If that boy is in your way,
eliminate him!
Episode 12
Zero Ryoko
Now that's cute.
Washu!
If I take you with me...
then I won't have to kill Tenchi!
What are you going to do with that?
Gonna take that to Dr. Clay?
I had no idea he was into that sort of thing.
If it's a gift, I can put a ribbon on it.
How did you know about all this?
I thought the link with you was cut for sure.
I guess the gems are real, aren't they?
I guess this is it.
You ready?
That's enough!
I will not allow any further violence in this house.
What?
Hey, that's my room!
Don't get in my way!
If you do, I will...
kill you!
Tenchi-sama!
Ryoko? What's up?
I-It's not what you think.
Tenchi-sama, watch out!
No!
No! It's not...
We're going after her, Ryo-Ohki!
Geez, just like that time with Kagato.
Will you come with me, Ayeka-dono?
She was awfully pitiful-looking,
so I guess I couldn't leave her.
Thank you.
Don't you think that copy has a better personality than the real one?
You may be right.
She is so meek and all.
Yeah!
Did you say that wasn't the real Ryoko?
That's not exactly what I said, but I did say something like that.
Then what about the real Ryoko?
Those gems were real,
so the real Ryoko is probably alive!
You're putting a trace on Ryoko, aren't you, Ryo-Ohki?
Huh? Battle energy reaction?
It's Mihoshi-san!
I wonder how she found them.
That girl is a genius.
Now, Washu-chan!
lf that's where Ryoko is a prisoner,
storm the place!
I'll find that bastard Dr. Clay.
Washu-chan!
Hang on a second there while I pinpoint his location.
Washu-chan, hurry up!
That Mihoshi really is hopeless.
There he is!
Tenchi-dono!
Huh?
I wish you would try thinking a little bit before you act, Tenchi-dono.
What shall we do now, Tenchi-sama?
First, we rescue Mihoshi-san.
No! No! No way!
Please help me!
What am I to do?
Looks like she's all right, I guess.
Get away from me, octopus!
That boy is pretty good for an Earthling.
But he doesn't look good enough...
for Washu to be so interested in him.
Well, at any rate,
there's no way they can get here.
That's why I told them to wait for a while.
W-Washu! How did you get here?!
You certainly look older, Dr. Clay.
Although that octopus head is just like in the old days.
You're just the same, Washu-kun.
Just like when we fought over the position of chairman of the academy.
After that, I was driven out of the academy.
Do you have any idea how I felt?
Now it's your turn to know how that feels!
It is my recommendation that you do not move, Washu-kun.
If you do, this entire ship will blow up along with your pet guinea pig,
and he'll be dead.
Not to mention...
that precious girl of yours.
Oh, well. It's a good thing it's not someone like Ayeka-dono.
By the way, what are those gems she was wearing?
Even Her Majesty couldn't figure them out...
which, frankly and honestly, surprises me.
I do not know that either.
They've been around since I was a little girl.
Oh, that is interesting.
By the way,
I was surprised to hear you call that boy a guinea pig.
I never heard a human called that.
What about him do you like?
He doesn't seem like especially worthwhile material.
Anyone as easy to trick as he must be a blockhead.
Oh, oops. Pardon me.
Actually, that's what I like about him.
Besides, just because I call him my guinea pig, doesn't necessarily mean...
that he's a research subject, does it?
Oh, seriously, this is some joke.
You're hilarious!
Hey, there.
I'm sure you didn't go to all this trouble...
just to talk about the old days, did you?
What do you want from me?
These past 20,000 years, I can't tell you how many times I thought...
that ever knowing you was the greatest misfortune of my life.
Old men are so full of grudges.
However, that's all coming to an end today.
The greatest misfortune of my life...
will become a goddess of good fortune.
Huh?
I meant you, Washu-kun.
Uh-huh.
"Uh-huh?"
Th-There's a place I'd like to take you.
Someone wants to meet you.
Ooh! Little girls turn you on!
What?
Just as I thought!
You're going to take me to some secret club...
and then do all kinds of things to my fresh, young body...
like that and like this.
And at the end, you're going to do something absolutely unspeakable.
Old age has a way of distorting how you express love.
I never said such things!
Well, I appreciate your feelings.
But I'm in love with someone else.
Stop your nonsense!
Besides, why would I be interested in something that I can't tell the front from the back?
Take a good look, you jerk!
S-Stop it!
The one who wants to see you is Tokimi-sama!
Huh?
Tokimi-sama?
Hah. Surprised you, didn't I?
It's the first time...
I've heard you call someone by a title.
Damn you!
So, who is this Tokimi?
Remember, I was locked up for the last 5,000 years.
I'm pretty sure I don't remember hearing that name while I was at the academy.
l can't remember a thing that happened over 20,000 years ago.
Come on, give me a hint.
You are still the little joker, aren't you?
You may not know her, but she knows you.
If you want to know, ask when you get there.
Damn it! Where could Ryoko be?
Tenchi-sama, didn't we come this way earlier?
Eh?
Tenchi-san!
How about we go this way?
Let's see.
What's happening, Tenchi-sama?
No! Damn it!
Tenchi-sama...
Something is wrong.
The structure of the passageway...
is completely different from the Galaxy Police's.
And I think that perhaps...
Perhaps what?
Perhaps we're trapped in here.
Yes! We are very locked up!
Oh, my. What are we going to do?
It's a problem.
By the way,
don't you want to know how I knew where to find you?
Fine. It's a long trip anyway.
We don't have to keep standing.
Why don't we sit down and talk?
Not only how you found the location of the bridge, but also how you found out about Zero.
I am interested in those.
I thought it was because of the gems,
but it seems I was wrong.
To tell you the truth,
I've never been detected in any kind of search.
I think you must have some tremendous system.
It's a simple story.
Did you know you have a habit of marking all your favorite things with your special logo?
What?
That's how I knew that the bridge was in the statue's head.
And this...
is your favorite, isn't it?
H-How did you get your hands on that?
S-Stop that!
Do you know how much trouble l went through to get that?
What should I do with this?
You don't mind that your brat will suffer, do you?
A-All right.
Washu!?
And I didn't forget to put the ribbon on.
All right. I'd like to get Tenchi-dono and Ryoko-chan back now.
In return, I'll give you this doll.
But don't do anything indecent with it, 'kay?
Don't move!
Z-Zero!
Where have you been?
Never mind.
You forgot to take Zero into account.
You're surprisingly simple-minded.
We'll see about that.
Hmph. You won't be able to keep up that attitude for lon-
I meant you too, Doctor.
What do you mean?
Please stop.
Don't get Tenchi-san involved anymore.
Unbelievable.
Even though a different memory was implanted,
complete and absolute obedience to me...
should be in the depth of her unconsciousness.
My guess is that it's because you made a perfect copy.
Zero, that is not your will!
The pseudo-personality that was planted in you is making you act like that.
If I erase that memory-
I don't want to erase them.
I want this memory and body.
I want to live as Ryoko.
You would betray me?
You're just...
You're just a marionette that I made!
I am Ryoko!
Enough!
Zero!
Tenchi-san.
Ryoko!
Clay! You bastard!
Everyone's making fun of me.
You haven't changed at all, have you?
This is why you were kicked out.
You're the one who stirred up those who were jealous of my talent...
in order to drive me out!
There's no one like that at the university.
The ones who don't love their work...
are the ones who are most hated!
What I love is perfection alone!
And my technology is perfect!
There can't be any defect in my work.
There can't be!
You octopus head!
Don't call me that!
You don't remember a thing from 20,000 years ago.
Didn't you say that?
I remember investigating your past a long time ago.
Let's see what your relationship with Tokimi-sama is by making a copy of your memory.
Hey, octopus, don't you know a woman's age and past are best kept secret?
I'm a scientist.
I can't stand leaving a mystery unsolved,
and the same applies to that gem.
I don't know anything about it.
I don't even know if it really exists or not.
Her very existence is impossible...
even though she was present right there in front of us.
It can't be!
How could this be?
Its functions should have been totally shut down.
Clay!
When this ship divides, the energy reactor of the main body of this ship...
will begin to implode.
If you want to stop it...
If you want to stop it, the statue over there is the control.
You better hurry or you won't make it.
This must be it.
Talk about bad taste!
This is a dummy!
Curse you!
Damn!
What's going on?
Tenchi-sama!
Mihoshi-san, are you all right?
Yes.
You saved me again.
I don't know how I can ever thank you.
Oh, dear. What could it be?
Let's see.
It says the flow of energy...
is concentrating on one point only!
Oh?
It means we're going to become a black hole!
Huh?!
Really?
This will be the first time I've ever come so close to one.
I'm sure it will be.
I've got to find a way...
to at least control this side of the ship.
Tenchi-san.
Ayeka-san.
I can't...
Washu!
You've ruined everything!
It's all your fault!
What?
The gravity constant of the space is changing.
But that's absurd!
What's that light?
The Light-Hawk Wings!
It's said they can only be caused by a Jurai ship!
But that's not a Jurai ship!
It's a person!
It's that boy!
The boy who can produce such a phenomenon is in the company of Washu.
If I take this information to Tokimi-sama...
Well then, I have to go and escort the prisoner.
Here!
What is this, Washu-san?
Just a little something for you to take care while away.
Oh, is that so?
I see.
I'll be sure to give it to the appropriate person.
All right, I'm leaving now.
Okay, bye now.
Yup!
Um, Washu-san...
Don't worry, I put a tube of glue in there, too.
I'm sorry I lied to you.
Ryoko.
Ryoko...
I wanted to be called that forever.
l only wish that time would stop.
But I'm not Ryo-
Come on, Tenchi-dono, hurry up!
What is it, Washu-chan?
Put Ryoko in that capsule.
Eh?
Ryoko is going back into one body.
But...
You see, it's not that easy to duplicate my masterpiece.
He took the trouble to divide her in two...
because he couldn't control the mind of a complete unit.
That's why I'm going to put them back together into one.
Okay?
I'm...
I'm so...
You big fat liar!
Do you have an objection, Ryoko-chan?
I can't believe you're making this kind of a decision about me.
l don't like it!
She's so embarrassing.
Embarrassing?
You mean it's embarrassing because she reminds you of yourself?
Or is it that you're really jealous of her?
She's honest about her feelings, isn't she?
Ryoko, that is the other you... the one with your true feelings.
And I bet you know that better than anyone, right?
Ryoko...
Ryoko, I won't force you if you really don't want it.
Good girl.
Damn you, Washu!
What is this energy?
Is it Washu?
No, it's Tsunami's doing?
That sword is capable of material conversion and yet it only has three blades.
I don't know.
You don't know?
By the way, there is not only Washu-sama...
but Lady Tsunami.
This dimension seems to be perfect for your purpose, after all.
By the way, what shall we do about Dr. Clay?
As I recall... this dimension is your jurisdiction.
Understood.
Oh, Tenchi-dono.
Um, Tenchi-sama shouldn't be back until evening.
So innocent.
Oh, my.
When will I ever get back to normal?
Though I sense you're nearby,
chika kuni ite mo anata no kokoro ni
近くにいてもあなたの心に
...I have no way of reaching you.
tado ritsuku michi doko ni mo nainone
辿りつく道 どこにもなぃのね
I just keep circling you...
chigau kidou wo mawari tsuzu keteru
違う動道を 廻り続けてる
...like the Moon does the Earth.
chikyuu to tsuki to ni totemo niterune
地球と月とに とても 似てるね
Though we have all the time in the world to touch,
tawamure temo doki ga sugi temo
戯れても 時が過ぎても
...our paths never intertwine.
futari sama yotte irudake
ふたり きまよっているだけ
I wish we could continue our silent dance...
aah kono mama damatte odotte imashou
ああこのまま黙って 踊っていましょう
...and not forget it until dawn breaks.
asaga kuru koro wasurete iiwa
朝がくる頃 忘れていいわ
I wish the brightness of my love...
mabushii kimochi wa afurete irukedo
まぶしぃ気持ちは 溢れて ぃるけど
...will give light to your night.
anata no yoru wo hon no sukoshi
あなたの夜を ほんの少し
Even if just a little.

照らすだけでいい
