The characters featured in the comic book were Tenchi, Ryoko, Ayeka, Sasami, Ryo-Ohki, Mihoshi, Washu, Yosho, and Noboyuki. Notice that Kiyone was not in the original cast. The name of the comic books was No Need for Tenchi. </div> <div> The first six episodes were released in Japan and were such a big hit that a second series, episodes 7-13 were released. And after that the Mihoshi Special. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Ryoko Resurrected</B><B> </B></div> <div> This is the first episode in the Tenchi Muyo Series. We are introduced to Tenchi, a teenage boy with a curious mind. Nearby to Tenchi's house is a cave, which has always been off limits to Tenchi by his grandfather. Tenchi is introduced searching through his grandfather's things in search of the keys to the lock on the cave. His grandfather tells him that if he can take the keys from him he can enter the cave. Tenchi tries...and fails...or does he? Tenchi mysteriously ends up with the keys in his mouth and rushes off to enter the cave. When he enters the cave he finds the legendary "Sword That Can Cut Through a Rock" which is said to bind the demon. He withdraws the sword from its scabbard and discovers that it's rusted. In frustration be bangs it on a nearby rock (With runes on it) and the rock splits in half which opens a nearby passage. The passage consists of a long chute which Tenchi slides down. Where he discovers a sleeping demon. At least he thought that it was sleeping. The creature touches him but is stopped by the hilt of the sword that Tenchi is still holding. He naturally runs for his life up the chute in a dash that would make even the most practiced Olympic athletes jealous. </div> <div> The adventure continues a few months later in school where he's brought the hilt as sort of a souvenir of his adventures. After falling asleep on the roof during his lunch break he wakes up that night to the sound of a bell. When he awakens, he finds his kitten up on the roof with him. The kitten runs up to him and disappears. Behind him perched up on a higher roof is a woman with spiked blue hair and amber eyes. She merely says "Ryoko". </div> <div> Ryoko begins to blame Tenchi for her 700-year entombment in the cave. After fleeing from Ryoko for some time during which he figures out that the source of her powers comes from a red gem that is located in her right wrist. She attempts to finish him off, However her deathblow was blocked by the hilt of the sword, which floats in midair in front of Tenchi. The sword causes Tenchi to fight the demon and with a little luck he manages to cut off her hand, destroying the gem in the process. Tenchi apologizes to her for cutting off her wrist but she says that it's ok and grows it back right in front of him. She then sinks into the earth and Tenchi goes home. When he gets home, he sits on his bed and discovers that it's a little lumpy. Pulling back the covers in horror he finds Ryoko. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Here Comes Ayeka</B><B> </B></div> <div> The second episode begins in space where a young girl comes out of stasis. This is Ayeka, she has been on a quest for her "brother" Yosho to whom she is engaged to marry (I don't quite understand this relationship, but just bear with me.) Her ship comes into orbit with earth and she begins her search for him. This was his last known location, he came to Earth to fight Ryoko. After discovering that the time limit has just expired on the crimes Ryoko has committed she decides to capture Ryoko to learn the location of Yosho. </div> <div> Meanwhile back on earth Ryoko springs out of the bed and says "Now I'll take your balls please" meaning the Three gems embedded in Tenchi's sword. Ryoko explains that without the gems on the sword she can't control Ryo-Ohki, who she explains as the other demon in the legend. At that moment Ayeka's ship hovers above Tenchi's house and she demands that Ryoko come out. When Ryoko doesn't come out she orders that a warning shot be fired nearby. This "Warning Shot" blows out all the windows in Tenchi's house. After this Tenchi agrees to give the gems back to Ryoko, but he's not stupid so he only gives her one. However, this is enough to summon Ryo-Ohki, which is a spaceship, which promptly whisks them away. Along with Tenchi's house because Ryoko didn't want anything to happen to it. After a short battle, Ayeka manages to capture Ryoko and Tenchi. </div> <div> Ayeka begins to interrogate Ryoko but the more that she tortures her the more she seems to enjoy it, until she touches her with the sword. Tenchi awakens inside a series of vines that don't allow him to escape, these vines act as the ship's jail. Tenchi pulls out a small pocketknife and begins to cut his way through when a voice asks him "What are you doing?". When Tenchi looks up the is a little girl that appears to be about 10 years old. She asks Tenchi if he'll play a game with her and releases him with a key that looks a lot like Tenchi's sword. At this point Tenchi realizes that the sword is gone and agrees to play a game with the little girl who introduces herself as Sasami. </div> <div> Tenchi finds himself outside Sasami's sister's room where she tells him that all he has to do is steal the headpiece from Ayeka. He sneaks into her room and sees that she's wearing the headpiece to bed. She also is sleeping with his sword, which he attempts to steal, which wakes her up. Before Tenchi has a chance to explain he finds himself being chased by Ayeka's Guardians Azaka and Kamidake (Which I affectionately refer to as Washer/Dryer.) After Tenchi escapes with Sasami he finds himself back in the jail with Ryoko who asks him to let her out. He says that he can't but when he walks up to the cage the sword glows and the vines part. Ayeka arrives and attempts to recapture Ryoko and Tenchi but once again the sword glows and the vines which she was using to capture Ryoko ensnared her guardians instead. After this Ryoko and Tenchi teleport to Ryo-Ohki which is still connected to Ayeka's ship Ryu-Oh. Ryoko, being Ryoko decides not to let Ayeka keep flying around in space and pulls her ship as well as her own out of orbit smashing it into a bridge. Both ships land near Ryoko's cave near where Tenchi's grandfather's shrine is. And the house spends the rest of the series here. Ayeka's attempts to rescue her ship fail as she watches her ship sink beneath the lake. </div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Hello Ryo-Ohki</U></B><B><U> </U></B></div> <div> The third episode begins with a young Ayeka in a field of flowers. She is approached by Yosho, her groom to be. Ayeka offers him a circlet made from some of the flowers that she has picked. Ayeka holds a dark purple flower up to Yosho's eyes and points out that it is the same color as his eyes. Yosho tells her that the flower is a royal teardrop and it is not to be used for "Happy Occasions". The next scene Ayeka is running through darkness towards Yosho and as he turns to face her he turns into Tenchi and tells her that Yosho is dead, in the same manner as he told her in the first place in episode 2. </div> <div> Ayeka wakes up suddenly and looks out the window at the sunrise. She denies Yosho's death and suddenly spots Ryoko walking out onto the lake, nope no bridge or anything just kinda strolling across the water. Ryoko sinks beneath the water and finds something within the wreckage of Ryu-Oh, Ayeka's ship. Next Sasami is trying to persuade Ayeka to come downstairs which she hasn't done since she crashed. When Ayeka comes downstairs Ryoko is sitting on the couch holding some egg-shaped, smooth stone. When Sasami asks her about it, she tells her that it's her child, the child that she had with Tenchi. Ayeka, angered by the fact that Tenchi is Ryoko's lover and that she has a crush on him, attempts to leave the room. On the way out she runs into Tenchi. He tries to comfort her but she is upset so she doesn't listen to him. She slaps him and runs out the door where she bumps into Tenchi's Grandfather and looks deep within his eyes, she notices their color is the same as Yosho's but dismisses it as coincidence and runs off. </div> <div> Back in the house the egg that Ryoko salvaged from Ryu-Oh starts to hatch. When it does a cute little Rabbit/Catlike creature comes out. Ryoko tells everyone that it is Ryo-Ohki which Tenchi recognizes as the name of her spaceship that crashed. She tells them that since the first Ryo-Ohki was damaged so badly in the crash that it use its remaining to be reborn as this egg. As Ryoko walks away she bumps into Tenchi's grandfather who catches her and his hands land on her chest. He says something, and takes a quick squeeze. She turns to punch him but he catches her fist. At first she's angry but then she can't figure out how he did that. Just then everyone looks outside where Ayeka is staring out on the lake where parts of Ryu-Oh can still be seen sticking out of the water. Sasami and Tenchi watch as Ryo-Ohki goes out through the door to comfort her. Just then there's a loud crash as Ryoko demolishes the staircase still stunned by what just happened. </div> <div> Ryo-Ohki goes out to comfort Ayeka which, doesn't want anything to do with the little animal. She walks away from it but it follows her away. She finally turns around and tries to scare it away by yelling at it. Ryo-Ohki bolts and hides behind some nearby flowers which Ayeka recognizes as Royal Teardrops. Ayeka begins to tell Ryo-Ohki about her problems. After a little while Ryo-Ohki gets up and persuades Ayeka to follow her. Ryo-Ohki leads Ayeka to a clearing where Tenchi is practicing swordplay with his grandfather. She recognizes his technique as that of Jurai. But suddenly falls down the hill she'd been standing on. Tenchi stops fighting to see what it was when he gets bonked by his grandfather which is standing in with his sword going under his leg to strike his grandson. When Tenchi asks him if that was part of the technique he says "Ah...No". Tenchi and his grandfather rush over to see if Ayeka's alright when they find her they discover that she has a sprained ankle...What else could it be, and cannot walk. Grandfather orders that Tenchi carry Ayeka back to the house. </div> <div> On the way back it starts to rain and Tenchi and Ayeka find shelter in a nearby storage shed. Once inside Tenchi begins to remove his wet clothes but he realizes that Ayeka is embarrassed so he waits outside. She removes some of her clothes and sits by the fire that Tenchi built before he went outside. While sitting alone in the dark something jumps into her lap and she screams. Tenchi rushes in to see what happened and finds out that it was Ryo-Ohki. As Tenchi goes back outside Ayeka asks him to stay. After talking Ayeka discovers that Tenchi is not Ryoko's lover and is relieved. Tenchi discovers that Ryo-Ohki has found something in the shed. It is a carrot, which Tenchi gives to her. Ryo-Ohki's first carrot is like a child's first steps. </div> <div> The next day after the rain has stopped, they head out to return to the house with Ryo-Ohki carrying a bunch of carrots on her back. On the way back, Tenchi offers to take Ayeka to Ryoko's cave in hopes that there might be some clue as to what happened to Yosho. Ayeka suddenly asks about a large tree that towers above all the other trees in the canopy below. Tenchi tells her that tree is the Holy Tree of Masaki Shrine and he takes here there. When they get there Ayeka discovers that the tree is Funaho which is Yosho's spaceship tree. Using the master key, Tenchi's Sword, she unlocks the last memories the tree had before it crashed. the images involve Ryoko's battle with Yosho when he imprisoned her and how he used the master key to absorb the gems into it. At this point Ayeka realizes that the sword will be much more useful to Tenchi because she can't use it. After the show is over Sasami show up with Ryoko. Ryoko sees the sword in Tenchi's hand which she's been looking for the entire episode and congratulated him on taking the sword from her. When Ayeka tells her that she gave him the sword Ryoko rushes off and they all have to walk home. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Mihoshi Falls to the Land of Stars</B><B> </B></div> <div> The fourth episode in this series begins with a battle in space. The galaxy police vs. Soja (Kagato's battleship). All the galaxy police force in the battle are destroyed. Mihoshi, a bubble headed blonde, is introduced. She is ordered to report to the solar system and investigate Kagato. She is ordered NOT to engage him just to report on him. Mihoshi, as usual, not getting the point decides that she is going to bring him to justice in her ship Yukinojyo. </div> <div> Back on Earth, Tenchi and his father have gone to their annual vacation to the hot springs in the mountains. They have brought Ryoko, Ayeka, and Sasami along as well. Ryoko takes Tenchi up to the girls' bath where Ryoko embarrasses Ayeka by pulling off her towel. A fight between Ayeka begins. Ayeka displays her power to create and control weaker versions of her guardians. They work together to discharge blasts of energy to attack. Ryoko decides to live up to her name (Ryoko, Japanese for "Devil Caller") summons a minor demon to attack Ayeka. The demon does not obey her commands however. Ryoko forgot that she needs a gem in her right wrist to control the demon that she summoned. The gem that Tenchi gave her (In her left wrist) only allows her to summon demons. Ayeka and Ryoko run away from the demon while Tenchi gets his sword. The battle between Tenchi and the demon causes a vortex to form pulling Mihoshi's ship out of orbit and the demon into it. Swirling in the tornado being caused by the vortex as it pulls everything in Tenchi catches a strange girl. The vortex ends and Tenchi and Mihoshi fall to earth. </div> <div> The next scene begins in a room where Mihoshi awakens surrounded by strangers. Mihoshi's identity is quickly given by her Galaxy Police watch that indicates the presence of a most dangerous space pirate nearby. Mihoshi faints when she learns that she is standing face to face with Ryo-Ohki, possibly one of the cutest most wanted space pirates I've ever seen. </div> <div> That night everyone is asleep in their beds when Sasami has a nightmare. This nightmare involves a sinister looking man and Sasami calling out for help from Tsunami. She wakes up from her nightmare and goes outside where she sees Ryo-Ohki looking up at the moon. The silhouette of Soja, the in the beginning of this episode, crossing the moon. Ryoko, who was sleeping on the roof also sees this. Aboard this ship is the sinister looking man which was seen in Sasami's nightmare. His scans indicate that Ayeka, Sasami, and Yosho are on the planet below and he says that Ryoko has finally given him what he wants. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Kagato Attacks!</B><B> </B></div> <div> Episode 5 begins with Ryoko drinking saki lying in a domed hot spring near Tenchi's house that I have no idea where it came from. Ayeka walks in and is coersed into drinking saki with Ryoko. After reliving memories...a large green sphere hovers down into the bath (No it isn't the good witch of the North) and a sinister looking man comes out. Kagato quickly subdues Ryoko. Mihoshi who finds the person she is lookin for follows him outside where he's floating in front of a large tree. After being told by Mihoshi to come out Kagato emerges and discards Ryoko. After discovering that Tenchi has the sword, he decides to see if Tenchi is the rightful owner. Kagato completely humiliates Tenchi the tries to take the sword, which flies away to the shore. Standing there is Tenchi's grandfather. Tenchi's grandfather easily defeats Kagato but wasn't paying attention to Ryoko who is being controlled by Kagato. Katsuhito (Tenchi's grandfather) defeats Ryoko who gets her wrist cut off again. Kagato returns to Soja (his ship) and invites Tenchi and the others to come to fight him. At this point Ayeka realizes that Tenchi's grandfather is her long lost Yosho and he tells her that he's to old for her. Yosho went to earth to fight Ryoko never to return because of the unrest about a new law passed on Jurai that they were to mix with blood from other planets. Yosho was not well liked because his mother, Funaho, was from Earth. </div> <div> At this point they realize that they don't have a ship. And Ryo-Ohki runs off toward the lake where Ayeka's ship Ryo-Oh crashed. Ryo-Ohki lifts Ayeka's ship from the bottom of the lake using psychokinisis (moving objects with one's mind). Then she turns into a spaceship. This is the first time that they learn that this cute little cabbit that they've been carrying around is a spaceship. So they all go off to fight Kagato. Once they engage Kagato they all realize that none of them knows how to use Ryo-Ohki's weapon systems. Ayeka decides to use her ships Offensive/Defensive systems "The Lighthawk Wings". Tenchi raises the Lighthawk Wings and Kagato decides to fire a blast that is so powerful that it punches right through them and destroys Ryo-Oh. Ryoko, who is being held captive on Soja, escapes and goes to find Tenchi among the wreckage of Ryo-Oh. Ryoko only finds the bandana that he was wearing covered with blood. Her screams echo through space as she declares that she will make Kagato PAY!!! </div> <bR> <div> <B>We Need Tenchi</B><B> </B></div> <div> This episode begins with Ryoko drifting among the remains of Ryo-Oh. As she's sitting there Ryo-Ohki floats by. She teleports to the ship where she tells Ayeka and the others that Tenchi is dead. They use Ryo-Ohki and punch through Soja's shield. </div> <div> In the next scene Sasami is seen running through a forest. She stops in front of a large tree. She begins chanting a spell and disappears into the tree. As the camera pulls away there is a glowing orb. When the camera gets closer it is Azaka and Kamidake forming a shield around Tenchi keeping him alive. Unfortunately, Tenchi's legs were obliterated during the destruction of Ryu-Oh. If you look closely at the shield around Tenchi you'll notice that there isn't enough room for his legs. A strange woman appears and looks into the shield. She then enters his body and the whole thing disappears. </div> <div> Once aboard they easily find Kagato who leads them to him. Mihoshi naturally gets lost and ends up as a reflection in the floor. Ryoko and Ayeka find Kagato in his cathedral. Ayeka charges Kagato but is blocked by the shield around the cathedral. While Kagato is dealing with Ayeka Ryoko teleports behind him and stabs him through the chest. He disappears and she realizes that it was his shadow. Kagato turns Ryoko to stone then begins to extract the secrets of Jurai from Ayeka. </div> <div> Mihoshi is wandering around the other part of the ship when she walks into a room and activates a trap. Two huge cobras attack her and she blasts them with her gun. While the cobras are recovering from being encased in ice small cracks begin to appear on a seal behind Mihoshi. Encased in this seal is a red haired woman in a giant crystal. The snakes continue to attack her until the seal finally breaks and the snakes are frozen in place. The red haired woman shatters the two snakes and introduces herself as Washu. Washu pulls Ryoko, who is turned to stone out of the ground and turns her back to flesh. Washu tells Ryoko and Mihoshi that she created Ryo-Ohki, The Soja, and used her ova to make Ryoko which makes her more Ryoko's mother rather than her creator. She tells Ryoko that she knows everything that she knows including how she feels about Tenchi because they are linked telepathically. Ryoko teleports back to the other side of the ship to go avenge Tenchi. Washu desperately tries to explain why they can't get back to the other side of the ship but she doesn't get it (As usual). </div> <div> The next scene is inside a ship of Jurai. Tenchi is there with a strange girl that tells him that she is Tsunami the flagship of Jurai. Tenchi's body has been completely regenerated and is glowing. The sign of the lighthawk wings is visible on his forehead. She tells him that the owner of the ship is Sasami, and that she can't accompany him when he goes to Soja to fight Kagato. </div> <div> Ayeka is floating in a blackness when she is approached by her long lost Yosho who asks her to share the secrets of Tsunami. After realizing that it is not Yosho she refuses to help him and he begins to unravel her body. Suddenly the scene ends as Kagato is expelled from Ayeka's mind. Ryoko shows up and a battle begins between them. As the battle is happening, Washu who has made detailed diagrams in an attempt to explain to Mihoshi why they can't return to the other side of the ship. Mihoshi still doesn't get it. Washu and Mihoshi begin watching the battle between Kagato and Ryoko, but Washu can't figure out why Ryoko isn't using her full power. After a short time she realizes that if she did she'd kill Ayeka, which goes to show that she really doesn't hate her. Washu pulls Ayeka to the mirror realm to protect her from Kagato who won't follow her there. As revenge Kagato points his ship at Earth and fires another blast that destroyed Ryu-Oh. Just before the blast hits Earth a large Jurian ship which absorbs the blast. The ship disappears and reappears in front of Soja and released a volley of missiles that hit Soja. This ship is identified as Tsunami the most powerful ship that Jurai has. </div> <div> Kagato invites the ship to come to him. Ryoko tries to fight Kagato again but falls to the ground as Soja begins to drain the power from the gems from her. Ryoko begins to die from this. Kagato picks up Ryoko and begins to taunt her. Just then his hand is sliced off and Tenchi is standing there. Tenchi begins to fight Kagato but he is too powerful for him. Kagato begins to use the gems that he created for Soja to absorb Tsunami. Tenchi regretfully says that he's sorry for failing in his mission. Tsunami tells him that the power to defeat Kagato lies within him. </div> <div> Tenchi suddenly stand up which catches Kagato's attention. He tosses the sword aside and Kagato laughs that he's given up. He turns and gives him a good bye line. He blasts and the explosion engulfs Tenchi. After the smoke clears Tenchi is still standing there surrounded by three curved beams of light which protected him from the blast. Two of them form armor for him and the third form a sword. These are the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#111111" FACE="Arial" >Lighthawk wings</FONT>. Tenchi deflects another laser fired by Kagato with his last Lighthawk wing. Kagato send out a series of crystals which are quickly destroyed by Tenchi. As the smoke clears Tenchi sees Kagato charging him and he does on of those dramatic slashes that you can see in any good anime. The wound inflicted by Kagato on Tenchi's armor quickly loses. And Kagato fades out of existence. </div> <div> After the battle Ryoko decides that she will be the first to hug Tenchi. Just then the others that were trapped on the other side reappear. Ryoko quickly trips Ayeka and Mihoshi. When she turns to face Tenchi she sees that Ryo-Ohki has already beaten her to Tenchi. She grabs her and yells at her. She turns again to hug Tenchi but Washu is already there and asks if Tenchi would like to be a guinea pig for her experiments. She pulls Washu aside and turns again to hug Tenchi but Sasami is already there. Next everyone but Ryoko is hugging Tenchi. When suddenly there is a loud crash. Tenchi hit Kagato with so much power that he not only split Kagato in half but the entire ship. Everyone escapes while Soja explodes. </div> <bR> <div> <B>The Night Before The Carnival</B></div> <div> This episode was a special episode released after the seven listed above. It begins on a sunny day Tenchi is seen waking up when he sits up he sees Ryoko's head floating there with her body phased into subspace. Her eyes are bloodshot because she's been up all night watching him. Tenchi leaves his room with Ryoko following quickly behind. He goes to a room and says that he needs his privacy. When Ryoko asks him why he points to a sign on the door which says "Restroom". Tenchi goes into the bathroom alone but when he sits down on the toilet Ryoko's head is there looking through the wall. Next Ryoko can been seen scratching at the door like a dog trying to get out of the rain. While Tenchi is changing in the bathroom he sees the ring which Tsunami gave him on his finger. When he goes to take it off he activates it and changes into his battle gear. A small seed falls out of his clothes and he picks it up. Ayeka is walking by while Ryoko is scratching at the door, but the two just stare at each other. The door Ryoko is leaning against is suddenly opened and Ryoko falls in while Tenchi comes out. He goes up to Ayeka and hands her the seed. The seed is Ryu-Oh's. With this seed Ayeka can revive Ryu-Oh in time. </div> <div> The next scene is in Washu's subspace lab. Ayeka comes in asking if there's something that she can build for Ryu-Oh's seed. At first Washu is angry and refuses to help because she insists that she be called Little Washu (Washu-chan in Japanese). After Ayeka breaks down and calls her Littler Washu she says that she'll help her. Washu hands her a flower pot which Ayeka quickly smashes over her head. Meanwhile outside Washu's lab Mihoshi and Sasami are reading comics for girls which belong to Tenchi's father...but that's his business. Ryoko wakes up wondering what all the fuss is about and Sasami tells her that they're reading how to get guys Earth style. Ryoko realizes that these comics might give her a hint on how to get Tenchi and begins reading. Back inside Washu's lab she opens a portal to subspace and takes out a shell which looks much like Ryu-Oh's. Washu tells her that Kagato made it to keep Tsunami in and it should be perfect for Ryu-Oh. </div> <div> Tenchi is in the field farming carrots when Ryo-Ohki shows up Tenchi tells her that "All these carrots are just for you." Ryo-Ohki becomes excited and begins digging into the ground but Tenchi tells her that they're not ready yet. After that Tenchi goes home and when he comes into the house, Sasami is making lunch. She asks if he'll go get everyone. First he goes into Washu's lab. When he gets there he asks where's Ayeka. She tells him that she's planting carrots...or something. Ryo-Ohki quickly runs away. Washu decides to she needs Tenchi for a few experiments when suddenly a large contraption comes up behind him and ties him up. </div> <div> Ayeka is gently planting Ryu-Oh in the unit. When she goes to get some water she finds Ryo-Ohki digging up the seed. She screams at Ryu-Ohki "This is not a Carrot!" Back in Washu's lab Tenchi is being held in an uncomfortable position. Washu says that she needs just one more sample. She puts on a nurse's uniform and tells him that she needs a sperm sample. When she's just about to use her "Magic Fingers" Mihoshi comes up behind her and asks what's she's doing. Washu can't figure out how she just stumbled into her subspace lab. Mihoshi leans on a console and little Ryo-Ohki and Ryoko dolls begin to pop out. </div> <div> In the next scene Tenchi is outside sweeping and Ryoko closes the book she's reading. She walks up behind Tenchi and kicks him over. When he starts to help her up, she tells him that her name is Ryoko. And in the middle of her dramatic moment scripted directly from the comic book Mihoshi shows up and asks why Ryoko's face is red. Ryoko tries to send her away but she's worried about her and takes her away to treat her illness. As Mihoshi drags Ryoko up the stairs Ayeka and Sasami are standing there listening. Sasami tells her sister that Ryoko has been reading Nobuyuki's books. The next scene Ayeka is there reading books. Tenchi is on his way up the hill to his grandfather's shrine when he stumbles and falls. Ayeka comes rushing up and gives him her handkerchief. As she leaves she tells him that her name is Ayeka. Tenchi confused pulls his foot up and there's a rope tied around it. At the top of the hill Tenchi and his grandfather are working, when Tenchi's grandfather asks him what the girls are up to? They look over and the two are trying poorly to hide behind Azaka and Kamidake. They quickly leave after being spotted. </div> <div> Back to the house Ayeka and Ryoko are looking for new ideas. Ayeka bribes Ryo-Ohki with the promise of carrots if she delivers a letter to Tenchi. She hurries to the top of the shrine. While Ryoko decides that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. When Ryo-Ohki samples the food Ryoko has made she passes out. </div> <div> After many failed attempts to get Tenchi on their own, Ryoko and Ayeka decide to team up. Ryoko, pretending to be Mihoshi's superior officer, calls up Mihoshi and orders her to report back to GP Headquarters. While Ayeka sets up a forcefield at Washu's door. After the two have successfully eliminated all rivals, Ryoko turns on Ayeka and ties her up. Ryoko sneaks up the stairs and just when she's opening the door she's whisked away into the middle of the lake by a small guardian placed above the door. Ryoko storms into the house where she finds Ayeka untying herself. The two begin to fight. </div> <div> Sasami is walking in complete darkness when suddenly she falls through and hits her head. After falling some distance Sasami is seen lying in a pool of her own blood. Tenchi appears and reaches out a hand to help her. But just before they touch, a large hands grabs him. Sasami sees a strange woman, which later turns out to be Tokimi, and wakes up crying. </div> <div> Back in the hall Ryoko and Ayeka are still fighting. Sasami walks by crying and they both stop. She goes to Tenchi's door and knocks. Tenchi opens the door and lets her in. She asks if she can sleep with him tonight. Tenchi says OK and Washu and Ryo-Ohki can be heard in the room. When Ryoko and Ayeka realize that they're the only ones not in the room they run to the door but are teleported outside into the lake. Tenchi wondering what the noise was goes to the door but nobody's there. Washu, glancing out the window says, "Two fools who forgot to knock." As everyone is dozing off a strange sound is heard. It's Mihoshi returning from Headquarters. Mihoshi...being Mihoshi crashes into Tenchi's house, destroying it. </div> <div> The next day all that's left is Washu's door. Inside the door everyone is sleeping in sleeping bags. Ayeka is awakened by Ryo-Ohki digging up her tree again. When she goes over to stop her she finds out that she was talking to her tree. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Hello Baby</B><B> </B></div> <div> The 8th episode of the Tenchi Muyo OAV begins when Ayeka is escorting Sasami back from A trip to Tenchi's aunt. The next day the doorbell rings and Tenchi answers it. When he does he is given formula, toys, diapers and his baby cousin. His aunt has taken ill and they need someone to take care of the baby. Before Tenchi can think about it his aunt is well down the road. </div> <div> So they're all stuck with this kid. Ayeka, Ryoko, and Mihoshi all attempt to impress Tenchi with their maternal skills. Unfortunately none of them have any. They manage to muddle their way through it. Changing the baby, feeding the baby, attending to the baby's needs. After a day of taking care of the baby, Ryoko is awakened in the middle of the night. She changes the baby in record speed then falls back to sleep. The baby gets up and wanders into Washu's lab under the stairs. When Washu finds the little tike she quickly returns him to the living room. When she gets there she gives the baby back to them. Washu returns to her lab but cannot work. She keeps tossing and turning, thinking about the baby. After a little while she returns to the living room and sees that the baby has made a mess. She takes the baby into the kitchen and doesn't like the ingredients in the formula. So she creates a super formula and gives it to the baby who loves it. </div> <div> The next day Tenchi comes into the kitchen where Washu is with the baby in a papoose. When Ryoko appears she gives the baby over to Ryoko to take care of him. When she sees how poorly she's feeding the baby she takes it and shows her how to feed it. </div> <div> Over the next couple of days Washu spends all her time with the baby, including a scene in which she imagines the baby as a small blonde child. Washu turns out to be very motherly and grows to love the baby. When Tenchi sees her holding the baby he asks if that's how Mothers and children are supposed to be. When she tells him that it is how he was with his mother, she tells him that she knows that this is how it was. </div> <div> The next day while Washu is in the kitchen caring for the baby the doorbell rings. It is Tenchi's aunt and she's gotten better. When she returns the baby, the baby reaches out towards Washu and says ";Mama". Tenchi's uncle, which looks way too much like him, thinks that the baby is talking to his mother. After the baby is gone Washu sigh in relief, but Tenchi doesn't believe that she means it. Washu tells him that when she was young she had a baby, but it was taken from her by the baby's father. The baby was taken from her because she was not of the proper heredity. Rather than allowing anything like that to happen again she changed herself into an eternal child because such things are not important to children. </div> <div> When Tenchi turns to comfort her he realizes that she's taken the form of a grown up Washu. She offers to have his baby. Ayeka and Ryoko are not fond of this idea and begin fighting with Washu and each other. </div> <div> At the end of this episode Sasami can be seen looking out the window of her room with a very sad and disturbed look on her face. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Sasami and Tsunami</B><B> </B></div> <div> The 9th episode of the OAV tells the past of Sasami. It begins when Tenchi the others return to the vacation spot the they went to in episode 4. Remember the one that Ryoko and Ayeka destroyed? When they arrive they are put to work by the old woman who owns the place. That is everyone except the children Sasami and Washu. </div> <div> During the night while everyone is doing their chores, A mysterious figure appears and disappears. While Ryoko, Ayeka, Mihoshi, and Tenchi are discussing what they saw in the kitchen, a mysterious fog begins to form. Tenchi's grandfather appears in the background and tells them a tale about a couple in love and the woman is dying. The woman died and is in search of her lover. At that moment the old woman, who is wondering why nobody is working, barges in and reveals that Tenchi's grandfather made it up. </div> <div> That night while Tenchi is working on the lights, he gets tapped on the shoulder by a ghostly hand. She ends up in the hot springs with the girls. While he's telling them about what he just saw Mihoshi asks if it looked like that thing standing on the edge of the pool. When they all look up there is a glowing person standing there. At that moment Tenchi's father gets the lights going and they find its Sasami. Then suddenly Mihoshi notices that Sasami's reflection is not hers. Its Tsunami's. Sasami runs away, Tenchi's father gets electrocuted, and the lights go out. </div> <div> Everyone begins searching for the missing Sasami. Ayeka finds her first. Then Tenchi comes up behind her and is pulled behind a bush. Washu is there with Mihoshi and Ryoko tied up. Washu and Tenchi watch as Sasami tells Ayeka that she's not the real Sasami. </div> <div> During a flashback of Ryoko's attack on Jurai, Sasami is a little girl and is in the Royal nursery where hundreds of trees of Jurai are being grown. While crossing a catwalk a Jurian battleship crashes into the building that she's in. The impact knocks her off the catwalk and she falls to the floor below. </div> <div> Next Sasami is seen lying of the bottom of the chasm in a pool of her own blood. Some of the blood flows into a nearby pool of water which is feeding a tree. Tsunami senses the dying little girl and appears. Sasami's body disappears and the reflection on Tsunami changes to that of Sasami and the triangular marks appear on Sasami's forehead. </div> <div> Back to the present time Sasami tells her sister that Sasami died that day. Ayeka tells her that they love each other and that all that really matters. Suddenly Tenchi is thrown from his hiding place. He tells Sasami that he still loves her too. And they both comfort the scared little girl. Sasami runs towards her sister, runs right past him and hugs Tenchi. </div> <div> Later that night during the celebrations of the reopening of the hot spring, Tsunami appears to Ayeka and Tenchi and tells them that Sasami is not dead, she's just become one with her. She tells them that one day when Sasami is old enough she will meld with Tsunami and live on. Later Ayeka is drinking sake and Ryoko comes up to her. Ryoko asks her what's wrong. Ayeka tells her that Sasami is Tsunami and when she grows up they'll be exactly alike. Tsunami appears and tells them that Sasami will still remember her life as Sasami buy they tell her that that's not what they're worried about. Tsunami is confused and they tell her that they hadn't considered her a rival for Tenchi. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>I Love Tenchi</B><B> </B></div> <div> One day while cleaning up his room Tenchi discovers a Kimono. It belonged to his mother, so Tenchi puts it up on display in his room. Later that day when Tenchi returns home he finds that Ryoko has taken it down and is wearing it. While showing it off to him she gets it caught on the doorknob and tears it. A look of horror comes over Tenchi. Ryoko in order to make the outfit work tears off the other sleeve. In horror Tenchi yells out ";I HATE YOU!"; just as Ryo-Ohki enters the room. Ryo-Ohki thinks that he's talking to her and runs away. Tenchi runs to comfort the poor creature leaving Ryoko still stunned. </div> <div> Tenchi finds her where else but at the garden near the carrots. In order to make up to the cabbit he picks a bunch of carrots just for her and loads them in a huge basket. When he returns home Ryoko has fixed his mother's kimono and everything is ok. </div> <div> Saddened by the fact that Tenchi has just completely forgotten about her goes off to Washu's lab. When she gets there she leans up against a glass cage and some creatures which look egg shaped pieces of clay. Washu comes up and tells Ryo-Ohki that they are called Mass. And that they are what Washu used to create Ryoko and Ryo-Ohki. Just then Washu and Ryo-Ohki rush off to watch their favorite soap opera. While watching the soap opera the Masses, which reacted to Ryo-Ohki's feelings toward Tenchi break out of their cage and escape from Washu's lab. </div> <div> When Washu returns to her lab she finds that the Masses have escaped. In order to find out what they want to do she probes Ryo-Ohki's mind and discovers that the Masses just want to help Tenchi. But she fears that if the Masses discover the hidden power in him they might become scared and destroy him. </div> <div> Outside Tenchi is working in the garden when this mysterious naked brown woman shows up. When he runs away the woman begins working on the garden. Everybody shows up and the Masses blast Ryoko. While the Masses are distracted Ryo-Ohki jumps on top of it and assimilates it. The result is a creature that resembles both Ryo-Ohki and the Woman. Ryo-Ohki speaks her first words ";Carrot". After realizing the she doesn't know how to walk Ryo-Ohki takes on the form of a toddler. </div> <bR> <div> <B>The Advent of the Goddess</B><B> </B></div> <div> This episode begins with a mysterious man making a visit to Tokimi who was seen briefly in the OAV episode 7 in Sasami's dream. After the meeting the robot that has accompanied the man seems intimidated by the extra planar being that they have just encountered. </div> <div> Back on Earth Ryoko is returning from getting sake for tonight's dinner, when suddenly she's trapped by some sort of blob. The robot appears and takes on the appearance of Ryoko. However, the jewel that she created in her hand explodes because it cannot be copied. In order to make her appearance perfect Zero, which is the name of the robot, removes the gem from Ryoko's wrist. </div> <div> When Zero, posing as Ryoko, returns to the house she meets Tenchi. With whom she falls in love with because she copied Ryoko's mind too. Zero's mission is to capture Washu and take her back to her boss the Evil Dr. Clay. Washu notices something is wrong when her and Zero are in the hot spring near Tenchi's house and there's a logo on Zero's bottom. Washu knows who's logo this is and is very careful around her daughter for a little while. </div> <div> Zero makes attempt after attempt to abduct Washu but always fails whenever Tenchi is around. Until one night Zero is summoned into outer space by Dr. Clay and told that if that boy keeps getting in the way eliminate him. At first Zero refuses but Dr. Clay increases his control over her. </div> <div> That night Zero appears in the moonlight, goes to Tenchi's room draws a lightsaber on her beloved sleeping Tenchi and... </div> <bR> <div> <B>Zero Ryoko</B><B> </B></div> <div> Zero's screams of sadness can be heard throughout the valley in which Tenchi's house is located. Inside Tenchi's room he is still asleep with Zero's lightsaber piercing his pillow inches from his head. Zero breathes a sigh of relief and leaves his room. In the hall a voice calls out. It is Washu. Zero realizes that if she captures Washu now she won't have to kill Tenchi. After failing...again (Hey this is Washu we're talking about) Ayeka shows up an confronts Zero. When Tenchi wakes up and comes out of his room, Zero cries and flees. Washu decides that they must save Ryoko and pulls Ryo-Ohki out of her shirt. </div> <div> After the confusion clears Tenchi, Washu, and Ayeka are off in Ryo-Ohki to save Ryoko. After leaving the solar system they come across Mihoshi, who has just happened to discover the Dr.'s ship. Tenchi and Ayeka rush off the ship to save her, while Washu finds the easy way into the ship. </div> <div> Washu and the Doctor finally meet again. They both worked at the space academy together and Dr. Clay was always trying to outdo Washu. After reliving old memories, the Doctor decides that he's going to capture Washu but this time he succeeds due to Zero's help. Dr. Clay plans to extract Washu's memories but Zero turns on him. Dr. Clay has his own safety measures. The ring he wears around his finger shatters and Zero drops to the floor. Washu breaks free of the trap the Dr. has set for her. </div> <div> During the Dr.'s retreat he sets the ship's engine to self destruct. Washu has to let the doctor go in order to stop the self destruct. Otherwise the explosion would cause a black hole. Washu separates the ship saving herself but the others Tenchi, Ayeka, and Mihoshi were trapped in the other part of the ship. Without thinking Tenchi forms a shield around himself and the others using the lighthawk wings. Not even a black hole can effect the lighthawk wings. While Dr. Clay is watching him do it he's not watching where he's going and crashes into Ryo-Ohki and gets arrested by Mihoshi. On the part of the ship that didn't explode, everyone is there and Tenchi is holding a dying Zero. He calls her Ryoko and she tells him that that's all she's ever wanted to be. Washu tells Tenchi that she split Ryoko into two because she couldn't control a complete Ryoko. In order to save her Washu tells him that she's going to put Ryoko and Zero back together. After telling him this Ryoko, who is naked in a giant beaker in the background, telepathically calls Washu a liar. Washu tells her that she won't do it if she doesn't want her to. Ryoko does not respond and Washu takes it as a yes. </div> <div> Everyone gets back to home safe and Ryoko experiences the emotions of love for Tenchi that are increased by Zero's true feelings. Tenchi catches the attention of Tokimi. Tokimi tells her advisor to erase the doctor's memory and not to touch Tenchi. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Here Comes Jurai</B><B> </B></div> <div> After the incident that occurred in the last episode Mihoshi's report to the Galaxy Police catches the attention of the Jurai Royal Family. So they decide to make a visit to see how everyone is doing. Yosho's mother, Funaho, and Sasami and Ayeka's mother Misaki come to Earth to see their children. Funaho visits Yosho to have some tea and back at the house the doorbell is ringing. Sasami asks Ryoko to answer the door. Suddenly this strange woman springs in the door and grabs Ryoko by the hair calling her Sasami. Ryoko keeps trying to tell her that she's not Sasami but Misaki is not known for listening. When Sasami does come out of the kitchen Misaki sees her daughter and without thinking (Something she does a lot) slams Ryoko into the wall. </div> <div> Back in the shrine Yosho is having tea with his mother she tells him that she's not fooling her. Then suddenly his old appearance fades and he still has the appearance of a young man. He tells her about how the energy that powers Ryoko's gems also feeds his Spaceship Tree (named Funaho after his mother) keeping him young. She also discovers that one of the reasons he didn't return to Jurai after defeating Ryoko was that he met a woman. </div> <div> In the house Ayeka has arrived. She greets her mother in a very formal way. Her mother seems confused and warns Ryoko that she's about to do something very embarrassing and not to tease her about it later. She stops talking proper and begins talking like a little girl that hasn't seen her mother in a long time. Ryoko begins to make fun of Ayeka but Misaki gets angry with her and starts stretching her mouth. Sasami writes a sign as to what to say to her to calm her down. When Ryoko says what's on the sign Misaki stops hurting her and starts hugging her. Then Ryo-Ohki catches Misaki's eye. Without thinking (again) she slams Ryoko into the wall and rushes over to Ryo-Ohki and starts to hug her. </div> <div> Tenchi is escorting Funaho back to the house when they meet Washu. Funaho asks to be alone with Washu and Tenchi goes ahead to the house. Funaho shows her true intention to get Washu to mass produce Ryo-Ohkis and Ryokos for use as the new generation of Jurai's battleships. Jurai is interested in this because of the destruction that Ryo-Ohki caused on Jurai 700 years ago. Washu refuses to do it. Jurain battleships are more powerful but Ryo-Ohki can be produced faster in more quantity. Funaho who looks very distressed by not being able to convince Washu to make Ryo-Ohkis only for Jurai is worried that she might sell the technology to Jurai's enemies. Washu lays this fear to rest by telling her that she will not help anybody. She will not create another Ryoko or Ryo-Ohki. A Jurain battleship flies overhead and they return to the house. </div> <div> Back at the house the Emperor of Jurai named Azusa has come to collect his wives and his girls. The girls do not want to leave. And the Emperor introduces Ayeka to her husband to be Seriyo. Seriyo is a pink haired, wussy, show off and he sounds gay. Ayeka is hardly taken with her new fiancé. The Emperor tells her that if Tenchi can defeat Seriyo in combat she can stay there with him. Before the battle starts everyone is placing bets on who will win. The Emperor bets on Seriyo but everyone else except Washu bet on Tenchi. When they ask Washu who she's betting on she says Mihoshi. </div> <div> Just after that a screaming can be heard from the sky as Mihoshi's ship is plummeting towards the Earth. It misses the house (this time) and lands in the water. The resulting tidal wave knocks out Seriyo and the Emperor permits the girls to stay with Tenchi. Just before leaving Tenchi's grandfather, who has resumed his old appearance, greets his father. Azusa tells his son that he can wait another 700 years and they all leave. </div> <div> After the ship is on its way back to Jurai the Emperor lets out an evil laugh and vows revenge against Tenchi. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Here Comes Jurai 2</B><B> </B></div> <div> Here Comes Jurai 2 was not an actual episode to Tenchi Muyo! it was a series of still pictures after the credits of the last episode. All it basically does is tells the characters what happened to Dr. Clay (His memory of Tokimi was erased) and Washu reveals that his proudest possession, an ancient vase from a long dead civilization, was a fake produced by Washu just because she needed some quick easy money. </div> <div> Watch after this for some initial character sketches of the second half of the series as well as interviews with the voice actors from both the English and Japanese versions. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Mihoshi's Space Adventure</B><B> </B></div> <div> This special episode of Tenchi Muyo casts all the characters in different roles. This casting of different roles happens quite often in the Tenchi Universe. In this particular episode Mihoshi tells her friends about one the cases that she solved. </div> <div> The credits begin with a dreamland in which everyone plays a character from different fairy tales. Ryoko is Snow White, Sasami is Little Red Riding Hood, Mihoshi is Sleeping Beauty, and Ayeka is The Wicked Witch from Snow White with a basket of poisoned apples. When she wakes up Ayeka is teasing her about being lazy and how she must be a useless detective. In order to prove herself Mihoshi tells her story of ";The Case of the Ultra Energy Matter";. Mihoshi cast all the characters starting with Ryoko stealing the Ultra Energy Matter. Ultra Energy Matter is Matter with an incredible Ultra Energy (??? That's how Mihoshi describes it anyway ???). So, Ryoko is stealing this Ultra Energy Matter when Investigator Tenchi bursts in and tries to stop her. </div> <div> The next scene Mihoshi is running frantically to her office, with complete composure, as usual (??? Keep in mind this is how Mihoshi is describing it ???), when she gets to her office we are introduced to her partner Kiyone (This is the first appearance of Kiyone, she was not one of the original cast). Ayeka is in the office and has a case for the two detectives. Ayeka is an Jurain aristocrat and self-proclaimed finance of Investigator Tenchi. Over tea, which cadet Sasami is serving, Ayeka tells them that Tenchi was taken prisoner by Ryoko and she wants the two to recover him. </div> <div> So Mihoshi, Kiyone, Ayeka, and Sasami head off to find Ryoko. They find her on an asteroid with Ryoko written on it. But when they try to sneak into the house Ayeka captures Ryoko. She is arrested. During their searching of her house for clues as to what she did with the Ultra Energy Matter. While doing so they find family picture albums of Ryoko's childhood. </div> <div> After confronting Ryoko, she promises to turn over a new leaf and help Mihoshi. After Mihoshi lets her out of the cave she breaks out of jail, steals a shuttle, and escapes...with Investigator Tenchi again. So Mihoshi, Kiyone, Ayeka, and Sasami are off to save Tenchi again. They go to the Evil Dr. Washu's fortress, played by the Soja, because they saw her in Ryoko's photo album. </div> <div> When they get there Mihoshi leads them...into a trap. A giant roach motel to be exact Sasami is not captured but a plate of carrots catches the eye of her pet Ryo-Ohki and they both fall into another trap. Ayeka, Kiyone, and Mihoshi wake up tied to crosses in front of Dr. Washu. Dr. Washu shows them her new invention which is her pride and joy ";The Galaxy Destroyer";. Washu's goal is to destroy the galaxy without any good reason, buy hey when did mad scientist ever need a reason to destroy the universe? Sasami is awakened by Ryo-Ohki, who can talk and is a boy. He tells her that its time for her to transform into Pretty Sammy. She does and runs off. In Ryoko's room she has Tenchi tied to the bed. Just before she has a chance to do anything she is knocked out from behind. Back in Washu's lab she has begun using her galaxy destroyer. It begins smashing the space-time continuum with giant mallets. Soon after Pretty Sammy shows up and casts some spells foiling Dr. Washu's plans. Kiyone and Mihoshi begin to move in to arrest her but Mihoshi slips on a banana peel and knocks Kiyone into a deem chasm of lava </div> <div> When Dr. Washu goes to use her Galaxy Destroyer on them Pretty Sammy knocks the control out of her hand. It falls into the lava and the whole ship begins to explode. Everyone escapes and on the return voyage which Sasami is on the ship, everyone is wondering who Pretty Sasami is. Mihoshi makes a comment as to how brave her partner was to sacrifice her life for justice. Back in the rubble Kiyone is standing in space. She shouts ";Mihoshi, I'm going to KILL YOU!!";.</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
