For Season 2, I will update this list as new episodes are released.
- Episode 24A Fantasy Bubble Gum
Manga - Chapter 275 Fantasy Bubble Gum
Original anime counterpart – Episode 169 It’s Exciting! The Terrible Overhead Cooler!!Note: The original anime combined Chapter 275 with Chapter 241 Ice Cooler Relaxation. The concept of the fantasy bubble gum was merged with the ice coolers. The Remake only adapts Chapter 275 and does it faithfully.
- Episode 24B Love Knows No Barriers
Manga - Chapter 206 Love Knows No Barriers
Original anime counterpart – Episode 163 Oh No! Darling Can't Understand Me!Note: The original anime episode was much longer and had references to other anime like Aim for the Ace! and even the movie Halloween. But most of the original content of the episode focused on Ataru's degeneracy for one whole week which IMO made a far more impactful ending so I think it's worth going back to watch it.
- Episode 25A Trickle of Memories
Manga - Chapter 176 Trickle of Memories
Original anime counterpart – Episode 81 Oh! The Memories of Mother - Episode 25B Album of Memories
Manga - Chapter 177 Album of Memories
Original anime counterpart – Episode 81 Oh! The Memories of Mother - Episode 25C The Home Visit Blues: Feuding Fujinami Edition
Manga - Chapter 298 The Home Visit Blues
Original anime counterpart – Episode 189 Deadly Home Visits! A Teacher's Life is Dangerous TooNote: Right now we have no idea how this episode will be adapted since it's not out yet. But the sub title "Feuding Fujinami Edition" implies it'll be a cut-down adaptation of the original manga chapter, only featuring the Fujinamis. Time will tell.
Edit- Seems like this manga chapter has been split into 5 parts and each part will be included as a post-credits scene at the end of some episodes.
- Episode 26 Electric Jungle
Manga - Chapter 301-304 Electric Jungle Part 1-4
Original anime counterpart – Episode 192 Come Quickly, Darling! Lum's Dangerous Marriage TalkNote: This is the 1st episode of Season 2 and the 4th episode of the Urusei Yatsura Remake overall that is full-length.
The OG Episode 192 was the last episode that adapted the latest chapters (at the time) of the manga before being canceled. Episodes 193 and 195 adapted older chapters and 194 was a rebroadcast of Episode 44. - Episode 27A Lover Thief
Manga - Chapter 207-208 Lover Thief, Part 1 & 2
Original anime counterpart – Episode 121 Here Again! Hunter of Love Princess KuramaNote: Since in the Remake it's going to be half an episode, I'm guessing it'll cut some scenes from the manga or have fast pacing since the second story of Episode 27 should be much longer.
- Episode 27B That Mizunokoji Girl
Manga - Chapter 224 That Mizunokoji Girl, Part 1
Original anime counterpart – Episode 132 Matchmaking Hell! Is the Armored Daughter a Beauty? Beast?Note: This is a strange one. The manga story spans 4 chapters so the original anime adapted them in 2 episodes which was a rare thing for the OG anime to do. So I assumed the Remake would dedicate one entire episode to That Mizunokoji Girl storyline. But since it's only half an episode, I guess it's going to skip a lot of scenes from the manga. Or parts of the story arc will be covered in a later episode.
- Episode 28 The Continuation Of: That Mizunokoji Girl
Manga - Chapter 225-227 That Mizunokoji Girl, Part 2-4
Original anime counterpart – Episode 132 Matchmaking Hell! Is the Armored Daughter a Beauty? Beast? and Episode 133 Love of the Armored Daughter! Maiden Heart is Shaky WobblingNote: This is the 2nd episode of Season 2 and the 5th episode of the Urusei Yatsura Remake overall that is full-length. This means this episode is technically the 2nd part of a 2-parter.
So, Episode 27B only adapted Chapter 224 and the rest will be adapted in Episode 28 as a full-length episode. Honestly, I thought all 4 chapters would be covered in one episode so this is a bit of a bonus. The OG anime adapted this arc in 2 episodes and it's nice to see that the Remake also did something similar. - Episode 29A Kotatsu Love
Manga - Chapter 250 Kotatsu Love
Original anime counterpart – Episode 146 The Scampering Kotatsu-Neko! Anything to Get WarmNote: This episode choice is peculiar because the Remake completely skipped Kotatsu-Neko's origin story. So it's weird to have an episode about him adapted.
If you want to see the origin story of Kotatsu-Neko then watch Episode 51 A Cat with a Grudge on the Stairs or read Chapter 111 There's a Cat on the Stairs! Highly recommend it.
I personally would've preferred some other chapter like Chapter 119 Valentine's Disillusion for obvious reasons. - Episode 29B Lum Becomes a Cow
Manga - Chapter 221 Lum Becomes a Cow
Original anime counterpart – Episode 117 Lum-chan's Becoming a Cow?Note: Adaptation of a fan favorite story. Although I wouldn't consider it one of my favorites, it did look pretty good from the trailer. But again, I personally would've preferred Chapter 119 or at least more screen time for this story instead of it being in a 3-segment episode.
- Episode 29C The Home Visit Blues: Luxurious Mendo Edition
Manga - Chapter 298 The Home Visit Blues
Original anime counterpart – Episode 189 Deadly Home Visits! A Teacher's Life is Dangerous TooNote: Second part of The Home Visit Blues. There will be 3 more parts.
- Episode 30A Eerie Earmuffs
Manga - Chapter 72 Eerie Earmuffs
Original anime counterpart – Episode 24 Beware the Earmuffs! - Episode 30B Family Tree
Manga - Chapter 12 Intention
Original anime counterpart – NoneNote: Note: This is the second story of the manga that was not adapted in the OG anime in any way until the Remake adapted it into anime for the first time.
The original anime probably skipped it for a specific reason. The chapter came out when Urusei Yatsura was still pretty new and Shinobu was still considered the main heroine. The anime was released a few years later when Lum was considered the new main heroine. So it's speculated that's the reason this chapter was skipped in the original anime.
Also, the name "Intention" in the new Viz translation of the Urusei Yatsura manga is one of its many mistranslations. The kanji of Intention and Family Tree look very similar so that's probably how it got mistranslated. But it still blows my mind that they didn't proofread the manga which resulted in a very rough and unnatural feeling translation. - Episode 31 Open the Door, Part 1
Manga - Chapter 329 Open the Door, Chapter 330 The Ends of Love and Sadness, Chapter 331 Running for Tomorrow
Original anime counterpart – Urusei Yatsura OVA 3 Inaba the DreammakerNote: This is the 3rd episode of Season 2 and the 6th episode of the Urusei Yatsura Remake overall that is full-length. Not only that but also it's a 2-parter. Making it similar to Episode 28 The Continuation Of: That Mizunokoji Girl.
In the original series, the Inaba storyline was adapted into a single hour-long OVA that was released after the TV series had finished airing. Apparently, it also screened in some theaters like some OVAs of the time. In the Remake this will likely be a 2-episode story. - Episode 32A Open the Door, Part 2
Manga - Chapter 332 Dream Doors, Chapter 333 Once for Tomorrow
Original anime counterpart – Urusei Yatsura OVA 3 Inaba the Dreammaker
Note: This episode is the 2nd part of a 2-parter. - Episode 32B The Home Visit Blues: Prohibitive Miyake Edition
Manga - Chapter 298 The Home Visit Blues
Original anime counterpart – Episode 189 Deadly Home Visits! A Teacher's Life is Dangerous TooNote: Third part of The Home Visit Blues. There are 2 more parts left.
- Episode 33A Haunted Mendo
Manga - Chapter 274 Haunted Mendo
Original anime counterpart – Episode 166 Scary!! There is an Octopus on Shūtarō's Head!? - Episode 33B Last Date
Manga - Chapter 247 Last Date
Original anime counterpart – Episode 157 I Love Darling's Kindness...Note: Adaptation of one of the fan favorite manga chapters. The author Rumiko Takahashi alongside some of her editors considers this their most favorite chapter of Urusei Yatsura.
If you hate Ataru then this chapter might change your mind... - Episode 34A The Case of the Battered Principal
Manga - Chapter 311 The Case of the Battered Principal
Original anime counterpart – NoneNote: This is the third story of the manga that was not adapted in the OG anime in any way until the Remake adapted it into anime for the first time.
- Episode 34B The Secret Flower Garden
Manga - Chapter 233 The Secret Flower Garden
Original anime counterpart - Epissode 135 I Hate Gossiping Flowers! - Episode 34C The Home Visit Blues: Hellish Moroboshi Edition
Manga - Chapter 298 The Home Visit Blues
Original anime counterpart – Episode 189 Deadly Home Visits! A Teacher's Life is Dangerous TooNote: Fourth part of The Home Visit Blues. There is only 1 more part left.
- Episode 35A L❤ve-Darling in Danger
Manga - Chapter 162 L❤ve-Darling in Danger
Original anime counterpart – Episode 77 Darling's Dying!? - Episode 35B Foxes of the Moonlit Night
Manga - Chapter 222 Foxes of the Moonlit Night
Original anime counterpart – Episode 134 I Dearly Want to Meet You! Return of the Pure Fox!!Note: The original anime version of this episode is simply better because of a beautiful insert song by Lum's voice actress Fumi Hirano.
- Episode 35C The Home Visit Blues: Onsen Mark Goes to Space
Manga - Chapter 298 The Home Visit Blues
Original anime counterpart – Episode 189 Deadly Home Visits! A Teacher's Life is Dangerous TooNote: Final part of The Home Visit Blues.
- Episode 36 Wretched Shutaro!
Manga – Chapter 178 Wretched Shutaro & Chapter 179 Frenzied Shutaro
Original anime counterpart – Episode 86 Outraged! Piteous Kid Shutaro!!Note: First episode of the 2nd cour of Season 2.
This is the 4th episode of Season 2 and the 7th episode of the Urusei Yatsura Remake overall which is full-length.
Also, this is the first full-length episode that only adapts 2 chapters. Because of this, the pacing was fantastic and the Remake could add some original scenes with Mendo's family. I liked that a lot. - Episode 37A Asuka Returns
Manga – Chapter 237-239 Asuka Returns, Part 1-3
Original anime counterpart – Episode 150 The Armored Girl Returns! Plenty of Older BrothersNote: The ending of this episode in the remake was more faithful than the original. For whatever reason, the original anime episode didn't adapt the final jokes of the manga which made it a worse adaptation.
- Episode 37B A Stormy Date: Part 1
Manga - Chapter 252 A Stormy Date, Part 1
Original anime counterpart – Episode 153 The Armored Girl Appears Again! A Storm Raising DateNote: It is insane to me that after Episode 36 which only adapted 2 chapters Episode 37 will be adapting 4. There will probably be some cuts.
- Episode 38 A Stormy Date: Part 2
Manga - Chapter 253-256 A Stormy Date, Part 2-5
Original anime counterpart – Episode 153 The Armored Girl Appears Again! A Storm Raising DateNote: Yes, A Stormy Date is a 5-chapter long arc which makes it one of the longest stories of Urusei Yatsura.
This is the 5th episode of Season 2 and the 8th episode of the Urusei Yatsura Remake overall which is full-length. This episode is also the 2nd part of a 2-parter similar to That Mizunokoji Girl episode.
Interestingly, the OG anime adapted all 5 chapters in one episode instead of making a 2-parter like the adaptation of That Mizunokoji Girl Part, 1-4 which was Asuka's introduction story. As a result, there were lots of cuts in the OG anime version of this episode. Let's see if the Remake version can be more faithful.
Either way, I don't understand the Asuka favoritism of the Remake. Somehow, a character like Asuka got 4 episodes while Lum's friends who are actually popular characters and are more important to the plot like Oyuki and Benten have yet to get any dedicated episodes in Season 2 (so far).
One possible explanation seems to be that some of Rumiko Takahashi's favorite moments from the manga are from Asuka episodes. And these episodes were adapted pretty poorly in the original anime.Edit- A lot of the jokes from Chapter 255 A Stormy Date, Part 4 did get cut which is a shame.
- Episode 39A Nagisa's Fianceé
Manga – Chapter 341-342 Nagisa's Fianceé, Part 1 & 2
Original anime counterpart – OVA5 Nagisa's FianceéNote: Many of the concepts and jokes shown in this story would later get recycled in Ranma 1/2. Namely, the arranged marriage plots and the character of Nagisa and his joke would be recycled into Tsubasa.
- Episode 39B The Fairy's Parasol
Manga - Chapter 299 The Haunted Parasol
Original anime counterpart – Episode 186 Dreaming Ten-chan! The Great Adventure at the End of the Rainbow!!Note: Kind of surprised they added another chapter with this episode. The OVA had adapted 2 chapters in 26 minutes so it had excellent pacing. Not sure the same will be the case in the Remake version.
- Episode 40A One Night's Battle
Manga – Chapter 349-350 One Night's Battle, Part 1 & 2
Original anime counterpart – NoneNote: This is the fourth story of the manga that was not adapted in the OG anime in any way until the Remake adapted it into anime for the first time.
This is the second and last Nagisa story. - Episode 40B Deadly Peril in the Classroom
Manga – Chapter 120 Deadly Peril in the Classroom
Original anime counterpart – Episode 56 We'll Risk Our Lives During Classtime!Note: I gotta say, I'm very disappointed with the chapter selection in Season 2 Part 2. This is the second Ten-focused episode since the last one. Not only does this character not need more screentime this late into the story (other characters should get it instead) but also if they had to give Ten more screentime, there were plenty of better chapters to pick from such as the ones with his potential love interest Mako or with his mother who is a firefighter and also only received a small cameo in one of The Home Visit Blues episodes.
- Episode 41 Flower Petals of Love and Courage
Manga – Chapter 346-348 Flower Petals of Love and Courage Part 1-3
Original anime counterpart – NoneNote: Finally, after 4 consecutive episodes with unwanted characters we're getting the second story with Inaba and Shinobu.
This is the 6th episode of Season 2 and the 9th episode of the Urusei Yatsura Remake overall which is full-length.
This is the fifth story of the manga that was not adapted in the OG anime in any way until the Remake adapted it into anime for the first time.
I wish the Remake focused more on these unadapted chapters. I wonder if we'll get more episodes of unadapted chapters or if this will be the last. I hope it's not since there are still lots of bangers left. - Episode 42A Lum's Wrath
Manga – Chapter 166 Lum's Wrath
Original anime counterpart – Episode 88 Enraged Lum-chan!Note: I don't understand why they're focusing on Jariten so much near the end of the series.
- Episode 42B Steal My Heart
Manga – Chapter 354 Steal My Heart
Original anime counterpart – OVA 9 Catch the Heart!Note: Welp, both of these stories were already adapted in the OG. I was kind of hoping that we'd get more unadapted chapters but oh well. Even if we weren't getting more Benten or Oyuki chapters I was hoping for adaptations of AtaLum chapters such as Chapter 320 Ultra-Colorful Couple's Look and Chapter 322 Darling's True Feelings.
Even among already adapted chapters they could've picked something like Chapter 353 I Howl at the Moon which was Ataru's counterpart of the Lum Becomes a Cow chapter, Chapter 183 A Night Alone where Ataru and Lum try to sleep together, or Chapter 217-219 Blue-White Flames of Anger Part 1-3.
I'm guessing this will be the last episode before the final arc starts in the remake.Edit- I was right.
- Episode 42 Post-credits scene
Manga – Chapter 320 Ultra-Colorful Couple's Look and Chapter 356 Boy Meets Girl, Act 1 - Pitch Black
Original anime counterpart – None and Urusei Yatsura Movie 5 The Final ChapterNote: The biggest surprise of Episode 42 was the post-credits scene. I knew that they'd probably tease the final arc at the end of this episode but I didn't think they'd also adapt Chapter 320 Ultra-Colorful Couple's Look. Sadly, it seems to be a partial adaptation. Who knows if the ending of the chapter will be adapted in the next episode. I highly doubt it but it's a shame cause the wholesome ending was the whole reason I wanted it in the remake.
Only the first couple pages of Chapter 356 Boy Meets Girl, Act 1 - Pitch Black was adapted in the post-credits scene. And there were some original scenes.Edit- They didn't adapt the rest of Chapter 320 Ultra-Colorful Couple's Look.
- Episode 43 Boy Meets Girl: The Morning of Farewell
Manga – Chapter 356 Boy Meets Girl, Act 1 - Pitch Black, Chapter 357 Boy Meets Girl, Act 2 - Will You Marry Me?, Chapter 358 Boy Meets Girl, Act 3 - Farewell Morning
Original anime counterpart – Urusei Yatsura Movie 5 The Final ChapterNote: Well, here comes the beginning of the end. Sadly, the ending of the Ultra-Colorful Couple's Look chapter was not adapted as I expected.
This is the 7th episode of Season 2 and the 10th episode of the Urusei Yatsura Remake overall which is full-length. - Episode 44 Boy Meets Girl: Are You Really Getting Married?
Manga – Chapter 359 Boy Meets Girl, Act 4 - Heart Ignition, Chapter 360 Boy Meets Girl, Act 5 - Labyrinth Reunion, Chapter 361 Boy Meets Girl, Act 6 - Are You Really Getting Married?
Original anime counterpart – Urusei Yatsura Movie 5 The Final ChapterNote: This is the 8th episode of Season 2 and the 11th episode of the Urusei Yatsura Remake overall which is full-length.
- Episode 45 Boy Meets Girl: Crooked Heart
Manga – Chapter 362 Boy Meets Girl, Act 7 - Crooked Heart, Chapter 363 Boy Meets Girl, Act 8 - Disaster, Chapter 364 Boy Meets Girl, Act 9 - Unstoppable
Original anime counterpart – Urusei Yatsura Movie 5 The Final ChapterNote: I hope this episode will adapt the next 3 chapters. If it only adapts 2, it will be a problem for the last episode. The last episode needs to be the adaption of only the last 2 chapters of the manga for excellent pacing and some potential anime original scenes. Besides, the last chapter is actually a few pages longer than regular Urusei Yatsura chapters. So, it needs the extra time. I also hope the ending song will be 'Uchuu wa Taihen da!'
This is the 9th episode of Season 2 and the 12th episode of the Urusei Yatsura Remake overall which is full-length. - Episode 46 Boy Meets Girl: I Want You When I Can't Have You
Manga – Chapter 365 Boy Meets Girl, Act 10 - I Want You When I Can't Have You, Chapter 366 Boy Meets Girl, Act 11 - Fin
Original anime counterpart – Urusei Yatsura Movie 5 The Final ChapterNote: This is the 10th episode of Season 2 and the 13th episode of the Urusei Yatsura Remake overall which is full-length.
Ngl, the ending was done very well. It surpassed my expectations. Not sure if I would rank it higher than the movie tho. And I still think the Remake ended prematurely. There are lots of great stories that it could've told in a third Season.
Season 2 adapted 63 chapters from the manga. Season 1 adapted 65. So, Urusei Yatsura Remake roughly adapted 128 out of 366 chapters of the manga in total. Which is almost 35% of the manga. The rest of it was not adapted. Bit higher than what I had expected. But still pretty low if you ask me. Mainly because many of the episodes felt rushed.
There were 6 stories in total that were adapted in the Remake but weren't in the original. 7 if you count the Miss Tomobiki contest episode which was poorly adapted in the OG. Overall, I think it was a huge missed opportunity to not adapt more manga-only chapters.
There were 10 full-length episodes in Season 2 and 13 full-length episodes in the series overall.
I guess it will be a while before we see more Urusei Yatsura. It's a legendary series that won't be forgotten anytime soon. Farewell for now.
If there are any errors then let me know and I will correct them.
Thank you for reading this.
