Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki: Galaxy Police Mihoshi's Space Adventure (commonly known as the "Mihoshi Special") is a special episode of the Tenchi Muyo! OAV series.

The special features the anime debut of Kiyone Makibi and Sasami's alter-ego, Pretty Sammy (the latter who made her debut in the Tenchi Muyo! drama CD, Tenchi Muyo! Special: Creation of the Universe Journey across Space-Time).

[edit] Synopsis

As usual, Mihoshi Kuramitsu was asleep on the deck of the house when everyone else (with the notable exception of Ryoko) was doing chores. After Ayeka questions Mihoshi's qualifications of being a Galaxy Policewoman, Mihoshi then tells the story of her and her partner Kiyone's greatest adventure... the "Ultra-Energy Matter" caper.

In the story, Mihoshi casts the Masaki household as the various characters in the story: Ryoko as the thief, Tenchi as a Galaxy Policeman, Ayeka as Tenchi's heiress fiancée, Sasami as an apprentice detective, Washu as a mad scientist (not a far stretch of the imagination), and Ryo-Ohki as... Ryo-Ohki. As the investigation progresses (not to mention romantic rivalies between "Ryoko" and "Ayeka"), the detectives stumble onto a plot to destroy the universe.
