Aired on March 24, 1982
In the first segment, consuming a lollipop from Lum and a bun Cherry planned to bury causes Ataru to divide into two distinct entities: one embodying his chivalrous and moral nature, and the other representing his impulsivity and lechery. In the second segment, Ataru falls asleep in class after repeatedly losing gambling matches to Lum the previous night. He finds himself trapped within a series of nightmares that persist until the dream lord Mujaki and his nightmare-devouring baku accomplice intervene to resolve the situation and free him from the dream state.
