Topic: Which episode did it happen in?

[Ome]

I SWEAR I saw this episode when I was young, and I've been trying to look it up for a friend of mine who is a theology major. However, I can't seem to find which episode or part of the manga this was.

Anyway, it was a story in which Ataru's running a track and accidentally summons the devil of lust King Belial, as the track he ran coincidentally matched Belial's seal from Goetia.

I remember very well the image of Belial sitting on a Vespa.

Does anybdoy else remember this? Does anybody have any clue where in the series this takes place?

The episode you're referring to is callled "Demonic Jogging". It can be found on the Urusei Yatsura TV Series Volume 5 DVD. It is episode #17-2.

Yes, I think that's the episode too...
17-2. Demonic Jogging
Every morning, Ataru goes jogging early to see girls. On the way to school, Ataru breaks the fall of an attempted suicide as he was grabbing for a 100-yen coin below her. Ataru and Mendo get into a dispute over who is more noble and end up playing a game of tennis.

Ataru enjoyed a brief moment of glory in that episode. All the girls started to admire him until the demon revealed that he was responsible for Ataru's "superb tennis skills".
