Tenchi Universe - Volume 5 - Space I
The relative calm of the Masaki household is shattered when Kiyone gets a long-awaited promotion. She returns to Galactic Police Headquarters, hoping to get away from her disaster-prone partner, Mihoshi. Then Tenchi returns from school to find a ship from the planet Jurai has carried off not only his friends and relatives, but his house in Okayama as well!A coup has taken place on Jurai: the legendary warrior Yosho has returned and installed himself as emperor. He's captured all the other claimants to the throne, including Crown Princesses Ayeka and Sasami. His soldiers also seize Ryoko, the space pirate. With the aid of Washu, his grandfather, and Ryo-Ohki (who conveniently turns into a space ship), Tenchi rescues the three prisoners. When Kiyone and Mihoshi learn about the Jurai crisis, they're naturally drawn into the fray, and soon the gang is on the lam together. To buy more fuel, they set up a karaoke bar-clip joint on the planet Concor, while dodging the Jurai military, the Galactic Police, and the interstellar bounty hunter Nagi. As fans know and expect, whenever Tenchi and his friends appear, chaos and comedy are never far behind.Rated for ages 13 and up for cartoon violence and drinking.--Charles Solomon
