We open at the school where it looks like word is getting out about something...

"HE'S A CHICKEN, I TELL YOU, A GIANT CHICKEN!"

Actually, it's about Osen and it might be time for him to retire. #UruseiYatsura

WOW! They flipped the Ataru asshole switch on HIGH for this episode!

So gonna show what the manga did so we have better context…

Up next, could this be adios to a teach? "Say Goodbye To Onsen?! Tearful Farewell Marathon!" #UruseiYatsura

Honestly, I don't know how this would've worked if this stuck to the manga. Considering how it diverged, neither did the creative staff as they realized how one note the yoga joke can possibly be and we got...this... #UruseiYatsura

Cherry and the Ghost Cat, realizing the minute Ataru wakes up is gonna pound 'em, take the time to run as...Ataru gets fatter due to starving on a spiritual island? #UruseiYatsura

I don't know much about cards, but I know aces are usually on high, so...

Whatever, let's finish this. Everybody but Ataru gets their dream world and are at peace. Ataru...well, one asshole's an island. #UruseiYatsura

So, Ataru wins it all, everybody's spirits are pissed as Ataru goes to his final location, the dream island...but then they all find ONE card that might stop him thus it's time to d-d-d-d-d-d-duel again! Ataru has an Ace...but they got the Joker!

...uh...hold up... #UruseiYatsura

Yeah, turns out Ataru is the evil old witch in Shinobu's Snow White fantasy...and of course, he wins the duel...which calls for him to poison her...wha? #UruseiYatsura

Now for Shinobu's island which is...

#UruseiYatsura

Onto Lum's island where Lum's dream is, of course, the house, and...three Ten's...

That's my Hell right there.

The real Ataru shows up and beats Lum's hand. Oh, I hope there's a special place in Yoga Hell for this guy. #UruseiYatsura

Next island, Mendou and Lum getting married...then Ataru pops up as the priest. And Ataru has the highest card. Turns out greed can be very strong. #UruseiYatsura

So...everybody's in some sort of mind version of The Game of Life and...well...it's the game of Life, only the wheel sends you to you to your dream island an highest card wins...

So, first island, Sakura Vs. Ataru as Sakura was ready to bail...only Ataru has the higher card. #UruseiYatsura

"I feel as if I'm flying..."

So folks two things:
1. The basis for this episode is from the early manga chapters. Like around Volume 5.

2. After this episode UY went on a month long hiatus in Japan!

After realizing DIY(oga) might be a bad idea (And not wanting to waste 1000 Yen), they cave and Cherry starts teaching group Yoga. Let's start with...playing a balancing act as he orders everybody to be stacked on top of each other. #UruseiYatsura

Well, turns out Cherry just wanted to dump the dudes to teach the ladies...

*WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*

...so instead they went by a book. Shinobu is currently in great pain...and...

...I don't...wanna know... #UruseiYatsura

Oh, and Cherry here, too..as the instructor...the recycled animation says nobody likes it...but the monthly membership has one rule: No refunds." #UruseiYatsura

Always,
You are watching me, I am watching you.
How'd you like to have a pounding heart?
Gentlemen, I'm Sorry.
It's too bad you're overstimulated.

Here we are the final season of classic #UruseiYatsura but it's not the end of Ataru and Lum's adventures!

(Sees Sakura and Shinobu beat up Ataru) I'm liking this class already. #UruseiYatsura
