No Need for Discussions
This is the first episode in the Tenchi Muyo TV series. Tenchi is walking down the stairs remembering the "Carnival That Would Never End". It all began that day... A battle rages between two space ships of very different make. Eventually the damage they have caused to each other forces them to crash land on a nearby planet, Earth. Tenchi sees these two things impact on the surface. When he goes to the rubble he finds a young girl. Finding her uncocious he gives her some water and she wakes up. He takes her back to his house. When he gets there she tells him that her name is Ryoko and she's being chased by a dangerous space pirate. They meet the space pirate who corners them on a cliff. The space pirate is some sort of mech(A mechanical battle suit). After escaping from the clumsy space pirate they return to Tenchi's house. Tenchi's father Noboyuki and his grandfather Katsuhito feel sorry for the poor lost girl. That night back at Tenchi's house there's a knock at the door. Its the space pirate. It chases them upstairs, out the window, and up the hill to the Masaki shrine on top of it where Tenchi's grandfather lives. He helps Tenchi and Ryoko by slicing the space pirate in half with a wooden sword. After the mech blows up there is a blonde girl there claiming to be a police officer. After showing them her ID and Ryoko, the wanted space pirate's wanted poster, Galaxy Police Officer Mihoshi fires on Ryoko. But her laser blasts are deflected around her. Given no other option they run away. Down the hill, into Tenchi's house, up the stairs, and out the same window. Their landing is not as soft as when with Ryoko though. Mihoshi has done the clichéd twisting of the ankle. Tenchi turns to fight Ryoko. He picks up a hoe and holds it like a sword. Ryoko, respecting his braveness, and the fact that they're not running away anymore says that she was just kidding.

The third episode begins when Ryoko goes out over the lake in which the spaceships crashed. She says that its finally born. Meanwhile Tenchi is working near the Masaki shrine. In the sky there is something flying about. It flies in strange directions darting out at right angles. Suddenly a heavy breeze kicks up and Tenchi spots a young girl up the road. After talking to her for a while she tells him that her name is Sasami and then she disappears. Tenchi, thinking that she's seen a ghost, runs back to the shrine. When he gets there his grandfather describes the girl that he just met in the forest in great detail. Just then Tenchi's father is coming up the stairs escorting a young girl. She is Sasami and they're talking about how she likes to cook. That night while they're all enjoying a dinner that Sasami cooked Ryoko says that she's not hungry.

But that's all she figures out. Ayeka figures out the rest of the story. The egg is the child of Ryo-Ohki. You see when Ryo-Ohki is about to die she produces an egg. Inside is an exact copy of herself which in time hatches and Ryo-Ohki is reborn. Sort of like the legend of the phoenix. Sasami makes friends with Ryo-Ohki she feeds her its first carrot.

They find their way to the end of the maze and sit at a fountain and play. Mirei tells Sasami that the Merry-Go-Round in Sasami's mind had a sparkling sticker on it saying two thumbs up. Sasami tells her that she puts that sticker on all her favorite memories. After playing Sasami returns home and the ship regains its power. Back on the ghost ship Sasami and a sparkling sticker appears on the picture Mirei showed her earlier.

No Need For Runaways
While everyone is dining at a beef bowl restaurant two smalltime hoodlums named Imarube and Yura steal Yagami to start their career as unstoppable criminals. Ryoko, Tenchi, Kiyone, Washu, and Mihoshi head off in Ryo-Ohki to catch them. Ayeka and Sasami are stuck with the bill but they don't have any money and have to wash dishes. Meanwhile back on Yagami Tenchi's father and grandfather are completely unaware of what is going on. A GP detector picks up Yagami which they believe Ayeka and the others are in and begin pursuit. They watch the news and find out why the police are after them. Everyone is watching the same program on Ryo-Ohki and use it to find where Yagami is. The police are still chasing Yagami and while trying to find a way to get away they accidentally fire on the GP ships. The police return begin to return fire and the gangster wannabees begin to panic. Their pathetic cries for help are heard on Ryo-Ohki. In order to catch them Ryoko chooses to use Operation Speed Up Ryo-Ohki. This works by feeding Ryo-Ohki a red hot chili pepper. At the speed that Ryo-Ohki achieves after eating a chili pepper they quickly catch up to Yagami which is on a collision course with a star about to go super-nova. They board the ship and go to the cockpit where the hoodlums are unconscious. Washu comes up with a equation to escape the police using the gravity of the supernova. As for the criminals... they were ejected into space. Then they remember they forgot Ayeka and Sasami.

No Need For Swimsuits
In search of money the gang finds their way to a resort planet. Here they plan to sell food and drinks to the visitors. But business is not going as well as planned. Maybe it has something to do with Ryoko eating all their merchandise. Nagi finds her way to the planet too. Kiyone finds a job working as a lifeguard to earn some extra cash. The girls find out about a swimsuit contest in which the winner get 1,000,000 Jurai (Dollars.) All the girls except Sasami are certain that they will win the contest. Later that day Nagi wanders into their shop and orders a beer. She challenges Ryoko but Ryoko tells her to wait until after the contest. So the contest begins. While all the girls are getting ready Kiyone finds that her job gave her a sunburn. And Ryo-Ohki turns up missing. She's gone off to spend some time with Ken-Ohki. Ayeka and Ryoko enter the contest as look-alikes. Maybe the Ryoko look alike is Minagi (See the Comic books)? While the judges are making their decision, Nagi enters the contest as a surprise contestant. The judges make their decision and the winner is......Nagi. But Ryoko, not being one to be outdone takes the prize money and gets away. Ryo-Ohki picks up everyone and catches up with Ryoko.

No Need For A Checkpoint
Everyone arrives at a checkpoint before they arrive in Jurain space. The Jurain border is the most difficult to pass. In order to sneak through they pose as a girls' school class. Katsuhito, Noboyuki, and Kiyone are chaperones, Mihoshi is the school nurse, Washu is a teacher, Ryo-Ohki is Sasami's teddy bear, and Ryoko, Ayeka and Tenchi are students. Because its a girls' school Tenchi is dressed up as a girl. Washu has designed the perfect disguises to sneak through all the retinal scans and other precautions the border has to offer. In a large office an old man is watching a series of security monitors. He zeroes in on Sasami. Tenchi meets a man named Sagami and he seems to like Tenko (Tenchi.) When Mihoshi passes through the metal detector she still has her Galaxy Police blaster and it sets off the alarm. Back on the ship Azaka and Kamidake hypnotize the inspectors and make them report that nothing is wrong. While running away from the authorities she runs to Ryoko and she gets caught up in the chase. While Sagami is buying lunch for Temko and Sasami they get caught up in the chase too. Sagami "accidentally" trips their pursuers and they escape. The gig is up and everyone is on the run. The man in the security booth continues to follow Sasami around the station. There is a flashback of Sasami as a little girl calling out for her uncle. Sasami is rescued by Sagami who can open the gates on the station. He gives Tenchi a wooden sword and he proceeds to hand out an ass woopin to all the guards. They find Sasami nearby. Both teams meet and just when the guards have them cornered, they use Ryo-Ohki to get to their ship. The guards are prevented from capturing them by the security gates. As the ship flies away Sasami sees her uncle and Sagami through a window. She knows that he helped them escape.
No Need For Knights
They finally make it to Jurai space, but the Jurain ships are in pursuit. In order to escape, Katsuhito suggest that they go to a nearby sector of stars. Ayeka tells them that that area is known as the Sacred Place (I think they could've come up with a better name but...) The battleships won't follow them there because its forbidden. Then grandpa gives them directions to a planet in the Sacred Place. He goes home to rest. Ayeka tells her sister of a legend of two knights who sleep on a planet in the Sacred Place. She wonders if this is the planet where they sleep. Grandpa leads them to a huge Jurain tree. On the trees are two Japanese symbols that match the signs on Azaka and Kamidake. They assume positions on the tree next to their corresponding signs. Katsuhito, using the powers of Jurai awakens the two knights in a lightshow that looks like it could cause seizures. The firs time I saw this scene I was in a dark room with the lights off and I'll never do that again. The two knights names Azaka and Kamidake awaken. The guardians acted as storage for the essence of the two knights. Sort of like two big hard drives. The guardians themselves burn out and die. Here Katsuhito tells everyone that his real name is Yosho, the legendary knight of Jurai, and that the man claiming to be Yosho is false. He tells of his past when he was young man. He found his way to the planet Earth and fell in love so he settled down there. He married the woman and inherited the Masaki Shrine. He was then given the name Katsuhito Masaki. The Jurain battleship shows up and tries to capture everyone. So Azaka and Kamidake blow the thing up. They pay their final respects to the guardians and continue their journey. Back on Jurai the emperor is told of their escape. Anyone who has seen the OAV will recognize the voice of Kagato. And if you miss that they give away the identity during the previews of the next volume. And Azaka becomes addicted to video games.

No Need For Karma
Yagami lands on a planet which was the where the imperial villa used to be. Here they can hide and prepare for their upcoming battle. Standing in a clearing with two statues. One is a statue of Yosho, he looks a lot like Tenchi. The other is a man who they do not recognize. Yosho tells them that the other statue is the other great knight of Jurai. He and Yosho trained alongside each other. But he allowed himself to be changed by the Jurai power. It twisted him into a ruthless man. Sort of like the dark side of the Force. He's the closest thing to Darth Vader in this series. He works for the dark side, he wields a lightsaber, you see any parallels here? Yosho names him as Kagato and tells them that the reason they've never heard of him because after he was shamed by the Jurain counsel his name was erased from the history books. Eventually Yosho fought Kagato and defeated him That night Ayeka tells Tenchi about her feelings for him. And Kagato reveals himself to Yosho. Kagato has not aged at all since he last fought Yosho. Yosho finally whips out Tenchi the sword of Jurai. It appeared in the OAV but it looked a little different. A fight begins between Kagato and Yosho. Yosho used his most powerful attacks to defeat Kagato but due to his age he is unable to do so. The resulting explosion attracts the others. Ryoko is the first there. She attacks Kagato but he kicks her ass. She gets hit with some sort of dark Jurai power which causes her to bleed indefinitely. Kagato tries to capture Ayeka but Azaka and Kamidake interrupt. He kicks their ass too. Tenchi protects his grandfather with a stick and Kagato goes to kick his ass. He realizes who Tenchi is and decides this is not the time or place for a final battle. He kidnaps Ayeka and escapes. Yosho was not killed by Kagato but he's hurt bad. He gives Tenchi the sword and tells him that it is his destiny to stop Kagato.

No Need For Ryoko
On their way to Jurai, Tenchi is having doubts about his ability to defeat Kagato. Ryoko's wound is causing her great pain and is not healing. While trying to escape from the Jurai battleships Nagi comes to their rescue. She doesn't want anyone else to kill Ryoko. They invite Nagi into the house. Grandpa is in a hypervalic chamber, a medical chamber used to heal serious injuries. Life 4, Matter 3, Prime 2 talisman for those of you that play Mage: the ascension :). Ryoko begs Tenchi not to go to rescue Ayeka. Just to run away with her. After she can't convince him to do so she offers to escort him to Jurai. Nagi shows up at her room and challenges her. Nagi discovers Ryoko's injury and tells her that she doesn't want to kill her like that. The next day they're preparing to leave. Yagami will keep the fleet busy while Ryo-Ohki sneaks by. Nagi begins to leave but Ken-Ohki seems upset with her. On Jurai the fleet is defending Jurai. They pick up Ryo-Ohki on radar and move to persue. When they do Ryo-Ohki runs away and the fleet follows. Meanwhile another Ryo-Ohki after eating a chili pepper speeds by. The first ship shatters its shell and its Ken-Ohki. Ken-Ohki engages the fleet. When Ryo-Ohki gets to Jurai they have to run a gauntlet of planetary defenses. Including an orbital laser array, giant dandy lion looking spike things, and a bunch of other nasty things. The amount of energy Ryoko spends on busting in takes its toll on Ryoko and Ryo-Ohki. Ryo-Ohki is badly damaged and leaving a trail of black smoke. But they manage to crash land on Jurai near the palace. Ryoko parts company with Tenchi, Azaka, and Kamidake. After they're out of sight Ryoko collapses in pain. Kagato is waiting on the throne for Tenchi's arrival. As for Ryo-Ohki and Ryoko, they're cruising away from Jurai. Ryoko is limp in her command chair. She is very weak. Suddenly her hand falls from her chair and a stream of blood rides down it an into a puddle on the floor. Ryo-Ohki's screams of sadness are heard echoing through space.

No Need For A Showdown
While Tenchi, Azaka and Kamidake are rushing to the throne room, Nagi is fighting the Jurain fleet. She's easily destroying ship after ship. While heading for the throne room they run into Tetter, a knight of Jurai. Tetter doesn't seem to care about Kagato's unworthy ascension to the throne. Azaka stays to fight Tetter while Tenchi and Kamidake escape. On the Jurain flagship, Soja (for those of you that remember it), Washu uses the door from an earlier episode to sneak aboard one of the ships. Once there Washu threatens that they surrender or she will release her ultra computer virus into the system. They activate the self-destruct device on the ship that they took and everyone runs back through the door. But not before Washu has time to infect some of the Jurain battleships. Kamidake meets another knight of Jurai named Tessei. Both Azaka and Kamidake's fights are not going well the newer and younger knights have access to more techniques that were not available during their time. Tenchi reaches the throne room, there he finds Kagato with Ayeka being held at his side. He runs up the long flight of stairs only to be knocked back down again. Meanwhile Nagi is getting bored with her fight. She charges into the middle of the fleet taking some serious damage but releases a 360 degree beam which destroys all the ships at once. Azaka and Kamidake are not yet defeated though. They didn't become legendary knights for nothing. Using hyper charged power they overwhelm the evil knights and destroy them. Weakened by the energy they just burned they pass out. The Jurai fleet shoot down Yagami and Kiyone, Mihoshi, Sasami, Noboyuki, and Washu are captured. Kagato continues to taunt Tenchi. He moves in to kill him. But Ayeka shatters the bonds that hold her. After all this time Ayeka releases the Jurai power that she has. While its pretty powerful its not enough to kill Kagato. Tenchi cries out to Kagato not to harm Ayeka when the Jurain trees in the throne room come to life. They bless Tenchi with their power. They have accepted Tenchi as their champion. Tenchi's sword glows brighter and stronger. Jurian power can be seen resonating from the blade. Tenchi and Kagato charge each other. Tenchi's speed and agility which he gained from his grandfather allow him to land a fatal strike on Kagato. Kagato falls to one knee and dies.

No Need For A Conclusion
After the fall of Kagato, everyone was proven innocent of treason and all charges. Ayeka did not punish those involved in the conspiracy, instead most resigned on their own accord. Grandpa got better and is surrounded by young nurses. Dad is there too. The guardians were revived by Washu. The knights Azaka and Kamidake are resuming their lives as humans. Azaka has become addicted to video games. Washu become elected president of the Universal Science Academy. In her acceptance speech she promises to use her knowledge only in the pursuit of peace. A few months later she was discovered developing a weapon that could destroy the Universe. Back at GP headquarters Kiyone has ascended to Mitsuki's boss and enjoys bossing her around. Mihoshi also got a promotion but she still spends most of her time with Kiyone. As for Ryoko she has not been seen since she left Jurai. Nagi continues her search going from bar to bar with a picture of Ryoko. Its suspected that her wounds inflicted by Kagato were too great and she passed away. Back on Jurai Princess Ayeka has taken the throne. Tenchi is going home and Ayeka can't convince him to stay on Jurai and be her prince. She says her final good byes and walks off into the shadows. Back on Earth Tenchi has resumed the life of a normal boy. He's back in school and his days spent in space were reguarded as an excused absence. Ryo-Oh is growing bigger and bigger. Grandpa has gone back to his shrine. Noboyuki has resumed his job as an architect and continues to hit on his secretary. They still have the karaoke machine, but they don't use it. The house is very quiet without so many people living in it. Washu's lab has changed back to a broom closet. There is a for rent sign on Mihoshi and Kiyone's apartment. The next day on Tenchi's way to school he's haunted by the memories of his time with the others. He hears a meow and its just a normal cat (His cat is named chibi by the way). He remembers the first episode when he found Ryoko. He hears Ryoko's voice behind him and when he turns around she's standing there but disappears. She reappears on a rock beside him bur this time she's real. Its a good thing that Ryoko regenerates huh :). Back on Jurai, Princess Ayeka has turned up missing. But Sasami knows where she's gone and rushes off to join her. Kiyone and Mihoshi are reassigned to Earth. They move back into their old apartment. Washu's portal opens under the stairs again. And the story begins again... At the end of this episode is the full version of the ending song.
