Mummy!MIHOSHIExcuse me.RYOOKOHow long have YOU been here?MIHOSHIAre you talking about Tenchi-san? Would it be possible for me to participate in the discussion?MIHOSHIIt was Tenchi-san who saved me when I was about to be sucked into a black hole, right?MIHOSHIWhen I heard that, I knew he was destined for me.MIHOSHIIt's strange. We have just met...MIHOSHII feel so bashful. I shouldn't have shared this kind ofthing with others.SASAMIBig sisters, how long are you planning on staying there...?SASAMIWhat's this smell?SASAMIYou smell of booze!RYOOKOYou're the only one who understands me.KAGATOI finally found you, Ryooko.RYOOKOKagato!AEKA & MIHOSHINo! A Pervert!AEKA & MIHOSHIGet out!SASAMIRyooko Oneechan.TENCHIWhat happened?MIHOSHIThis time it is for real. He is the infamous criminal Kagato.MIHOSHIA criminal on the eternal wanted list, Kagato. I know you're there. Please come out!KAGATOPlease forgive my rudeness.KAGATOThank you very much for your warm welcome.TENCHIRyooko.KAGATOShe is my property. Although she is a failure, she is quitenimble. Has she caused you any inconvenience?KAGATOPrincess Sasami, Crown Princess Aeka. I think we should talk somewhere without interruptions.MIHOSHIKagato, you're under arrest. This sector is a special sanctuary. Any type of combat activity is prohibited here. If you harm inhabitants here, I'll kill you.KAGATOWell, well! I have heard about your heroic feats. I heard that you worked so hard that you were demoted to a remote sector of galaxy.KAGATOPlease don't misunderstand me. I'm just here to invite you. I just want you to visit my ship Soujya.KAGATOYou had that sword? But only the kings are worthy of it. If you play with it, you'll hurt yourself.TENCHIWhat the hell are you talking about?KAGATOYou apparently don't know what you're getting into, boy.However, if you wish to fight me, I'm more than willing to oblige.TENCHIDamn it!KAGATOThere is no need to waste your life. Give me that sword.RYOOKOTenchi.RYOOKODon't worry about me.KAGATOInteresting. What do you see in that boy?TENCHIRyooko.TENCHIWhat are you doing?KAGATOIn the hands of its rightful owner, the sword will becomethe key to unlock the greatest power in the universe. Do you deem youself worth of it?TENCHIHow the hell should I know?KAGATOI'll ask again.  Are you worthy of it?TENCHITurn Ryooko back to normal!SASAMITenchi-niichan!TENCHILet me test you.KAGATOHow boring. You have wasted my time.GRANDPAWhat do you think you're doing with other people's property?TENCHIGrandpa.KAGATORyooko, I'll give you another chance. Go!KAGATOSo you finally appeared, the prince of the Jyurai Royal Family!AEKAEh!?KAGATOSo are you going to show me the secret treasure (hihou) of the universe?GRANDPASecure spa (hitou)? I didn't know that there was a good hot spring around here.KAGATOHow dare you mock me!GRANDPAThe greatest energy in the universe? There is no such thing. Even if there is one, it's not something a human can control.KAGATOI have wandered the universe to discover its secret. What must I have? The power? The power of the Jyurai Royal Family?TENCHIRyooko.GRANDPAHow cowardly of you to use a girl as your shield!GRANDPARyooko, please wake up.TENCHIGrandpa, please don't kill Ryooko.KAGATOWhat are you up to? Did you give up?GRANDPAI told you.KAGATOI see. Then that boy is your successor?RYOOKOTenchi!TENCHIRyooko.KAGATOThen I'll take away something that's dear to you. Practice hard before you come. I'll be waiting for you.AEKAOniisama! You're Youshou-Oniisama, right?GRANDPAI'm sorry. I guess my secret's out.AEKAWhy? Why?GRANDPAOuch.. Please don't press so hard.AEKAWhat happened to your beautiful face? You changed so much.GRANDPAI didn't want to tell you this. But if I stayed in Jyurai, there would have been conflicts over the right of succession between you and me.GRANDPAMy mother Funaho is an Earthling. So I'm half Earthling.AEKAWhy would something like that matter?  The first queen should be from Jyurai.. the second queen should be from a different planet.. that's what our father decided.GRANDPABecause of your youthful innocence, you probably couldn'tsee the hate in the hearts of those around you.. the hate for those with alien blood.GRANDPAI couldn't endure such discrimination anymore.GRANDPAFortunately for me, Ryoohki's assault took place at that time.GRANDPAThis planet is so beautiful. I want to be buried here. I have no intention of returning to Jyurai. AEKAWithout the tree and water of life, you'll die!GRANDPAThat's right. But that doesn't bother me a bit. Someday, you'll be able to understand me.TENCHIGrandpa was Youshou...TENCHIThen everything was for real?GRANDPAThat's right. You're a prince of the Jyurai Royal Family.Surprised?TENCHIBut you never told me anything about this.GRANDPAIf I had told you, would you have succeeded to the throne of Jyurai?GRANDPAFool!  You have to grab your future with your own hands!GRANDPAI'm sorry. I had no idea you've been tormented so much by it.GRANDPAWhat do you think? It's still not too late for us to get married.AEKAStop that, Oniisama.GRANDPAOuch. I'm already too old. Please help Tenchi. Such as he is, he is my lovely grandson.GRANDPAAnd both of you are about the right age.MIHOSHIThis is so touching!MIHOSHII know I am just an outsider but I could not help overhearing.TENCHIGrandpa. I have to go to rescue Ryooko.AEKAEverything is her fault. There is no need to help her.GRANDPAI'll give it to you. Go and defeat Kagato. That man is dangerous. In order to obtain the treasure, he wouldn't hesitate todestroy this planet.TENCHIYeah, right.. but you know that I don't know how to control thesword..GRANDPAWith an attitude like that, you'll never be able to protect theladies!GRANDPAYou have great potential hidden within you. Have faith in yourself.TENCHII understand, grandpa.AEKATenchi-sama, don't go!GRANDPAAeka, there are times when a man has to fight.AEKABut...AEKATenchi-sama, look out.GRANDPALooks like the sword has acknowledged Tenchi as its rightful owner.AEKAEh?GRANDPAAre you going, Tenchi? You haven't mastered the sword yet...are you still going?TENCHIYes.TENCHII have to rescue Ryooko.SASAMITenchi Oniichan, I'll go, too.MIHOSHIMe, too.TENCHIThank you.MIHOSHIJust carrying out my duty as a galactic police officer. Nothing special.SASAMIAre you going too, Oneechan?AEKAI....TENCHI Aeka-san, please take care of grandpa.MIHOSHIBy the way, how are we going to get there?SASAMILooks like there's something. Let's go, Tenchi-niichan.TENCHIOK.SASAMIOneechan.SASAMIOneechan.AEKAYes.TENCHIWhat's going on?SASAMIRyoohki-chan is...MIHOSHIOh dear! That little creature has...Oh dear. What should we do...SASAMIRyoohki-chan...TENCHIAnyway, looks like now we'll be able to reach where he is....KAGATOFools. They have come together.KAGATOIncomprehesible.  Why risk their lives to save a failure like you?   RYOOKOI'm no longer your machine. I'm a human being!KAGATOHuman being?  Before the infinite universe, human emotionsmean little more than the dust under my feet.KAGATOI made you what you are because it was convenient for me to do so. I never cared about your form in the first place. Should I turn you into an ordinary piece of stone?KAGATOI believe it's time to prepare a reception for our guests. RYOOKOStop it!  If you lay just one finger on Tenchi, I'll make you regret it, ASSHOLE!AEKAThe Soujya is preparing to attack.AEKATake evasive action.MIHOSHIEasy for you to say, but I'm not quite sure how to work this.AEKARyoohki, attack. Oh well, I don't know much about a stranger's ship.MIHOSHIOh dear.MIHOSHIIt's so pretty.AEKAWhat are you doing at a time like this?MIHOSHIThis one is different from the others. What can it be?AEKAI don't know!AEKAForget about it and try to figure out how to operate...KAGATOIt's me who made the ship you're riding on right now. No matter what kind of evasive action you take, it's a piece of cake for me to figure out your next move..TENCHIShit! What should I do?TENCHIWhat happened?AEKADid the gyro get destroyed?AEKAWhat the hell are you doing?AEKAThis is a computer unit!MIHOSHIBut I didn't have anything better to do...KAGATOWhat incredible evasive capability. Can it be due to the power of the boy's sword?TENCHIIs it possible to attack from Ryuuoh (Aeka's ship)?AEKAThat's possible. But now she is just a supporting unit for thisship.It's too risky.TENCHIBut we have no alternatives.AEKAI'll go.TENCHINo,  you don't. I should go since it's all my fault.AEKATenchi-sama.TENCHIGive me instructions when I get there.TENCHIAeka-san.AEKAFirst, please open the Radiant Hawk Wing.TENCHIRadiant Hawk Wing?AEKAIt's the ship's shield. It was originally intended as adefense system. It can also be used for offence at the cost of sharply deminished defensive capability.TENCHII don't understand what you're talking about but I'll do my best.TENCHISo what should I do now?KAGATOHmm. That's Radiant Hawk Wing, the power of the Jyurai Royal Family.Then I'd better counter it with something more powerful.AEKATenchi-sama, please hurry.TENCHIGo!AEKATenchi-sama! (X2)AEKATenchi-sama! (X10)AEKANOOOOOOOO!!!!!!RYOOKOTenchi!RYOOKOTenchi!RYOOKOWhere are you!RYOOKOKagato, you took the most precious thing away from me!RYOOKOYou'll pay for this!
