This film was originally released in Japan in 2 August 1997 as a double feature, along with Slayers Great.

[edit] Synopsis
Prince Yosho meets a young girl before the annual Startica celebration on Jurai. However, it turns out that the girl is actually a demon named Yuzuha and was driven away by the palace guards.
Seven hundred years later, Yuzuha discovers that Yosho is now on Earth... and has a grandson - Tenchi Masaki - who is surrounded by all sorts of women. Looking for revenge, the demon obtains hair from Tenchi, during a Christmas celebration and combines it with hair from herself and creates a girl named Mayuka.
Six months later during summer; the usual situations are taking place with the women fighting. Tenchi goes to clean his mother's gravestone, when he is met by Mayuka, who called Tenchi "Papa" ("Daddy" in the English dub). Confused, and knowing not else what to do, Tenchi takes her back to the shrine to stay with the others, until a solution can be had.
