Tenchi Muyo!/Characters: Difference between revisions

 

=== 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:}}

 

=== 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.

 

 

=== Ayeka Masaki Jurai ===

Princess of Jurai that has fierce rivalry with Ryoko over Tenchi, among other things.

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

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:}}

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: As a GP Agent finds out the hard way.

* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Mostly [[Flanderized]] away as time passes.

 

=== 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:}}

* [[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 deus ex machina.

=== 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.

=== Kiyone Makibi (''Tenchi Universe'' and ''[[Tenchi in Tokyo]]'') ===

A space cop that has the misfortune of being partners with Mihoshi, whose clumsiness continuously ruins any chances of of a promotion as well as making her life a living hell.

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[Flanderization]]: She went from being a likable and generally sympathetic character in her early appearances to an overall [[Jerkass]] in ''Tench In Tokyo'' until about episode 20.

* [[The Not Love Interest]]: Notable in that she's one of the few female characters who is exceptionally close to Tenchi ''without'' ever becoming infatuated with him, which gives the two of them a special relationship sometimes bordering on [[Platonic Life Partners]].

* [[Tsundere]]

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Teal Hair]]

 

 

=== Achika Masaki (''Tenchi Muyo! in Love'' and ''Tenchi in Tokyo'') ===

* [[Hot Mom]]

 

=== 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.}}
