Tenchi Universe season 1 episode 22, titled "No Need for Knights!", follows the gang as they participate in a medieval-themed role-playing game. The episode begins with Ryoko, Ayeka, Sasami, Mihoshi, Kiyone, and Tenchi all dressed up in costumes for the game. Ayeka and Sasami, taking the roles of princesses, are guarded by Ryoko and Tenchi playing as knights.
As they begin to play, it becomes clear that the game is not quite what they expected. The world they are in seems to be real and dangerous, with real knights and real weapons. The gang is soon confronted by a group of knights, led by an arrogant knight named Lord Herbert. Lord Herbert challenges Tenchi and Ryoko to a duel, and they accept, thinking it is part of the game.
During the fight, Tenchi is injured and Ryoko is defeated. The group realizes that the world they are in may not be a game after all. They are forced to retreat to a nearby village, where they meet a young girl named Mina. Mina tells them that the world they are in is part of a larger universe that is controlled by a powerful being named Z. Mina tells them that Z has created this world as a game, but it has become too real and dangerous.
Mina decides to help the gang, and leads them to a hidden cave where they meet a powerful wizard named Azaka. Azaka tells them that they must defeat Z if they hope to return to their own world. Azaka teaches them the magic they will need to challenge Z, and they set out on a quest to find Z's castle.
Along the way, they encounter many challenges and obstacles, but they never lose sight of their goal. They defeat dragons, fight off hordes of monsters, and overcome countless other obstacles. Finally, they reach Z's castle, and the ultimate battle begins.
The gang fights their way through Z's defenses, and finally confronts Z himself. Z is a powerful being, and it seems that they have no hope of defeating him. Mina realizes that they will never be able to defeat Z with brute force alone, and so she sacrifices herself to weaken Z's power.
With Mina's sacrifice, the gang is able to defeat Z and return to their own world. As they say their goodbyes and return to their normal lives, they reflect on the adventure they had, and how much they enjoyed playing the game.
Overall, "No Need for Knights!" is a thrilling episode full of action, adventure, and magic. The gang is taken on a wild journey through a fantasy world, and they learn important lessons about the power of friendship and teamwork along the way. The episode is a must-see for fans of Tenchi Universe, and is sure to leave viewers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end.
