Topic: Chance on love

[Necron 99]

LOL!!! He shrank over the course of the series! XD

I think he still has the shrinking disease as Lum once had, but I don't think no one would cure him though

Wait a minute... let's go back to the beginning...

I'm a firm believer that Ataru and Lum are destined to be together -- true soul-mates.  

However, she was engaged w/ Rei for a long time and courted even longer.  She eventually dumped Rei (I think it was the locket epi, when Rei swallowed it).  That kinda goes against the Oni belief that marriage proposals are sacred.  She misinterpreted Ataru's outburst as a marriage proposal and accepted afer only knowing him for only 10 days (the duration of the Tag Contest). 

Now that's a true chance on love!  How can she accept when she barely knew him?  Was that a rebound thing?  and from the forum string, we all agree that they grew to love each other -- it wasn't instantaneous.  I don't think the anime answered this... did the manga?  (or should I just over look this?) ???

Both anime and manga deal with this,but only inda manga it is way more easy 2 track

[janus]

Let's say maybe Rei seeing he has a lack of speech didn't even proposed to lum, so we could assume that they were never officially engaged, so dumping him was easy.

[eyedtentea]

No... they were engaged.  Ran was introduced to UY because of Lum and Rei's relationship.  Lum "stole" Rei from her and ended their (Lum + Rei) engagement.  Ran wanted to get back by stealing Ataru. 

Rei was referenced as Lum's ex-fiance multiple times (in the anime).  It was established that Rei was shallow and had a voracious appetite, and nothing more.  He also changed into the Oni-Cow thing when excited/emotional...  I guess she realized that and couldn't change him and called it quits.

Ataru is different.  She was able to read him right... But that happened after they met.  Did she just chance it, when she accepted his "proposal"?  I think she did and maybe was stiill hurt by Rei and that Ataru was a rebound thing.

[Cosmic King]

Probably you are right,eyedtentea,but even when it was a rebound thing it ended as true love

Fortunately.

[Cosmic King]

Amen to dat,who knew such a good relationship will appear from a rebound?

[cata]

I just say one thing (I am sure that I will say many other things):

Lum Invader and Ataru Moroboshi - both from UY (Urusei Yatsura) - are the Best Anime Couple of All Times.

[DarkDevil]

indeed

[cata]

That was said about a million times (I'm exagerating) but the more we say it the better for UY!
