Urusei Yatsura, created by Rumiko Takahashi, has been a staple of anime culture since the late 1970s, known for its slapstick comedy and supernatural romance. Memes surrounding the series often center on the volatile relationship between the lecherous Ataru Moroboshi and the alien princess Lum, particularly her signature move of zapping him with high-voltage electricity whenever he misbehaves. With the 2022 reboot, the series saw a massive resurgence in popularity online, providing fresh templates for themes of unrequited love, jealousy, and chaotic energy. These memes are perfect for expressing 'shocking' realizations or the immediate consequences of bad decisions in a colorful, retro aesthetic.
