Unfortunately, Kain is immortal and waited until the opportunity to escape presented itself. This occurred at some point within the Tenchi Universe time line. After his escape Kain destroyed the Galaxy Police Headquarters leaving very few of its members alive. He then traveled back to 1970 where he intended to kill the Achika and Katsuhito as they were direct descendants of the Jurian House that had help to imprison him in the first place. Kain was only defeated when Tenchi and the others traveled back in time in order to prevent the death of his mother and thus his own death. In the end Achika was forced to unleash the Juria power which had been dormant inside her. As a result, she banished Kain back into subspace forever.
