== The Main Characters ==

Line 23:

* [[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 As They Need to Be|Strong as He Needs to Be]]: His power is confirmed by Z to work exactly like this. This applies to each [[Alternate Continuity]] as well in a meta sort of way for viewers who were around during ''Tenchi'''s run on ''[[Toonami]]''.

* [[Strong as They Need to Be|Strong as He Needs to Be]]: His power is confirmed by Z to work exactly like this. This applies to each [[Alternate Continuity]] as well in a meta sort of way for viewers who were around during ''Tenchi'''s run on ''[[Toonami]]''.

* [[The Omnipotent]]

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: In the second OVA and the ''Tokyo'' series, Tenchi grows somewhat more assertive in his personality and isn't as afraid to give the girls hell (especially Ryoko) when he feels they've crossed a line.

Line 52:

* [[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 ~~With~~ a Heart of Gold]] when we last see her.

* [[Jerkass]]: Generally, but Washuu, and mainly the merger with Zero, rehabilitated her remarkably quickly, so [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] when we last see her.

* [[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 As the Plot Demands]]: She can basically do anything within scale limits, including constructing extremely advanced inventions of her mother's design out of thin air.

* [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]]: She can basically do anything within scale limits, including constructing extremely advanced inventions of her mother's design out of thin air.

* [[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 83:

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: In the OVA 3.

* [[Distressed Damsel]]: [[Rule of Three|Three times in the manga.]] Once by [[Warrior Therapist|Yakage]], another by [[Space Pirate|Yataka]] and once again by [[Noble Demon|Garyu.]] In the series proper, she was kidnapped by Kagato in ''Tenchi Universe''.

* [[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Princesses]]

* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: In the Japanese version.

* [[Onee-Sama]]: To Sasami.

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Either "Ayeka" or "Aeka" (her original Japanese name) are acceptable.

* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Though not as much as some fanworks [[Character Exaggeration|exaggerate her as.]]

* [[The Ojou]]

Line 176:

* [[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 moreso]]--and not just because of her [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|youthful disguise.]]

* [[Insistent Terminology]]: "No! I'm not gonna help you unless you call me Little Washu!" (Washu-Chan in the Japanese version).

* [[Jerk ~~With~~ a Heart of Gold]]: Occasionally bordering on [[Jerkass]], but she is mostly a nice and caring, if very quirky, person.

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Occasionally bordering on [[Jerkass]], but she is mostly a nice and caring, if very quirky, person.

* [[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.

Line 317:

* [[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]].}}

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Mayumi Iizuka]] (AKA [[Pokémon (~~Anime~~)|Kasumi/Misty]]) voiced her in the Japanese version.

Line 325:

* [[Tomboyish Sidetails]]

* [[Third Option Love Interest]]: And watch the Ryoko and Ayeka [[Fan Dumb]] [[Die for Our Ship|froth at their mouths]]!

* {{spoiler|[[Tomato in ~~The~~ Mirror]]: She is Yugi's shadow, an extension of her body and soul. She didn't know it until Yugi came to reclaim her. And even if you hated her, [[Tear Jerker|it's not hard to feel]] [[Alas, Poor Scrappy|sorry for her]].}}

Line 417:

* [[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.

Line 487:

=== Mashisu Makibi (OVA 3) ===

* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: When you get your behind handed to you by a nine year old [[New Powers As the Plot Demands|who up to that point had no previous indication of her martial arts prowless]], you've pretty much sunk as far as you can go on the villain scale.
