'''Urusei Yatsura: Always My Darling''' is the sixth and final movie in the continuity of the 1981 AnimatedAdaptation of ''Manga/UruseiYatsura''. It is a NonSerialMovie released in celebration of the series' 10th aniversary on August 18, 1991, and would subsequently be re-released as a double-feature with the first NonSerialMovie for ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' on November 2, 1991.

Lupica, the princess of a alien world far removed from Earth, is in love with Rio, a local tofu seller who has been the closest thing she's had to a friend since they were kids. Believing he doesn't return her feelings, she sets upon the idea of using the universe's most powerful love potion - but it's hidden in a temple and can supposedly only be accessed with the aid of the universe's most lecherous man. When her computer pinpoints Ataru as that man, she seduces him into helping her, only for Lum to interfere. When Lum accidentally causes Ataru to fall in love with Lupica, she tries everything to turn him back to normal.

!!This film contains examples of:
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Lum tries to use the LovePotion on Ataru. She succeeds... but he imprints on ''Lupica'', not Lum.
* ChildhoodFriends: Lupica and Rio became friends when they were both kids and her dad bought tofu from Rio's dad to help Lupica get better. They were each other's best friends, and fell head over heels for each other.
* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: As Benten irritably points out in the finale, Lupica and Rio have been in love all this time and they could have avoided this entire mess if they'd just ''talked to each other'', as opposed to Lupica leaping straight to the LovePotion.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Lum attempts to use the LovePotion on Ataru, and succeeds... in making him fall for a different girl.
* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: Gender-flipped. Rio is a NiceGuy... but also painfully aware that Lupica is a princess and he's just a tofu salesman. He doesn't have the courage to tell her how she feels because he feels the social gap is insurmountable.
* LadykillerInLove: Played for drama when Ataru is dosed with the LovePotion and falls head over heels... for ''Lupica'', who finds him repulsive and abandons him to pine endlessly for her.
* LovePotion: The central MacGuffin of the film is the universe's most powerful love potion.
* WisdomFromTheGutter: One of the reasons why Lupica needs "the universe's horniest guy" to find the LovePotion. One of the first major steps to finding it is in a room where a sexy female voice beckons listeners to cross what appears to be a bottomless pit. Lupica's underlings mock what seems to be an incredibly lazy trap, but Ataru goes charging off... and reveals previously invisible floating platforms that lead to the room where the LovePotion is concealed.
