Urusei Yatsura season 2 episode 2 is coming out January 19 at 1:25 am JST, and fans are already enjoying the return of one of manga and anime's most underrated classics.
The first episode of this second season was a two-parter, and it felt like Ataru's shenanigans and Lum's quirky nature never changed, thus offering the comedy and tenderness that have defined Rumiko Takahashi's work throughout the years.
Furthermore, considering that the series has a strong episodic nature, there is a very strong chance that Urusei Yatsura season 2 episode 2 is going to offer a lot of one-off storylines that adhere to the story's overarching plot of Ataru trying to flirt with women and Lum punishing him for that. However, these moments always find a way to solidify their bond and show they do care about one another.

Recap of the previous episode
As mentioned earlier, the first episode of the season was a two-parter, covering different chapters from Rumiko Takahashi's iconic manga. The first one involves Ataru taking a special "fantasy gum" from Jariten that can create anything the person wants depending on how big the bubble it makes, which is something that the protagonist wants to try.
Ataru uses the gum to create some of his most prominent crushes, which were already shown in the first season, such as nurse Sakura, but with very provocative outfits. It leads to Lum finding out while they are both at school, and shenanigans ensue, with the former chasing Ataru and the latter creating several clones of his as a scapegoat.
The second part of the episode focused on the family eating together and Lum being hit accidentally by a rice cooker as Ataru was arguing with Jariten. Now, Lum can only speak her alien language, leading to a lot of fun situations where she can't communicate properly, and Ataru wants to capitalize on this by flirting with other girls, much to the former's annoyance.
Lum disappears and is seen working on something in her lab, while Ataru is getting worried about her going missing. Eventually, she comes back but ignores him, leading to Ataru apologizing in a very tender moment, with Lum revealing that she crafted an artifact that allows the boy to speak and understand her language, although it looks funny on him, thus leading to people making fun of him.
What to expect from Urusei Yatsura season 2 episode 2?
Urusei Yatsura season 2 episode 2 is very likely to adapt a couple of chapters from Takahashi's manga while maintaining the episodic nature of the series. It is worth pointing out that this anime follows a very free formula and focuses more on comedy, which is why there isn't much of an overarching plot, leading to a lot more stories involving the characters' everyday lives.
