Recap of Urusei Yatsura season 2 episode 7
The most recent episode was a two-parter, with the first half focusing on the characters of Ten and Ataru. The protagonist bought a pair of headphones from a seller who was later revealed to be an alien, with those gadgets leading to them swapping bodies.
Ataru decides to use Ten’s body to hit on girls and this leads to him running into Sakura, with a lot of comedic moments happening because of this. On the other hand, Ten was trying to convince Lum that he was him in Ataru’s body, although the latter was lying to get his way with both ladies.

The second part of the episode focuses on Ataru and Lum, with the former getting late to school and the latter coming up with a gadget to arrive sooner, although it ends up making them travel to the future. This is how Ataru got to meet Kokeru Moroboshi, with him and Lum finding out that he eventually had a family.
The remainder of the episode also gave away some hints of how the story could be ending since it was revealed that Lum and Ataru are not going to end up together. The biggest revelation was that Shinobu is going to be Ataru’s wife in the future, although the final moments of the episode end with a cliffhanger that hints at Inaba’s upcoming appearance in this adaptation.
