I've been obsessed with Urusei Yatsura since before I even realized I could read. Before I even knew the difference between myself and others, before my sense of self had taken shape, even before I recognized the structure of the real world surrounding me, I started living in the world of Urusei Yatsura. That's why even now, high school boys fly in formation above my head, shouting "Blue Impulse!"  Explosions always sound like "chudon"! And when something explodes with a loud sound, and someone is blown away, they go flying with their hands having only the index and middle fingers extended. When women hit it off, they punch each other and say, "You're a good girl!" The bathtub makes loud noises, people eat baseballs, Mr. Vase eats the flowers, and the octopi attack. If I were there, cherry blossom viewing would be held, the chest of my armor would say "maiden", the back of my school uniform would say "man", my chain would be my house key, and my eyes would go crazy during Setsubun. I love the sea! If there's a cat on the stairs, or if there's a cute girl, I'll show off my extraordinary physical abilities, pick her up quickly, seduce her, and never give up, no matter how hard she hits me or what she does to me. No matter how many times I naughtily approach her, I can never be honest with that one girl in this vast universe, and I can never say that I love her, but I will definitely be with her for the rest of my life. If so, that's my darling. I just can't make Oyuki-chan angry. That's the world I live in. That's me. ...In other words, for me, there was no way, not even slightly, not even for a moment, that Urusei was "something foreign beyond my reckoning."
