There is nothing the girls enjoy more than living at the Masaki house, so they are understandably devastated when they learn that their beloved Tenchi will be moving to Tokyo for the next two years! And even as they try to adjust to this new arrangement, the gang remain blissfully unaware that deep in the darkness, a new and capricious evil is rising...

If Tenchi thought that going to Tokyo would give him some peace and quiet, then he was sadly mistaken, because thanks to Washu's inter-dimensional tunnel, the girls can come and visit any time! Nonetheless, Tenchi attempts to settle down into his new life, even forming a friendship with classmate Sakuya Kumashiro. Needless to say, Ryoko and Ayeka are not happy to see Tenchi getting so close to another girl, but when Sakuya enlists the help of the Love Knot Goddess to strengthen her relationship with Tenchi, they may not have any choice in the matter…
