Some time later at the first day of school, Tenchi oversleeps on the school roof and is attacked by a powerful woman, who identifies herself as the demon Ryoko.  After pretty much the destruction of his own school, Tenchi is eventually saved by the hilt of the sacred sword and cuts off Ryoko's hand, causing her destructive powers to go away.  Ryoko regenerates the hand and escapes.  Realizing that he could be blamed for the destruction of the school, Tenchi promptly leaves as well.  At his home, he finds the demon girl sleeping on his bed!  </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>My Two Cents:</B></I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#00FF33" FACE="Arial Black" ><I><B> </B></I></FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" >Obviously, all of the episodes dubbed by Pioneer came out great, so the only things I ever have to gripe about are the censorship issues in this episode.  Everything seemed fair and nothing made anything confusing. The only thing I really hated was the dialogue with Amagasaki.  That was one of the funniest scenes I ever saw or heard.  The dialogue in the beginning of that scene was slightly changed for reasons unknown.  Other than that, everything was fine and had purpose.  </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Cut: 11 seconds</B></I></div> <div> After Tenchi breaks the seal, branches that block the path to Ryoko's prison move out of the way.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Cut: 11 seconds</B></I></div> <div> After Tenchi makes the remark about doing as many chores for Katsuhito as he says, Tenchi leans back and the jewels on the sword hilt stop glowing.  Then for about two seconds the camera zooms back for a shot of Tenchi and the giant stone that fell earlier.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Voice Change:</B></I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Amagasaki's voice is changed.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Changed Dialogue</B></I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#00FF33" FACE="Arial Black" ><I><B>/</B></I></FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial Black" ><I><B>Cut: 19 seconds</B></I></FONT></div> <div> The whole conversation between Tenchi and Amagasaki is slightly changed because they had a different person do Amagasaki's voice in order to allow for a cut.  Strangely, the cut scene in this conversation went cleanly according to the tape I had recorded this episode on, which was on its first airing, but the most recent airing shows a messy cut (You can see Tenchi and Amagasaki for about a split second before the commercial break).</div> <bR> <div> <I>The Toonami Conversation:</I></div> <div> <I>Amagasaki: </I>So you didn't even get to meet any nice girls I guess.</div> <div> <I>Tenchi:</I> You think girls would come to a shabby shrine deep in the mountains?</div> <div> <I>Amagasaki: </I>Hmmm... guess not.</div> <div> <I>Tenchi:</I> Right.
