Tenchi Muyo! GXP: Difference between revisions

** It's actually the other way around: the third [[Tenchi Muyo!]] OVA was made a year after GXP, even though in story terms it takes place before. It looks as if one of the primary goals of the third [[Tenchi Muyo!]] OVA was to heal all the continuity changes made in GXP.

*** It's actually a really bizarre continuity nod. The Tenchi Muyo OVA 3 was planned well ahead of GXP, and those changes where included to hype up the third OVA.

* [[Cool Ship]] (The ''Mikagami, Kamidake'' and ''Kamidake II''. The ''Unko'' is an inversion of this trope, being decidedly uncool in every single possible way.)

* [[Cosmic Plaything]] (Seina)

* [[Cursed with Awesome]] (How Seina learns to view his luck.)

* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]] (The Kuramitsu family, who practically run the GP. Gyokuren, a lesser seen member of Seina's harem, is a Dark Skinned [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]].)

* [[Dirty Coward]] (Tarant.)

* [[Dirty Old Man]] (NB. Quite unusual behavior a [[Robot Buddy]]...)

** Neige has just ended 2 millenia as head of state of a theocracy. Which doesn't make her a princess, exactly, but close enough for government work.

* [[Cute Kitten|Everything's Cuter With Cat]][[Everythings Better With Bunnies|-Rabbits]] (Fuku and Ryo-Oh-Ki.)

** The opening credits show four silhouettes, The final three are obviously Aeka, Ryoko (Hakubi), and Tenchi, while the first is eventually revealed to be Neige in the episode that introduces her. Tenchi and co's silhouettes are revealed in the crossover episode. The ''Kamidake II'' appears at the end of the sequence after its introduction, and Neige, Fuku, and Ryoko are added to the [[Team Shot]] following Fuku's addition to the cast.

** The ending credits intially use an [[Idiosyncratic Wipes|Idiosyncratic Wipe]] which causes the background to change each time copies of Seina's trademark band-aid fill the screen. Halfway through the series, the band-aids are replaced with multiple Fukus. Nude images of Amane and Kiriko ([[Nipple-and-Dimed]] for your convenience, naturally) shown towards the end of the sequence are replaced with ones of Ryoko, and for some reason, Mitoto.

* [[Genius Ditz]] (Mitoto Kuramitsu, daughter of Minami and mother of Mihoshi and Misao. She's a bubbly, airheaded lady who has [[No Sense of Direction|as much navigational sense as Seina has luck]], but is ''frighteningly'' competent when it comes to spaceship systems and repelling pirates. She also is able to enter hyperspace ''on foot'', leading to her finding herself in the most ''interesting'' places.)

** She seems subject to quantum uncertainty when it comes to her location.

** Alan, Barry, and Cohen have a brief [[No Fourth Wall|Fourth Wall-breaking]] moment of this when one heads off on his own and the other two protest that he can't, because the three of them together comprise a single character.

* [[Gunship Rescue]] (Ryoko B. in episode 12.)

* [[Motor Mouth]] (Amane has her moments of this.)

* [[Ms. Fanservice]] (Amane)

* [[Nanomachines]] (Used on all GP members to give them [[Super Strength]], [[Super Speed]], a [[Healing Factor]], and [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|a dramatically extended lifespan]].)

* [[Non-Human Sidekick]] (Fuku, NB to a lesser extent.)

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]] (Pretty much every Juraian character shown. Neige trumps everyone else by being somewhere over two thousand years old.)

** Considering Tenchi's older sister is over 80 years old and his father is said to be 200 (due to the same treatment that Seina got), one has to wonder about Kiriko as well. A flashback shows that Seina ''remembers'' her being younger when he was very little, but who knows if his memories aren't colored by his assumptions and preconceptions?)

* [[Rebellious Princess]] (Amane ran away and joined the Galaxy Police to get away from the shadow of her overbearing father. He's still trying to get her to come home until the second half of the series.)

* [[Red Baron]] ("Lorelei" Seina)

* [[The Sweat Drop]]

* [[Those Two Guys]] (Kenneth and Rajau, Seina's pals during his stint at the academy are the initial set. They eventually get replaced by Alan, Barry, and Cohen, a trio of male bridge operators.)

* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: In the OVA, Seiryo was a slightly snobbish but reasonably respectful man who wanted to marry Princess Ayeka [[Arranged Marriage|with her father's approval even if she was very reluctant]]. In this show, he's a stalker and a racist with a sadistic attitude toward one of his students. He eventually {{spoiler|becomes one of the leaders of a crime syndicate that literally fights battles with the police force he used to be part of}}.

* [[Unexpected Successor]] (By gaining control of the Zinv-look-alike {{spoiler|which has a First Generation Juraian tree seed in it, Seina becomes third in line for the Juraian throne. However, because Tenchi and his grandfather do not really want to succeed the throne, this effectively puts him first.}}

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] (Tarant -- at first)

* [[Who Is This Guy Again?]] (Hakuren, Gyokuren, Suiren, and Karen are all very rarely referred to by name in-show.)

* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] (Tarant. He keeps trying to be a very, very dangerous foe. He keeps trying to cross the [[Moral Event Horizon]]. But this isn't that kind of show, so he's never allowed to be as evil as he wants to be.)

** He abused cabbits. That automatically makes him worse than Kagato in many fans' eyes.
