Another idea....
Mihoshi goes back into the very very very distant past somehow
(either through the evil being's own power or by stealing one of
Washu's devices.). In the past, she encounters a young man who
is a decent well-mannered young man. Sensing he'll be a
formidable foe if left alone, she tells him about the great
power of Jurai and all it can do. Then causes a disaster to
befall him, forcing him onto a quest for this great power. As he
searches, the voice he's hearing (Mihoshi's) drives him deeper
and deeper into power madness.
The young man's name?...
...Kagato.
Hachi zero hachi ichi ni zero ni kiyu.
Uchu kaizoku, Ryoko-dono.
