(More customer reviews)These episodes fill out the Tenchi on Earth part of the series, and have all the best elements of a hilarious sitcom and touching drama. There are three episodes on this tape: "No Need for a Genius," "No Need for Memories," and "No Need for an Arch Rival."
The first episode is, of course, about Washu. It provides some of the reasons that Washu was banished to Earth in the first place (what are dimension oscillating bullets anyway?), and introduces her newest invention: Mecha Washu. Mecha Washu is a robot version of Washu designed to help with her experiments (and to take over the universe, of course), but Mihoshi screws the project up and the robot ends up with her brain. This episode is hilarious and it's worth the price of admission just to see Washu go to war against her own creation.
The second episode is a bit more serious, and shows a bit of Tenchi's past. It snows at Masaki shrine, and while there are a few moments of comedy, the episode focuses mostly on Katsuhito, Noboyuki, and Tenchi remembering the day that Tenchi's mother died. The flashbacks are very touching, and the episode includes a lot of foreshadowing as to Tenchi's fate. I ultimately wish that someone would explain how Tenchi's mother died, but I guess one can't have evrything.
The final episode on the tape is my personal favorite (mainly because I'm a huge Ryoko fan), and introduces Ryoko's arch rival Nagi. Nagi is a bounty hunter come for Ryoko, and she kidnaps Tenchi to lure Ryoko to Venus for a battle. The fight scene is great, and if you like Nagi, don't worry because she makes a few important appearances later in the series.

Chaos reigns in the Masaki household! First, Washu, the resident mad-scientist attempts to make an android genius modeled after herself, but Mihoshi adds her own touch and soon they find themselves in a life-and-death struggle with a maniacal mad-scientist mecha-air-head! Then, Ryoko's past comes back to haunt her when the top bounty hunter in the Galaxy, Naga, comes looking for Ryoko… It's a showdown old west style!
