Lum and Ataru do eventually arrive, but theyre also doing their couple schtick.
Shinobu heads home alone, wishing someone who only liked her would fall in her lap.
While that doesnt happen, she does find Inaba on the ground suffering from heat stroke.
Ataru tags along because hes worried about Shinobu; Lum tags along because shes worried about Ataru.
Once theyre free of there the couples are swapped and bound by leg shackles.
Ataru and Shinobu head to a fork in the road, one looking like heaven, one like hell.
Ofcoursesomeone as innocent as Inaba is going to give the mermaid a kiss if it means saving Shinobu.
All because he only wanted to take this journey with Shinobu.
No one else would do.
But Inaba never cared about any of those temptations.
But its clear hes far happier about forming a connection with Shinobu, and the feeling is mutual.
With most seriousUruseiepisodes understandably focused on Lum and Ataru, its just nice to see Shinobu get some love!
