Tenchi Muyo! GXP: Difference between revisions

* '''Amane Kaunaq''' - The GP detective who accidentally scouted Seina , Amane is a former fashion model and [[The Ojou|daughter of one of the richer families in the galaxy]], who gave up her old life to become an [[Action Girl]] and [[The Ladette|Ladette]]. Yet another of Mihoshi's old partners.

* '''Seto Kamiki Jurai''' - Feared by most of the galaxy as the "Oni (Devil) Princess of Jurai", she's a high-ranking member of Jurai's royal family, [[The Man Behind the Man|The Woman Behind The Emperor]], and Tenchi's <s>great-grandmother</s> <s>great-great-great</s> <s> grandfather's grandmother</s> grandfather's stepmother's mother. She's infamous for her use and arguable mastery of both the [[Xanatos Gambit]] and [[Batman Gambit]], and also loves [[Jerkass|messing with people and their love lives for the lulz]]. She makes Seina her ''special'' friend early on...

* '''Elma''' - A [[Funny Animal|Wau]] [[Hot Scientist]] who often functions as Seina's nurse, and happens to have an interest in Seina, despite the species gap. {{spoiler|Elma is actually Ryoko (the one above) in disguise.}}

* '''Seiryo Tennan''' - A flashy, flamboyant man who serves as Seina's [[Sadist Teacher]] during his academy days. He's incredibly bitter about having "lost" a duel against Tenchi in the main OVA storyline, and as a result, has developed a particularly nasty [[Fantastic Racism|hatred for earthlings]]. Despite ostensibly being one of the "good guys" early on, he pulls a [[Face Heel Turn]] for the sake of his family's business after being kidnapped by pirates, and attempts to make himself into Seina's [[The Rival|Rival]] from then on.

* [[Betty and Veronica]] (Kiriko and Amane, with Ryoko B. as [[Third Option Love Interest]].)

* [[Berserk Button]] (Do '''NOT''' call Airi [[Oba-san]].)

* [[Big Bad]] (Da Ruma, leader of the Daruma Pirate Guild.)

* [[Big Fancy House]] (Amane's "second home"; later, the new home Seina's parents bought after he moved away.)

* [[Evolving Credits]]

** 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.

*** Not so strange, really. It would have been a bit [[Squick]] to have nude Neiges floating around. I don't think fans would have objected to Seto or Airi though. :3

* [[Expy]] (Fuku, as mentioned above. Alan, Cohen, and Barry are expies of a [[Yuppie Couple|Yuppie Trio]] from [[Super Dimension Fortress Macross]]. Most of the main cast are arguably Expies of Tenchi and his harem.)

* [[Heroic BSOD]] (Seina has this happen if somebody sticks a gun in his face.)

** Not always. When {{spoiler|Elma}} shoves a gun in his face, he keeps his wits about him.

** In the English dub, Seina is voiced by [[Tony Oliver]] ("[[Robotech|Rick Hunter]]", "[[Lupin III]]"). Elma is Rebecca Forstadt, a.k.a. Reba "[[Robotech|Minmei]]" West; Rebecca also voiced Mihoshi.

* [[Hijacked By Ganon]] (In a heroic variation, Seina is relieved of command of the ''Kamidake II'' during the raid on Da Ruma's hideout because Seto wanted to ruin the pirates ''personally''.)

* [[Hot Shounen Mom]] (Mitoto is Mihoshi's [[Hot Shounen Mom]], while Airi and Seto are Tenchi's Hot Shounen Grandma ('''<nowiki>* </nowiki>[[Berserk Button|a-HEM]]<nowiki>* </nowiki>''') and ''Great-Great-Grandma'', respectively.)

* [[Hot Springs Episode]] (All over the place.)

* [[Hyperspeed Escape]] (Epically subverted in the second episode, especially once they let Seina "drive".)

* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]

* [[Serial Escalation]]: (Mostly in regards to how much destiny well screw over/aid Seina in any give episode.)

* [[Shaggy Dog Story]] (Seiryo's quest for good luck charms in episode 18.)

** Played with in Seiryo's duel with Seina. It was single-stroke... [[Defeat By Modesty|in a roundabout way]].

* [[The Siege]] (Episode 13)

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]] {{spoiler|Ryoko Baluta}}

* [[Weakness Turns Her On]] - A possible explanation for Seina's harem.

** [[Mood Whiplash|And then everything goes back to normal]].

** The episode in which {{spoiler|it turns out that Erma is Ryoko Balta and was coerced into being sent to kill Seina}} also qualifies.
