Recap of Urusei Yatsura season 2 episode 4
The latest episode was a two-parter, with the first one starring the return of Princess Kurama as she is looking for a husband, although her servants ended up lying to her about having found a perfect partner for her.
It was eventually discovered through their supercomputer that there was a perfect partner for Kurama, who ended up being Rei and the servants kidnapped him from Ran. This resulted in the latter trying to rescue him but failing to do so.
Ran decided to go ask Lum for help, although this led to a misunderstanding when they arrived at Kurama's base as the former thought that the protagonist was trying to steal Rei from her. Additionally, Ataru was involved as he was attempting to flirt with Kurama to no avail, resulting in him, Lum, and Ran falling into one of the princess' traps and falling into her dungeon.
As all this is happening, Kurama is not aware of Rei's real animal form, which was the source of comedy because the man was trying to eat every single plate he was offered. Eventually, Rei decides to save Ran and leave the place, with Kurama discovering that he can turn into an animal, and that makes her lose interest.
The second half of the episode was focused on Shutaro Mendo's father asking him to get an arranged marriage with the daughter of the Mizunokoji family, whom the Mendos have had a long-standing rivalry with. Not even Tobiramo Mizunokoji knew about the existence of her sister, who ended up being someone with a huge armor and being sheltered by her servants, with the episode ending with the cliffhanger of Ataru seeing her real face.
What to expect from Urusei Yatsura season 2 episode 5?
Urusei Yatsura season 2 episode 5 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.
