#DUPE# (1992–…): Season 2, Episode 24 - No Need for Ryoko! - full transcript

Ryoko and Katsuhito are too wounded to fight, so Tenchi decides to face his destiny by challenging Kagato!

Tenchi!

Ayeka!

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.

Ryoko, you'll be fine.



Is he going to be all right?
Is he gonna make it?

I don't know yet.

Come on, Grandpa.

Get ahold of yourself.

We have to pay a visit to
Jurai's royal palace now!

But, Washu, I can't...

And listen to me!

There is no need to be discouraged.

I'm dying to see Kagato dead.

And for that, I'm counting on you, Tenchi.

No, I can't.

Not even Grandpa was a match for him.

And, besides, I don't possess this
Jurai power, he was talking about.

I say you can, Tenchi.
You doubt my judgment?



Huh?

I could feel it ever since I first saw you.

I knew you had great potential within you.

Since you were unaware of
your capability I wasn't 100% sure,

but now I can see it clearly.

Tenchi, you do have a force
surpassing that of your grandfather.

The Jurai... power.

Huh. It's a whole new game now.

What are you going to do... Tenchi?

All of Jurai's military is attacking us.

All ships ready to attack!

Your target is the old royal palace of Jurai.

Fire!

Hang on. I'm taking us
to the back of the palace.

It's Ken-Ohki!

Thanks very much, Nagi.

You just saved us.

Don't get the wrong idea.

The only reason you're here is because,
I don't want anybody else to take Ryoko's life.

Oh, I see.

Hmm. You've got a nice place here.

We don't have much to offer you,

but please make yourself
at home, won't you, Nagi?

Excuse me, but we're kind of in
the middle of something, ya know?

Well, really, it's no big deal.

We just have to sneak
into Jurai's royal palace

and do a little rescuing
of the princess, that's all.

Yeah. I see you've got
your hands full, don't you?

Here.

Would you like some tea?

Good.

Little girl, this tea is excellent.

Now, you are a professional.
Am I right about that?

Listen, Tenchi, whatever
happens from now on,

you stand firm and face your
destiny without fear, but with courage.

I won't let you down, Grandpa.

Are you going now, Tenchi?

Yeah.

You could die. You know that?

Possibly.

Tenchi, you should choose me!

- Forget Ayeka, can't you?
- Huh?

You and I could leave right now, Tenchi.

We'd have no worries, just you and I together.

Ryoko...

Sort of like a honeymoon in
deep space, ya know what I mean?

It would be... fun.

It sounds fun.

Huh?

I'd love to...

Well, then...

I'm a space pirate and a powerful one!

I could just steal you away if I wanted to.

Oh! Don't go, Tenchi!

Please... don't, I beg you.

I can't bear the thought of losing you.

Don't go. Don't go.

But I won't forsake Ayeka. I can't do that.

Tenchi...

And you see, this is my battle as well now.

Tenchi!

I can give you a lift. Let me
help you. I know the way there.

What's up?

So you are going with him, aren't you?

I'm giving him a ride one way, that's all.

Is that all?

What about our fight, Ryoko, huh?

I haven't forgotten.

We can get it over with
right now, if you like, Nagi.

I thought so.

What do you think you're doing?

With a serious injury like that, you
may not even make it to the palace.

Shut up.

Do you want to fight with me now or not?

I don't take advantage of the wounded.

If that's your choice, then
I guess I'm going. You just wait here.

I'll catch you later.

Fool... good luck.

We'll take care of the main fleet.

You just concentrate on getting to the palace.

I got it.

I really don't know how long we can
keep them busy, Tenchi, but you know that.

The rest is going to be up to you.

Tenchi.

Don't you worry, Sasami.

I'll bring Ayeka back safely and
everything will be just fine, really.

I know it will.

Tenchi, I know your grandpa
has great faith in you, and so do I.

Dad.

You know we'll take good
care of Grandpa so you take care.

Yeah.

That's enough good-byes. Let's go.

All right.

Wish us luck.

Good luck and have fun, okay, Tenchi?

Okay. I think you better go
before things get a little too nasty.

I was just leaving.

Hmm.

Hmm. Yeah, I know.

Tenchi.

A message from the front line:

They've just spotted Ryo-Ohki
around the fourth defensive line.

Transfer fleet to that site immediately.

We've chased Ryo-Ohki
to the seventh satellite area.

They will intercept Ryo-Ohki in two minutes.

What? What?!

What is it?

It looks like there are two Ryo-Ohkis.

What? Impossible!

No. The first ship wasn't
Ryo-Ohki. It was its shadow.

Clever.

Looks like they fell for our trick.

We all have our own parts to play.

Right.

Well, thank goodness
that Nagi decided to help us.

Mm-hmm.

Now! Engines fire!

Now let's go, Ken-Ohki.

Come back alive, Ryoko.

Hey, Ryoko!

Ryoko?

Sorry for the delay.

Well, let's go.

Get out of my way!

Ryoko!

Oh, Tenchi, don't you worry about anything.

I swear I will make sure
you get to Jurai's royal palace.

Don't be a chicken, Ryo-Ohki.

We're not cowards.
Let's show them what we can do!

Go!

Oh. That's it.

So... we're here.

They're here.

From this point, you're on your own, Tenchi.

I hope you know I wasn't planning on
helping you rescue that other woman.

After all, I am a pirate.

Thank you, Ryoko.

You ain't got all day,
you know! You're wasting time!

We thank you for the escort.

Not even 1,000 knights
could match your spirit, Ryoko.

- Good-bye.
- Good-bye.

Tenchi...

Well, Ryo-Ohki, it seems like it's
just you and me again, all alone.

Mmm. It's been fun, though.

We've had a blast since we
fell on the Earth, haven't we?

I'm lonely.

I sound silly, don't I?

So where shall we go next?
What do you think, Ryo-Ohki?

Come if you may, you
young crown prince of Jurai.

Come to me and shed your blood of defeat.

Yosho and Kagato delight in the
darkness that divides the universe.

Now that you have the power
to overcome the light, Kagato,

what plan do you have in mind?

I don't know anything.

But one thing I know for sure

is that I will take Ayeka back
from you whatever the cost.

Next episode is: "No Need for a Showdown!"

It's unquestionably a great showdown!
