URUSEI YATSURA

Don't get so fidgety!

Stop looking away from me!

More than anyone else, I...

...love you, love you, love you the best!

...love you, love you, love you!

...love you, love you, love you!

...love you, love you, love you!

On nights when the stars are twinkling...

I dream all about you.

I love you, but you act like you don 't know.

I bet you're crazy for someone else by now!

Ah! Men all have so many loves.

Ah! You're spreading them all over...

and making me worry!

Don 't get so fidgety!

You're always looking all over the place!

Stop looking away from me!

More than anyone else, I...

love you the best! Love you the best!

The Great Spring War

Am I starving!

I'm home... What...?!

Not you!

What's all the fuss about? Young folks these days... they're so gutless!

I don't want to have to come home to a haunted house!

Why must my peaceful, sweet home be marred by such an ugly face?

Old folks these days... they're so disgusting!

How rude! And after I came here to say good-bye...

Good-bye?! Really?!

That's right- "Hail Amida Buddha..."

"I'm sorry, but as of tonight we won't be seeing each other anymore..."

Bravo! I'm glad you've made that decision!

Live long and prosper, Cherry! Hurrah!

Hey! Let me finish my story!

Mom, let's roast a turkey... eat cake and pie... and have ice cream too!

Why? It's not your birthday today-

Cherry's leaving!

My, what wonderful news!

It can't get any better than this... any happier than this!

Perfect timing! We're having sukiyaki tonight!

Why don't we have a party and celebrate!

S ... S ...Sukiyaki?! You mean, with beef and everything?!

Yep, and shirataki noodles as well!

And shimeji mushrooms...?!

Absolutely!

How sad, Cherry! It breaks my heart that we have to say farewell!

Wait... I came here to tell you the truth...

I know it's hard on you, Cherry...

I know we might never meet again ... but... good-bye!

Shame on you for not hearing me out!

Lum, great news! Huh?

Welcome home, Darling- I've been waiting for you!

What's that silly outfit for?

Come with me!

W...Wait! The sukiyaki party is about to begin!

All you care about is food and women!

That's not true! Besides, we haven't had sukiyaki in ages!

Darling, we don't have much time!

No! We may not have time, but we DO have sukiyaki!

You don't get it, do you?!

I'm being kidnapped!

You know that a couple should stay together!

Save me some sukiyaki!

Just as I foresaw... Tonight is a time for farewells...

May you go straight to where you may rest in peace...

or so I pray...

"Setsubun:" The Change of Season festival... Darling, we're going to my planet's "Setsubun" festival-

in which the Oni (Devils) are driven out- Setsubun? Isn't that the day after tomorrow?

It's today on my planet, because of the difference in time zones-

Gee... that sukiyaki ought to be ready about now-

The change of season is an important event, held only once a year-

Participation by everyone is mandatory!

Sukiyaki is an crucial household event that happens once a year at most!

You're still thinking about that?

Anyway, other than run away, what can Oni do at the Setsubun festival?

We don't run away! We fight fiercely!

Coward... Don't you chicken out!

Humans don't run away! It's always been that way since history began!

I'm glad to hear that, Darling- Way to go! OK, let's step on it!

Switch to Lightspeed!

They're late!

Everything's ready for the fight, so where's Lum?

I've been waiting here so long, my head's beginning to expand!

What's taking you so long?! Are you trying to make fools out of us?!

It's gonna be fun- Come on!

Shut up! Stop trying to act tough, you poor little wimpy Gods!

Did you hear that? They're trying to pick a fight!

My whip is always ready!

Daddy! Sorry I'm late!

Greetings can wait! Hurry up!

Er... this looks more like a showdown than a Setsubun festival ...

It doesn't just look like a showdown, it lS a showdown!

This year's your first battle, so I'll back you up as much as I can-

Be a sport- Do your best, my man!

Darling, I'm counting on you!

Fight... with those guys?! I'll get hurt for sure!

He'll be lucky if he just "gets hurt," eh, Bishamon?

Yeah... I wonder what the death toll will be this year...

Can it be...? Me, dying here... without tasting that sukiyaki?!

N...No! N...No way! I'm going home!

Where are you going, son-in-law? The enemy is that way!

I expect you to do well!

It's your first battle, Darling- You have to show everyone that you're brave!

It's my first battle, too! I'm gonna do my best!

Who's gonna get it first?

HELP!

Wonderful! You just can't hide your pre-battle excitement, eh?

That's my son-in-law, all right!

Dear, I can't find Ataru anywhere...

What about Lum?

I have a bad feeling... I wonder if he's OK?

That gluttonous boy would never go out and leave sukiyaki ...

Charge!

Here we come! We're gonna kill you!

What's the matter, son-in-law?

Come on, son-in-law- Don't embarrass me!

If you don't do anything, you'll disgrace Lum as well!

No! I don't want to die!

Ah, no! No! No! You're crushing me!

How dumb! It's only "Fill-Up-the- Basket-" Some showdown!

Come on! We're losing!

Say... who's that girl next to the white basket?

That's Benten, one of the Gods of Luck Gang!

Benten ...? I ...I'm gonna fight, Father! I won't let you down!

Go for it, son-in-law!

Excuse me... Pardon me...

Hey, you can't just come into our group!

Don't mind me, don't mind me... Sorry, excuse me...

One for Red, one for White!

He's one of the Whites! That's against the rules!

Oh, Benten, I am not worthy!

S ... Son-in-law! What are you up to?

Hey, hurry up! Throw in more balls!

Hey, hurry up! Throw in more balls! Hello, Mademoiselle...

It's Darling's sick- ness again!

Darling! We're still fighting! Don't go that way!

Forget that creep, Lum- Let's win!

You bet!

Benten...

Darling, come back here!

I'm not leaving such a luscious babe as this...! How yummy!

How delicious...

D...Dear... I could swear I just heard Ataru's voice...

A...A...Ataru, are you back?

He's not here... could he be dead by now?

Maybe he's come back to haunt us!

That voice sounded very mournful-

Oh, Ataru!

Honey!

It's all your fault!

You were the one who said "Let's eat without leaving any for Ataru!"

But I haven't had sukiyaki for months! Besides, you ate more meat than I!

Bull! You hid the meat between the veggies and pigged out!

Well, I like vegetables!

Excuse me...

As I thought... Ataru's ghost is wandering, lost...

He might have been a fool, but he was our only son-

Poor Ataru...

Your son still has a vicious attachment to this world-

Let us hold a memorial service, so his spirit can pass on to the next world-

The reason must have been ...

Sukiyaki is the only reasonable answer- His spirit sure led a miserable life!

It's because his father's salary just wasn't enough ...

If you have any complaints, try telling them to my boss!

You know I can't do that!

To appease this type of ghost, it's best to serve it food-

We must have a sukiyaki party in front of your altar!

You look awfully happy about this...

You must be imagining things!

Oooh! Darling, what are you doing?

Benten ...

Y ...You're one of the Oni Gang!

Don't be so cruel, my cute little Benten!

Son-in-law! What the heck are you doing?

Is this OK? Your wife is watching!

Don't worry about it! I'm planning a divorce!

Darling!

That anger in your eyes makes you look even more irrestible!

Why do these things happen to me?

These balls are all bombs, and when they touch that point, they explode!

I ... I'll be back!

W ...W...Wait!

Out of my way, you tiger-cow!

Lum, you look lovely today!

Lum, you look lovely today! Really?

See you later!

See you later! Darling! We can explode together!

Darling! We can explode together!

Maybe some other time! Darling! We can explode together!

Maybe some other time!

Maybe some other time! Darling!

Out! Out! Out of my way!

You're more beautiful than Lum! If Lum is a small mushroom...

in the sukiyaki, then you're the best, most tender beef!

Darling!

If Lum is a potato, you're a sirloin steak...

no, a sushi deluxe!

Do you really think so?

Uh... I wish I could taste you right now!
