Ataru is kidnapped by men dressed in black and escorted to his house where he meets an Oni named Mr. Invader, who comes from beyond the Galaxy to take over Earth. One of the men in black explains to Ataru that he has been randomly selected from Earth's population to duel against the alien: winning the duel is the only chance to stop the alien invasion. Ataru refuses despite the man in black is begging him to save the Earth. Suddenly, a giant spaceship appears and a lightning hits Moroboshi’s house. A sexy girl named Lum appears after the flash: she’s going to be Ataru's opponent. Mr. Invader says that Ataru would win if he can grab Lum by her horns. Excited by the opportunity to touch her, Ataru changes his mind and agrees to take part in the duel. Lum says she is not easy to catch though. The next day, Ataru and Lum are both going to play a game of tag. When the game starts, Ataru tries to grab Lum’s body but he fails as Lum can fly. Ataru is about to catch Lum during multiple attempts but he fails every time. Later on, TV news informs its viewers there is only one more day left to catch Lum; if Ataru fails he and his family will be lynched. Later that night, Shinobu says to Ataru that she would marry him if he wins. On the final day, Ataru uses a suction cup gun to get Lum's bra. While Lum is trying to get her bra back, Ataru grabs her by the horns. Ataru's delighted that this means he can finally marry Shinobu, but Lum, misunderstanding his claim, thinks Ataru wants to marry her instead, angering Shinobu.

Differences from the Manga

 * Ataru receives a slap from Shinobu instead of being hit by a baseball at the beginning of the episode.


 * The military aren't involved.


 * Cherry pops up a lot more often and reveals his name already


 * Ataru has a longer string of failures in managing to grab Lum's horns, until on the eighth day he accidentally snags her bikini top.


 * She comes to his house that evening to demand it back; the next day, her maneuverability is reduced by her arms crossed over her chest, but not enough for Ataru to succeed.


 * The final day, Shinobu shouts out that she'll marry Ataru if he wins, and that gives him the motivation to lure Lum in with her top and then grab her. In the anime though, in the final day, Ataru snatches Lum's upper outfit by using a gun and manages to grab her horns as she tries to get her outfit back.
