* [[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]].

** 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.
