Ryoko's into weird shit. Totally not surprising. But still, voodoo or witchcraft is still a very strange and potentially dangerous "hobby" for a middle schooler.
It's almost cool to see a bromance type of relationship between Ataru and Mendo.
Did Lum forget what sticking out tongue taunt is? Pretty sure she did that to Rei before.
So in the manga the English text Onsen Mark was reading out was actually just dialogue between Ryu and her dad. It's funny how in the 2022 anime they changed it to a synopsis of Ranma 1/2. Ryunosuke can be considered proto-Ranma after all.
