In the second episode of Urusei Yatsura, we see the arrival of Ten-chan, an alien who fell from the skies and landed in Ataru's bathtub. Ten-chan belongs to a race of intergalactic postal carriers who have been tasked with delivering a special package to Lum. However, Ten-chan soon discovers that the package has been stolen by Lum's classmates, her friends, and even her own parents.
Meanwhile, Ataru is struggling with the bizarre dynamics of his relationship with Lum. Having lost a game of tag against her, he has become her unwilling fiance and is now the target of her affections. Yet, as he tries to escape from her advances, he finds himself attracted to Lum's friend, Sakura. When Lum discovers that Ataru has been flirting with another girl, she becomes jealous and sets out to punish him.
The episode is full of wacky hijinks and slapstick humor, as Ten-chan tries to retrieve the stolen package and deliver it to Lum while Ataru navigates the complexities of his love life. Along the way, we meet a host of eccentric characters, including Mrs. Swallow and Mrs. Penguin, two middle-aged women who are vying for the attention of Lum's father. Mrs. Swallow is an elegant and sophisticated woman who speaks in a refined manner and dresses in expensive clothing. Mrs. Penguin, on the other hand, is a loud and boisterous woman who wears a penguin costume and speaks in a harsh, grating voice.
As Ten-chan races against time to deliver the package, Ataru finds himself in a series of absurd situations. He is chased by Lum's father, who is determined to see him marry Lum, and he is pursued by Sakura, who is convinced that he has feelings for her. At one point, he accidentally breaks into Mrs. Swallow's house and is mistaken for a burglar. Mrs. Swallow, who has a crush on Lum's father, decides to use this opportunity to get rid of Ataru and impress Lum's father with her bravery.
Overall, the episode is a fast-paced and humorous romp through the world of Urusei Yatsura. It introduces new characters, expands on the relationships between the main cast, and showcases the show's unique brand of offbeat comedy. Whether you're a fan of anime or just looking for a good laugh, this episode is sure to deliver the goods.
