| Ryoko Resurrected |
| This is the first episode in the Tenchi Muyo Series. We are introduced to Tenchi, a teenage boy with a curious mind. Nearby to Tenchi's house is a cave, which has always been off limits to Tenchi by his grandfather. Tenchi is introduced searching through his grandfather's things in search of the keys to the lock on the cave. His grandfather tells him that if he can take the keys from him he can enter the cave. Tenchi tries...and fails...or does he? Tenchi mysteriously ends up with the keys in his mouth and rushes off to enter the cave. When he enters the cave he finds the legendary "Sword That Can Cut Through a Rock" which is said to bind the demon. He withdraws the sword from its scabbard and discovers that it's rusted. In frustration be bangs it on a nearby rock (With runes on it) and the rock splits in half which opens a nearby passage. The passage consists of a long chute which Tenchi slides down. Where he discovers a sleeping demon. At least he thought that it was sleeping. The creature touches him but is stopped by the hilt of the sword that Tenchi is still holding. He naturally runs for his life up the chute in a dash that would make even the most practiced Olympic athletes jealous. The adventure continues a few months later in school where he's brought the hilt as sort of a souvenir of his adventures. After falling asleep on the roof during his lunch break he wakes up that night to the sound of a bell. When he awakens, he finds his kitten up on the roof with him. The kitten runs up to him and disappears. Behind him perched up on a higher roof is a woman with spiked blue hair and amber eyes. She merely says "Ryoko". Ryoko begins to blame Tenchi for her 700-year entombment in the cave. After fleeing from Ryoko for some time during which he figures out that the source of her powers comes from a red gem that is located in her right wrist. She attempts to finish him off, However her deathblow was blocked by the hilt of the sword, which floats in midair in front of Tenchi. The sword causes Tenchi to fight the demon and with a little luck he manages to cut off her hand, destroying the gem in the process. Tenchi apologizes to her for cutting off her wrist but she says that it's ok and grows it back right in front of him. She then sinks into the earth and Tenchi goes home. When he gets home, he sits on his bed and discovers that it's a little lumpy. Pulling back the covers in horror he finds Ryoko |
