Synopsis
In "Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki," seventeen-year-old Tenchi Masaki hears tales about his ancestor who sealed a demon inside a cave with a sword centuries ago. Driven by curiosity, he visits the cave and retrieves the legendary blade, unknowingly releasing the demon, who turns out to be a space pirate named Ryouko Hakubi. Furious at her long imprisonment, Ryouko attacks Tenchi, but he repels her assault with the sword, unlocking hidden powers within himself. Impressed by his unexpected strength, Ryouko decides to stay with him. This event triggers a series of other alien women joining Tenchi's household: Aeka Jurai Masaki, a proper princess from Jurai; her gentle younger sister, Sasami; Mihoshi Kuramitsu, a forgetful Galactic Police officer; and Washuu Hakubi, a caustic yet brilliant scientist. As Tenchi interacts with these five women, he starts to unravel the mysteries surrounding his family history, his newfound abilities, and the impending cosmic danger threatening their world.
