** The manga states that Ataru has ''the same vitality of a cockroach''. He may be a slacker, but when he's motivated he gets superhuman endurance and the ability to perform tasks that go beyond the human limits.

* Rei is by far the stupidest character in the series... But even he had a few moments of brilliance:
** In his second appearance Lum, knowing he's too stupid to string more than a couple words in a sentence, mockingly promised to get back with him if he managed to ask her with a long sentence. Cue Rei ''reading a request to cook for him''. Ataru and the Stormtroopers had to get her out of that self-inflicted mess...
** When Rei was visiting the school in his ox form, Mendo started insulting his looks, and declared there was no way he could have been Lum's ex boyfriend. Cue Rei turning back to his handsome normal looks, both to shut him up - and Mendo went into a crisis after seeing he was that much more handsome - and to charm the girls into giving him food.

** Also the defeated aliens were incredibly chill about it: they bore no ill will to the Human race, left their own princess to mingle with Humans and become Ataru's girlfriend and became good friends, if not outright allies, of humanity.

** [[HaremSeeker Ataru Moroboshi]] gets to see his dream future, where he has a harem made up of all the regular girls from the series that he hits on... except for Lum, who divorced him and left that very morning. As Ataru eavesdrops, he learns that this future Ataru got his harem by [[MoralEventHorizon selling all of Lum's clothing, forcing her to work like a slave, refusing to feed her, and making her sleep on the roof -- and he still blames Lum for leaving him]]. Hearing this ''[[EveryoneHasStandards incenses]]'' Ataru, who promptly [[WhatTheHellHero screams that his alternate self deserved it]] before laying him out cold with a HyperspaceMallet. Then he leaves the timeline and angrily rips the doorknob that created it from its door, hurling it into the void whilst declaring that a harem is pointless if it doesn't have Lum in it. It's somewhat undermined as, [[StatusQuoIsGod Ataru being Ataru]], he can't help but [[NeverMyFault try to justify his other self's actions]], but this rare glimpse at Ataru's HiddenDepths shows just why Lum might be attracted to him in the first place.

* Sakurambo proving he does have the spiritual powers he often brags about by creating a ribbon that seals Lum's electricity and flight away as long as it's tied to her horns, and that can be removed only by whoever tied it. And he made it in just a few hours after Ataru asked him for exactly that.

Altered the Inaba example because it doesn't accurately portray the story - destroying the doors isn't done deliberately by the heroes, for a start.


* In Inaba's debut arc we're shown that the future is fixed, and that Ataru is fated to marry Shinobu and Lum is fated to marry Rei (both to Lum's horror). It's fate, they can't do anything to stop it, right? Wrong. In the greatest instance of ScrewDestiny in Japanese animation, ''all'' the characters systematically destroyed the doors that kept destiny in place (with Ataru personally taking down the possible future where he had a harem [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments because Lum was not in it]]), until the future was not fixed anymore.
** Another for Ataru: after seeing that future and the Ataru in it was wondering why Lum left, he [[WhatTheHellHero called him out]] and beat some sense into him. This being Ataru he then started wondering if the harem seeker had a point, but it ultimately ended in the moment above-Ataru destroying the future where he had driven away Lum.

to:

* In Inaba's debut arc we're shown that story, animated as the future is fixed, third {{OAV}}, has a couple of notable moments.
** Firstly, when the angry rabbits who run the Destiny Production Management Bureau capture Inaba, Shinobu, Lum
and that Ataru is fated Ataru, Inaba tries to marry talk the rabbits into letting the others go safely, only for Shinobu to save them. This sequence is ''much'' better in the OAV version: Inaba is about to be boiled in oil, but [[FaceDeathWithDignity he merely quietly assures Shinobu that he is okay with this, because at least he tried to help her for helping him]]. Shinobu bursts into tears... which then gives way to her characteristic UnstoppableRage: she ''rips'' the cage she is trapped in open, then ''uproots a giant tree'' and Lum is fated tries to marry Rei (both crush the rabbits with it before grabbing Inaba and fleeing to safety.
** [[HaremSeeker Ataru Moroboshi]] gets to see his dream future, where he has a harem made up of all the regular girls from the series that he hits on... except for Lum, who divorced him and left that very morning.

** Toward's the story's climax, the angry rabbits of the Destiny Production Management Bureau start
destroying all of the potential futures currently available to Lum, Ataru and Shinobu. The teens couldn't care less at first... until Ataru accidentally falls through a door leading to a future where he and Lum get married. The same future that Lum had been searching for all story and whose apparent absence had driven away Lum.her to a combination of the DespairEventHorizon and RageBreakingPoint. Upon seeing how happy the future Lum is at their wedding, Ataru starts fighting tooth and nail to keep this one future alive, something he doesn't try to do for his own harem future.
** In the OAV's version of the ending, in an Awesome yet Heartwarming moment, Inaba discovers Lum's dream future doorknob -- the doorknob creating a future where she and Ataru get married and live happily ever after, which was lost before she could use it -- survived the chaos of the [=DPMB=] terminating all the doors. Inaba promptly attaches the doorknob to a spare door, thus ensuring that there is a chance for Lum to get her dream future.

* Ataru often asserts his CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass status by being able to grope any female in the series. Doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment, but at least three have SuperStrength, one [[ShockAndAwe shoots lightning]], another one [[AnIcePerson is a walking blizzard]] and one is a BadAss BareFistedMonk. Of particular note is how he managed to stop [[SuperStrength Benten]] and [[BareFistedMonk Ryunosuke]] from punching each other while AirJousting… with a towel and bathroom supplies… ''in the air''.
