Ryoko and Tenchi From This Moment
Ryoko and Tenchi’s love story is probably my very favorite in the world. This video is full of great imagery and music is provided by Shania Twain’s From This Moment.
Here is a list of the better moments in this lovely fan video.
0:43 - 0:55 - Ryoko comes to save Tenchi from Haruna’s World
I return yet again
1:31 - 1:56 - Tenchi and Ryoko sharing private thoughts on a rooftop
2:11 - 2:16 - The one that brings a tear everytime. Ryoko comforts Tenchi as a little boy after the death of his mother. Ryoko has lived for hundreds of years in this storyline and she has been in love with and fated to love Tenchi for all time.
2:40 - 2:51 - Ryoko telling Tenchi to go and save Ayeka. She gave her life to help him get to Ayeka. She thought Tenchi had picked Ayeka to be with, but loves him so much she would die to see him happy.
3:11 - end - Ryoko saves Tenchi from Haruna’s artificial reality in a very symbolic piece of video. The last scene is that of Tenchi and Ryoko standing together at the lake by the Misaki Shrine. Again, very symbolic and images of beginning a life together are woven. In the movie, Tenchi Forever, the end titles roll here with Love Song ga Kikoeru as the end song. It is a song of goodbye and it is addressed to Ayeka as Tenchi has at last made his choice and Ryoko finally can cease being “The Lonely Moon”.
