* For all of the complaining that Mrs. Moroboshi does about being Ataru's mother, she welcomes Ryuunusuke with open arms as a surrogate daughter for a while in one episode where Ryuu gets a taste of (simple) home cooking and ends up crying in Mrs. Moroboshi's arms on the receiving end of a CoolDownHug (despite Ataru's attempts to intercept) after yet another fight with her dad shortly after dinner that same evening.

Literally the only thing new to the 2022 anime version is having Lum's mother instead of her father and Ataru being specifically shown to search places with a "history" for him and Lum.

* Episode 44 – ranked the best episode by Japanese viewers – has Ataru getting angry with Lum and telling her that she is constantly in the way and ruining things for him, and he tells her to "go home." Which she does… back to her home planet, the only remnant of her presence being a mini-Lum doll she made for him. Ataru then spends the next few days frantically searching for her, and actually cries when he realizes she's gone for good. Turns out Lum simply went to renew her passport to continue living on earth… and that doll had a microphone planted inside it, so she hears the whole confession. The next day, she returns, and the look of relief on Ataru's face is utterly adorable.
** The scene between Shinobu and Ataru in this same episode is also very heartwarmingly emotional. Ataru has called Shinobu out to the park to flirt and is going through his usual pick-up routine… but he has the Lum doll firmly lodged in his shirt pocket ('over his heart' so to speak). Shinobu simply looks at the doll after he is done being silly and asks if there is something she can do for him. Ataru gets melancholy and says no and thanks her for meeting with him. It's obvious to both of them who Ataru truly loves. However, Shinobu is serious when she asks him if he needs anything and Ataru is truly thankful she came to see him. While any romance between them is now out of the question, they are still good friends and still there for each other.

*** First, Mendo, among the others, willingly helps Ataru by lending him his bodyguards to look for Lum. He's as interested in Lum as the rest of the Stormtroopers, but he clearly sees how distressed Ataru is and wants to help his friend.
*** Ataru looks for Lum in every place holding some romantic significance for them both, such as the stadium where he ended up asking for her hand and the cafe where she had to go on a pretend date with him.
*** When Lum finally comes back, Ataru refuses to look at her in the eyes because he's too busy hiding his tears and claiming he wasn't that worried. Lum quickly spots the doll resting over his heart, smiling in adoration.
*** In both variants, Lum bugged the felt doll: while Lum's mother chastizes her daughter for toying with Ataru's feeling in the original, Lum's father asks her to shut the receiver down as Ataru's cries are too pitiful for him in the remake. Lum is overjoyed, but still hugs the receiver as she could lull Ataru to sleep.

** Earlier in that same episode, after Lum first creates her anti-gravity field to deal with the leaky roof, there's a blackout. Lum promptly lights a candle, and there is a simply ''beautiful'' scene of her and Ataru sitting quietly together, surrounded by the glowing reflections of that lone candle in the ever-shifting array of water-bubbles drifting all around them.

*** This really doesn't sell it enough. Ataru can visit alternate futures by walking through doors in a void thanks to Inaba. So long as the door can still be opened, that particular future is still possible. When Ataru learns that Lum left him because of how awful this future's version of him treated her, he not only beats up his alternate self, he rips the doorknob off that door and flings it into the void, making it impossible to open.

** In the OAV adaptation of the above, all the futures of Ataru, Lum, and Shinobu begin to get destroyed. They're unbothered until Ataru accidentally falls through a door and finds a future where he and Lum get married, the future Lum had been searching for the entire time. Once seeing how happy Lum is, Ataru does everything in his power to keep this future from being destroyed, something he notably ''didn't'' do for a future with his own harem. The doorknob leading to that future survives, and Inaba attaches it to a spare door, ensuring Lum's dream future is still possible.
