OVA Part 1 OVA Part 2 OVA Specials Tenchi Universe


The episode begins as Tenchi is searching for his grandfather's keys to the Masaki Shrine. His grandfather catches him and by some twist of fate Tenchi steals the keys from his grandfather. Tenchi then runs to the cave in the Masaki Shrine where legend says that the great warrior Yosho sealed a demon. After Tenchi uses the "Sword that can cut through a rock", which is so rusted it breaks afterward, he falls down a slope and finds the demon of Masaki shrine. The demon is, of course, Ryoko but she is in a mummified state. After Tenchi drops the hilt of the sword, which holds Ryoko's three gems of power, the mummified Ryoko awakens. This basically scares the hell out of Tenchi and he runs away.

The next day at school Tenchi gets in a fight with one of his classmates who said that Tenchi slept with a mummy. Tenchi then walks outside the school and falls asleep. When Tenchi wakes up at night he meets Ryoko who has returned to her more youthful form. After introducing herself, Ryoko proceeds to destroy most of Tenchi's school while a gas explosion caused by Ryoko finishes most of the job. After running around inside the school, Tenchi is cornered by Ryoko outside. By yet another twist of fate Tenchi is able to use the sword he found in the cave to defend himself against Ryoko. He even manages to cut of her hand which causes the pseudo-gem on her wrist to explode. Ryoko easily regenerates the lost limb and phases into the ground, just before the school explodes again forcing Tenchi to run like hell again.

When Tenchi arrives back at his house, he just wants to go to sleep. As he sits on his bed, he feels something in the bed. Tenchi pulls the covers back and sees Ryoko sleeping in his bed. The episode ends as Ryoko welcomes Tenchi home.
