In the first segment, Lum, Ataru, and their friends visit a disco where trouble arises after Sakura’s boyfriend Tsubame begins showing off his magical powers. The second story follows Kurama, who transports Ataru to a fictionalized version of feudal Japan. Her goal is to reform Ataru’s lecherous behavior by forcing him to emulate her father. She views her father as an aloof and chivalrous ideal man, hoping this historical setting will help Ataru adopt similar noble traits and improve his character through this desperate attempt at personality remodeling.
