The action gets cr-ay-zee this episode. Guard your daughters and lock up your livestock as Kagato Attacks!
| Tenchi: When did I become a carrot farmer? Oh yeah, when Ryo-ohki joined the household. | |
| Ryo-ohki: Meow meoow! (Translation: “Damn right, lowly human. Now get back to work. More carrots, damn you!”) | |
| Ryoko: Hey Aeka, come share a drink with me. | |
| Aeka: Oh, alright. We might as well have some sort of bonding moment now so our comradeship will make sense later on. | |
| Ryoko: And I can tell everyone about what Tenchi was like as a little boy. The girls in the audience will eat that stuff up like Ryo-ohki devours carrots. | |
| Aeka: You’re still an old monster, though. I’m so youthful by comparison, if comparing thousands to mere hundreds of years is a fair comparison. | |
| Ryoko: So much for the bonding moment. Waaaah! | |
| Mihoshi: May I barge in? | |
| Ryoko/Aeka: No. | |
| *time passes* | |
| Mihoshi: …and I know now that it was destiny that dropped me into Tenchi’s arms that day! | |
| Ryoko/Aeka: … | |
| Sasami: Whoah, it reeks in here! Did you guys _swim_ in the sake or just drink a barrelful of it? | |
| Ryo-ohki: Mrow, meow! (Translation: “Heads up, playtime’s over!”) | |
| Kagato: I’ve found you, Ryoko. *zap!* | |
| Ryoko: Augh! | |
| *flash* *crash* | |
| Mihoshi: According to the blinking light on my bracelet, we’re dealing with the criminal known as Kagato! | |
| Kagato: Thank you, Miss Exposition. Come, all, and bask in the glow of my evilness. | |
| Mihoshi: On behalf of the moon, I shall punish you! *bang* *bang* | |
| Kagato: Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! I mock your authority. Ha ha ha! | |
| Mihoshi: Mwah! *click* *click* | |
| Kagato: Let’s go to my place, the Souja. Ha ha ha! And “get to know” one another. Ha ha ha! | |
| Tenchi: Back off, scuzball. | |
| Kagato: Put the King’s sword away before you hurt yourself. Ha ha ha! Don’t you know if you do that too much you’ll go blind? Ha ha ha! | |
| Ryoko: Don’t give him the sword, Tenchi! | |
| Kagato: Well, well, what have we here? *zap* | |
| Ryoko: Urk! | |
| Kagato: Are you worthy of that sword? | |
| Tenchi: What kind of question is that? | |
| Kagato: I’ll repeat myself. Are you worthy of that sword? Let’s find out. | |
| *zap* *clang* *whoosh* *splash* *thud* | |
| Kagato: You suck, kid. I’ll just take that sword now– | |
| *flash* | |
| Grandfather: Are you playing with something that doesn’t belong to you? | |
| Kagato: I know you. Give me the secret of ultimate power! | |
| Grandfather: Bugger off. | |
| *slice* *parry* *cut* *leap* *thrust* *slice* *jab* | |
| Kagato: Nice moves. | |
| *zap* *zap* *zap* | |
| Grandfather: What a coward, using Ryoko as your shield. | |
| *jump* *slice* *zap* | |
| Tenchi: Help Ryoko, Grandfather! Don’t hurt her! | |
| *shield* *parry* *grab* *slice* *throw* | |
| Grandfather: Neener neener! I don’t have the sword now! | |
| Kagato: What are you, stupid? *grab* *ZAP!* OWWWW! Oh, the pain, the pain… | |
| Grandfather: Sucks to be you, paleface. | |
| Kagato: Fine. We’ll just take this battle elsewhere. And my dear puppet Ryoko is coming with me. *fade* | |
| Aeka: You’re my brother Yosho! | |
| Yosho: Well, duh. But since you insist, I’ll toss out some exposition about Juraiian dynastic succession. Happy now? | |
| Tenchi: So you’re Yosho, from the legend. | |
| Yosho: You’re almost as dense as she is. Yes, I’m Yosho, and that makes you Crown Prince of Jurai somehow. *shrug* Aeka, I didn’t realize you were hell-bent on marrying me. We still could if you like! | |
| Aeka: Feh! As if, old man! *kick* | |
| Yosho: Well, then marry Tenchi. He’s the right age and all that. Besides, you’re only cousins instead of half-siblings. | |
| Tenchi: Um. *blush* | |
| Aeka: Um. *blush* | |
| Mihoshi: This is so cute and touching and moving and stuff! Waaah! | |
| Ryo-ohki: Meow. (Translation: “Get a grip, bubblehead.”) | |
| Tenchi: Okay, I need to rescue Ryoko. | |
| Aeka: Does that mean we have to postpone the wedding? | |
| Yosho: The sword is yours, Tenchi. And you have a power as yet untapped. How I know this is anybody’s guess. | |
| Tenchi: Right. I understand. How I do so is anybody’s guess. | |
| *grab* *zap* *whoosh* | |
| Tenchi: Okay. Now how do we go into space and rescue Ryoko? | |
| Ryo-ohki: Meow mrow meoow! (Translation: “How easily you forget, silly boy.”) *transform* | |
| Tenchi: Well, that’ll work. | |
| Kagato: Here they come, hell-bent on rescuing the defective Ryoko. Laughable. | |
| Ryoko: I resemble that remark. | |
| Kagato: Ha ha ha! I’d stay and mock you some more, Ryoko, but I’m going to go prepare a warm welcome for our guests. Ha ha ha! | |
| Ryoko: Kagato, if you hurt Tenchi I am SO VERY going to kick your ass from here to Jurai and back. | |
| *zap* *pow* *boom!* *crash* | |
| Kagato: I built that ship, it can’t do anything that would surprise me. | |
| Mihoshi: Hmm, what does THIS do? | |
| Kagato: Wha–? I’m so surprised! It must be the boy’s sword. | |
| Mihoshi: *hiccup* Getting drunk with the computer unit seemed like the thing to do… *hiccup* | |
| Tenchi: Well, this sucks. How about I go to your part of the ship and attack? | |
| Aeka: Sure, why not? | |
| *teleport* | |
| Aeka: Now open the Light Hawk Wings ™. | |
| Tenchi: The what? | |
| Aeka: The special Jurai plot device. You’ll be seeing a lot of them for a while. For now just know that it’s a shield we use on Jurai ships. | |
| Tenchi: Whatever! Just tell me what to do. | |
| *Light Hawk Wings ™* | |
| Kagato: Oooo, pretty. | |
| Tenchi: AAAAAAAAA! | |
| *megazap* *megablast* *megaboom* | |
| Kagato: Mwaahahahahahahaha! | |
| Aeka: Tenchi? Tenchi? Tenchi! Tenchi? Tenchi? | |
| Ryoko: Aaargh! *shatter* Tenchi? Tenchi? Tenchi! Tenchi? *sob* Kagato… prepare for an asskicking the likes of which God has never seen. | |
