Tenchi Muyo
Episode 1
"The resurrection of Ryoko"
Tenchi Masaki is a high
school student and is training to succeed his grandfather as caretaker
of the Masaki shrine. His grandfather, Katzuhito, has told him of the legend
of why the shrine was built. 700 years ago a demon came from the sky and
ravaged the countryside till a hero named Yosho arrived and finally defeated
it. Then he sealed the demon Ryoko away in a cave with a magic sword being
part of the seal. The Masaki shrine was built to watch over the seal. One
day, Tenchi's curiosity gets the best of him and he goes to investigate
the cave and the legend. He finds the sword and deep in the cave, he also
finds the mummified remains of what must have been the demon, which comes
to life and chases after Tenchi. Tenchi manages an escape and closes the
cave on his way out. Sometime later, at school Tenchi falls asleep during
recess and wakes up to find it is night and nobody is around, except a
beautiful woman who introduces herself as the demon Ryoko. A mummy no longer,
she tells Tenchi that it was cold and lonely in the cave and that she needs
to take out her frustration, on him. She goes after Tenchi with different
kinds of energy attacks and he manages to dodge them as she chases him
all through the school. When he is finally cornered, the sword that he
took from the cave activates and repels Ryoko's energy sword. It also takes
control Tenchi and slices Ryoko's hand off, taking from her the jewels
that are the source of her power. When Tenchi apologizes, Ryoko smiles,
regenerates her hand, and retreats. When Tenchi gets home, he finds Ryoko
in his room, waiting for him.
