BUT WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!???! Tomobikanon 11/7/24 (Thu) 00:18:32 No.728

If Jason Vorhees taught us never to hitchike, what did we ever learn from Urusei Yatsura?

The borderline Buddhist messaging is pretty clear when you realize Ataru's attachment to women is the source of the problem, not to mention Ran's obsessive rivalry with Lum and the way the Shinto master Cherry is obviously a fraud. Its like an absurd counterpart to Sex and Zen minus the graphic love scenes and Amy Yip's huge tits (although Lum doesn't exactly disappoint in that area). Chasing after girls skirts leads to karmic retribution in the form of forced marriage to an alien princess. But is the show encouraging me to seek carnel relations with alien women or dissuade me? I can't tell. Is it about the futility of sex? Is Ataru the boy Sisyphus doomed to be forever cockblocked?

It doesn't mean anything anon. It's just to pad out the run time with meaningless conflict.

Its kinda like a slasher movie with the whole "if you have sex you die" message. I think UY is trying to say the same thing in more words.

The proletariat will rise up and overthrow the bourgeois!

OP has a better theory than me. They said he has unlucky features and born on Friday 13th so I ran with that. So I guess the message of the story isn't free pussy for those who don't bitch?

Women control the means of reproduction. They are bourgeois.

The result of bad karma for a past life. He probably barely escaped reincarnation as a loli sex slave.

That you can't always get what you want, but life would be pretty fucking boring if you did.
