The ship takes off, leaving the schoolyard full of rose petals and confused students. Lum asks if Ataru is really going through with this, and when he says yes, flies off, followed by Ten. Lum tries for another lightning blast on the trio, but it bounces off again, and Babara explains that she’s put up a barrier to protect Ataru from harm. Ataru assumes the woman is Elle, but an old woman comes out and explains that she’s the ship’s captain instead.Īfter clearing up a misunderstanding, the old woman identifies herself as not Elle but Elle’s nanny, Babara, and adds that Elle is even more beautiful than the captain. She tries to blast Ataru as he charges up the stairway, but the lightning bounces off. Lum is having none of it, and is not pleased that Ataru’s been engaged for 11 years. An energy stairway comes down, and an attractive (and, for an attractive alien in this series, wildly overdresssed) woman arrives before Ataru, saying she’s there to take him to Planet Elle. The affray is interrupted by gathering clouds, lights in the sky, and a rain of rose petals, followed by the arrival of a huge UFO. Mendou orders them to stay in reserve and charges up the stairs into the remains of the tower, where Lum draws the line at letting her husband be bisected. She asks who Elle is (Ten showed her the invitation) Ataru again protests his innocence, but the resulting electrical blast blows out the school clock just as Mendou’s armored division arrives. The torture resumes but is interrupted by Shinobu, who can’t accept that it’s all happening again, and then by a bolt of lightning from Lum. Megane monologues that they put up with Ataru being with Lum because it made her happy, but this time is different. Megane uses the promise of a cute girl to lure Ataru to the clock tower, where the Stormtroopers are joined by Sadoyama of the Torture Research Club (last seen in episode 1b) to interrogate Ataru about just what’s going on.Ītaru insists that he doesn’t know anything despite being nearly tickled to death. We cut to Ataru and Lum walking to school, while chattering voices around them discuss the rumors that a) Ataru is marrying this Elle, b) Lum doesn’t know since Ataru is still alive, c) no one wants to tell her, d) Megane or Mendou are likely to kill Ataru, and e) no one knows who Elle is. Over the opening credits sequence, the delivery alien distributes invitations to Cherry and Sakura, Shinobu, and the Stormtroopers, sparking a furious rage in the latter two. He assumes it’s a joke, but dispatches the minions to inform the intelligence bureau. He’s unimpressed to hear that it’s a wedding invitation, until he finds out that it’s signed by Ataru Moroboshi and “Elle”. It leaves the rose-adorned envelope in the Mendou mailbox, and a pair of motorcycle messengers drive miles through the complex to deliver it to where Mendou is practicing his sword work. A rose petal floats down into the boy’s hand, and he shrugs, saying that in 11 years he’ll be 17.īack in the usual art style, a purple duck-billed alien pedals a bicycle through the sky, carrying an envelope addressed to Shutaro Mendou. The boy says he’s okay with that, and as her UFO departs, she says she’ll be back for him in 11 years. The boy jumps toward the girl’s shadow, and she explains that on her planet, stepping on someone’s shadow is a marriage proposal. Summary: A boy and a girl chase each other in a strikingly stylized silhouette style (alliteration unintentional). Characters introduced: Elle, Babara, Rose, delivery alien
