TENCHI
Hey,. I told you not to eat like a hog. Because of you, we had 
to turn all our fields into carrot fields.

TENCHI
What's wrong?

TENCHI
Oh well, it's just snow.

TENCHI
I see. I guess you have never seen snow before.


RYOOKO
This is paradise.

RYOOKO
Hold on.

RYOOKO
How about a drink?

AEKA
No thanks.

RYOOKO
C'mon, lighten up.

RYOOKO
My, you're quite a drinker.

AEKA
Let me make this clear. I haven't forgiven you yet.

RYOOKO
What? Are you still mad over that?

RYOOKO
Too bad that you couldn't make Tenchi yours.

AEKA
How vulgar of you!

AEKA
Tenchi-sama and I are tied by noble blood. Is that perfectly clear?

AEKA
I'm not like you at all.

RYOOKO
But it's only been two months since you first met him. I've 
known Tenchi since he was small.

RYOOKO
Tenchi was so cute.

____FLASH BACK____
MOTHER 
What's wrong, Tenchi? Do you see a demon or something?


MOTHER
Hey, Tenchi.

TENCHI
Mom.

MOTHER
Are you surprised?

TENCHI
Yes. I thought it was grandpa.


TENCHI
Mom...


TENCHI
Hot!

TENCHI
My sweet potato!
(Japanese people love roasted sweet potatoes. ^_^)


GRANDPA
Tenchi.

TENCHI
I'm going.

___________

RYOOKO
I've dreamt of playing with him while waiting for my power gems to
regenerate.

RYOOKO
But he treated me like a monster.

RYOOKO
You can understand why I want to tease him, can't you?

AEKA
Well, that's because you were a mummy.

AEKA
Tenchi-sama doesn't like monsters.

RYOOKO
What did you say?

AEKA
How old are you?

AEKA
I won't stop you from liking Tenchi-sama but it'll be such a 
nuisance for him to be wooed by a thousand-year old hag.

AEKA
Look at my beautiful skin. You, who were nothing more than 
a shriveled-up corpse, could never be a match for me.


RYOOKO
That's cruel. How can you be so cruel?

AEKA
Mummy! Mummy!

MIHOSHI
Excuse me.

RYOOKO
How long have YOU been here?

MIHOSHI
Are you talking about Tenchi-san? Would it be possible for me to 
participate in the discussion?


MIHOSHI
It was Tenchi-san who saved me when I was about to be sucked into 
a black hole, right?

MIHOSHI
When I heard that, I knew he was destined for me.

MIHOSHI
It's strange. We have just met...

MIHOSHI
I feel so bashful. I shouldn't have shared this kind of
thing with others.

SASAMI
Big sisters, how long are you planning on staying there...?

SASAMI
What's this smell?

SASAMI
You smell of booze!

RYOOKO
You're the only one who understands me.


KAGATO
I finally found you, Ryooko.

RYOOKO
Kagato!

AEKA & MIHOSHI
No! A Pervert!

AEKA & MIHOSHI
Get out!

SASAMI
Ryooko Oneechan.


TENCHI
What happened?


MIHOSHI
This time it is for real. He is the infamous criminal Kagato.

MIHOSHI
A criminal on the eternal wanted list, Kagato. I know you're 
there. Please come out!


KAGATO
Please forgive my rudeness.

KAGATO
Thank you very much for your warm welcome.

TENCHI
Ryooko.

KAGATO
She is my property. Although she is a failure, she is quite
nimble. Has she caused you any inconvenience?

KAGATO
Princess Sasami, Crown Princess Aeka. I think we should talk 
somewhere without interruptions.

MIHOSHI
Kagato, 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.

KAGATO
Well, 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.

KAGATO
Please don't misunderstand me. I'm just here to invite you. 
I just want you to visit my ship Soujya.


KAGATO
You had that sword? But only the kings are worthy of it. 
If you play with it, you'll hurt yourself.

TENCHI
What the hell are you talking about?

KAGATO
You apparently don't know what you're getting into, boy.
However, if you wish to fight me, I'm more than willing to oblige.

TENCHI
Damn it!

KAGATO
There is no need to waste your life. Give me that sword.

RYOOKO
Tenchi.

RYOOKO
Don't worry about me.

KAGATO
Interesting. What do you see in that boy?

TENCHI
Ryooko.

TENCHI
What are you doing?

KAGATO
In the hands of its rightful owner, the sword will become
the key to unlock the greatest power in the universe. 
Do you deem youself worth of it?

TENCHI
How the hell should I know?

KAGATO
I'll ask again.  Are you worthy of it?

TENCHI
Turn Ryooko back to normal!

SASAMI
Tenchi-niichan!

TENCHI
Let me test you.


KAGATO
How boring. You have wasted my time.

GRANDPA
What do you think you're doing with other people's property?

TENCHI
Grandpa.

KAGATO
Ryooko, I'll give you another chance. Go!

KAGATO
So you finally appeared, the prince of the Jyurai Royal Family!

AEKA
Eh!?

KAGATO
So are you going to show me the secret treasure (hihou) of 
the universe?

GRANDPA
Secure spa (hitou)? I didn't know that there was a good hot 
spring around here.

KAGATO
How dare you mock me!

GRANDPA
The greatest energy in the universe? There is no such thing. 
Even if there is one, it's not something a human can control.

KAGATO
I have wandered the universe to discover its secret. What must 
I have? The power? The power of the Jyurai Royal Family?


TENCHI
Ryooko.

GRANDPA
How cowardly of you to use a girl as your shield!

GRANDPA
Ryooko, please wake up.

TENCHI
Grandpa, please don't kill Ryooko.


KAGATO
What are you up to? Did you give up?

GRANDPA
I told you.

KAGATO
I see. Then that boy is your successor?

RYOOKO
Tenchi!

TENCHI
Ryooko.

KAGATO
Then I'll take away something that's dear to you. Practice 
hard before you come. I'll be waiting for you.


AEKA
Oniisama! You're Youshou-Oniisama, right?

GRANDPA
I'm sorry. I guess my secret's out.

AEKA
Why? Why?

GRANDPA
Ouch.. Please don't press so hard.

AEKA
What happened to your beautiful face? You changed so much.

GRANDPA
I 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.

GRANDPA
My mother Funaho is an Earthling. So I'm half Earthling.

AEKA
Why 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.

GRANDPA
Because of your youthful innocence, you probably couldn't
see the hate in the hearts of those around you.. the hate 
for those with alien blood.

GRANDPA
I couldn't endure such discrimination anymore.

GRANDPA
Fortunately for me, Ryoohki's assault took place at that time.

GRANDPA
This planet is so beautiful. I want to be buried here. I have 
no intention of returning to Jyurai. 

AEKA
Without the tree and water of life, you'll die!

GRANDPA
That's right. But that doesn't bother me a bit. Someday, 
you'll be able to understand me.

TENCHI
Grandpa was Youshou...

TENCHI
Then everything was for real?

GRANDPA
That's right. You're a prince of the Jyurai Royal Family.
Surprised?

TENCHI
But you never told me anything about this.

GRANDPA
If I had told you, would you have succeeded to the throne of Jyurai?

GRANDPA
Fool!  You have to grab your future with your own hands!

GRANDPA
I'm sorry. I had no idea you've been tormented so much by it.

GRANDPA
What do you think? It's still not too late for us to get married.

AEKA
Stop that, Oniisama.

GRANDPA
Ouch. I'm already too old. Please help Tenchi. Such as he is, he 
is my lovely grandson.

GRANDPA
And both of you are about the right age.

MIHOSHI
This is so touching!

MIHOSHI
I know I am just an outsider but I could not help overhearing.

TENCHI
Grandpa. I have to go to rescue Ryooko.

AEKA
Everything is her fault. There is no need to help her.

GRANDPA
I'll give it to you. Go and defeat Kagato. That man is dangerous. 
In order to obtain the treasure, he wouldn't hesitate to
destroy this planet.

TENCHI
Yeah, right.. but you know that I don't know how to control the
sword..

GRANDPA
With an attitude like that, you'll never be able to protect the
ladies!

GRANDPA
You have great potential hidden within you. Have faith 
in yourself.

TENCHI
I understand, grandpa.

AEKA
Tenchi-sama, don't go!

GRANDPA
Aeka, there are times when a man has to fight.

AEKA
But...

AEKA
Tenchi-sama, look out.

GRANDPA
Looks like the sword has acknowledged Tenchi as its rightful owner.

AEKA
Eh?

GRANDPA
Are you going, Tenchi? You haven't mastered the sword yet...
are you still going?

TENCHI
Yes.

TENCHI
I have to rescue Ryooko.

SASAMI
Tenchi Oniichan, I'll go, too.

MIHOSHI
Me, too.

TENCHI
Thank you.

MIHOSHI
Just carrying out my duty as a galactic police officer. Nothing 
special.

SASAMI
Are you going too, Oneechan?

AEKA
I....

TENCHI 
Aeka-san, please take care of grandpa.

MIHOSHI
By the way, how are we going to get there?

SASAMI
Looks like there's something. Let's go, Tenchi-niichan.

TENCHI
OK.

SASAMI
Oneechan.

SASAMI
Oneechan.

AEKA
Yes.


TENCHI
What's going on?

SASAMI
Ryoohki-chan is...

MIHOSHI
Oh dear! That little creature has...
Oh dear. What should we do...

SASAMI
Ryoohki-chan...

TENCHI
Anyway, looks like now we'll be able to reach where he is....


KAGATO
Fools. They have come together.

KAGATO
Incomprehesible.  Why risk their lives to save a failure like you?
   
RYOOKO
I'm no longer your machine. I'm a human being!

KAGATO
Human being?  Before the infinite universe, human emotions
mean little more than the dust under my feet.

KAGATO
I 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?

KAGATO
I believe it's time to prepare a reception for our guests.
 
RYOOKO
Stop it!  If you lay just one finger on Tenchi, I'll make 
you regret it, ASSHOLE!


AEKA
The Soujya is preparing to attack.

AEKA
Take evasive action.

MIHOSHI
Easy for you to say, but I'm not quite sure how to work this.

AEKA
Ryoohki, attack. Oh well, I don't know much about a stranger's ship.



MIHOSHI
Oh dear.

MIHOSHI
It's so pretty.


AEKA
What are you doing at a time like this?

MIHOSHI
This one is different from the others. What can it be?

AEKA
I don't know!

AEKA
Forget about it and try to figure out how to operate...


KAGATO
It'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..


TENCHI
Shit! What should I do?


TENCHI
What happened?

AEKA
Did the gyro get destroyed?


AEKA
What the hell are you doing?

AEKA
This is a computer unit!

MIHOSHI
But I didn't have anything better to do...


KAGATO
What incredible evasive capability. Can it be due to the 
power of the boy's sword?


TENCHI
Is it possible to attack from Ryuuoh (Aeka's ship)?

AEKA
That's possible. But now she is just a supporting unit for this
ship.
It's too risky.

TENCHI
But we have no alternatives.

AEKA
I'll go.

TENCHI
No,  you don't. I should go since it's all my fault.

AEKA
Tenchi-sama.

TENCHI
Give me instructions when I get there.


TENCHI
Aeka-san.

AEKA
First, please open the Radiant Hawk Wing.

TENCHI
Radiant Hawk Wing?

AEKA
It's the ship's shield. It was originally intended as a
defense system. It can also be used for offence at the cost 
of sharply deminished defensive capability.

TENCHI
I don't understand what you're talking about but I'll do my best.

TENCHI
So what should I do now?


KAGATO
Hmm. That's Radiant Hawk Wing, the power of the Jyurai Royal Family.
Then I'd better counter it with something more powerful.

AEKA
Tenchi-sama, please hurry.


TENCHI
Go!


AEKA
Tenchi-sama! (X2)

AEKA
Tenchi-sama! (X10)

AEKA
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!


RYOOKO
Tenchi!

RYOOKO
Tenchi!

RYOOKO
Where are you!

RYOOKO
Kagato, you took the most precious thing away from me!

RYOOKO
You'll pay for this!

TALENT OF LOVE
Sung by Yokoyama Chisa

Don't say "I love you."
It's such a corny line.
Acting like total strangers is 
A talent of love
Our eyes met again
Ah, I love the moment when I turn my eyes away from you
I know your feelings for me
And I have the same feelings for you
But when we call ourselves "lovers"
It's no longer love anymore
So don't try to confirm our love
Let's just stay the way we are

I know your feeling for me
And I have same feelings for you
But when we're called "lovers"
It's no longer love anymore
So don't try to confirm our love
Let's just stay the way we are


PREVIEW
Kagato, the man who made me and then took everything away from me. 
Now he even took Tenchi...this warm feeling that I finally found 
after wandering for an eternity....

Kagato, you...


Tenchi Muyou Final Episode: We NEED Tenchi!

Tenchi, the universe...the stars...have no meaning without you.
