Finally Rei appear.
Rei vs Ataru.
Ataru in his mind "just go and take Lum"

He's a Sigma male, he goes after things he doesn't have. Not implying people as things btw.

The handsome hungry tiger that gets all the girls but only wants Lum this anime is all about loving that person love triangle and stuff shizzz

Shinobu: "Why would you pass up a guy like this?"
Lum: "He transforms everytime he gets upset!"
Shinobu: "But he's hot."
Lum: "Not to mention he's an absolute glutton!"
Shinbou: "I hear you Lum. But he's hot."

Gotta give it to Mrs. Moroboshi, she (and Lum) might be the only women in the show that do a thing called staying loyal to their men.

In Lum's case though it's unwanted

I do think it's kinda funny how Rei's persistence with Lum parallels Lum's persistence with Ataru. But that's probably intentional (and hilarious).

You guys do know the literal translation is 'Obnoxious People' right? Given that, it's a given what types of characters are in it. Still love it though, and I love Lum. I want one.

Yes I am aware that the characters are annoying and stupid on purpose...Doesn't stop some people from missing the point tho

True. Ataru should come around eventually though.

It's all about the money

ex-fiance arrived...
...food disappeared

Comes to school.
Eats a bunch of bentos.
Gets hungry.
Leaves.

This guy is the walking definition of losing sight of your original goal.

...Gigachad?

Yeah I know

Litterally the worst character in the series. Shows up very rarely causes a disaster eats everything then goes. Surprised we had Rans appearance first and we also haven't gotten the biggest brat in the show who is pretty much a 3rd main character in the show. Tenten.

I hated Tenten so much on the first series then i'm enjoying his absence for now. He's just a f*king troublemaker always excused because it's a child. And when he came to the series a bunch of episodes were wasted because of him for what i recall most of the times.

Ten was spoiled brat. But the fights with Ataru were funny

True, but he is part of the weirdness and fun

Hmmm okay this is hilarious.
I mean nigga, it's a comedy anime, and pure comedy (like one of these?) shows like these tend to have characters that are just as obnoxious and retarded as fuck just like any other dumbass niggas.
Retardness is sometimes a part of the funni

So basically...just a less intelligent version of Lum?

Exactly what i thought people tried to called Rei as a worst, meanwhile Ataru being worst for almost every episodes yet no complaint. I wonder what kind of person watched this show for people who called Rei the worst.

Probably because ataru’s personality seemed different for a harem lead I mean he is a delinquent

Trash you mean.

An asshole if anything

tenten is worse im so glad he not in the rebbot he actually the only alien that obnoxious maybe ran and rei

Rei is the worst. They could delete his character entirely and the show would work and even be better for it.

No because then there'd be no parallel to Lum.

Wait... since when has Ten been the "3rd main character in the show"? I always felt like that was Shinobu (with Mendo being the 4th).

That being said, in the original manga, Ten doesn't appear until chapter 63. For whatever reason, the 80s anime introduced him waaaay earlier on, in episode 2. This newer anime is likely just sticking closer to the way it was in the source material, even if they have been taking many other liberties.

The new anime doesn't follow either and rushes nearly everything. Also Tenten was litterally there more then most side characters and a lot of the stuff ended up focusing him not just Ataru and Lum. The new anime is just utterly bad and just extremely flashy. They pretty much rush all the characters story arcs of like 50 chapters into a single episode and making them worse. The new anime is not like the original manga nor anime at all. It is not closer at all.

I'll agree that this new anime does rush things quite a bit, but with the lower episode count that they're forced to work with, I think they're doing a good job of making the best of the situation. That's neither here nor there, though. The topic is about Ten (and his name is Ten, not Tenten, btw).

In the previous anime, Ten was introduced much, MUCH earlier than he was in the manga, and certainly this does give him a more prominent presence. But even if he is there a lot, in a majority of those earlier episodes he's hardly relevant to the plot at all. Outside of his introduction episode, he doesn't really start getting much of anything relevant to him until later on, around the time he should have been introduced, and even then, he still doesn't seem to have as much importance as Shinobu or Mendo. His having a consistent presence is irrelevant, otherwise you could place Ataru's parents just as high. Ten isn't around as consistently as he is because of how important he is, it's because he lives in Ataru's (the main character's) house.

Literally I know his name isn't tenten and it's often more heard then his actual name by Lum in the original which he rarely says Jariten. It's either he's called Ten or Tenten. I also don't think you watched the original or read in the least before commenting and got caught with the whole part of trying to compare it to the manga. Chapter you mentioned by the way is such a joke given how early on that chapter would be in any anime in general and this series particular lasted for a pretty lengthy time. A lot of her major series are about a decade long too until the sequel of Inu Yasha. Keep going on and on. Your doing it for nothing. Ten didn't come in after Ran and Ran did not come before Rei was introduced. It was just their way of forcing each character's story into a single episode. It's why people won't know why Ran wants revenge against Lum which she had a very good reason to.

Ten consistently also was a major part often tormenting Ataru or chasing older women or being chased by other children his age he didn't want to be chased by. He was very actively being centered alongside Ataru and Lum. Mendo would come next after this. Characters like Shinobu and almost any other character would go a very lengthy time before returning if they ever did. The characters that were pretty much always there was Ten Ataru and Lum and even Lum had less active and whacky scenarios then Ten would. Very rarely would you see something like Lum scheming for Ataru to quit his ways compared to Ten's antics of bothering Ataru or chasing girls as well or various other antics like his horn or breathing fire or disturbing a classroom trying to keep quiet for negative attention or his interactions with side characters. Ten pretty much had almost as much involvement in the story as Ataru did. In terms highly doubt you even took a glance at any of the content in the least.

What I meant about the "Tenten" thing is that literally NOBODY calls him that, so I have no idea where you're pulling that from. Ataru calls him Jariten, Lum calls him Ten-chan. I've never heard anyone call him "Tenten". But that's all beside the point, I'm just trying to clarify what I meant when I brought that up.

And I only bring up the manga because of how different a lot of things were between it and the old anime (and yes, this new anime is also very different from either of those two, as well). In the old anime, Ten came before Rei and Ran, but in the manga, Rei and Ran came before Ten. Not that any of that really matters all that much, because this new anime introduced Mendo much earlier than either the old anime or the original manga (very similar to how the old anime introduced Ten much earlier). But that's just it. I fully realize that this reboot anime is introducing characters in different order to try and fit certain stuff together differently, but the way Ten was introduced in the previous anime was also that. And that's mostly why I was mentioning it, to make the point that Ten not being introduced yet isn't some big change like you made it seem like it was.

I also won't deny that Ten had a lot of stories, but it's hardly exclusive to him (I'd argue Ryuunosuke has way more stories about her than Ten does, and I certainly wouldn't consider Ryuunosuke to be on that level of importance that you're trying to put Ten on), and I still don't see how you can say he's more relevant than Shinobu or Mendo when the series has consistently had Ataru, Lum, Shinobu, and Mendo as something of a quartet in a vast majority of stories. Shinobu in particular, why are you downplaying her so much? She was Ataru's girlfriend at the start of the series and was consistently part of a love-triangle that lasted a lot longer in the manga and old anime than here, which you should know. Not to mention how she had an entire arc toward the end of the series that centered around her.

I don't know if we're misunderstanding each other or something. I never claimed that Ten was a minor character, just that I feel that calling him "the 3rd main character" is a huge overstatement. Unless if there's some other point you're trying to argue?

Also highly to correct you Ataru calls him ten and nobody ever really calls him by his full name asides on rare occasions like Lum being mad at him or something formal.

(eats more popcorn watching the obvious)

That's... not even what I was talking about, and I'm starting to wonder if English isn't your native language (and I don't mean that as an insult, so I hope you don't take it as one). I was referring specifically to your use of "Tenten" (as opposed to just Ten).

But it was and can be seen in your post liar. Has nothing to do with my language and that was the dumbest insult seeing as we're both writing in English. Ya Lum has said it a a few times in the original. Ten is the most common usuage of the name overall by pretty much every character and Jariten his full name is almost never used which your first retort to fight on this stupid fight caused by you was acting like it was. Also Lum has also called Ten Ten-chan as well which she uses on various of her close friends as well. Chan being something also Ataru uses on girls like Ran. Ran by the way showed very later on while Rei showed up almost instantly in the series yet you really want to all big about this.

(Eats more popcorn. Just eating it up as you dig a deeper hole when it's obvious you just looked at wikis and am able to read the one you likely read easy enough. Fandom. LoL. Maybe you should actually read and watch the past stuff. LoL.)

I wasn't insulting you (I was just suggesting the possibility that you were misunderstanding me) and everytime I asked you to show me proof that "Tenten" was ever used, it seems to fall on deaf ears. Instead, you keep claiming that I said Jariten was used more than Ten (I didn't?), when I only mentioned those names because they're names that were actually used, and "Tenten" has never been used (this was the point of the name thing, but also the thing you've chosen to start ignoring). I'm not even sure what the point of this discussion (if it can even be called that anymore) is at this point, other than your insistence that I'm completely unfamiliar with the 80s show or original manga (something that can be easily disproven if you looked me up on other sites... though it's interesting you never once realized my own name is a reference).

Since we've veered way off of what the topic was originally about and this is obviously going nowhere and has pretty much become pointless now, I'm done. You're more interested in insulting me and questioning my familiarity with Urusei Yatsura than you are of having a proper discussion, so I'm just wasting my time now. Have fun continuing to call me stupid and "eating popcorn", I guess.

Asides that Lum does so you definitely didn't read the manga or watch the original so keep going. I'm amused at you being dumb and continuing. They pretty much never say is full name which you were trying to throw out there like they did which is a straiught out obvious that you didn't watch the original in the least added your additional comments of when he was introduced or your comment towards him not being called. I know Lum would call him ten but she did call him it also. Jariten has only been said a few times usually out of formality which is pretty rare. So your fighting this even though it's obvious to even many who did watch or read the original that your lying.

(eats popcorn)

Not sure why you've decided to be so aggressive and rude (not once did I ever call you anything disrespectful), but since that's what you're resorting to, I think we're pretty much done here. The only other thing I'd respond to is if you actually were to show me where "Tenten" has ever been said.

As for what I've seen/read, you can believe whatever you want to, I guess. But the fact that it hinges on whether or not I've heard "Tenten" being used as a nickname for Ten seems a bit odd, and I'm starting to wonder if maybe it's something from a different region's localization.

Character story arcs? DUDE, its Urusei Yatsura, it's episodic as hell. Are you sure you're not making a head canon of all the different chapters/ episode into one continuity?

The original anime went WAY into a different direction than the manga

The new anime does not follow the manga. It is intentionally rushed to fit all the stories and characters in single episode so I don't think you really do know what your talking about when you keep trying to act like you do.

Lol, Rei shows his human form, and suddenly none of the girls care about Mendou anymore.

He got beaten in his own game lol

Meanwhile in our world today "Money First, Looks Later" lmao. Mendou's statement fitted our world since Mendou kinda got both.

i want to know what that's like - having looks and money.....must be nice...

you can eat whatever you want, whenever you want and can sleep peacefully looking forward to tomorrow.
Plus you can build new rx 7000 navi gpu and zen 3 processor system

Yeah

Okay, so when Rei goes on a rampage, eating all food in sight and proposing to every girl he comes across, he’s seen as “handsome” and “endearing”, but when I do it, I’m “disturbing the peace” and “am doing things inappropriate for a Chuck E. Cheese’s” smh

Parent’s Day episode next time! Looks like Atari’s dad and Lum’s mom are attending, and they have the same VAs as Ataru and Lum in the original series.

BWA HAHAHAAHA!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah I know
