#DUPE# (1992–…): Season 2, Episode 23 - No Need for Karma! - full transcript

The fugitives seek refuge in some Juraian ruins, and Tenchi's grandfather does battle with an exiled warrior!

My name is Yosho, the man who
once deserted Jurai's royal family.

I am Azaka, a knight of Jurai.

And I am Kamidake.

And from now on, we
pledge our allegiance to you.

This planet is the place where
the Jurai imperial villa used to be.

Mmm.

And it's a perfect spot to hide for a
while from those who are after us, Ayeka.

These are the ruins of dreams past.

Somehow, that face looks familiar.

He has gentle eyes.

Aha! His eyes look just like yours, Tenchi.



Huh? You think so?

- That's the legendary warrior Yosho.
- Huh?

That's the statue of Yosho.

What?! So that's you
when you were young, father?

You sure were handsome. Wow!

Huh?

So that's Grandpa.

Look. It looks like there used
to be another statue over there.

Yeah! I wonder who it was.

Huh? I don't really know, Sasami.

That used to be a statue of a man
with the most amazing potential.

He was of noble birth, his family
tree being that of Jurai's royal family.

He was extraordinarily gifted,
both in swordsmanship and academics.

He was a wonderful man.



And it would have been he who
was praised as the legendary warrior...

...if only he had not allowed himself to
be changed so much by the Jurai power.

The incredible power that
belongs to Jurai's royal family,

the dominator of all galaxies.

The secret behind the family's absolute
strength lies in this Jurai power...

...the mysterious power given by the god,
the mightiest power in the universe

that denies any elucidation
by human intelligence.

That is the Jurai power.

The man became fascinated
and obsessed with the power.

He became a prisoner of it the power
being far too immense for him to resist.

And there was nothing
that could stop his ambition.

And then I battled with him and won.

After that, he vanished
into the darkness of space,

his name erased from Jurai's history.

It was then I decided to
leave Jurai never to return.

So that's the identity of our enemy.

Even though there is no proof...

Kagato...

Of course, I had no idea.

I never knew anything
happened like that on Jurai.

Well, I don't think Ayeka knew
either, Sasami. She's kinda shaken.

Here's your dinner, everyone!
Thanks for waiting!

What?! More carrots?!

Afraid so. It's the only food left, Washu.

I bought too many carrots.
What are ya gonna do? Life is like that.

I know Ryo-Ohki loves 'em...

Oh! That reminds me. Where is Ryo-Ohki?

Hmm?

Yeah. Where is she? She's probably
just playing around somewhere.

Ya know, I gotta say I kinda like
havin' dinner under the stars like this.

Don't you guys?

Yeah! This is like camping.

Hey, do you think we
should go get Tenchi and Ayeka?

Mihoshi, I think we should
just leave them alone for now.

You're probably right.

Hey, come on! Pay attention!
The fire's goin' out!

Ooh! No!

I really wish they'd cook faster.

Huh?

Tenchi?

Ayeka.

You seem very lost in thought.
What are you thinking about?

You're thinking about
your royal blood, aren't you?

I don't know. It's just so strange.

Only a while ago, I was just
an ordinary Earthling, ya know?

Just an ordinary high
school boy and nothing more.

Then, all of a sudden, I don't know...

Tenchi, I know it's difficult,
but I've enjoyed it all.

Huh?

From the time we left the
Earth chased by the Jurai forces...

in fact, ever since I arrived on the Earth
and started to live with you and your family...

I have been so very happy
enjoying every minute of life.

But I have always understood my duty
as the first princess of the planet Jurai.

And of course I knew that my happy holiday
would have to come to an end one day.

And, yes, I always knew I would eventually
have to say good-bye to you, Tenchi.

Ayeka...

Please listen, Tenchi!
Even though I am the first princess...

I am merely a member of
one of many branch families.

Now that it has been revealed
you are the direct descendant

of Jurai's royal family, it is you,
Tenchi, who should succeed the throne.

But, Ayeka, l...

If you do so, Tenchi, I can be near you.
Tenchi, I can be close to you always.

And the wish I've always had, the wish I'd
thought was impossible, might come true.

L-I can't help thinking that, Tenchi.

Forgive me... for pouring out my heart.

I knew you would come, Yosho.

Yes, I was certain you
would come here, Yosho.

And so it was you all along, Kagato.

I've waited so long for this
moment to meet you again.

Of course I wasn't dead, but you knew that.

All this time, I was in the
darkness of the universe

refining and strengthening my
Jurai power to the most extreme limit.

I've been thinking of you for a long, long time.

I must say, it's very nice to see you again.

I see you've aged, eh, Yosho?

I think I look pretty good for my age.

Just look at me.

The infinite power of youth
is completely mine to command.

Is that one of the powers you acquired
in the darkness of the universe?

Indeed, it is.

There is nothing Jurai's power cannot do.

So you've had a universal
facelift, is that it, Kagato?

Are you ready?

That's good. I can feel
your fighting spirit now.

Kagato, I have to make
you die once again, you know.

As the heir to the throne of
planet Jurai will your power win,

or will my power triumph amplified
by the darkness of the universe?

We shall see.

Take this.

You're still... quite good.

You're exactly like the old days,
but I'm not exactly like the old days.

Well, well. That's very impressive, Yosho.
Worthy of a legendary warrior.

I did warn you...

I am not the same as the old days.

I can see that.

In the darkness of the universe fighting a
fear and desperation worse than death itself

I would dream of this moment over and over,
dream of the moment I killed you, Yosho.

Kagato...

Kagato...

...at the time I slew you, I killed
myself as well. And now again.

Why must I face you in battle once again?

Forgive me, Kagato.

Huh?

Interesting.

You want us to kill each other
at the same time, don't you?

What was that?!

It's a tremendous energy, very close.

The Jurai power?

Probably. Yes.

Grandpa...

Hurry, Kamidake.

Right!

Well, that's too bad.

Looks like you're the only one to die today.

Why don't you go and visit hell this time?

You can go and take my place!

Huh?

You there, who are you?

Jurai's emperor and king!

You're not!

Yes. The mightiest and
last of all the Jurai kings.

That's who I am!

We'll see about that!

Huh? What?

You're fun to play with,
but I'm very busy right now.

Get lost.

Ryoko!

Ryoko...?

Grandpa!

You watch out, Tenchi.

This guy's no one to mess with.

Princess Ayeka.

Huh?

I'm glad you're here.

You're just in time to witness
the legendary warrior's destruction.

Not so fast.

Hmm?

You will have to destroy us first, Kagato.

Begone, you fools!

Azaka! Kamidake!

You will have to fight me now!

Silly boy.

I see.

You must stay back, Tenchi.

We'll take it from here!

Well, my boy, why don't you and
I choose another time and place to meet?

What?!

Ayeka!

Tenchi!

Ayeka!

Tenchi! Help me!

Oh, no!

Come back, Ayeka!

I will be waiting for you at the Jurai palace.

And I wish you luck
getting there in one piece.

You won't get away!

Ah... treacherous coward!

Please, Grandpa...

Grandpa, hang on.

Please, Grandpa, you must live!

Quickly! We have to help him!

Gotcha!

Here, Tenchi... take this.

What is it, Grandpa?

Sword Tenchi.

The magical sword that transforms
Jurai's power into a blade.

Sword Tenchi?

Tenchi, you are the only
one who can destroy Kagato.

Go, Tenchi.

It is all up to you now.

Tenchi, you should choose me!

Forget Ayeka.

What?

Don't go, Tenchi.

Please!

I beg you.

Ryoko.

I don't need anything else.

I just can't bear the thought of losing you.

Next episode is: "No Need for Ryoko!"

It's unquestionably true love.
