Ep. 38: Lum attempts to create copies of Ataru to shield him from Ran's wrath
Aired on August 4, 1982
Lum decides to generate multiple duplicates of Ataru with the specific intention of protecting him from Ran's vengeance. She believes that having several versions of him will help divert Ran's anger away from the original. However, the execution of this plan leads to disastrous results. The attempt to safeguard Ataru through duplication ultimately backfires, causing significant complications and chaos rather than providing the intended security. The situation escalates as the copies interact with the existing characters, leading to unforeseen and problematic outcomes that disrupt the status quo.
