Title: What if they were together already??
Post by: Kroptik on September 15, 2007, 06:23:04 AM
This isn't exactly a different ending, more of a different start...

This (http://www.lum-chan.com/gallery/459_01_02_07_7_34_11.jpg) picture got me into thinking...

How do you think Lum and Ataru's relationship yould be if they knew each other since around they were 5 years old??

Share some thoughts and opinions in here. :P

Well Similar on what we know today and more developed in some way. Ataru hiding the fact that he loves her in front of everyone and Lum Trying to make it more noticible

Ataru would tell her that he liked her when he was young, and Lum believed her ears.

then when he grew elder, just similar to original story, he hides the fact that he loves Lum.  but everyone knows that because he had said that he liked her.

Ataru would girl-hunt her but when he would fall in love with her, he would act as 17 year old Ataru acts.

i think it will be more or less as his former relation with shinobu

Indeed, here's another one.

From what I've seen, chibi Lum is very kind and inocent. I think that she would think of being girl-hunted as a game and she wouldn't get mad at Ataru.
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: Cosmic King on September 16, 2007, 09:41:46 PM
Aye,therefore making her less angry when ataru goes girl hunt
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: Forgotten_Lum on September 17, 2007, 03:12:50 PM
I wouldn't think the relationship would be any different, well Ataru might be a little more open to Lum, but it wouldn't be any different, ataru grew with shinobu and still girl-hunted even though he had a girl he liked, i'm just thinking that the love triangle with Shinobu, Lum and Ataru would have been alot more long term(and alot more destructive)

Here's another interesting question: How did they meet so early?
If the only reason Lum and Ataru met was because of the tag match, how do you think they would have met earlier
Title: Re: What if they were together already??

Maybe they got their mind manipulated (it worked on Oh My Goddess)
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: cata on September 17, 2007, 07:30:47 PM
Interested question. Let me think... Lum was in a school trip (like Kintaro) and she liked so much of Earth that she decided to stay.
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: Kroptik on September 17, 2007, 08:57:28 PM
I don't see her parents allowing her... But she could go on holidays to Ataru's house every summer...
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: cata on September 17, 2007, 09:05:56 PM
Well they let Ten live with Lum and Ataru.
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: Kroptik on September 17, 2007, 09:08:56 PM
It's different since Lum is his cousin.

Do you think your parents would let you live at a friend's house in another country when you were 5 years old?? Of course not. Parents want to watch over their children. It's only natural.
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: Cosmic King on September 17, 2007, 09:38:06 PM
Lum is like a big sister/guardian to Jariten
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: cata on September 17, 2007, 09:39:53 PM
Very true (for Cosmic and Kroptik). Well maybe Lum was in a field trip and she met Ataru while he was going to school.

if so, the meeting of Lum and Ataru will look like a tragedy.
What do you think Ataru will act when he see his childhood friend is his enemy?
Even Lum.
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: cata on September 22, 2008, 11:07:56 PM
Just like he did on the first episode: "She's so hot! And it's a game of tag... so touching her is allowed. heheheh (huge grin)"

You'll have to remember that if they knew each other from a very young age things could be very different. Ataru's personality could be different, the game of tag could never happen, etc. Heck, maybe even Ataru would show his feelings more for Lum if they had grown together.

Post by: dak on September 23, 2008, 04:33:49 AM
Even if they grow up together, i don't think Ataru's personanity will change.
Remember, he play with Shinobu but he still chasing after another girls.

It remind me of something, Shinobu before Mendou's appearance, still fighting with Lum to get him back. She also grow up with him.

It mean, there will be some fights between Shinobu and Lum to get Ataru.
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: cata on September 23, 2008, 10:29:33 PM
Only in the beggining. Then is fighting with Lum for Mendou even though that Lum is not interested at all in Shu-chan. And then Shinobu is a man-hating woman! x) Don't take it personally, it's just a way of expression.
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: dak on September 24, 2008, 03:52:45 AM
I know. She stop fighting with Lum to get back Ataru because she realize his feeling for Lum. After she meet Asuka, look like she has given up Mendou. And she became man-hating woman when she saw two guys already have girlfriends still chasing after girl.

But it happen when she was 17. At here we talking about an 6 years old girl, it's totally different.
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: SandStorm on September 24, 2008, 11:16:07 PM
if they all were 6...
ataru was not girl-hunting, but playing tag with both lum and shinobu.
mendo would be one annoying little brat trying to get attention from the two girls and trying to trick out ataru,
lum would find it all a game and amusing, still, very caring for both her friends, even if sometimes her would put them in trouble. (like lum did to ran, when they were young, still, lum did it innocently)
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: cata on September 25, 2008, 02:08:13 AM
Can you imagine Mendo, Shinobu and Ataru's reactions to Lum's accidents? I can't... x)
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: FallinG_StaR on September 25, 2008, 02:18:08 AM
Well... Ataru and Mendou reactions I can Imagine...

Mendou crying in a corner... and Ataru screaming at her calling her stupid...

Shinobu... Idk...
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: SandStorm on September 25, 2008, 02:20:17 AM
i agree, is a bit difficult to imagine the reactions, but at least for both small ataru and mendo, we have some hints...

(the movies and series we see the kid ataru, and for example, the episode they travel back in time to cure mendo darkness phobia)
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: dak on September 25, 2008, 04:00:58 AM
Not hard to imagine, little Shinobu's reaction,uhm, do nothing, she will act normal like 17-age Shinoby does, or like little Ran.
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: SandStorm on September 25, 2008, 04:06:01 AM
little ran didn't looked as crazy as now... she was kind of sweet
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: dak on September 25, 2008, 04:15:47 AM
I know, if little Shinobu's action like gorw up Ran, we will have a totally different grow up Shinobu

the  show  shoud be  call  urusei yatsura kids.

(On  a  diferent  note.  How  about  a  story  were  Ataru  desides  to  properly  propoce  to  lum  and  ends  up  into  a  large  misunderstanding.)

i think i like the normal UY more, and its what got all the taste and  flavour to it.  :icon_mrgreen:

look like you are a, how can i put it, tradition type ( not sure i write it right?)
Title: Re: What if they were together already??

I can imagine the series... I would get addicted for sure!

Ataru will become another Ran in original manga.

Lum will become anothr Shinobu in original manga.

Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: Cosmic King on December 21, 2010, 06:45:08 PM
Ataru will become another Ran in original manga.

Lum will become another Shinobu in original manga.

Can you explain us why will this happen, Ataru+Lum?

I might agree (a little) with Ataru becoming a bit like Ran but I fail to see Lum becoming another Shinobu
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: Ataru+Lum on December 22, 2010, 12:06:40 AM
Young Lum usually bullied young Ren, even thought it was not intentionally.

I think Young Lum should bully young Ataru if they meet 5 years early.

(Lum, Ren and Ataru all are naughty people.)



For Shinobu, she loves Ataru, but the love is just the games of childhood because they meet very early.  Shinobu clearly knows Ataru's flirty.  If Lum meets Ataru early, their love is also just the games of childhood and loses the accidental excitement as chapter 1.

Post by: Cosmic King on December 22, 2010, 03:05:13 AM
Your theory would only work if you take Shinobu out of Ataru's life

Even if Lum knew Ataru when they were children, one should not forget that Shinobu was already Ataru's friend

There would be a Love/Friendship Triangle during their childhood instead of Lum becoming into a clone of Shinobu

The Status Quo would not change at all
Title: Re: What if they were together already??
Post by: cata on December 22, 2010, 04:02:57 PM
I don't think it would change anything. O.o

He would still get picked to play the tag game with Lum and the story would repeat itself.

I totally agree with Cata, I love Urusei yatsura for its original way of being!

For any variation, we always have fanfictions! :)
