The sinister Jurai mutant, Yugi, begins her assault on Earth. She ends the existence of Tenchi's girlfriend, Sakuya (who was just a projection), and freezes time. But her plans to turn Earth into her private empire/playground failed to consider the extraordinary power of the Masaki family members in their role as Guardians of the Planet. The mysterious crystal gems left to Tenchi by his mother are powerful enough to reunite the scattered family as they battle Yugi's agents. Ryoko dukes it out with the icy Hotsuma; Galaxy Patrol Agents Mihoshi and Kiyoni take on the sorcerer Tsugaru; Ayeka confronts the feline Matori. When gems are brought together, they fuse, giving Tenchi a deadly sword and the power to challenge Yugi. Instead of indulging in standard anime mayhem, director Nobuhiro Takamoto gives the adventure a surprise ending that's in keeping with the character's personalities and the lighthearted tone of the series. Of course, once Yugi ceases to be a menace, things return to (ab)normal at the Masaki household: the women from outer space fight over Tenchi, and new crises threaten to erupt at any moment--which is just what Tenchi fans want.

5.0 out of 5 stars The last of the Tenchi In Tokyo DVDs., June 19, 2004

By	Michael Valdivielso (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This DVD holds four episodes, giving the viewer a great ending to the story. As the family comes back together, they each and everyone show that trust and love can truly combine their skills and powers. Each minion of Yugi's is taken out of action and in the end, with the others' help, Tenchi goes after Yugi herself, armed with a sword made from all the crystals his mother left him. He must win because if Tenchi fails the Earth is doomed.
But if he kills Yugi he also kills her shadow, the girl he loves, Sakuya! The ending is somewhat of a surprise, but given Tenchi's nature, maybe it shouldn't of surprised me as much as it did.
I happen to really enjoy the fight between Ryoko and Hotsuma, and the final episode is both touching and very funny. I also happen to be a fan of Yugi, I really enjoyed her character, even if her fashion sense was a tad on the blah side.

5.0 out of 5 stars a nice wrap up to the new tenchi series, May 13, 2000

By	Susan (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tenchi in Tokyo: New Ending [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Ok, a lot of people don't like Tenchi in Tokyo (Shin Tenchi for you die hard otaku out there) and I can see why. It IS different tenchi fare) I however was one of the few who really enjoyed the story If you have liked the series so far you will LOVE the ending because everything finally comes together and you get to see who sakuya REALLY is. ^_^

5.0 out of 5 stars some of the most touching anime out there..., May 29, 2002

By	seb (Cincinnati, OH USA) - See all my reviews

Starting on this DVD, things start to get more serious. Sakuya realises she can't remember anything before she saw Tenchi. She gets very frightened and she won't let Tenchi do anything without her. Things keep building and the tension keeps growing... As I watched the end of episode 24, "Yugi's Shadow", I couldn't help but cry. This is one of the saddest anime episodes ever. "why did they have to do that??? i liked Sakuya so much!" This episode definetly knows how to rip your heart out. I don't think there is any sane human who can watch this episode and not feel strong emotions during the Tenchi and Sakuya flashback scene. At the last episode, Tenchi brings Yugi to justice -- but not the way you hoped he would. This final part of one of my favourite series really shows how much emotion can be evoked through animation.
