    What exactly did Kagato say in the Pioneer dub/sub?

:Maybe it is some kind of Excalibur: the key of the one who shall be king.

    "...Born when the world was young,
     When bird and beast and man were one
     And death was but a dream...."

    ^_^;

:After all, Youshou was the heir apparent. And considering that the juraians
:are strongly influenced by the space trees, Tenchi has (in a non-genealogic
:view) a strong claim to be the next ruler.

    I don't recall the original Japanese line by heart, but I think
    Kagato said something to the effect that only a king is worthy
    of the tenchiken, and not the "king's property".
