Line 8:
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]].
* [[Armor
* [[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| '''Sakuya''': I knew you'd be a terrible liar, Masaki.}}
* [[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.
Line 22:
* [[Missing Mom]]: Kiyone (not to be confused with Kiyone Makibi) in the OAV continuity, Achika in the ''Universe'' and ''Tokyo'' continuities.
* [[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
* [[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]]
Line 66:
* [[Sensual Spandex]] / [[Leotard of Power]]: Ryoko's black and red battle outfit.
* [[Space Pirate]]
* [[Super
* [[Technopath]]
* [[Troll]]
Line 80:
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: In ''Tenchi Universe'' she can border on this. In the OAV she is simply a case of [[The Fettered]]. Almost manically attempting to manage a genetically very bad temper through excessive politeness.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: In the manga.
* [[Brother
* [[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''.
* [[
* [[Facial Markings]]: In her Jurain battle armor.
* [[
* [[Onee
* [[Sparkling Stream of Tears]]: In the final episode of ''Tenchi Universe''.
* [[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 108:
* [[Dreaming of Things to Come]]
** [[Bad Dreams]]: {{spoiler|Because of Tsunami's influence on her}}
* [[God Was My Co
* [[Morality Pet]]: For the [[Big Bad]] in ''[[Tenchi in Tokyo]]''.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Sasami is the official [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Shy Blue
* [[Talking to Himself|Talking to Herself]]: With Tsunami in both the [[Chisa Yokoyama|Japanese]] and [[Sherry Lynn|English]] versions.
** {{spoiler|Also a bit of a meta-example, not only for fitting the trope itself but for fitting its title literally thanks to Sasami and Tsunami's [[Fusion Dance|fusion link]].}}
Line 117:
* [[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 Mini
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]
Line 127:
* [[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.
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Born Lucky]]: And ''how''! The laws of nature and causality bend around her to such an extreme that even higher-dimensional entities can't predict or do anything about her.
Line 134:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]
* [[Cute Clumsy Girl]]
* [[Dark
* [[Dumb Blonde]]: In some continuities. In the OAV she's more of a [[Genius Ditz]].
* [[Fair Cop]]
Line 143:
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Heavy Sleeper]]
* [[Hey
* [[Hyper Awareness]]
* [[Imagine Spot]]: In the manga, they tend to involve some ''very'' lewd fantasies with Tenchi, which leave Mihoshi blushing and drooling, much for everyone's confusion.
Line 149:
* [[The Millstone]]: Especially in ''[[Tenchi Universe]]''.
* [[Nice Girl]]
* [[Romantic Two
* [[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.
* [[Summers Family Tree]]: Is Washuu's great-great-granddaughter, and Ryoko's great-grandniece. Allegedly (might just be a rumour) also supposed to have a relative who married one of Tenchi's family members at some point.
* [[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 ===
Line 172:
* [[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
* [[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 moreso]]--and not just because of her [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|youthful disguise.]]
Line 183:
* [[The Omnipotent]]
* [[Rape Is OK When It Is Female On Male]]: See Night Nurse.
* [[Rose
* [[She Is All Grown Up]]: Looks like a teen girl, but has an adult form that is breathtakingly beautiful. {{spoiler|And her Goddess, which is essentially her adult form with a [[Pimped
* [[Super Intelligence]]
* [[Truly Single Parent]]: Of Ryoko, who she created using one of her eggs and the [http://tenchi.wikia.com/wiki/Mass Mass], a sentient alien species.
Line 214:
* [[Covert Pervert]]: he once copped a feel of Ryoko and quite enjoyed it...
** He also proposed that he and Ayeka get married anyway despite being an old man at the time {{spoiler|not really.}}
* [[
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]
* [[Retired Badass]]: Not entirely by his own decision, though. {{spoiler|Funaho (his tree, not his mother, mind you) apparently took root, and thus he cannot leave Earth anymore, because Juraian royalty is immortal only in the range of their trees.}} In the Universe version, it's because {{spoiler|of the guilt of killing his best friend, Kagato.}}
Line 253:
* [[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]]
Line 288:
* [[Fair Cop]]
* [[Evil Redhead|Jerkass Redhead]]: She seemed to enjoy arresting Kiyone [[Smug Snake|a bit too much.]]
* [[Laser
* [[Only One Name]]
* [[The Rival]]: To Kiyone.
Line 305:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: He is a recurring character in Tenchi in Tokyo.
* [[Gonk]]: There used to be a Gonk sub-trope named after his physical appearance; The Fat Guy With Big Lips And A Pimply Nose.
* [[One
=== Sakuya Kumashiro (''Tenchi in Tokyo'') ===
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
* [[Ordinary High School Student]]: {{spoiler|she at least appears to be at first.}}
* [[Proper Tights With a Skirt]]: Her winter uniform.
* [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]]
* {{spoiler|[[Really Dead Montage]]: The special end credits for episode 24}}, with her image song, "Kataomoi (Unrequited Love)" performed by her voice actress, [[Mayumi Iizuka]].
* [[Sparkling Stream of Tears]]
Line 331:
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]
* {{spoiler|[[Half
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: What's wrong with taking a bath with daddy?
* [[Kid From the Future]]: She shows up out of the blue one day calling Tenchi "Daddy" and forming a [[Laser Sword]] like Ryoko's, although she never explains any details, and Washu can't find the mother from her DNA. {{spoiler|Subverted -- she was created by Yuzuha, with no actual time travel involved.}}
Line 350:
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: After [[Defeat Means Friendship]].
* [[Only One Name]]
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Devoted to Yakage and his memory, even after he's dead.
=== Kiyone Masaki (OVA 3) ===
Line 361:
** 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
=== Misaki Masaki Jurai (OVA and Manga) ===
Line 371:
* [[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
* [[Hot Mom]]
* [[Mama Bear]]
Line 380:
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]]: Next to Tenchi, she's the most level headed of the group.
* [[Rei Sakuma]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
=== Azusa Masaki Jurai (OVA and Manga) ===
Line 394:
* [[Identical Grandson]]: Looks exactly like her mom. Who looks exactly like Airi [[Palette Swap|with white hair]].
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: She's 80 years old.
* [[White
=== Seto Kamiki Jurai (OVA 3) ===
* [[Action Girl]]: To the point that [[Four Star Badass|Utsutsumi]] often feels redundant.
* [[
* [[God Was My Co
* [[Happily Adopted]]
* [[The High Queen]]: Princess, actually, but still...
* [[Hot Mom]]: And grandma too.
* [[It Amused Me]]: Apparently her main motivation.
* [[Laser
* [[Manipulative Bitch]]: Largely [[It Amused Me|for the lulz]]
* [[The Matchmaker]]: Her main hobby.
* [[Names to Run From Really Fast]]: ''Jurai no Onihime'', or ''Devil Princess'' of Jurai.
* [[One
* [[Red Baron]]: See above.
* [[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.
Line 472:
=== Seiryo Tennan (OAV 2 & ''GXP'') ===
* [[Anti
* [[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
* [[Sissy Villain]]
* [[Unfortunate Names]]: ''Unko'', the name of Seiryo's ship. It was the only luck-based name that wasn't claimed already, it means "bringer of fortune". Which works really well for how it looks on paper. Unfortunately…it also means poop. More commonly, in fact. Which works [[Hilarity Ensues|really freaking terribly]] for actually speaking it aloud.
=== Misao Kuramitsu (OVA 3) ===
* [[Anti
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Is often mistaken for Mihoshi if one doesn't look closely enough.
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Say what you will about Clay, at least he was fairly effective when all was said and done. Misao is treated as a joke from his first appearance and it only gets worse from there.
Line 494:
=== Z (''OVA 3'') ===
* [[Affably Evil]]: From the way he speaks, you believe he's a good guy. {{spoiler|So does he, to some extent anyway.}}
* [[Anti
* [[Ax Crazy]]: {{spoiler|The death of his family}} drove him to attempt to kill the gods that created the universe.
* [[Badass|BADASS]]: [[Establishing Character Moment|His real entrance into the series has him blowing up an entire fleet that traveled through dimension space with just his Aura and floated back backwards waving high to the whale thing without breaking a sweat]]! {{spoiler|Also Blowing up A WHOLE HOLE OF THE EARTH, then reducing the moon to A LITERAL CRESCENT!}}
Line 504:
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Tenchi {{spoiler|As he has FIVE Light Hawk Wings}}.
* [[Evil Eye]]: A purple one.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: See [[Anti
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: Of Misao and {{spoiler|Noike.}}
* [[No Sell]]: To {{spoiler|Tenchi's powers by surrendering one of his wings for each power.}}
Line 514:
* {{spoiler|[[Too Powerful to Live]]}}: {{spoiler|Although Tokimi resurrected him, and his civilisation, and sent him back thousands of years into the past, to live his life normally with his family.}}
* [[Story Breaker Power]]: He could destroy entire planetary bodies, manipulate dimensions, negate Tenchi's abilities that curbstomped Kagato, and {{spoiler|by taxing himself to his limits even caused Tokimi pain}}. It took GOD {{spoiler|Tenchi}} himself to finally kill him.
* [[Well
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]
Line 535:
* [[Energy Being]]: Described as such.
* [[Hero Killer]]: {{spoiler|Tenchi tries fighting him and nearly dies}}
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Torturing Nobuyuki in front of Achika was [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|a bad idea]].
* [[Implacable Man]]: Gun lasers phase through him. Even Achika {{spoiler|using her full power and making mincemeat out of him}} can't destroy him, and in the end, he had to be hit with a Galaxy destroying cannon to finally kill him.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: He's mentioned to have rampaged across the universe and doesn't appear to have any motive his actions beyond simply being evil.
* [[Only One Name]] : Justified as he's a living mass of dark matter.
* [[One
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: It took the Juraian Emperor and the entire Galaxy Police fleet to capture him for the first time, and...
* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: At the start of the movie, and he breaks out and lays waist to an entire fleet that tried to stop him.
Line 555:
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[Big Bad]]: Of the second movie.
* [[Card
* [[Catgirl]]: or [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Bat Girl]]
* [[Child Eater]]: Turns them into diamonds to eat them.
* [[Dark Is Evil]]: Even turns into a female Chernabog in the climax.
* [[Dimension Lord|Dimension Queen]]
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: To Yosho - because his guards harmed her and called her names, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|she created a daughter with his grandson's DNA to rape him and take him to her own dimension and imagined Yosho as being a brat.]]
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Washu
* [[Hey
* [[Mad Scientist]]: She has a science kit that made Makuya with Tenchi's hair, {{spoiler|she's even more abusive to her than Washu was to Ryoko.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Offing the Offspring]]}}
* [[Only One Name]]
* [[One
* [[Playing the Victim Card]]: Part of her [[Moral Event Horizon]], and her relationship to Yosho.
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]
Line 578:
==== Voice Actors: [[Kikuko Inoue]] (Japanese), Debi Derryberry (English) ====
* [[Anti
* [[Big Bad]]: The least violent of the three movies' main ones.
* [[Broken Bird]]: Yosho took take of her till {{spoiler|she died}}.
Line 591:
=== Yakage ===
* [[Affably Evil]]
* [[Anti
* [[The Determinator]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]
Line 620:
=== Dark Washu ===
* [[Anti
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Look at the name]].

Line 631:
* [[Anime Hair]]
* {{spoiler|[[Anti
* {{spoiler|[[Artificial Human]]}}
* [[Big Bad]]: of ''Tenchi In Tokyo.''
Line 641:
* [[Dark Magical Girl]]: The rare [[Big Bad]] example.
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}
* [[Hey
** [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: This is her third time working with [[Ai Orikasa]] (Quatre) and [[Chisa Yokoyama]] (Noin).
* [[Morality Pet]]: Sasami is the only one she shows some affection to. {{spoiler|Towards the end, she even kidnaps Sasami so they can be together in their new world}}
Line 649:
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|"NOOOOO! I DON'T WANT TO BE BURIED ALIVE AGAAAAAAIIIIINNNN!!"}}
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: {{spoiler|Offers this to Sasami twice. Is rejected both times.}}
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Utterly terrified of darkness {{spoiler|since she was locked in a tomb for centuries.}}
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|Matori and Sakuya. The latter also doubles as a [[Moral Event Horizon]] due to cruelty potential that even rivals video gamers, but remarkably she becomes a rare example of someone who was able to cross back.}}
Line 655:
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Tsugaru.
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Hotsuma.
* [[Dark
* [[Facial Markings]]: Matori.
* [[Manipulative Bastard|Manipulative Bastards]]
Line 663:
* [[Smug Snake|Smug Snakes]]
* [[Wataru Takagi]]: Hotsuma
* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: Matori questions Yugi when she decides to {{spoiler|only capture Sasami instead of killing her}}, but Yugi gets pissed off at that and she has to comply.

* [[Yuriko Yamaguchi]]: Matori
Line 669:
=== Evil Kiyone (''Mihoshi Special'') ===
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Kiyone Makibi.
* [[One
* [[Whip It Good]]
