This is a character sheet for the ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' series:
== The Main Characters ==
=== Tenchi Masaki {{spoiler|Jurai}} ===
The main hero of the franchise, who is always presented as an ordinary high school student that ends up surrounded by women lusting after him as he struggles through various hijinks, and doesn't usually have much personality beyond that apart from being a nice guy, being the reason as to why he's such a [[Chick Magnet]].
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: Tenchi did this {{spoiler|to Ryoko}} in ''Daughter of Darkness'', and {{spoiler|to Yugi}} in {{spoiler|the final episode of}} ''Tenchi in Tokyo''
* [[Author Avatar]]: Tenchi '''Masaki''' and '''Masaki''' Kajishima. It gets more obvious when you learn that the OVA is partly a showcase of Kajishima's personal harem fantasies. And the fact that the character essentially becomes {{spoiler|stronger than the Chousin who created the universe}} is a strong hint too.
* [[Bad Liar]]: Sakuya calls him this in episode 10 of ''Tenchi in Tokyo'', when he went on a date with Ryoko instead of her:
{{quote|
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: He rarely gets angry, but when he does...
** [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He's an average student with average grades {{spoiler|as well as a being stronger than the Universe's GODS!!!}}
* [[Brainwashed]]: Happens to him in an episode of ''Tenchi in Tokyo''
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He has his moments, and when he does his wit has some of the sharpest barbs in the series.
* [[Facial Markings]]: In his
* [[Flat Character]]: In most continuities, Tenchi just seems to exist as a [[Characters As Device|plot device]] to keep the girls together and [[Deus Ex Machina|beat the enemy with awesome power.]] It's not really his fault as we rarely get to see things from his perspective because once the female characters show up their competition for him pretty much takes over the spotlight until it's time for him to come in and save the day. Other than those moments he is a [[Butt Monkey]] who is [[Genre Savvy]] [[Medium Awareness|about being a]] [[Flat Character]], "Tenchi Muyo!" roughly means "No Need For Tenchi!" much to his chagrin. This is a bit more mitigated in ''[[Tenchi in Tokyo]]'' where he has a bit more of a personality, as well as ''[[Tenchi Universe]]''.
* [[Harem Hero]]
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: In ''[[Tenchi in Tokyo]]'', where he moves away from his [[Unwanted Harem]] so he can have a peaceful life away from them. Naturally, this doesn't help, and not just because of them stalking him.
Line 23 ⟶ 26:
* [[Nice Guy]]: Most of the time.
* [[Story-Breaker Power]]: [[Half the Man He Used To Be|As demonstrated by Z,]] not only can Tenchi create the [[Infinity+1 Sword|Light Hawk Wings,]] he can collapse whole dimensions solely by existing. Not to mention {{spoiler|[[Up to Eleven|he's stronger than the three beings who created the Multiverse.]]}} [[Boring Invincible Hero|So long, story conflict....]]
* [[Strong
* [[The Omnipotent]]
* [[Took a Level
* [[Unlucky Everydude]]
=== Ryoko ===
An aggressive [[Space Pirate]] ([[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|who often doesn't do much of anything pirate related]]) and flirt that is usually the first girl Tenchi meets. Is by for the most flirtatious of the girls and most the most hotheaded.
Is the most popular girl
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Largely in the 'Universe' and 'Tokyo' series.
** She's that in the OVAs too, but by the end of the second series she's largely out of her league, so she barely bothers anymore.
Line 42 ⟶ 45:
** [[Frothy Mugs of Water]]: In the Toonami-edited version, Ryoko's sake becomes "tea".
* [[Cry Cute]]: In the OVA, also sheds [[Manly Tears]], [[Tender Tears]], and [[Ocular Gushers]]. Come to think of it, she cries a lot, especially for an uber-[[Badass]] [[Space Pirate]] [[Physical God]](dess). Then again, considering the nature of her mother (see Washuu's [[Abusive Mom]] entry below), the fact that she was locked in a tomb for 700 years, and spent a good amount of time before that as a psychotic killing machine massacring millions if not billions for Kagato, her options were probably either tears or [[Stepford Smiler]]. Probably both.
* [[
** Subverted in the first episode of the ''Universe'' canon, where she just plays the part in order to get Tenchi and his folks on her side.
* [[Double Entendre]]: In the second OAV:
{{quote|
'''Tenchi''': Huh? (''grabs his groin'') No way! They're mine, and I'm gonna hang on to them!
'''Ryoko''': Oh, you numbskull, I meant the jewels on your sword! }}
* [[Exotic Eye Designs]]: He gets catlike eyes when he transforms into one.
* [[Facial Markings]]: While wearing her battlesuit.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: In the first few OVA episodes, before the audience learns where her affections lie.
* [[Iron Butt Monkey]]
* [[Jerkass]]: Generally, but Washuu, and mainly the merger with Zero, rehabilitated her remarkably quickly, so [[Jerk
* [[The Ladette]]
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Her first attempt at cooking created some kind of acidic pink froth that dissolved the stove - out of what appeared to be the ingredients for vegetable soup. Later incidents tone it down, but her cooking (which involved incidents like frying fish by hurling energy bolts at them) still gets divided between the things that turn out wrong and the things that nobody gets to try.
* [[New Powers
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Lovesick, half-android, hyperintelligent, immortal demi-goddess, [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien|alien]], drunkard layabout, bratty reformed space-pirate, child-soldier slave. To be honest, in-universe descriptions of her get very inclusive and vague. The Space and Time adventures make this even worse by selectively including and excluding various traits and associated names to suit whichever 'dimension' the characters are currently in.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: [[Mona Marshall]] replaced Petrea Burchard as Ryoko's new dubbed voice. Fans were less than pleased.
Line 63 ⟶ 66:
* [[Rape Is Ok When It Is Female On Male]]: Exaggeration, but her constant clinging to Tenchi often borders on sexual harassment.
** In the ''Mihoshi Special'' (a Tall Tale story Mihoshi told based on one of her cases, with the Tenchi-crew filling the closest roles of the participants), "Ryoko" ties Tenchi to her bed, proceeds to undress him, and was [[Attempted Rape|about to rape him]], but she was stopped by Pretty Sammy. This is ''somewhat'' averted though, although her sexual advances are [[Played for Laughs]] most of the other characters are ''not'' okay with them.
* [[Reality Warper]]{{context}}
* [[Sensual Spandex]]
* [[Space Pirate]]
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: In Tenchi In Tokyo.
* [[Technopath]]
* [[Troll]]: She ''so'' loves riling up Ayeka and messing with Tenchi's head.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: She became one with Zero, and could freely manipulate her body in extremely advanced fashions even before this, including duplication, phasing, regeneration, merging with inanimate matter, and so
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Cyan Hair]]
=== Ayeka Masaki Jurai ===
Princess of
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Barrier Warrior]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: She hates being called an old maid. But more than that, Ryoko ''always'' brings out the worst in her.
Line 82 ⟶ 85:
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: Though this is customary to Juraians, in her defense.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: In the OVA 3.
* [[
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Facial Markings]]: In her
* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: In the Japanese version.
* [[Onee-Sama]]: To Sasami.
* [[Sparkling Stream of Tears]]: In the final episode of ''Tenchi Universe''.
* [[Spell My Name
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Though not as much as some fanworks [[Character Exaggeration|exaggerate her as.]]
* [[The Ojou]]
* [[The Unfavorite]]: In the OVA continuity. It's not that bad, actually, but it's still Sasami who is Seto's darling.
* [[Whip It Good]]: In her [[Image Song]], "Call Me Princess!"
* [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask]]: Especially in ''Tenchi Universe'', where she shows genuine insecurities about her place and her duty within the Juraian royal family and considers herself as a mere puppet of them. Also see [[The Unfavorite]].
Line 98 ⟶ 101:
=== Sasami Masaki Jurai ===
[[File:1118537783586.jpg|thumb|250px]]
:Voice Actors: [[Chisa Yokoyama]] (Japanese), [[Sherry Lynn]] (English)
Ayeka's younger sister, who despite being the youngest girl is generally the most mature. Is always close friends with Ryo-Ohki.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Sasami include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Apotheosis]]}}: In the [[Backstory]] of ''[[Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki]]'' (but not any other version of the story), {{spoiler|the Juraian goddess Tsunami merged with Princess Sasami when the girl was critically injured in a fall; the result is a fusion where Sasami is the dominant personality, and will eventually ''become'' Tsunami when she grows up}}.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: As a GP Agent finds out the hard way.
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Mostly [[Flanderized]] away as time passes.
* [[Breakout Character]]: As the [[
* [[Cheerful Child]]
* [[Cute Bruiser]]
Line 117 ⟶ 122:
* [[That Man Is Dead|That Girl Is Dead]]: {{spoiler|She believes so in the OAV, since as a little girl she took an almost fatal fall and Tsunami had to fuse with her. Actually, she *did* survive but barely.}}
* [[Third Person Person]]: In the Japanese version.
* [[Token
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]
Line 123 ⟶ 128:
=== Mihoshi Kuramitsu ===
An extremely clumsy and idiotic police officer that tends to end up on chasing Ryoko. She is extremely stupid and has numerous runninggags revealing around he airheaded nature and clumsiness.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Ambiguous Disorder]]: She takes ditziness and awkwardness to unprecedented new heights.
* [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?]]: Played as a running gag in the manga and PC-FX games, as Mihoshi's addiction to soap operas made her mistake some of Tenchi's actions as if he wanted to elope with her or just rape her. The catch? Mihoshi was more than happy with the idea, much for Tenchi's puzzlement.
Line 141 ⟶ 146:
* [[Fun Personified]]
* [[Genius Ditz]]: or [[The Ditz]], depending on the series.
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Heavy Sleeper]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]/[[The Other Darrin]]: [[Rebecca Forstadt]] (AKA [[Robotech|Lynn Minmei]]) voiced her from ''Tenchi in Tokyo'' onwards.
Line 151 ⟶ 156:
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: Mihoshi seems strangely attached to Kiyone, and even Kiyone has her moments, especially in episode 6 of the Universe series.
* [[Satellite Character]]: In the ''Universe'' and ''Tokyo'' continuities, Mihoshi's whole purpose seems to revolve around hanging off Kiyone. Kiyone herself may fit to a lesser degree.
* [[
* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: In the OVA 1 she went from a ditzy but focused officer to a lazy fool that couldn't remember her own brother's name by the end of OVA 3.
** It was less that she couldn't remember his name and more that apparently her image of him is stuck on his teenaged self. He had to show a picture of him when he was younger for her to recognize him, but she recognizes other people from his crew with whom she has only occasionally interacted quite easily. Her backstory suggests her overall goofiness came about when a past [[Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?]] relationship went [[Horribly Wrong]] and she only survived with this much of her mind intact because she's Washu's descendant and has the luck to make a leprechaun jealous.
=== Washu Hakubi ===
A mad scientist with various origins throughout the franchise. Is fairly childish and prone to fights with Ryoko, though not as much as Ayeka. Her inventions defy laws of physics and can often serve as plot points due his irresponsibility or
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Abusive Parents|Abusive Mom]]: In the OVA (where she created Ryoko), she once straps Ryoko into an apparently escape-proof lab-table, turns off the lights and then runs off and hides. Ryoko is so afraid of being trapped alone in the dark that she starts crying and pleading for Washu to come back and rescue her. Washu is not only well aware of how badly this scares Ryoko, but is actually just around the corner, gleefully taping Ryoko's cries for "mommy".
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Washu really likes crabs.
* [[Brick Joke]]: When dealing with Dr. Clay and Zero.
{{quote|
'''Washuu (having replaced herself with a doll of herself)''': What are you doing with that? I didn't know Dr. Clay went for that sort of thing! If it's a present, I can put a ribbon on it!''' }}
** Later, when evading Dr. Clay's [[Combat Tentacles]] trap in exactly the same way...
{{quote|
'''Dr. Clay''': *growls*
'''Washuu''': If you give back Ryoko and leave Tenchi alone, I'll give it to you as a gift! But don't do anything indecent with it, ok? }}
* [[Broken Bird]]
* [[Compressed Hair]]: How does she get all that pink hair under that little green cap in episode 12, anyway?
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Even in her child form, she's capable of lifting a heavy chair and punching through solid concrete. In the manga, she even suplexes her [[Evil Counterpart]]. Would count as a [[Genius Bruiser]] if she was more muscular. But then again, [[Muscles Are Meaningless]] when you've got the power to shape the universe.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Had a diminished role in both the ''Tenchi Universe'' and ''Tenchi in Tokyo'' series, to the point where she barely had an impact in the second half of both shows until their respective finales.
* [[God Was My Co-Pilot]]
* [[Green Eyes]]
* [[Immortal Immaturity]]: For all of [[Hypocrite|her criticism]] of [[Adult Child|Ryoko]], it's clear on occasion that Washu's [[Jerkass|just as lacking in the maturity department if not
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: "No! I'm not gonna help you unless you call me Little Washu!" (Washu-Chan in the Japanese version).
* [[Jerk
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Especially in ''Tenchi Universe'', where it's [[Omnicidal Maniac|taken to new levels.]]
* [[Moment Killer]]: In the final episode of ''Tenchi in Tokyo''. Ryoko strangles her for ruining her moment.
* [[Naughty Nurse Outfit]]: In OAV 7 for her... experiments on Tenchi. And then [[Moment Killer|Mihoshi walks in the lab...]]
* [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]]: By her own words, she's created things from Ryoko to Souja, so she has a grasp of everything from genetics to engineering. She's also good at medicine if the infamous [[Hospital Hottie|
* [[The Omnipotent]]
* [[Rape Is OK When It Is Female On Male]]: See
* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]: Depending on the official artwork, her hair ranges from light pink to dark pink.
* [[She
* [[Shout-Out]]: Every once in a while, especially when she's trying to wheedle something out of someone, English-dub Washu copies [[Shirley Temple]]'s distinctive "pouty" voice.
* [[Super Intelligence]]
* [[Truly Single Parent]]: Of Ryoko,
=== Ryo-Ohki ===
A rabbit like alien with a cat's head and ears as long as her body that makes cat noises. As such fans refer to her as a cabbit. She is close friends with Sasami and eats nothing but carrots, and transforms into a space ship.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Person of Mass Destruction|Animal of Mass Destruction]]: Her ship form is often depicted as this.
* [[Big Eater]]: Tenchi often has a whole garden of carrots just so Ryo-Ohki can eat them.
Line 209 ⟶ 215:
=== Katsuhito Masaki{{spoiler|/Yosho Masaki Jurai}} ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Literally, depending on the continuity, anyway.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: he once copped a feel of Ryoko and quite enjoyed it...
Line 221 ⟶ 228:
=== Nobuyuki Masaki ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Bumbling Dad]]
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Less so in some versions.
* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: Was a cute [[
* {{spoiler|[[Older Than They Look]]: OAV continuity-only
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Subverted. He marries into the Masaki family (Achika/Kiyone was Katsuhito's only child) and took the surname so it wouldn't be extinguished, but he looks ''remarkably'' like his father-in-law. Katsuhito lampshades it in ''Tenchi Universe'' by saying no one would've guessed that Nobuyuki isn't related to him.
** Justified in the OVA continuity where, though he married into the Masaki family, he was the descendant of the wife Katsuhito married and then buried before marrying Airi. In other words, he is also a grandson/great-grandson of Katsuhito.
* [[Talking to Himself]]: [[Takeshi Aono]] also plays Yosho.
** [[Toshiyuki Morikawa]]: As a youngster, in [[The Movie]].
* [[Team Mom]]: Mostly in ''[[Tenchi Universe]]'' and ''[[Tenchi in Tokyo]]''.
=== Azaka and Kamidake ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass]]: In their Knight forms

* [[Wataru Takagi]]: Kamidake

=== Tsunami (OAV and Manga) ===
[[File:1126135980051.jpg|thumb|250px]]
:Voice Actors: [[Chisa Yokoyama]] (Japanese), [[Sherry Lynn]] (English)
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Tsunami include:}}
* [[The Omnipotent]]
* [[Only One Name]]
* [[She's All Grown Up]]: Sort of. {{spoiler|Sasami will grow up to <s>look like</s> be her.}}
* [[Talking to Himself|Talking To Herself]]: With Sasami in both the [[Chisa Yokoyama|Japanese]] and [[Sherry Lynn|English]] versions.
Line 251 ⟶ 264:
=== Tokimi (OAV) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Called the best fighter of the Choushin by her sisters themselves.
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: As a Chousin, she knows nothing about what is good and what is evil.
* [[Jerkass Gods]]: Heavily implied to be one of these by the end of OAV 2. {{spoiler|By the end of OAV 3, not so much. She honestly didn't expect that [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|ruining a guy's life and giving him phenomenal cosmic power could backfire horribly]]. She wasn't evil, just terribly naive.}}
* [[The Omnipotent]]
* [[Only One Name]]
* {{spoiler|[[Super-Deformed]]: Her appearance after she moves in with Tenchi.}}

* [[Worthy Opponent]]
Line 286 ⟶ 301:
=== Mitsuki (''Tenchi Universe'') ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Fair Cop]]
* [[Evil Redhead|Jerkass Redhead]]: She seemed to enjoy arresting Kiyone [[Smug Snake|a bit too much.]]
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: Reassigned to be [[Humiliation Conga|Kiyone and Mihoshi's assistant]] at the end of the series.
* [[Only One Name]]
* [[The Rival]]: To Kiyone.

* [[Gonk]]: There used to be a Gonk sub-trope named after his physical appearance; The Fat Guy With Big Lips And A Pimply Nose.
Line 308 ⟶ 328:
=== Sakuya Kumashiro (''Tenchi in Tokyo'') ===
A all round normal girl Tenchi's age that has no crazy personality traits that befriends Tenchi after he moves to Tokyo, so naturally he ends falling for her and she serves as his love interest for the series. {{spoiler|Late in the series it's revealed that she was created by Yugi as an ideal girlfriend for Tenchi to drive a wedge between him and the other characters so they will leave and take the crystals that can stop her that they have with them.}}
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Develops some traits of this, since she was created solely to love Tenchi.}}
* [[
* {{spoiler|[[Dying Moment of Awesome]]}}
* [[Green Eyes]]
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Sakuya has one when {{spoiler|she realizes that she has no memories of any family of her own.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: When Yugi locks Tenchi in a [[Lotus Eater Machine]] with Sakuya as a bait, she ultimately chooses to sacrifice the last bits of her existence and willpower to give Tenchi a [[Rousing Speech]] and send him back to reality so he can reunite with the girls and defeat Yugi. Easily her [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].}}

=== Noike Kamiki Jurai (''OAV 3'') ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Was told to be only a cover-up, but extra omake material has indeed confirmed the engagement as real.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Several things made by Mihoshi.
Line 347 ⟶ 369:
=== Minagi (manga) ===

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

=== Kiyone Masaki (OVA 3) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Mom]]: She did a lot of things according to the story she left for Tenchi. However it seems most of it was [[Blatant Lies|made up.]]
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|Amazingly Embarrassing Mom]]: When your mother creates an elaborate practical joke concerning her death and wills her relatives to read it aloud to you, she probably qualifies as this.
Line 361 ⟶ 387:
** She had some problems with her [[McGuffin|tree]], apparently, and without it even the Juraian nanotech treatments can get only that effective.
*** Unlike her father and sister, Kiyone didn't become bonded to a royal tree and may not have visited Jurai at all (considering Yosho was still considered MIA).
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
=== Misaki Masaki Jurai (OVA and Manga) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]: She's the [[All There in the Manual|chief of Emperor's bodyguards]], after all, and invariably snatches all martial arts championships which she can be bothered to enter.
** [[Action Girlfriend]]: To Azusa.
** [[Action Mom]]: Natch.
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|Amazingly Embarrassing Mom]]: More in Ayeka's POV than Sasami's, at least in the beginning.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't insult Ayeka or Sasami in front her.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Apparently thinks that her fling with Yosho ([[All There in the Manual|in the novels]]) is something absolutely normal. Her [[Magnificent Bastard|mother]] and husband emphatically disagree.
** And there's the fact that when she first sees Ryoko in the OVA, she mistakes her for Sasami. Repeat, she mistakes a well-known criminal for her kid daughter.
* {{spoiler|[[God Was My Co-Pilot]]:Or something in the same genre.}}
Line 377 ⟶ 405:
=== Funaho Masaki Jurai (OAV and Manga) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Hot Mom]]
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]]: Next to Tenchi, she's the most level headed of the group.
Line 383 ⟶ 413:
=== Azusa Masaki Jurai (OVA and Manga) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Akio Ohtsuka]]
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: In the manga, he wants to kill a boy who had just lifted Sasami's skirt.
* [[The Emperor]]
* [[Papa Wolf]]
Line 390 ⟶ 422:
=== Tennyo Masaki (OVA 3) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Cool Big Sis]]
* [[Flat Character]]: Doesn't get much characterization, as she appears only by the end of the third OVA, and doesn't get much exposure [[All There in the Manual|in the novels and doujinshis]] as well.
* [[Identical Grandson]]: Looks exactly like her mom. Who looks exactly like Airi [[Palette Swap|with white hair]].
Line 397 ⟶ 431:
=== Seto Kamiki Jurai (OVA 3) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]: To the point that [[Four-Star Badass|Utsutsumi]] often feels redundant.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[God Was My Co-Pilot]]: Is strongly implied to be the Washu's long-lost [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|best friend]] Naja Akara.
* [[Happily Adopted]]
* [[The High Queen]]: Princess, actually, but still...
* [[Hot Mom]]: And grandma too.
* [[It Amused Me]]: Apparently her main motivation.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Was found lost and amnesiac in space, and was adopted into the Kamiki family.
* [[Manipulative Bitch]]: Largely [[It Amused Me|for the lulz]]
* [[The Matchmaker]]: Her main hobby.
* [[One-Man Army|One-Woman Army]]: Just see what she's done with the pirates in GXP...
* [[Satellite Character]]: For all her importance in-story, she appears in the OVA only as a cameo and gets a bigger role only in the spinoffs.
* [[Sobriquet]] / [[Names to Run From Really Fast]]: ''Jurai no Onihime'', or ''Devil Princess'' of Jurai.
* [[Supreme Chef]]
* [[The Man Behind the Man|The Woman Behind The Man]]: It's her who is a true mover and shaker of the Juraian Empire.
=== Rhea Masaki (OVA 3) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Girl Next Door]]
* [[Parental Substitute]]: To Tenchi after Kiyone died.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]
* [[Wicked Stepmother]]: Averted with the extreme prejudice. She was so nice that Tenchi's memories of his mother actually latched to her rather than his real [[Cloudcuckoolander]] mom. And when [[Bumbling Dad|Nobuyuki]] really got around to marrying her, Tenchi was already all grown up anyway.
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: With flying colors.
=== Hiwa Takahashi (Manga) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''

=== Kagato (OAV 1 and ''Tenchi Universe'') ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Animal Motifs]]: It's more subtile than in Washu's or Clay's case, but OVA Kagato has a theme of snakes going on in his ship and even in his style of hair. The person whom he was based on, Naja, has a snake theme in her name.
* [[Badass]]: Both versions, but only the OVA version is a
** [[Cultured Badass]]
* [[Blood Knight]]: The Universe version is more interested in fighting Tenchi than conquering anything close to a universe.
* {{spoiler|[[Cain and Abel]]: With Yosho, in ''Tenchi Universe''.}}
* [[Complete Monster]]: The OVA version.
* [[Evil Is Stylish]]: Meticulously stylised to the last fingerglove, with the cape just right for dramatic flair, and appropriate organ music to set the tone. In fact, according to [[Word of God]] this part was a deliberate parody.
* [[Evilly Affable]]
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: He's a super genius to be sure, but he's also a very powerful combatant in his own right.
Line 453 ⟶ 495:
* [[Hermaphrodite]]: Originally, but split in female and male halves. One of the more strange revelations given by OVA 3.
** [[All There in the Manual]]: [[It Makes Sense in Context|Makes total sense if one reads the OVA canon novel detailing his backstory.]] {{spoiler|He started out as a clone of Washu's (presumably) dead best friend, Akara Naja, who [[Came Back Wrong]] and lacked Naja's playful and carefree personality. The Naja clone fused with a male Ryoko prototype, changed its name to Kagato, and the rest is history. So Kagato is the result of a female clone fusing with a male body.}} Of course, it would've been nice for OVA 3 to bring any of this up in some fashion...
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]:
** In the OAV, things get serious once he appears, and he represents the only real time Tenchi was at risk of dying. Clay and Z have brief moments of tension surrounding them, but they never make the same impression that Kagato did.
** His Universe version fits the trope even better. Things were fairly light hearted until he appeared... he cleanly defeats Tenchi's grandfather, kidnaps Ayeka, and gravely wounds Ryoko. From there, Tenchi is forced into a life or death struggle to rescue Ayeka and save Jurai. Azaka, Kamidake and Ryoko all seem to die [[Disney Death|but manage to recover.]]

=== Seiryo Tennan (OAV 2 & ''GXP'') ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Anti-Villain]]: He's really more petty and vain than evil.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: As shown in GXP, he's actually a 'very' competent swordsman, he's just a blithering idiot outside of that.
* [[Mitsuaki Madono]]
* [[Rose-Haired Girl|Rose Haired Man]]

* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: Of Misao and {{spoiler|Noike.}}
* [[
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: He is a higher dimensiona anomaly, which would give him limitless power by our measuring, despite that the Choushin rank far higher still. {{spoiler|He once destroyed most of the Earth and the Moon on a whim, but was going to rewrite time to undo the damage afterwards.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Power Gives You Wings]]}}
Line 513 ⟶ 565:

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: {{spoiler|He wanted to stop Tokimi from interfering and killing any more mortal civilisations, including his own parents, and intended to kill Tokimi, save Tenchi from the same fate he suffered, and undo all of the deaths he had caused, including Tenchi himself after he cut off the connection with his higher self.}}

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

Brainwash another Jurai official and have him instigate unrest on Ryuten? Check. Personally order your minions to kill the daughter of your rival? Check.
