Description:
After a final digression in episode 20 for a bathing-beauty contest--which the bounty hunter Nagi unexpectedly wins--director Hiroshi Negishi returns to the main story line: the cast's flight from the mysterious usurper who occupies the imperial throne of Jurai. "No Need for a Checkpoint" exemplifies the inspired combination of sci-fi adventure and slapstick humor that makes the Tenchi series so popular. Arriving at a Jurai customs station, the gang tries to sneak past the authorities by disguising themselves as a school field trip, and Washu even provides bogus genetic data and retina patterns. Tenchi looks hilariously incongruous in a girls' school uniform and long braids. But no plan is foolproof when Mihoshi is around: she absentmindedly carries her Galactic Police gun and ID through a metal detector, setting off every alarm in the station. An uncle who helped Sasami when she was a child arranges their escape aboard Ryo-Ohki. The complications pile up in episode 22, as Tenchi's Grandfather leads everyone to the sacred tree where two legendary warriors lie sleeping until the royal family of Jurai requires their aid. Their names are curiously familiar to Tenchi fans: Azake and Kamidake. Rated 13 and up for alcohol use, sexual humor, and cartoon violence. --Charles Solomon
