Title: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: Dr.Soviet on August 30, 2017, 12:14:48 AM
Yes you heard that right.

Kajishima said in his newest doujin that he is doing the storyboards for OVA 5 after the next GXP novel comes out in early 2018 and it will be starring Tenchi's children and Kenshi.

Also in the new -if- doujin Ryoko is very good at raising children.

Wow, it's actually happening?!?!

We're actually gonna see Tenchi's relationship actually move forward?! I know you said that he won't be the focus, but this is HUGE NEWS, considering that Tenchi is probably the first harem anime, and you almost never see things progress in these type of stories.

I've felt a little let down by OVA 4. Yes, it's full of easter eggs and backstory, but it's pure slice of life, and the focus has been solely about Nobuyuki's wedding. Now with the last episode of OVA 4, things are finally picking up steam.

Thanks all you Japanese Tenchi fans for making this possible!!  :bravo:

This is good news. I hope we get to see Tenchi's wedding at least. If I had to watch Nobuyuki's wedding twice, but then don't get to see Tenchi's I'll be upset.

My suggestion for OVA 5's title is  TENCHI MUYO: THE NEXT GENERATION.  OVA 5 seems to be a sequel to the Ryo-Ohki series.  OVA 5 can be the first OVA for TM: TNG.

Darn, I was really hoping the next Ova series would focus on Tenchi getting married and stuff, this is kind of random. I hope the last episode of Ova 4 is about that than, I'll be so disappointed if they don't show that stuff :(

It's been confirmed that the finale of OVA 4 is Kenshi's training before being sent to Geminar.  As I am about to say, I think Tenchi's wedding will without question be OVA 5 episode 1, and then they'll shift to Kenshi and the kids for the rest of the series.

100% agreed.  I don't think that we should panic, because I seriously believe that they will include Tenchi's wedding somehow.  Maybe episode 1 of OVA 5 will be Tenchi's wedding and then the rest of OVA 5 is the story for his kids.  Yeah, they might skip Tarrant attacking Tenchi and the girls, but there's no chance that they'll actually skip Tenchi's wedding.  Especially not when his kids are center stage in the new OVA.  No way.  Uh uh.  They're gonna show it.

to clarify this is what they will be skipping if they do this:
Tarrant attacks and has his ass handed to him
Mihoshi gets her brain fixed.
Tenchi finds out that if the choushin cant get him to the plain higher then him eventualy, in say a few billion millenia he will just be trapped forever in a complacently dead multiverse.
seto's memories of being naja get unlocked and her story is explained
Washu de ages ryoko and ryo ohki using bioroid bodies controled like D. because she wants to play mommy.
washu meets back up with her son and arranges for him to fake his death
a gap between cannon dimentions opens and noike cat fights kiyone to the death to decide who is best tenchi waifu just kidding checking to see if anyone read this list.
washu consults neiju over something we dont know about. (hence why she came to jurai on ryo ohki)
yosho and airi get de aged and work their marital issues out
ryo ohki visits jurai with neiju in tow for the first time.
Dr clay gets let out of his prison by the galaxy army and shank
Washu announces she is still alive, shortly after yosho's survival is announced thus all the tenchi family are publicly able to be married.

Lookie lookie what I found like Dr Soviet said Ryoko is good with kids in the new latest Doujin I Feel so bad for Ayeka it seems her kid likes Ryoko better.
Anyways I'm so excited for OVA 5 I really do hope they don't skip any important stuff since we have so many questions left unanswered.

Why can't they do two or three episodes deticated to these plots than the next focus on the kids. It just doesn't make sense for them to not resolve Tenchi's love life than boom oops Tenchi randomly has kids next Ova.

Guy who created Tenchi has to know how many years fans have been waiting for Tenchi to choose some one and for them to just gloss over it like nothing?! Come on man.

I hope they have more than four episodes this Ova.

I can't believe they are going to focus the last episode on Tenchi's family again, we already know what happens to him next :(

Definitely.  I mean, some of that can be skipped without affecting what OVA 5 is planned to be, but agreed, Based Fap (Who just got another +1 for this post from yours truly) noted some stuff that also needs to be in there.  I say that everything with Mihoshi, Washu, Yosho, and Airi needs to get talked about at minimum.  The stuff with Tarrant, Seto, Ryo-Ohki and Neiju, and Dr. Clay could be skipped in the OVAs (Perhaps an actual redo of GXP's anime without Nabeshin sticking his nose in is where we'll get that - remember, they're likely going to reveal plans for the anniversary soon and the 10th anniversary is when we got GXP and OVA 3) without harming the explanation as to how the wedding can happen in the first place.

Also, I legit chuckled at the Noike VS Kiyone matchup joke.  :)

MY LIST OF NAMES FOR FIRST SON AND FIRST DAUGHTERS

1. AYEKA-  First Son - Kazuki
                 First daughter-  Kiyone

  -Kiyone and Kazuki can be fraternal twins

2. RYOKO -  First daughter - Tenko
                  First son - Akira

3- MIHOSHI - First Daughter-  Miyuki
                     First son- Mikumo

4-  SASAMI-  First son -Utsutsumi
                    First daughter -  Funaho

5- NOKIE  -  First son - Yosho
                   First daughter-  Hotaru

6- WASHU-  First daughter-  Naja
                   First son -  Siena

7- RYO-OHKI-  First Daughter - Kasumi
                      First Son - Kojima

This is a list of tentative names for Tenchi's oldest sons and daughters.  I do like the ideal of the first children of Tenchi and Ayeka being fraternal twins.  Kazuki is name after his maternal grandfather's father.  Kiyone is name after Tenchi's mother.  I do want one of Tenchi's daughters to be name Kiyone as a way for Tenchi to honor his mother.   For Tenchi's and Ryoko's first son, Akira is a good name. For Akira means Devil.

Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: takahata on September 05, 2017, 03:53:10 PM
In my OVA topic, I point out that I want OVA 5 to be a sequel to the Ryo-Ohki OVA 1-4 series.  Dr. Soviet announces that Masaki is planning for OVA 5 to focus on Tenchi's children and Kenshi.  Masaki has a chance to do something very unique for a harem series.  Make the female protagonist into the main protagonist.  If Tenchi's oldest child is a girl, she will likely be a minor problem as the main protagonist.  My ideal for the female protagonist to be the main protagonist is for her to be the first fiancee of Tenchi's oldest son.  Tenchi's oldest son is still the male protagonist.

Until more information about Masaki Kajishima's plans for OVA 5 is given,  my ideal for OVA 5's main protagonist to be a female is my own ideal.  Having a female as the main protagonist of a harem series is very tricky. 

So, all I  expect from OVA 5 is for the name of Tenchi's oldest daughter to be Kiyone.  Tenchi will name his first daughter Kiyone as a way to honor his mother Kiyone.

:how: :rwhy:

Post by: Eboshi on September 08, 2017, 07:43:00 AM
Kajishima said the OVA5 is planning but it is Uncertain yet and can't know when it will start.
For OVA5, he will have to do tons of works as original author. On OVA4, he let some main works to others, it was because he got older. I expect Kajishima's OVA5, but it may be difficult for him.

Now I am waiting for the episode 4 of OVA4. OVA4 was a little boring but I am looking forward to the birth of Kenshi.
And I guess that important information will be written in future Doujin and GXP novel.

This is why I'm tempering my (already tempered by subject matter) excitement about OAV5: the uncertainty. Every anime seems to be an uphill battle for Kajishima.

Post by: Eboshi on September 15, 2017, 06:47:47 AM
I came up with another assumption about OVA5. I guessed the characters of "-IF-" who mentioned by Kajishima about the concept of OVA5 (on the Doujin of C92) were Tenchi's children. However, There is a possibility that they are characters of "-IF- 何かを育てるなんて小学校以来だ(仮)". If so, it is the birth of a new Kajishima's world, but I still want to see the stories of Tenchi, Seina and Kenshi.

Umm, Sorry for my poor English.

So what did Kajishima  actually say?

I translated part of Doujin's postscript released on C92.
"There are plans for OVA 5 or the sequel. Next year, after finishing writing a novel, I will start a scenario and a storyboard. As its work is huge, it is not clear when it will be released.
The main part of the story is the growth process of Kenshi. And it will be able to appear characters of "GXP", "Paradise War", "- IF -".
From next year I would like to shorten the interval of publication of GXP novels. And at C93, I'd like to put the characters I drew for social network games on Doujin."

-IF- was an interesting dou.  It had mostly focus on the relationships between some of Tenchi's daughters and some of Siena's sons.  I will expect that Tenchi had an older child before -IF-.  The child is likely Tenchi's oldest son.   The ideal of Ayeka and Ryoko having daughters at the same time is a very good one.  Kajishima have not name Tenchi's daughters and Siena's sons involved in -IF-. 

For my view for OVA 5,  I want the  series to focus on Tenchi's oldest son.  The GXP's novels will give some hints about will likely happen by the time of OVA 5.

I am curious about the GXP novels.  Can anyone help me to find where I can find any of the translations of the novels.

yeah i cleaned up volumes 1-4 the best i could but my "translating" is lazy and a mess and then the rest i quoted the highlights of the differences in two threads on here... after 4 it gets... besides ryoko balta fucking dying for 10 whole pages by being blown up by the police and dragged off in a body bag it stays alot of the same untill they go to earth, and then theres a whole cut episode in there where they go to imuim and are forced by seto to address the fact they have to get married and dont know seina ass well as they think they do.


for the most part though, the plot happens the same as the anime in alot of ways but with important changes and improvements that were intended but nabeshin cut.

like if ppl are going AIRI NO RAEPING! or amane and kirko fighting. for the 10000th time i can only stand to translate so much of the scenario. I really dont care for translating seiryo.

but all the lore i have made sure to note and translate.

I already saw Kenshi's growth process in the doujinshi! ;_; I'll still be eager to watch OAV5 but damn, I just want the "after the war" romance arc Kajishima teased back during OAV3's development.

i posted this in another thread

Quote from: Fap_fapperson on September 26, 2017, 07:51:01 PM
jibril kindly scanned the end page of the new doujin for me so i could translate



講談社刊 『Paradise war』 はGXPのその後、seinaが廉座から帰って来た後の話で す。


"Paradise War" published by Kodansha is the story After GXP, After Seina comes back from Renza.

他の小説家の方の著書扱いになっていますが、真Tenchiや GXPー巻と同様、共同執筆と なりますので、まだお読みでなければ、一度お手にとってみてください。まあ実際は 『真Tenchi Muyo外伝Paradise War』とした方が分かり易かったのかなあと思います。

i had another novelist co-author it because i was busy with true tenchi and GXP (faps notes: some guy names mizuki wrote it) I think it might have been easier for people to understand that if it was named: true tenchi muyo gaiden: Paradise war (faps note: gaiden = side story and gxp in japanise is true tenchi muyo gaiden: tenchi gxp)


Paradise warもいつも通り、ほぼ小説状態のプロットを書きましたが、ミロンは マジ、ヒロインにする予定ではありませんでした。それがまあ書き進める内にどんどん 存在感を増し、他のヒロイン候補を押しのけて中央にドンッと鎮座して居座ってしまいま した。半分はアーレアの悪食のせいです。あれがなければミロンのクルーザーが・・・・・・。と にかく主人公の近くに居座ってしまったが運の尽き、そもそも俺がああいうキャラ好きだ しね。しかたないよね? ただ本当にヒロインにするつもりはなかったのは、本当です。 コー地大錦土、いいけれど、こっちもアニメ化しこい*の"
I dont care to translate this basicly, oh well asusual i began writing paradise war with milon as the main heroin but as the others came into the story her role flattened out. or something like that heres the google translate:

As usual Paradise war wrote a plot of almost novel condition, but Miron was not planning to do it seriously, heroin. As it went on to write well, the presence increased steadily and pushed past other heroine candidates and settled down in the center. Half is due to Alea's bad food. If there is no such thing, Milon's cruiser .... Anyway, I stayed close to the main character, but my luck is gone, I guess I like kyara so much. It is not true that it just did not mean to truly make it a heroine. Koh Gejin Nishiki, good, but I want to make animation here *



今後の仕事についてですが、天地四期がこの後書きを書いている時点でほぼ終了です。

now to talk about my future works, the fourth part of tnechi muyo is almost finished as of the time of me writing this.

ー応、五期、続編の話はありますが、小説作業が終わってからなので、プロットを書ける のは来年、そこからシナリオ、コンテや設定とありますので、発売がどこになるかは未定 です。

The response to it was good so it seems were getting a 5th season, but it will have to wait until my novel work is over, there is scenereo and settings already made up (fap note: i think that's what this suggests may be wrong) so next year i will begin to write the plot, therefore it i am unsure when the actual release will be.

内容はKenshiの育成話が中心ですが、GXPキャラや今回のパラダイス・ウオー、時間 軸的には『天地無用|F』のキャラも出せるので、色々と楽しみではあります。

although the content will center on the kenshi's upbringing, Gxp Characters will be theer and Paradise war will be happening on the same time axis, tenchi muyo -if- characters can finally be used so i am looking forward to various things.

GXP小説は何とか来年頭を目標に、発刊ペースを元に戻したいと思ってますが、さすが に十五巻ほど分厚くはならないかと。

im thinking that the gxp novels are going to go back to their original release pace with the goal of out putting one a year for now but i wonder if they will all end up as thick as volume 15 if i do that (fap note: volume 15 is huge... i own it... its like 15 chapters and 500 pages. huge! usualy there like 200 pages)

それと冬コミですが、そろそろDMMの天地イラスト を説明文と共にまとめようかと思っています。

also im going to release a winter comic, but im thinking i will put together a compilation of the illustrations from the DMM (does he mean tenchi muyo bride ryouran that game from years ago?) with explanations for them.

今回の表紙に描いた大人版福ちゃんとか追 加する予定です。
I plan to add in the adult version of Fuku-chan drawn on this cover.

An ideal for OVA 5 involves the news of Katsuhito/Yosho being found after 700+ years since his disappearance.   OVA 4 gives a hint that Katsuhito may have a third daughter with Airi.  Katsuhito had stated that he has two daughters in space. The first daughter is Minaho.   There is only a slight chance of Katsuhito having a third daughter.

Kajishima had stated that OVA 5 will include Kenshi and Tenchi's children.  I don't like the ideal of OVA 5 being a prequel to War on Geminar.  OVA 5 can help us to understand what has happen between OVA 4 and War on Geminar.  OVA 5 must have a strong villain like Kagato and Dr. Clay. An ideal for the main villain is for the villain coming from the House of Amaki.  The House of Amaki is the main rival of the House of Masaki.  It is likely that the House of Amaki reason for being the rival of the House of Masaki is focus on merely challenging the house and King Azusa.  Lady Seto will not want an  unfriendly rivalry between two of the four Royal Houses of the Jurain Royal Family

One more ideal for OVA 5 can be focus on what had happen to Naja.  Also, there can be a reference to Masaki the sister of the first Jurain King.

I like the Amaki link in theory, depending on implementation could be real good. Classical Villans are not going to work but political ones might be more likely given that you cannot overpower the Masaki village militarily.

Masaki will be difficult because in one of the novels it states that Tenchi's son is the one who finds her again because he is a space archaeologist. So the time frame will not line up.

Yosho's "daughters" are Minaho and Tenyo. He is refering to Tenyo that way because she is his Grand-daughter. There is hopefully no unnamed new daughter because that would be awful storytelling

Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: takahata on January 29, 2018, 12:05:19 PM
The daughter in space whom Katsuhito may be referring to can be one of his three daughters with Kasumi.  I had assumed that Airi and Katsuhito had three daughters. Airi and Katsuhito had only two daughters Minaho and Kiyone.  It makes sense for Airi to have one daughter at a time. 

When it comes to OVA 5's antagonist being a member from the House of Amaki,  the person must be a rogue member.  Aware of Lady Seto's powers, she will not dare to have a hostile rivalry between two of the Four Houses.   The rivalry between the Amaki and the Masaki is a result of the need for one house having to challenge the present Jurain ruler King Azusa.  Even the Head of the House of Amaki is will try to avoid any unnecessary conflict with Jurai's most powerful person Lady Seto.

An ideal which  for OVA 5 is focus on the House of Amaki asking for a betrothal between one of the Amaki's daughters and  Katsuhtito's grandson Tenchi.  Unfortunately when it comes to political martial arrangements, Lady Seto was the one who had arranged a political marriage arrangement. Given the details of the first plans for OVA 5,  a political arrange marriage between the Amaki and the Masakii is not going to happen.  Still the series' villain coming from the House of Amaki can disclosed more about how the Jurain Royal Family works.

the end if the yosho novel they throw In that he had 3 daughters with kasumi before contacting airi. so minaho is the oldestt and presumably only one of the 5 to not marry I assume sense the masaki line is huge  no way it got that big with only two matriarchs. yeah no names released.  kiyone wasn't even really that old compared to the others. it would be cool for the amakis to be starting shit again. I'd actually really enjoy that.

He had 3 daughters with Kasumi, but it was 100 years before he got into contact with Jurai again. Some may have died of old age without space healthcare, or even modern earth healthcare. Though we know how old Kiyone was when she died, there's some murkiness about the natural lifespans of Yosho's kids.

Latest info on OVA 5 does stated that the series will take place before the events of TM: War on Geminar.  While I don't want OVA 5 to be a prelude to War on Geminar,  it can continue to be a sequel of Ryo-Ohki.  For OVA 5's main villain, a rogue member from the Jurain Royal House of Amaki will be all right.  My ideal for part of the plot on the present Head of the House of Amaki deciding on making a political marriage arrangement between one of his children and one of Tenchi's children.  We are aware of what will happen with most of Tenchi's daughters, and his only confirmed son.

The Head of the House of Amaki must be a heir to the previous Head. The present only wants to end the bitter rivalry between the Amaki and Masaki Houses.  He knows the importance on maintaining the rivalry between the two houses.  The Head will likely to  ask Lady Seto to help him.  Not all members of the House of Amaki can't support the present Head's plans to end the bitter rivalry between the House of Amaki and the House of Masaki.  A rogue member from the House of Amaki wants to prevent the Head from extending an Olive branch to King Azusa, and the House of Masaki.

OVA 5 can explore the politics between the Four Houses of the Jurain Royal Family.  Another ideal for one episode is for a visit to Earth by the ruler of the Seniwan Empire.  One of the main reasons for the ruler's visit to Earth is focus on strengthening the alliance and friendship between Jurai and The Seniwan Empire.

Interesting about the Amaki house politics being explored. But the Seniwa Empire head by the time of OAV 4 is Mikami Kuramitsu. Since she is in line to marry Seina in round 3 or 4, she will not need to visit Earth unless she wants some personal face time with the Yamamada Earth based clan.

The other problem will be that the time period between OAV 4 Episode 3 and 4 is going to be the Renza GXP arc and Paradise War.

OAV 5 needs to show Tenchi getting married or at least Seto setting the trap that snares Tenchi and the girls together. That closure is needed for the fans IMO

In one of the references about the Seniwan Empire, there is the likelihood of the Empire having a royal family.  Since the Kuramitsu Family is the most powerful family in the Empire,  the Emperor or Empress is somewhat like the Japanese Emperor.  The Japanese Emperor is merely a constitutional monarch like Queen Elizabeth II.  I do believed that the Kuramitsu Family does share power with the Seniwan Royal family.  Like King Azusa, the Seniwan Empress has more power than all of Earth's Constitutional Monarchs.

I have chosen the title Empress for the Seniwan monarch because King Azusa needs an opposite.

Post by: takahata on April 19, 2018, 03:14:12 PM
Before the first news of Masaki K's intentions for OVA 5 came out, I wonder if Tenchi finds himself with another fiancee. The only way for Tenchi to have another fiancee is a result of Tenchi being betrothed to one of the daughters of two of his parents' best friends.  The betrothal could have been a result of a promise which Tenchi's parents and their friends have when they were still either at the Galactic Academy, the GP Academy, or both.  Tenchi and his betrothed do have the right to end their betrothal if they chose to do it. Oddly the daughter who is Tenchi's betrothed is not willing to end the betrothal. 

Now, I am only expecting the OVA villain to be likely a rogue member from the Jurain Royal House of Amaki.  The rogue member wants to prevent the present Head of the House of Amaki from ending the long bitter rivalry between the Amaki House and the Masaki House. The present Head's plans are outline in my last reply.  The Head is aware of the need to maintain the rivalry between the Amaki and Masaki Houses.  The ideal of the main villain being from the House of Amaki is a way to further explore the politics of Jurai's Royal Court.  One of the causes of the bitter rivalry between the Amaki and Masaki Houses was strongly connected to how Azusa Masaki Jurai became King of Jurai.

no there will be no more brides, they  all got engaged in OVA 4 with that fabric, and seina's already had his second round of marriage and is stuck on earth post Renza arc, which means marriage round 2 has happened for him, and possibly for tenchi.


OVA5 will have some set up for Paradise war... which ends with them declaring the earth a sovereign nation of it's own.

The timeline for OVA 5 is set after the births of tenchi's first two daughters. The attached picture is my previous post sets the timeline.  The best clue is Sasami's school uniform.  For the school which Sasami is going to, it is likely she is grade 3 of Middle School.  Still, there is a chance that she is in Grade 1 of High School.

According to the timeline in Astronerdboy's blog, Sasami  was eight years old when she left Jurai with her older sister Ayeka. Sasami and Ayeka have arrived on Earth during September 1992.  Tenchi has just turn sixteen before Ayeka and Sasami had arrived on Earth.  Episode 2's time is after Tenchi's summer vacation. Because he had just turn sixteen, Tenchi had chosen to leave school due to a few major problems esp with Ryoko and Ayeka.

If Sasami was fifteen in -IF-,  she will be in Middle School.  The days of the births of Tenchi's first two daughters was likely sometime in the year 2000.  If the year was 2000, Kenshi is going to become a more mature and stronger for a boy of his age. 

The only thing which I want for OVA 5 is for to be a true sequel of Ryo-Ohki.  OVA 5 needs to center around some important events going around the year 2000 C.E.  One ideal for the series's main plot is focus on a visit to the Earth by the present Head of the Jurain Royal House of Amaki.  Of course, one of the reasons for the Head's visit to Earth is to arranged a marriage between one of his children and Tenchi's.

Since most of Tenchi's daughters are going to fall in love with most of Siena's sons,  Tenchi's oldest son and one of the Amaki Head's daughters are betrothed to be marry.  Oddly, OVA 5 can be a prequel of Tenchi Muyo: The Next Generation.  Tenchi and Washu do have a son whose destiny is connected to Masaki, the sister of the first Jurain King.

OVA 5 is  meant to be a sequel to the Tenchi Muyo: Ryo-Ohki OVA 1-4 series. OVA 4 was the last OVA in the Ryo-Ohki series.  Right now, the news of the plans for OVA 5 are limited.  One report of OVA 5 states that the series is sort of a prequel to War of Geminar. 

If there is going to be an OVA 5, it will be more likely to be a  possible sequel to Ryo-Ohki. A title for OVA 5 can be TENCHI MUYO: THE NEXT GENERATION OVA 1.  TM: THE NEXT GENERATION will focus on Tenchi's oldest son. Tenchi's only confirmed son is Washu's and Tenchi's son. 

The Masaki Kajishima -if- does give us a hint that there may be OVA 5.  Oddly, the image which I have included confirms  the year when Tenchi's first daughter was born. The essential clue to the year of the birth of Tenchi's and Ryoko's daughter is Sasami's school uniform.

For a name for Tenchi's first daughter, I want her name to be Kiyone.   Tenchi is likely going to name one of his daughters Kiyone as a way to honor his mother Kiyone.

It seems that OVA 5 is going to have 6 episodes, I assume this means it's already in the works if we know it's going to have 6 episodes but we should have more info soon enough.

Do we know how many episodes OVA 5 will have? If not how many episodes is everyone hoping for?

I'm hoping for the usual 6 that ends with Kenshi being sent to Geminar, with the bonus episode is everyone back on Earth monitoring his process on Geminar like that image showed in one of those doujins.

Tenchi Zin reported this from Comiket (he'd previously posted the two Kajishima-sensei doujinshi he purchased):

【朗報】天地OVA五期は6話構成で制作中

My "read' (Google translate) of this is that OVA 5 will have 6 episodes. And when I tweeted that out with the original post, Eboshi (a Japanese Tenchi fan who understands English) retweeted it, which I took as confirmation).

So it's going to be 6 episodes just like the first 3 OVAs (The additional episode that OVAs 1 and 3 got apiece notwithstanding)?  And it's gonna be based on Tenchi IF, which AIC previously refused to do in favor of Ai Tenchi back in 2014?

Oh you darn betcha this feels like good old fashioned KARMA given that AIC refused to use IF for the anime before but now they're going to.  Thank you for working your magic, based Kajishima.  I'm ready for this.  Let's go.  :D

The Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki OVA series had technically ended with OVA 4.  OVA 5 is going to be a sequel.  Most of OVA 5 is likely going to be mostly based around the events of -IF-.  Like OVA 1 and 2, OVA 5 needs a strong villain.  I will expect the first three episodes will focus mostly on humor and some drama.  The best candidate for the villain is a member of the House of Amaki.  The House of Amaki had a bitter rivalry with the House of Masaki. By the year 2000 C.E.,  the bitter rivalry between the two houses is coming  to an end.  The previous head of the Amaki House who is Amaki  Shuzen had decided to step down.  Shuzen's successor plans focus on ending the bitter rivalry. Shuzen's successor plans to continue the rivalry between the Amaki and Masaki Houses primary as a means for checks and balances. Of course, some members of the House of Amaki don't agree to the present Head's plans.

One of the Head of the Amaki House's plans to focus on a political arranged marriage between the Amaki and Masaki Houses.  Since King Azusa and his wives may have decided not to have any children, the Amaki Head must focus on Tenchi's children.  Since most of Tenchi's daughter are destined to have  relationships with  most of Seina's sons,  the child of Tenchi's who can be betroth is likely his oldest son.  Tenchi does have one confirmed son with Washu.

Like I have stated before in a previous reply, the villain being a member of the House of Amaki can give us an insight into the politics of the Jurain Royal Family.  Most of the politics within the Jurain Royal Family has change over time since Yosho, Ayeka, and Sasami had left Jurai.  Strangely by the year of the birth of Tenchi's first daughter, Jurai and the Galactic Union have learn that Yosho, Ayeka, and Sasami have been found.  I will suggest that OVA 5 can serve as a prelude to the events leading up to the Paradise Wars as well as a sequel of TM- Ryo-Ohki.

Not just Amaki, but every intelligence agency of any non-Jurain power in the galaxy. They were waiting for infighting to occur between House Amaki and the Emperor for hundreds of years to then launch their own territory grab; guess what kind of mobilization was coinciding with that?

I agreed with you.  The main villain can be working with others to resumed the bitter rivalry between the House of Amaki and King Azusa. The main  villain wants to discredit the present Head of the House of Amaki.  One of the objectives for the villains can focus on kidnapping Kenshi and Sasami.  Unfortunately, the villains are not aware of the fusion between Sasami and Tsunami. Another objective of the villains is focus on disclosing the truth about Airi's and Katsuhito's marriage.  Due to actions by the Black Window,  any news of Airi's and Katsuhito's marriage will only ruffle a few feathers.

The present Head of the Amaki House wants to expose the main villain.  Some members of the House of Amaki will be strongly oppose to a betrothal between one of the Head's children and one of Tenchi's children.  I will start focusing more on the Paradise Wars series.

Well... it's about to become June in Japan and still no news on OVA 5.  As far as I'm concerned, a delay of game penalty has officially been declared.

This is ridiculous.  AIC has made so many mistakes in the past 5 years with this franchise beginning with Ai Tenchi Muyo!, and as everyone knows, I have openly called them out every step of the way; you can look at some of my previous posts to see that, because yeah, I'm not going to talk about those mistakes again right now.  But the fact that they would resort to actual carrot dangling (Saying that something is going to happen and then holding back on it without any official statement noting that said something has been held up) shocks even me.  There's the whole honor thing going on with most businesses in Japan, and to think that AIC would say something and then not do it kinda defeats that purpose.

At this point, I truly believe that Kajishima seriously needs to consider finding another company to run the anime side of Tenchi as a franchise.  AIC has made too many mistakes for 5 years straight (The only thing they even remotely got right between 2014 and 2019 IMO is OVA 4) and now they've even resorted to carrot dangling.  I can't trust the franchise in their hands anymore after this screwup; call it the straw that broke the camel's back if you want, because that's what it is.  Perhaps Kajishima could consider some of the studios that have done the anime adaptations of other Fantasia Bunko franchises (Remember, Fantasia Bunko handles Tenchi's printed material such as the novels as has been pointed out before).

Quote from: WaitoKon on May 31, 2019, 09:41:50 PMIt would have to be another Japanese company and the sad thing is many in the anime industry are ex-AIC

Yup, exactly.  Whatever company Kajishima would potentially jump ship to being another Japanese company is a given detail there.  There are many other companies that he should consider working with instead of AIC from this point onward IMO, especially how they are acting right now.  As I said, referencing the companies that have done anime adaptations of other Fantasia Bunko franchises would be a good starting point.  And as I also said, I no longer trust AIC to handle the anime side of Tenchi.  Not after they actually went and promised us OVA 5 news for May back in March or April I think it was... only to not deliver on their promise (It's June in Japan now).  Hitting the fanbase with a straight up bait and switch and then "Look at this!  Wow!  IT'S @#$%ING NOTHING" is MUCH worse than what they did 5 years ago (Reminder, 5 years ago is when we had to deal with Ai Tenchi Muyo!, so yeah... you KNOW it's bad if the current situation is worse than even Ai).  The sad thing is that after OVA 4, I was actually thinking that AIC would treat the franchise with respect again... and then look where we are now.

EDIT Some additional thoughts.  While I'm still on the subject of Kajishima potentially letting another anime studio handle Tenchi (Whether he will or not is a different story, but I will once again say that he should at this point), I'll bring up one franchise that has already done just that, and did so in a way that worked.  And like Tenchi, its printed material is handled by Fantasia Bunko.  Yup, I'm talking about High School DxD.  Those who follow DxD like I do know that the first 3 seasons (The latter two of which were known as NEW and BorN) were handled by the same studio.  But then, BorN went and ended in a way that messed up the entire canon.  Do you know what happened for Season 4 (HERO) because of it?  Simple; they changed studios, and HERO even got an "episode 0" beforehand whose sole purpose was to quickly recap everything that happened in the first 3 seasons, and also show what SHOULD have happened in BorN episode 9, therefore correcting the canon in the process.

If this means that a studio change would result in Tenchi OVA 5 having a recap episode of some kind (Which if they follow what DxD did wouldn't have to change any of the story's events, but I could still see a recap episode of some kind happening) beforehand, I say go for it if Kajishima has the option.  And I truly feel that he should consider an escape route given that AIC literally lied through their teeth about the OVA 5 reveal.

But let's face it, things already HAVE become a nightmare for the franchise outta nowhere.  AIC is not in good financial standings right now (Hence the Kickstarters), the studio that handled OVA 4 went bankrupt last year, and AIC even went as far as lying through their teeth about the OVA 5 reveal happening in May... which it never did.  The former 2 situations are understandable, but the latter is what I am calling them out for and why I no longer trust the anime side of the franchise in their hands, because they didn't even bother to give a statement as to WHY the OVA 5 reveal never happened when they said it was going to.

TLDR If AIC had actually come out and said "oh, we can't do the reveal right now so hold on a bit longer", that would have been a different story.  In that case, they would have been, you know... ACTUALLY COMMUNICATING WITH THE FANBASE.  Something they actually bothered to do during OVA 4's run (I mean, they even announced the final episode's delay in a proper manner).  But they didn't, which means they willingly lied.  Hence my current reason for not trusting them.

Well... even if so, I'm sure Kajishima (Who created the Tenchi franchise don't forget) can somehow tell AIC "this isn't working, we're done" if he really wanted to bring it somewhere else.  Given what has been happening with the franchise between the Tenchi IF anime being declined in favor of letting Negishi throw Ai Tenchi Muyo! out there 5 years ago (Which may I remind you almost killed the franchise) and now AIC lying through their teeth about the OVA 5 reveal, I'm sure Kajishima has to be at least considering a "see ya, I'm going for greener pastures".  I mean, look at Naoko Takeuchi (Who created Sailor Moon) and how she tells Toei "if you change the story, it can't happen" all the time in relates to Sailor Moon adaptations as of late; if Takeuchi doesn't like it, she doesn't let it happen.  The franchise creators usually DO have say is what I'm trying to say here, and Takeuchi's a fine example of that.

But really, my point wasn't to start a debate as to who does or doesn't own the rights to Tenchi Muyo! as a franchise.  Honestly, it's not my area of expertise at all (All I know is that AIC handles the anime, Fantasia Bunko handles the printed material, and Kajishima is the creator of the original works).  My point is that I feel that Kajishima needs to somehow get it away from AIC after the horse manure they've been dragging Tenchi through lately between Ai Tenchi and then most recently actually lying through their teeth to the entire fanbase about OVA 5.  As I already said, the only thing AIC (Key word is AIC, not Kajishima; don't forget that the novels have been coming out consistently still and those are written by Kajishima) did even REMOTELY right in the past 5 years is OVA 4, and I stand by that statement.  I also stand by not trusting them with the future of the franchise after lying about the OVA 5 reveal and not putting any effort to say to the fans "hey, the reveal was held up for this reason or that reason".  They just don't care like Kajishima does and it's starting to really irritate me; I'm sure that I'm not the only fan who feels this way.

Another case in point as to being irritated in a similar way; Digimon.  Bandai Namco is willing to take it in so many different directions on the merchandise and video game side as of late (They did so many awesome things with the video games, they still are, and even bought the virtual pets back, with a US release of the Ver.20th en route this year), but all Toei wants to do on the anime side is Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure, and more Digimon Adventure.  When comparing Digimon to Tenchi, AIC is to Toei as Kajishima is to Bandai Namco.  It's annoying, it's been happening with Digimon for the past 5 years, and seeing this also happen to Tenchi within the same timeframe is just, GAAAH...

TLDR The same exact thing has been happening to Tenchi and Digimon - 2 of my favorite franchises - for 5 years, and I can't stand it.  So of course I'm going to end up saying things out of context, without thinking, and so forth over it.  Especially when it comes to "who owns what" which with Digimon I am more in the know about than with Tenchi.  At least the discussion has been civil, we haven't been getting at each other's throats or slinging mud, and that's the best part; you guys are all awesome.  :)

True, which is why GXP, OVA 3, and WoG weren't created until Pioneer/Geneon left. So I knew Pioneer always had a lot of say on the anime side, but I just never realized they also had a partial copyright hold on the early Tenchi production stuff.

Hey, nice to get an idea where OVA V fits in the GXP / Geminar novels.

It's definitely Jovia. The hair, the eyes, and most of all the eyebrows are a dead giveaway.

I'm very excited!

Jovia Jarvis is going to be one of Kenshi's martial arts trainer.  While Kenshi is going to be a swordsman, martial arts training will essential for him whenever he has no sword. In some episode of Genimar, Kenshi finds himself having to used his martial arts training.

For OVA 5, I do want it to be a sequel to the Ryo-Ohki series.  The series' timeline is set during the first decade of the Twenty-first century. If Tenchi is becoming a father. I want the names of his first two daughters to be Kiyone and Achika. Achika honors Tenchi's mother from Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo.

I believe it was mentioned by Kajishima at one point that we'll also see characters and elements from Paradise War and IF (The latter meaning we'll probably see Tenchi's kids!) during OVA 5.

Even though took us a little while longer than we thought... the hype train is here.  ALL ABOARD!  :parrot:

Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: takahata on July 18, 2019, 10:13:42 AM
I want to see the main villain of OVA 5 to be a member of the Jurain Royal House of Amaki.  If the villain is from the House of Amaki, his goal can focus on attempt to discredit the present Head of the House. The present Head of the Amaki is likely focusing on the stage of ending the centuries long bitter rivalry between the House of Masaki and the House of Amaki. The Head plans to let his house to continue to be the main rival of the House of Masaki. Like I stated before, the Head of the Amaki House travels to Earth to discuss  the matter of arranging a political marriage between two of the children from the two Houses. Since most of Tenchi's daughters are destined to married most of Siena's sons,  Tenchi and Ayeka will have to focus on a betrothal with their oldest son and one of the daughters of the Head of the House of Amaki.

Arranging the betrothal between Tenchi's and Ayeka's oldest son and one of his oldest daughters is the true objective of the Head. The Head of Amaki, Tenchi, and Ayeka will allow their two children the option of ending their engagement when they become adults.  For some members of the House of Amaki, they are opposed to the betrothal plan. Most of those who are opposed to the betrothal plan, they are merely stating their opinions. For the villain, he is opposed to the betrothal because he felt that the present Head of his house is betraying it. The villain can form an alliance with one of the illegitimate Space Pirate Guilds.

Aware of the villain's plans, the Head of the Amaki House tricks the villain into believing that he had made a betrothal agreement with Nobuyuki and Rea. Tenchi and Ayeka are aware of the Head's plan as well as Nobuyuki and Rea.

For some humor,  Airi and Katsuhito's third wife come to Earth to ask their husband to have another child with them.  If Tenchi becomes a father, he finds himself in funny situations like changing diapers and dealing with Ryoko's  and Ayeka's problems with becoming mothers. Of course, Ryoko and Ayeka have two women to ask for advice on motherhood.

For Mihoshi, I want her to become less like  Universe's Mihoshi and more like her own parents and brother.

So re-watched OVA 4. My opinion hasn't improved one iota. There are some nice moments. Ryo-Ohki waking up the whole household. Ryoko and Ayeka refreshingly NOT being jealous of Minaho spending so much time with Tenchi. Tenchi's dad and grandfather's discussion of Kiyone. Minaho and Tenchi's conversation is also very interesting.

But it's all exposition and set up. None of the original OVAs humor, character interactions or action is in here to spice up the world building. It makes even less sense to me now on why these episodes were made, knowing it was intended for the Japanese fans. Besides seeing Nobuyuki and Rea's wedding, there's really nothing here worthy of being animated IMO. Yes, I know this is a bridge between 3 & 5, but it doesn't change the fact that it's all conversations, telling the Japanese audience who have all the novels and doujins handy, what they probably already know.

It's like if they made a miniseries of LotR and only filmed Gandalf's talk with Frodo about the One Ring and the Council of Elrond.

I just want to see Tenchi's family, his "inner" family, not Misaki village, be the focus. Show Kenshi, the kids, the girls, and Tenchi's day to day life. Don't have the entire OVA be a training montage. We have War on Geminar available to us, we *already* know where all the training is going to lead.

Have some action, some comedy. I'm tired of seeing most of the main cast out of focus and/or little to no cool action or space opera stuff.

I just wish that OVA 5 has more character interaction especially with Tenchi. OVA 3 has the potential but I still feel that there's lack of interaction or dialogue with the main character which can make the series more interesting:

Seto: I hold you once when you were a baby.
Tenchi: Huh?
THE END

OVA 4 is just a drag about Tenchi's family.  :son:

Dare i say it...

OVA 4 is bad and boring because instead of focusing on the girls story arcs like OVA 1 2 and 3 it focuses on resolving tenchi's story arc and most people never even pick up on his ark / care if poor little mommyless tenchi gets over his feelings of loss and abandonment from his mother figure.

it also works on resolving nobuyuki's story ark which no one really ever cared about / was shoe horned into ova 3.


it's a nessesary story section that could have been way better executed if ova 3 hadnt been cut short by simply having minaho show up with airi and tennyo and having her be the one to talk to tenchi after he found out the truth instead of noike... granted i love that moment between noike and tenchi and i feel like thats the only moment that really legitamizes her as an ok waifu in my book... but the problem is minahos visit is a retrack of the same plotline to tie it up. also seto could have dropped off that fabric at the end of ova 3 easily as a suprise you are all getting married instead of an unannounced except in the book anouncement of a marriage right after a marriage.. which takes place right after an engagement....

EVERYONES GOTTEN TO SHOW OFF THEIR WEDDING AND ENGAGEMENT BUT TENCHI GETS A SILENT ANNOUNCEMENT OF IT! its just bad writing... expecially cause there just skipping past the marriage all together for tenchi...

#lets not forget the whole tarrant shank kiddinaping set up that is just totaly ignored.

who's to blaim AIC or kajishima.... id say both.

OVA 3 is bad sepecificly because of something no one ever likes to put the blame on. REA. people want to blame noike... noike is a good waifu and a decent character. rea... rea is a needless tie in to war on geminar. her personality is mush. her design... meh. the fact that her existance warrents an entire seasonal arc around her... bleh.

originally kenji wasn't planned to be his half brother but his granson... and honestly it should have stayed that way.

Yeah I was confused by the Fuuka thing too. I don't know why he would want to change that. Having the current Fuuka stay Kasumi would have given audiences a little more reason to care about her.

Yep, it was.

Originally Kasumi looked like Fuuka, as the page Fap provided shows, but as of OVA4 she's very normal looking. To my knowledge Kajishima never said why he split them. The novel Washu demonstrated that Kasumi spends some time in space, so why not let "Fuuka" stay Kasumi?

OVA 4 could have much better if there was more humor in it. It would have been much better if there was an episode on Shrank's visit to Earth. Shrank's visit to Earth was disclose in one of the GXP's episodes. Shrank's visit could help OVA 4.  OVA 4  is a prequel to War on Geminar as well as marking the end of the Ryo-Ohki series.  I do  want OVA 5 to be a sequel.

About the series' main plot, it can nclude a focus on Jurain politics.  Tenchi and Ayeka can learn that the present Head of the House of Amaki wants to visit earth as well as to see them. Of course, I did disclose my ideal for the visit in another reply. For the villain, he should remain a mystery like Dr. Clay and Kagato. There can a vital clue to who the main villain may be in an early episode.

While we are on the topic of villains, there was a "Kagato Ghost" in the 1993 light novel by Naoko Hasegawa, who was in charge of screenplay for OVA 1 and 2. I think it was a regrettably short read, but at least we got the jist of what a felled Kagato presence might evoke. The problem was it tried to absorb one of Ryoko's gems wholesale, in order to command spirits from the Masaki estate as well as puppeteer people.

PREACH!  This is also my biggest problem with OVA 4.  I mean, really... there's no reason why they should have focused literally ALL of OVA 4 on Nobuyuki and Rea.  The fact that they shoehorned it into OVA 3 was bad enough.  We shouldn't have had to sit through it AGAIN.  At least it was better than the unmentionable we had to deal with 5 years ago.  Doesn't necessarily mean that OVA 4 was good, but let's face it... anything is better than Ai.  ANYTHING.

And then again, I'm sure that OVA 5 will give us Tenchi's wedding (Remember, word going around is that we're getting 6 episodes this time; they'll probably put the buildup to Tenchi's wedding and the wedding itself in there so that OVA 5 isn't just "okay here's a Kenshi Masaki training montage that lasts for 6 whole episodes"), so yeah.  I think things will be handled MUCH better this time thankfully.

Quote from: Eff Efferson on July 21, 2019, 09:38:39 PM#lets not forget the whole tarrant shank kiddinaping set up that is just totaly ignored.

Given that happens during the Tenchi GXP novels, I actually expected the OVAs to avoid talking about it all along.  Logically speaking, that's material for a remake / sequel (More than likely we'd get a remake rather than a sequel for obvious reasons) of the GXP anime, not the OVAs.  Frustrating, yes, but at least I can understand why the OVAs didn't go near those happenings.

In other words, whether AIC would do another GXP anime or not is a discussion for another place and / or time... but the fact that what happened with Tarrant was part of GXP's story is probably why they didn't touch upon those events in the OVAs.

Did it? To me, OVA 4 came off more as a "fill in the gaps" from other canon materials Kajishima-sensei has written. Tenchi felt like more of an afterthought to me.

Quoteit also works on resolving nobuyuki's story ark which no one really ever cared about / was shoe horned into ova 3.

I don't think it was shoehorned into OVA 3. I think AIC cut it short. Rumor was that OVA 3 was supposed to be much longer than it ended up being. And AIC tossed a bone to Kajishima-sensei with OVA 3 +1. Whether that was true or not, OVA 4 was Kajishima-sensei's way of telling the tale he wasn't allowed to tell back then.

Quotewho's to blaim AIC or kajishima.... id say both.

I don't disagree there. One of my gripes with Kajishima-sensei's writing style is that he expects people to be current with all other canon works of his. OVA 4 was difficult for me because I'd not read the GXP novels. And I hadn't seen WoG in ages. (My BD set from FUNimation is still sealed in plastic. 😅) So I was having to remember story elements from that during the heavy exposition. At least he did show some imagery from WoG during the exposition, but it was still a heavy dump.

Well, there were a lot of things originally planned for "X" or "Y" that get changed along the production route. I often watch the commentary track for movies or TV shows where the director or show runner discuss how much the finish product changed from the original story pitch or first draft. 

If I recall correctly, there are doujinshi where Kajishima-sensei publishes early drafts for OVA 1 episodes. I seem to recall that most of the modifications done for the anime version of the script were positive changes that improved things. The only change I didn't like was the conversation between Ryoko and Aeka in the floating onsen. The earlier draft version of that was far superior than what we got in OVA 1. But for whatever reason, it got changed.

Quote from: takahata on July 26, 2019, 04:58:43 PM

I think some of the humor was more Japanese culture related. And some of it was Kajishima related. Its times like this that I miss True Sheol's insight on this aspect of TM!R.

QuoteShrank's visit could help OVA 4.  OVA 4  is a prequel to War on Geminar as well as marking the end of the Ryo-Ohki series.  I do  want OVA 5 to be a sequel.

Since I'm not versed on the GXP novels, was Shrank's visit covered there?  If so, that's why you likely won't see it in anime form.

That aside, I honestly get the feeling that Kajishima-sensei isn't interested in doing more action stuff with TM!R. He'd rather do "day in the life" or stuff like that.

Quote from: WarOmnimon on August 07, 2019, 05:31:04 PMI mean, really... there's no reason why they should have focused literally ALL of OVA 4 on Nobuyuki and Rea.  The fact that they shoehorned it into OVA 3 was bad enough.  We shouldn't have had to sit through it AGAIN.

I still don't believe it was shoehorned into OVA 3. I think Kajishima-sensei always planned to have it in OVA 3, but wasn't given the episodes to do it. After OVA 3, there really was no plan for more TM!R episodes.

That aside, when it came to OVA 4, AIC didn't go for the "-If-" stuff, so he gets to tell his Nobuyuki wedding tale that he wanted to tell years ago. This is one of those rare times that Kajishima-sensei will recover old ground. Had he properly told his Nobuyuki x Rea tale in OVA 3, it wouldn't have been in OVA 4.

QuoteGiven that happens during the Tenchi GXP novels, I actually expected the OVAs to avoid talking about it all along.  Logically speaking, that's material for a remake / sequel (More than likely we'd get a remake rather than a sequel for obvious reasons) of the GXP anime, not the OVAs.  Frustrating, yes, but at least I can understand why the OVAs didn't go near those happenings.

So this is gone over in the GXP novels then. I'd love for the GXP anime to get a remake, but I doubt Kajishima-sensei is down for that. As I see it, in his mind, the novels are enough. Non-Japanese fans don't enter his thought equations.

Quote from: Eff Efferson on August 07, 2019, 07:45:14 PM

That's the problem with Kajishima-sensei's writing style. If he's done something to his satisfaction once, he's not doing it again. To me, that's why we didn't get to see Ryoko and Aeka kick arse in OVA 3 (something that pissed me off royally). As I see it, in Kajishima-sensei's mind, we'd seen them kick arse in OVA 1. As such, there's no reason to show it again.

Because of this mindset, Kajishima-sensei doesn't feel like being bothered with spending time bringing folks up to speed in OVA 4. In his mind, true fans of his work will have read the GXP novels and watched the WoG anime, to say nothing of having watched OVA 1-3+. It is bad storytelling from the sense of reaching a broader audience. But since Sensei isn't worried about a broader audience, nor a non-Japanese audience, well...

One might say that Kajishima-sensei has gone back over old ground before. That's true, but conditionally so. The GXP novels rose from his dissatisfaction with the anime. So in his mind, he's not recovering old ground. He's fixing a problem. Ditto the Nobuyuki-Rea wedding in OVA 4. This wasn't retreading ground from OVA 3. This was fixing what he couldn't do in OVA 3.

Again, I agree with the sentiment that OVA 4 isn't "good" because it relies on audiences being 100% up to date with the canon lore. To Japanese fans, OVA 4 was great because it filled in some lore gaps and bridged the TM!R anime with the GXP novels. That's why we are getting an OVA 5.

if you read the OVA plot outline novel its pretty clear from the descriptive dialog (the text that isn't verbal) that kajishima's intent of this part of the story is that minaho arrives after his family basically made a mockery of his mothers memory and she, being the one who knew and also resembles his mother the most she takes him out with her so she can introduce herself and also help tenchi resolve his feelings of loss of his mother, as well as his lack of knowledge about who she truly was.

this doesn't translate well at all with bad subtitles (our fault) 3rd party directing (time's fault) and direct adaption (i assume everyone's fault)

examples"
[spoiler]
*the three idiots show up on the deck mizune charges and is thrown off minaho comes in*

The quiet and calm feeling of her arival was clearly different from Airi and Tennyo's,
She gave off an impression like Noike or Tsukiko did.
Indeed, the atmosphere she gave off was very similar to the one Funaho gave off.

(......... her aura feels similar to Mother's) Tenchi thought.

Of course, from the story he heard Airi and Tennyo, he learned that Kiyone was quite different, but for now Minaho in front of him seemed to embody only the good parts of his Mother that Tenchi remembered.
[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Minaho unexpectedly went and gently hugged Tenchi as he tried to greet Minaho. It felt as gentle as if he was wrapped in feathers. As usual, the girls began to wrinkle between their eyebrows,


but instead of CRYING out in outrage they eventually just began smiling at the sight.[/spoiler]


not only that the intended pacing was changed a bit minahos speech on his mother while farming comes exactly right after he is introduced to her in the next scene when they work the feilds in the anime it is cut in half by ayeka and ryoko's discussion over the fabric (which has the engagement reveal part cut wtf[spoiler]Jurai's formal wear has various meanings that can be gleamed from looking at it. By looking at it, she could tell who each piece was meant for and it even said things about the intended parties lineage and royal status. There was a systematic design in it that designated things like if one was a minor, or a member of the royal family.
In her case it said that she was was Azusa's Daughter. However, if you were married or engaged, another design was also added. In other words, the fabric for the outfits to be made by Ayeka for Ryoko and the others also revealed their true intended purpose to her.
In extreme terms, The designs showed she was was Azusa's daughter but where she had once hoped it would say Yosho, it said Tenchi.

"Either way, it's still ahead of us, so we have time to think about it."[/spoiler])... so that the

[spoiler]"Will you go out with me"

"eh?"


Minaho smiled a smiling face that Kiyone would make. However, it smile Kiyone would make when planning mischief. "What ??"

If you think about it, Minaho was still Airi's daughter and Kiyone's older sister. [/spoiler] part is moved to the end...

the reason they talk about seina so much is two fold to explain why he isnt there: his girlfreind was just brutally murdered and because widow had just been killed and they are busy receiving widow's soul to make fuku. this relates back to minaho and airi and this is simply because this is set up for their still unreleased novel.
[spoiler]"Tenchi-chan, why don't we take a bath before dinner?" Minaho smiled nicely at Tenchi. Minaho's smile was different from the kind airi would have made, it conveyed no evil intentions.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]"Noike-san, what has Minaho been doing??"
"She's been with Tenchi-sama ever since the moment she arrived... It's like he's been reunited with his mother ..." [/spoiler]

Quoteit also works on resolving nobuyuki's story ark which no one really ever cared about / was shoe horned into ova 3.
nobuyuki had basicly no ark and then they just gave him one so they could more directly tie war on geminar to tenchi. now the literal least interesting comedic backup character and a new character has an arc that encompases like 5 episodes...

here have a one paragraph spoiler to catch you up

all you really have to know is that [spoiler]miki, seina's girlfriend has just been brutally murdered by tarrant so he isnt there, and that widow, the serial killer who destroyed airi's planet and religeon turned herself in said he captured her and that and wanted to help him so they killed her and are now transferring her soul to make fuku and that seina is basically a bajillionaire cause of that but jurai is more or less borrowing the money and racking up debt with him. also kajishima's airi is a pedo who no one likes thanks to her experience with young yosho. and mikami expecially hates this about her, mikami despite being an obvious lesbian, gets encouraged by widow to throw her hat into the ring to go after seina so she start to do so in her own way. while she was pregnate tsukiko's lover was "killed "(dissapeared) mysteriously by whats implied to be HIMC. so she informally partnered with Dai tennan to raise kiriko but she hates him cause he is an ass. she was going to marry seina because he had no other options in life but that and then he went to space so she keeps using threats of that to get kiriko to stop trying to get seina to go home because she ran away to space to keep away from seina"[/spoiler]

nothing in the novels prepares us for the stuff in the last episode concerning seina
that all is info on stuff that happens post renza arc and pre paradise war/ pre ova 5


QuoteI honestly don't have a problem with Rea. But then I didn't have a problem with Noike either. Rea would have worked better had she been mentioned in OVA 1 or 2.
in an ensemble of developed and strong women, she is a wet blanket.
[spoiler]

Since I'm not versed on the GXP novels, was Shrank's visit covered there?  If so, that's why you likely won't see it in anime form. [/spoiler]

no you think it would be, but it takes place time wise towards the end of ova 4 and only gets a one line mention in the show and novel and a mention in the tenchi crossover episode and novel.

Motonaga has directed good stuff in the past like Date A Live. The problem with Tri was the writing.

And that's the issue.  Date A Live is literally the ONLY good thing Motonaga has done in recent years.  The rest... Digimon Adventure tri., School Days, etc.  You ain't wrong about Motonaga having directed good stuff in the past, though (Example, ToHeart: Remember My Memories, which I thought was actually pretty good... but then again, that aired all the way back in 2004 so it definitely isn't recent).  He just doesn't direct good stuff at a consistent rate anymore like he used to, which is why I'm worried.

Hmm. Judging by the fact that Kiriko is in the new image and Karen being in the cast list, it seems to confirm that the GXP cast will play a significant role in the OVA. I would love to see a training montage of Seina showing Kenshi how to pilot his Zinv.

Since each of the first Three OVA have six episodes, I can expect that OVA 5 will have six episodes.  In one of the six episodes, Tenchi can tell Kenshi  about what happen during the wedding. Of course, Tenchi is referring to the exact wedding.  How Tenchi recalls the wedding to Kenshi either by a simple reference or a honest flashback. 

I do like the ideal of the household focusing on two holidays. The holidays are likely Christmas and New Year's Day. New Year's Day is one of Japan's most important holidays.  We can see how Masaki Village celebrates New Year's Day. New Year's Day allows more characters to be seen including Siena and Kiriko.

If Kajishima wants to have a villain. I will let it up to Kajishima. The ideal of the villain being connected with the Jurai Royal Family is still a good ideal. A villain is still important.  For me, the villain needs to  be more like Dr. Clay.

I third that opinion.

I like Tenchi Universe, Photon, and Dual! on their own terms. But the original OVAs, the characters, setting, humor, and action, that's what made me love the Tenchiverse. Well, that, as well as all the fanservice and harem antics, too, of course :heysexy:.

When I really started to get into anime waaayyyy back in 2001, I watched Tenchi and El-Hazard back to back. Which really turned me on to anime in general.
Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: WaitoKon on October 29, 2019, 03:49:35 AM
Good to hear GP, makes me reminisce about the turn of the millennium Tenchi airings. Oddly enough, my first exposure in this regard was not Tenchi / Hazard despite both coming from Hayashi and Kaj essentially. Rather, it was Tenchi: Daughter of Darkness and the double-feature Slayers film that shipped with it in an oddly cropped format for DVD. Was trying to find materials to upload to animemusicvideos.org back then, and it was all Trigun, NGE and Tenchi snippets. My hometown was a few minutes drive to a major comics books retailer, and the whole back section was anime DVDs and PSX titles in the Region 1 NTSC mode. I think Sunrise had a DVD outlet back then which finally got dubbed videos out to anime fans in the states.

Tonikaku, don't want to derail this thread -- Vas are you familiar with the production planning that went into making the episode 13 pt 1 and 2 for OVA 2?

Okay no worries. My understanding was Kaj and his team were on the fence with one of the earlier Hasegawa light novels, and so reworked the Jurai elements (before the True Tenchi novels happened) to have Azusa and others make a cameo in the extended episode 13. My take on OVA V plot wise is it must consider the ongoing GXP novels as well as tie together OVA 4 and Geminar, so in essence the behind-the-scenes for episode 13 is a retrospect on what is going on today. I hope it works.

I know that  OVA 5 has the six standard episodes.  If OVA 5 has a villain, he will likely  kidnap Kenshi and Ryo-Ohki.  After the villain and his comrades kidnap Kenshi and Ryo-Ohki, they will think that they will have it easy. Unfortunately, the three villains find themselves in a Little Red Chief situation.  Ryo-Ohki and Kenshi have been allow to kidnap.  Both have been train to create the Little Red Chief situation. After the three villains experience the havoc created by Kenshi and Ryo-Ohki, they demand Seina to arrest them. The three even confess to their crime plus a couple more just to get away from Kenshi and Ryo-Ohki.  For Siena, his bad luck causes a little extra trouble for the villains and Siena plus anyone who happens to be with Siena.

Little Red Chief is a classic American story. It is about two kidnappers who kidnapped the son of a millionaire. The two men have thought that they have it easy until who likes to call himself Little Red chief causes lot of comedic trouble for his kidnappers.  The same ideal of Little Red Chief form the base of the plot for the classic movie Home Alone.

Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: WaitoKon on November 26, 2019, 05:46:19 PM
That all depends on who is around to be victimized by said villain, and how the hero in the story grows from that encounter. When season 1 ended with Kagato whisking Ryoko away, we saw Tenchi become more of a capable fighter and all the girls seemed to appreciate that. Then when he had to rescue her again because of Clay, we didn't see any improvement it was just a way to queue up the plot regarding the Choushin's search for a supreme being. In GXP, there were some better character arcs especially in the novels, and this allowed villains to change sides and make better judgment calls instead of just fall into a comedy of errors. But how that got water down or otherwise reconfigured into GXP anime, Geminar, OVA 4 and probably OVA 5 is going to be a doozy.

Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: takahata on November 28, 2019, 11:53:12 PM
First, I had originally wanted OVA 5 to be the first series of another Tenchi Muyo sequel.  The sequel  may have include  focusing on Kenshi as well as Tenchi dealing with fatherhood for the first time.  A sequel allows the development of new characters esp. if one of the new characters turn out to be the second living wife of Katsuhito Masaki. The sequel will serve a prequel to War On Geminar and another sequel which focuses on one of Tenchi's sons. Tenchi has only one confirm son. Tenchi having other children does make sense.

A villain for OVA 5 is needed . For GXP, the main villain was Shrank.  Shrank is the example of a true villain. He care mostly for himself.  Shrank was a composite of Dr. Clay and Kagato.  I like the ideal of the main villain being a member of the House of Amaki.  The primary motive of this villain was to disgrace the present Head of the House of Amaki. All the present Head of the Amaki House wants to do is to end the bitter rivalry between the House of Amaki and the House of Masaki. The Head plans to allow the House of Amaki to be the rival of the House of Masaki.  The present Head should only appear in two of the six episodes.  Oddly, the person who have thought of the Little Red Chief Ideal can be Lady Seto. Lady Seto will not mind if the House of Amaki continues to be  the main rival of the House of Masakii. Because of Lady Seto, the House of Kamaki is the most powerful of the Four Houses of the Jurain Royal family.

The Little Red Chief ideal is due to because Tenchi Muyo is still a comedy. The ideal allows a very good reason to include Kenshi. OVA  5 centers around Family. For Tenchi, he is dealing with the problems of being a new father. Before the meeting scenes in OVA 4's fourth episode, Tenchi and Seina have become fathers. For Tenchi, his first two daughters were born before the birth of Siena's and Kiriko's first son.

Really cool to see more of the GXP cast. I heard the name "Yamada" mentioned several times in the trailer, so I assume that the other GXP cast besides Kiriko & Jovia will hame a part to play in the story.

I'm hoping the episodes will be fairly long, close to 60 min each, although I could check Amazon Japan to check the runtime. Can't believe ONE EPISODE has had 3 previews! They may as well release it now at this point. ;)

Same.  Though to be fair, if the first 3 OVAs are anything to go by (It's more sensible to compare OVA 5 to the first 3 OVAs than OVA 4 in terms of episode count given that not counting Night Before The Carnival and Final Confrontations, it also has 6 episodes while OVA 4 only had 4 episodes), most of the episodes will likely be closer to 30 or 45 minutes each if anything.  MAYBE one episode closer to 60 minutes like Night Before The Carnival was.

first i wanted to ask how did you know that but then i saw the kanji behind her. but in which group will she be ?

Post by: GP cadet 87 on December 20, 2019, 06:55:18 PM
Ohhhh damn. I just noticed the different kanji behind her. I just saw all the other girls in their wedding dresses, and I was like, "Wait, Jovia's in Tenchi's harem?" Bit weird that she was grouped with the other girls then. Those are great pics btw, the girls look great. :)

Interesting. Do you think we will see a formal ceremony with Seina marrying the Renza members of his harem after Tenchi's wedding? I would like to see these characters animated, if only to see what their personalities are like and how they sound.

If we do it would fit my theory that tenchi waits till seina's second round to do a joint marriage

ok so info on jovia, she is the head wizard of the pharmacy guild in the town that barigaru takes seina to.
She is described as a woman who seems cute and innocen't but is really a total pervert, her description reminds seina of airi and so he decides to avoid becoming a magician.
She is the strongest magician they have. she is most likely going to be the one to send kenshi over to renza and or get him back if they ever do, I don't think that there going to use a machine to send him there like in dual.

Post by: Eff Efferson on February 01, 2020, 12:21:53 PM
by the way this is all thats written on jovia in GXP 17

i'm only half assedly translating this
[spoiler]
At that moment, another mage stepped into the place and it was as if the roof collapsed.
"Oh, sir. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, somehow. I'm just having a hard time focusing thanks to that idiot Jovia."

The mage who came in and took off their hood was an elderly man, he was sweating all over his face. He was staring at the mage called Jovia with begrudgen eyes.
"Take care to reduce the tension, take care please. It's said that luck comes to those who laugh at anger's gate."

(this may be a pun.... jovia seems to speak in sex puns alot... if you try spacing this out a bit weird bing translator mis translates this as something like)

" Have you considred paying someone to releasing some tention? they say it's good luck to cum."

"How many times do I say that you're the only one who can say such a stupid sentance..."

The teacher has been there for a long time. Isn't crystallization progressing.It's difficult for me to harden thing because of my age ..."

"But I'm I'm successful because I'm fine. is this the first time you've been able to crystalize after my long absence? It it difficult to get hard because of your age ..."

"Look, don't slap me, I'm ready to withdraw. I'll put the black curse salt into Guild once. It won't fool you.

Barigaru knew it was futile to say anything he held out his hand

"Sexual intercourse ... Because I was successful, as a reward ..."

"I don't need black curse salt that bad."

"Return ~~ Thank you ~~ So I have the right to buy everything except the teacher's share, right?"

What is pride? Is it delicious? It's like that.

Jovia was really tantalizing, but there were many men who were deceived by this because she was a beautiful woman. But, of course, the period was short, gone in an instant.

"Oh, I have to give the money to the cheats and the kid. I don't want to go back, so don't forget the stinking play! And don't forget that magical organ. That's why I made this farce."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, it's stinky anyway. If you find that you can get black curse salt, you don't have to flirt with a mustache. Thank you, oh, thank you. Yeah. "
Jovia floated a fully crystallized magic organ buried in the salt of the black curse, he rolled it into a small cloth and threw it to Barrigaru with two magic crystals.

And in contrast, it was important to note that none of the black curse salt was pulled into a glass container, like a giant urinal bottle, pulled out of a magic bag, sealing the mouth tightly.

"Oh nice, this black glow is the best!"
The talented perver rubbed the big bottle with an ecstatic expression
 
After breaking up with the two mages, Barrigaru headed to a private office in a corner of the Guild market.
When you lock the entrance door, you pass through the reception room in front and enter the office behind.
And I opened the costume dance door in the back. It is almost an empty box with just one piece of work clothes. After confirming that and closing the door once,
「............ When I opened the door again after casting something like a spell, it turned out to be a dark space. Barrigaru stepped in without hesitation, and the next moment he came out of the closet of Herrera's study in the hilltop consulate.

"Did you go?" it was Herrera who spoke to Barrigaru.
"Of course, they're both completely emptied. Of course, you'll have to recharge them, right?"
"Evidence of that ... No, it's a witness. With that, all the nobles involved can take the title. It's easy to make up for it if you have that confiscation, is that child there too?"
Herrera smiled, Barrigaru handed him a packet of magic crystals. However, Herera, who took it with a good mood, got a steep expression on his face, and his temple had a clear blue line throbbing in it.
"... Hey Barrigaru. What is this cloth?"
"Hmm? Jovia said it was a seal-cloth  ... what's wrong?"
"That woman, it's her underwear!"
"... I thought it was a soft cloth, but ... really !?
"The embroidery design contains the crest of her house, so it's obvious! Barrigaru, didn't you notice?"
"I thought it was really familiar, but ... I guess it's normal? So ... Is it used?"

"If you do that, I'll kill that woman!"
"I'm a friend, why don't you laugh and forgive me? Are you annoyed if you look like a stupid dog?"
Barrigaru sighed relievedly that he was finally released from the pressure of his mission. Then, as if it were a house that you know, you take out your treasured wine from the small wine cellar next to the reception desk and unplug it.
Because the content of the story is paid only for the content, no maid stops the act. Either way, Barrigaru feels like a tavern and touches the maid's ass, so he can't deter, and Herrera always keeps her.
"You're too stupid! You know how hard I'm struggling with that stupid?"
"From my point of view, both are similar ... I think if you're forgiving me with such irony, I think it's lighter for Jovia."
"That's all I need to tell me directly! If you don't understand the usual Yota position, I'll let you go without complaining!"
"Don't listen to me ... Well, I guess he was going out of his mouth? He hates you."
"Sometimes it's better to beat me. She knows that if you accumulate it weird, it's more troublesome."
"I just know that it's good to diverge, so I'll push it."
That is, of course, Sena. He gives the toys of a habitual older woman a habit, and he is well aware of the habit.
"I feel sorry for that, but ... I can't help that. Anyway, I use this guy and it radiates with the dung."
Herrera looked at the package and smiled with a terrible smile. It's a more terrifying expression than the young face.
"However, the royal family is deeply skilled in trying to let dangerous artifacts leak out and use them. The royal family is the one who has to do so in the first place.
"Don't mess around in a war-fighting budget war, and if you're a decent person, you won't use black curse artifacts."
"That's true"
"... When will Elixir be?"
"I will take over one regular product owned by Jovia."
"Hey! There's no more black curry salt than anything else, isn't it? There's a lot of it! You can make a rare class, so don't joke it and tell it to come over!"
"Jovia says," I'll give you an undead road if it's good. "I don't want to be involved."
It is the legendary death dynasty that has transformed all living things on one continent into undead.
"What the hell? It's not as bad as an Ancient Dragon!"
"It's a remedy that cures all illnesses and even revitalizes the dead. It's a matter of undead and just a paper job. Thinking about extras, it's the same. It's their normal limbs, they don't regenerate their trained limbs, and it's common sense that they need a post-rehabilitation period, but when it's not well known, they can It seems that there were many. ''
In other words, even if there is a loss during the battle, those who assume that the extra potion can continue the battle in the same state can be done because of the poor regeneration limbs.
"Elixirs are like gambling when things can't be helped, so if you're going to use them safely, you'll have to follow the dosage regimen."
"Do you know that much a court magician?"

"I know it's different from being able to master it, and if you're going to rely on it, you're saying," It's not a decent mental state, so you're going to overdo it! " Could you be more familiar with this gossip? "
"Hmm! Good. If you kill yourself, you will kill yourself. It doesn't matter."
"Cook cook. Even though one Jovia was three times as effective as normal, he said that a similar accident could happen."
By the way, "If you do not drink, there is nothing wrong! ], But Barrigaru cut it without telling it because it is unknown.
"... I hate that girl. Oh, she wasn't the age of a girl anymore.

Sadly, Herrera turned aside with a disgusted face, regrettable that she had read inside. Well, it's like each other, but Barrigaru swallowed the word.

"I've put insects on Gand, so I'll leave it to you."

"It's already being followed by a bee. The report says you're out of town. You're also monitoring the pit burrows."

"Then, isn't the mischief of the kid at home OK?"

I drank a glass of wine quickly as there was no use here anymore. Put the lid on the wine, put it in a magic bag, and stand up.

"Barrigaru ... I was terrible because I had a bad job."

"I don't care if you don't disturb the little boy at home."

Barrigaru responds lightly to Herrera's obedient apology.

"Huh ... If" Mabiya's Thought "is genuine, I'm gonna skip it from here. But I'll definitely push it to Jovia!"
Sena was thus sacrificed to the "Perverted Hentai".
[/spoiler]

barigaru visits jovia and some dude she's really pissing off about some cyrtalised magic stuff... jovia as we've seen in the doujins often talks in dirty double speak puns that are going to be impossible for us to translate or understand. she requests sex in return for some magic salt of some sort, barigaru declines, she gives him some stuff in a jar and gives him some fabric telling him its some sealing fabric he leaves the guy he goes to points out that cloth is really her soiled panties.

some how its decided to throw seina her way.

that's it... she hasn't even met seina yet.

I am not looking foward to translating the 17th book. i don't want to... it comes out to jibberish in large parts but im working on fixing that but its all seina on this stupid planet doing dumb shit and i cant see anything important happening at all in the machine text after natori makes her debut (seina's philosophers stone becomes a waifu made of all the best parts of his waifus and washu mixed into one.)

kiriko has all the good parts in the renza ark, seina is out playing magic survivor indentured servent man.

Also, Jovia sounds rather disgusting and annoying.

What kinds of powers does she and Natori have btw?

yeah i agree.  jovia is probably going to be a pest. i really hope im wrong about her ending up as seina's wife.
natori is the red haired girl on the cover of book 17
shes the result of the philosiphers stone malfunctioning only seina can see her. shes a nice character i like her.
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/mwUAAOSwAmVcmiJ7/s-l300.jpg
nana is the cat. actually a cobold shapeshifter that works under barigaru.

natoris name means a billion because shes "way better then nana(seven)"

why is kirikos plot better.... seina plot is expostion on magic and the world of renza... he does almost nothing hes just hunting having dinner and talking to people he meets. thinking about zinv... has an assasin after him... he owes barigaru like alot of money... its not that interesting honestly. the only interesting part is he seems to be able to contact the ai running the magic system the magic is a form of ancient technology that turns magic energy into stuff its just aho and ena essentially. i cant tell you what jovia can do. she only appears for a second and magic is essentially boundless in the way there using it they take the energy and form it into matter and physics forces so as long as they know how they want to do something they can. jovia probavly wont be using magic in the ova as it requires energy generater by an invasive plant that wont grow on earth.

kiriko on the other hand has a plot line where tha ks to the kamidake coming out to fight himc with zinv she is brought to a sham trial with renzan officials and instead of taking their abuse and their demands to hand over the kamidake miki arranges for a dual with the mech that was made for kenshi that rea said no to.  when the princes of renza see this new mech unveiled they freak out they send kiriko to the "dual ethics committee" to "learn the rules of battle" but when she arives there its a bunch of rude midevil assassins and she kicks their butts in seconds because there not even bio enhanced.  this agrivates her so she learns the most humiliating thing to do in a dual to a pilot from kaguya the ogre girl on seinas anti pirate squad. the battle starts the princes set their mechs to auto battle cause they dont even really know how to use them. they use ancient holy weapons that cause a rain of energy and they assume theyve one in one hit but kirikos mech is unphased and she lroceeds to rip off all their mechs arms and legs steal their weapons and behead them one by one totaly humiliating them. she gets paid diplomatic unrestricted acess to renza and they get humiliated. her plot line is way better then seina's the girls are killing it in this ark and seina meanwhile is just sitting round checking libraries playing with a magic storage bag and talkin to ppl at diner inbetween hunting and looking at contracts about his debts... its boring...

Honestly, Jovia looks more disoriented and annoyed than brain damaged to me, but I can see what you mean.

Going by the promos, it looks like OVA 5 will have the plot act as "connective tissue" between GXP, Ryo-ohki and Geminar. Obviously, we've all seen this for years with the doujinshi and novels, but it looks like we'll see more behind the scenes of Kenshi's training, showing stuff that connects with all those previous shows.

Obviously I hope it won't be all about Kenshi's upbringing. I can't bear to watch OVA 4 on repeat. Especially stretched out over a year and a half.

Really looking forward on seeing Jovia. Really curious on her part in all this and seeing what her character's like.

Seriously though, this is a very pleasant surprise. :) I wasn't ready for grown-up Fuku. Just from her facial expression alone you can guess her personality.

Looks like this OVA is gonna be sort of a massive "crossover" in  a sense, even though this is all the same universe. Just from these character reveals, I'm pumped. Instead of tons of boring foreshadowing to stuff we already know, we'll at least see more new characters, and see how older characters have developed. So ok, maybe to Japanese fans a lot of this may seem familiar, but at least it's new(er) to US!

Which is probably why American fans will be even more confused and rage at all the unexplained stuff lol.

Agreed on the pleasant surprise factor! :) Also, the fact that Seina is showing up as Minamida means that we'll probably see the characters from Paradise War...

if it's true to it's roots every episode will be a bit after one another except for the last two epsiodes.

the biggest difference with ova was that it all took place over 3 days where as almost every other ova episode took place on a different month or atleast a few weeks apart.

Right now, I want to know the year when the series happens. If Kajishima is focusing on what's happening in Japan during the early 21st Century, Tenchi will likely get married after he turns 25.  I will like to see the wedding. Still, It would have been a better ideal to allow Tenchi's wedding to happen before the series' first episode.

This is where we desperately need some kind of presence on Reddit, they usually have a mod post about links hosting raw scans.

My other guess is the VS Battle Fandom might have some FAQs about where to find raw ISOs.

But even so, you won't find an active seed for a while as the episodes are coming out slowly by disk instead of broadcast straight to TV sets and it is very unlikely that these collector items are going to be leaked to the Internet.

My only other disclaimer is to check with active copyrights in the market, whether it is available through a streaming service, and don't get yourselves in any sort of trouble but simply ask the right people first. Cheers. :)

Ohhhh, yeah! I couldn't be more excited!:)

Those extra episodes were probably needed to accommodate all that screen time. This really seems like a proper sequel to OVA 3. The cast has balooned exponentionally, and become even MORE confusing to non-Japanese fans lol.

We could make a 'before you watch OVA V' checklist. Somewhere there is a continuity tree that shows which series to watch in what order.

I think it looks like:

OVA 1
True Tenchi Jurai
True Tenchi Yosho
GXP
True Tenchi Washu
OVA 2
OVA 3
Geminar
OVA 4
Paradise Wars
OVA V

GXP before OVA2 makes no sense as it takes place after the events of OVA 3.

Paradise War might be better served after OVA 5 as well because of timing.

Okay, Putting this topic back on track.

OVA 5 Ep 1 has been ripped, Encoded, and is with a vendor for subtitles. Expected Delivery is 3/23/20.

As soon as I have them, I will work with Eff to get them reviewed, placed in canonical context and embedded into the video file.
Added bonus they are doing Japanese subs as well for any deaf Japanese.

So just to be clear, Crunchyroll is part of a larger platform including Rooster Teeth and whatever else that parent WarnerMedia/ AT&T owns. Now that they've got streaming rights of OVA V for the near future, we absolutely have to abandon any in-house sub efforts.

Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki! (season 5) is "published" on Crunchyroll's platform by a Japanese company called Happinet. They are a division of Bandai, and have probably been in the online streaming business for some time.

Saw episode 1 this morning.

The big difference between the exposition in 4 & 5, is that OVA 5 (so far) gives us NEW and INTERESTING insight and info about the characters. It's not all needless set-up for Geminar, which was nearly a decade old when OVA 4 finally came out.

The highlight of the episode was the appearance of the GXP characters for me. Quite a few interesting revelations in that convo. We learned more about Karen and Kiriko in that last 10 min than in all of GXP. Jovia was much more entertaining than I assumed she'd be. Her interactions with Kenshi and Ryo-ohki was hilarious.

That ending though. Really interestd to see where the plot goes from here. A definite improvement from OVA 4 already. Can't wait for spoiler discussion. :)

And this is exactly what I was afraid of, LOL. They should've known better than to bring Ai over instead of OVA 4. Something tells me that Ai failed hard here like it did in Japan and basically led to Funi pulling an abandon ship on Tenchi as a whole. That might explain why OVA 5 came over before OVA 4... in other words, Funi didn't do the research. If they were using actual common sense, they would have noticed that OVA 4 episode 1 alone outsold Ai as an entire series in Japan and bought OVA 4 over instead...

...BUT ANYWAY, back on topic. We're discussing OVA 5, not "what Funi could've and what Funi should've".

I'm in full agreement. You pretty much nailed my thoughts on this episode... and yes, DAT ENDING THO! The words in my mind when I heard that final line from Kiriko; "You go, Seina!" He definitely "got to work", if you know what I mean. :getin:

Anyway... anyone gonna try to guess which of Tenchi's girls he's gonna "get to work" with first? Maybe Based Fap has insight. And speaking of whom...

Post by: GP cadet 87 on March 08, 2020, 02:27:35 PM
Yeah, I've wondered about that, with all the Renza fantasy stuff and Jovia being a mage. It's fine for Masaki to want to write fantasy, more power to him, but...

Even with al the craziness of the Tenchiverse, with all the hyper-advanced tech and sapient trees, and the fact that our MC has three goddesses in his harem, adding magic into this setting feels weird.

Don't get me wrong, the jokes involving Jovia were great, and you can always excuse the magic as "Clarke's Third Law". To be fair, Ryoko summoned a "demon" all the way back in ep 4, and it looks like straight up magic to me. So, there's precedent.

Well, since we have 5 eps to go, and several more GXP characters confirmed already, it's safe to say we will see the rest of Seina's "Renza" harem. Judging by Jovia's intro, I'm really looking forward to seeing what Souren and the rest are like.

you know im just gonna say it. its clear why kajishima is relying on heavy exposition.


like we all saw the animation for the jovia scene

we all saw the badly drawn kiriko n other girls in my profile pic

this isnt up to artistic snuff for a tenchi ova episode its practicly on par with the worst animated episodes of the anime... the scene with the dragon the only action wcene of the show gives away a key problem.

clearly aic has no budget. this is  in many ways a glorified storyboard animation.  on par with episode 13.5... clearly aic doesnt have the budget to make tenchi like they used to.

i suspect if anything this is a sort of  intentional bottle episode meant to raise funds for the rest of the series so he kept it to set up exposition and one light action scene. not the first time.... ova 3 episode 1 was mostly reused footage after all... the first few scenes with rea and tennyo were pretty but also just pan shots and stills. and they clearly ran things low budget towards the end.

TBH, I was really worried when the first thing we see in the ep was Rea and Baby Kenshi.

I mean, it was a  sweet, but I'm thinking, "Oh God, why are we going BACKWARDS from where OVA 4 left off?" But the episode improved as it went on.

My biggest hope now is that we see the gaps in between the -if- doujns animated. That would make this OVA a huge win, even on a low budget.

Just saw the updated character page on the official site. I was half-joking before, but this OVA looks like it WILL be a stealth sequel to the GXP series! Woo! It's the next best thing to having the novels licensed.

I really like Seina's slight re-design. In GXP, his face had a softer, rounder look, which made sense, since he was going through puberty. He's more ruggedly handsome without completely redoing the original GXP design. Definitely looks like a proper harem MC now lol.

And of course, the return of more of the GXP cast. Including the rest of the OG harem. And Neeju is all grown up! ;)

Can't wait for episode 2! It's coming out just two days before my birthday! :)

I have just watch the first episode of OVA 5.  I want to point out that OVA 5's timeline starts between 1996 and 1997 and jumps to the year 2002.  Kenshi is five years old in the year 2002.   Siena and Kiriko are officially married. Masaki Village is still an independent village.  I need to be very patient about the plot of OVA 5. Tennyo and Rea are discussing something about what Kiyone has done in the past.  One of the habits of Kiyone is focus on her being a collector.

Oddly, the series will reflect what's happening in Japan esp in the year 2002.  Tenchi and the girls seem to be waiting for the right time to get married.  Tenchi's first wife is going to be Noike while Ryoko is the mother of Tenchi's first child and daughter.

Politically speaking, it only makes sense that Ayeka would be the first to marry.
Recall, if you will, the resistance that several members of the Royal Family had to Azusa marrying Funaho before Misaki.
I imagine that something similar would happen if it were known that the Crown Princess's chosen husband had decided to wed one of Seto's pet projects, some orphan girl who used to be a beat cop, before Her Majesty. The scoundrel! The outrage!
Reverse the order and there's sure to be a few raised eyebrows, but little more. "What? The Princess's consort has taken another bride? One of Seto's pity projects? I suppose that since she is a member of the Royal family there's no issue, but how unusual!"
If and when they learn that BOTH princesses are sharing a roof and a bed with the infamous space pirate Ryoko and Ryo-Ohki, who crippled the Jurian Navy for hundreds of years, that's sure to raise a fuss unless she makes some kind of public announcement.
"PEOPLE OF JURAI! There is no danger from Ryoko! I, your princess, have convinced her to see the error of her ways and lay down her sword! She has decided to repent and formally apologize for her past misdeeds! I have graciously taken her under my wing to personally reform her! Though she may have the occasional emotional outburst, I am a member of the Royal family, Daughter of the Reigning Heavyweight Martial Arts Champion 1200 years IN A ROW, and more than capable of handling her!
Why, dear sweet Sasami has already made a model citizen of the notorious Ryo-Ohki!"

From these pages, we can infer that Seina's home is separate, but close by.
When she gets up she already has a sweat from her fever, and by the time she reaches Seina's house, she's pouring sweat.
When she reaches Seina's house, behind her it's clearly night behind her, so she had to go outside.
From this, we can infer that it's some distance away, probably on the other side of the lake.
But it's still close enough for a little girl with a raging fever and a weak body to easily reach in the dark.

I am going by the details in the first episode. I check out your article.  While I may be wrong about Noike being Tenchi's first wife, I am referring to the Harem rank. Ryoko happens to be the mother of Tenchi's first child.  My name Ryoko's and Tenchi's first daughter is Kiyone.  Since Kiyone is the name of Tenchi's mother, it will be considered a way to honor Tenchi's mother. For Tenchi's and Ayeka's first daughter, my choice will be Achika.  Achiika is to honor the name of Tenchi's mother in Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo. 

I had accidentally remove my article.

There's a reason Noike will likely be the first wife, in addition to being Seto-sama's choice. She's the one person who can manage Tenchi's harem. There will always be a bit of rivalry between Ryoko and Aeka. Yes, they've resolved most of it, but Noike is neutral territory.

If Noike is first wife, it forms a stronger tie between House Masaki and House Kamiki. And it potentially gives Seto-sama influence within Tenchi's harem. I think that's why Seto arranged it in the first place. (Though in the end, I think Tenchi and his harem will thwart Seto-sama and maintain independence, yet still be loyal to Jurai.)

Plus, I believe Kajichima-sensei making a hentai doujinshi with Noike and Tenchi getting it on while Aeka gently shoos teenage Sasami-chan away to give Tenchi and Noike privacy is his way of saying, "Noike is first wife."

Heh. How times have changed. Back on the old AIC English forums, there were wars over whom Tenchi would choose. Now everyone accepts a harem ending, but it is all about "who's first wife." 🤣

So who's the new chick in this episode? The one seemingly sitting seiza with Seto-sama?

First Wife is not a manager role. First wife is based on love.

Azuza fought for Funaho to be first
Seina first wife was unanimously decided to be Kiriko because of Seina's love for her.

If it is going to be anyone, it has to be Ryoko. She loved Tenchi first and the only rivals for that purity is Ryo-Ohki. Also Ryoko had the first child ... so there is also that.

this, the novels were exaserbatingly brining up and compairing azusa and his relationship to tenchi's he could have married the juraian princess and had her be first wive that would've been easy but he chose to use the first wife position for love, he didn't care that funaho wouldn't be accepted at first, she deserved to be the head wife.
ayeka is the socially aceptable choice, ryoko is the wild and romantic one.

shit if i rememebr correctly even in hasegawa's shtick the situation was used to mirror tenchi's relationship with ayeka and ryoko.

the masaki family always chooses love over it's political responsabilities is a major theme.
and Tenchi's haori has to mean something. there is no other reason that ryoko would tresure it so much. I'd hate for it to mean "hey i love you still but like congrats on being second place."

Eff and Ricin are right. Ryoko #1!!! Ayeka or Noike make the most sense politically, and Ryoko as first wife is a PR nightmare, but I will always stan love above all! I can't count the amount of times I've ranted and raved at my poor friends about how Azusa is the best Kajishima protag for choosing love over convenience. I can't believe I even entertained the idea of Kajishima having Tenchi do the easy thing for even a moment! I have offended myself, and I have offended the Shaolin Temple! RYOKO FIRST OR RIOT*!


*"Riot" of course being a euphemism for being sad at home.

Wow, first time back on the internet in 4 weeks, and a new PV is waiting for me! :)

The two biggest takeaways from me, is that, we are are going to see almost the entire main cast of GXP (unless Gyoukuren will be show up in the ep proper) with Seina at least having some alone time with the cabbit girls, which will hopefully give us some backstory and plot details of the Yamada harem. After all these years, the idea of a grown up Fuku will take some getting used to.

The other big thing, of course, is that we're getting some honest to goodness ACTION again! To be fair, it's older Tenchi vs. space pirates. Not exactly a high stakes fight. But at least we'll stuff happening on screen. It's a very good sign. OVA 5 won't just be a bunch of talking head scenes.

I have just seen the trailer for the second episode of OVA 5 on youtube. In  trailer, there is a focus on Space Pirates.  The Space Pirates are likely connected to the Renza Federation.  The island where Paradise Wars is located on is in the same trailer.  Tenchi is going to use his kami powers. The timeline for the series is set between the years 2000 and 2007.

Let's hope that in one of the next trailers includes Tenchi becoming a father.

Tenchi should already be a father. Remember Tenchi's kids are born when Kiriko pregnant, so if they are planning for Kiriko to have a kid ... Tenchi is about to seed or has seeded Ryoko.

Guessing by the ages of the kids I would assume Tenchi's girls are about 2-3 years older than their husbands, so I wouldn't expect to see something as I assume Kiriko is not pregnant yet.

Having the OVA first before the last GxP novel volume kind of puts the cart before the horse with one of the characters in the OVA most probably having an actual role in GxP in that final novel only. I'm itching to read volume 18 even as a raw while doing my best to avoid the latest OVAs just so that I don't spoil myself which is weird.

I see. It's just that I find it kinda weird he'd go with the OVA first when the novel introducing some characters who appear in the OVA is still not out yet.

There is the douj. about what happen when the teen Sasami have stumble upon Tenchi and Noike after school.  Kenshi and Ryo-Ohki had appear in the douj. PV 2 shows an older Sasami.  There is no hint about Tenchi becoming a father, but we have to wait for the  episode coming out. There is action in the episode. Tenchi is seen using his Kami powers against a large Space Pirate vessel.  Still I hope that Tenchi's first two daughters are in the series.  Two ideal names for Tenchi's first two daughters are Kiyone and Achika. Kiyone is the name of Tenchi's mother in the Ryo-Ohki series. Achika is the name of Tenchi's mother in Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo. Still Tenko is a good name for one of Tenchi's and Ryoko's daughters.

The main Paradise War cast is now all on the characters page. [spoiler]Maybe they'veve been there for a while, but I haven't been paying much attention to OVA 5. [/spoiler]Bringing the total number of characters there up to 37. Still no Tenchi babies though.
And speaking of which... oh snap. They got some heavy hitters to voice Dird, Area, and Palty in particular. It's almost impossible to be an anime fan in the current era and not run into Kei Shindou, Misato Fukuen, and / or Sarah Emi Bridcutt's work somewhere. Shindou and Fukuen both voice major characters in My Hero Academia, specifically Kyouka and Himiko, while Bridcutt voices Yuzuru in Date A Live and Yuki in Testament of Sister New Devil, and while not as likely to be followed by the others here, also three characters in Kantai Collection (Yuubari, Kumano, and Suzuya).

...and that's just naming examples that everyone else here is at least somewhat aware of. I'll stop right there before this post even has the smallest chance of becoming a legitimate wall of text.

I can relate. Even just downscaling videos with Handbrake takes plenty of time on my laptop, but it's still very viable and the end result isn't bad.

The Tenchi story may no longer exist in OVA5. In episodes 1 and 2, Kajishima just released some of the backstory he had. It's mainly about the novel GXP, novel Paradise War, and Geminar.
In episode 2, Seto was suggested to hold a Paradise War, and Seina and others preparing to do so appeared. However, the official website states that in episode 3, Paradise War will be omitted and Kenshi will play the leading role.

Post by: GP cadet 87 on June 13, 2020, 10:27:39 AM
Finally saw the episode, and...well, some interesting things, and some, not bad, weird things.

First of all, really sweet that, not only do we see the GXP cast again (without Gyoukuren), this episode revolves around them. I think it's really nice that Seina can return to earth with his family, which officially include Acha and Airen (the elf princess from Renza IIRC) now. The only sad thing is is that we only get glimpses of Seina and his girls interacting, and what their home life was like in the years between OVA 3 & 4.

It's very weird seeing the GXP cast like this tbh, but awesome too. Neeju grown up into a hot teenager where before she was a token loli character who acted like the streotypical little sis brocon. D and Mitsuki being reincarnated. Fuku having a (hot) humanoid form. NB being a hot woman's soul (?) trapped inside a robot. For any American Tenchi fan not aware of the extended material, this would be extremely confusing. I still don't know who Qwansa Panta is from watching the episode. She seems like Seto's sister rather than a clone/split personality, or whatever the hell the doujins/novels call her.

Of course, the other big thing is the introduction of the Paradise War story line. I'm really effin' confused by the whole premise. Pirates, like Vikings, are a job title, not an ethnicity/sovereign state. I don't get how unafilliated mercenary criminals can form a country. I get that there are pirate guilds, groups of pirates working together already, but why would the Galactic Federation wantt to unite them? To control crime? I really don't understand it. Seina's job I get; with his good luck, he can literally prevent anything from going wrong with the battle royale. But the entire setup for this fight is baffling to me. Can some one please

The relationship between Seina and Tenchi is very interesting now. They both grew up together as simple earthlings, but now they will be living together with their extended families. Now, like Amane and Kiriko said, they've made Earth the largest concentration of power in the universe. I would like a potential sixth season to cover the doujins of the two families living together

OK...What's the history of "Mirror Seto", aka Quis (Kuis) Panta? For a start, she looks nothing like Seto. She seems to have some sort of rivalry with Seto, based on OVA 5, episode 02. She also seems to work for GXP if Ringo is dressing both Seto and Kuis down. But Kuis (as the official subs spell her name) is well known to Sasami, Ayeka, and Noike.

What happened on Renza to have Kuis apparently unhappy with Sasami?

Also, under what context does the powerful Seto-sama have to sit seiza due to a GXP financial inquiry? I'm guessing this is referencing something they did in the GXP novels.
Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: Ricin on June 14, 2020, 10:14:26 AM
Short History of Quis Panta. After the Mikagami went on a pirate killing spree, Seto went into a coma. They made a mirror warrior of her to keep her important role in intelligence and military affairs active. Now that things have calmed down, Quis is her premiere intelligence asset. Using her shape shifting ability and ability to become someone else through intense study (similar to Mimakasa Subaru from food wars) allowing Seto to plan for countermeasures of her enemies.

They are not rivals as much as they are like sisters, because they share each others memories they are extremely close and are both caught up in the same mischief because of that closeness. Both are being dressed down by Ringo because of the cost of the Renza arc story or some non-sense that was probably part of the resolution to the Renza Arc. Ringo is not powerful in many cases, but in the field of the accounts of Jurai ... there is no greater demon. Ringo is not just Seto's accountant, she is the head of the Hyena Corp. Which means if the numbers are wrong your ass his hers.

Quis would be well know to Sasami, Ayeka, and Noike because they are all relatives by adoption or by blood to Seto and as Quis is the head of the local corp (could be an odd translation, might mean Kamiki house's private internal security or intelligence and bodyguard unit) which would be in charge of their security. Quis is unhappy that Sasami spilled the beans to the others about even going to Renza.

As Seto's mirror Warrior she was ultimately supposed to take the fall for the drama and hassle at the Seina's original wedding. Instead Quis escaped to Repeushi and started helping Seina in the Renza Arc.

About why Seto and Quis have to take a tongue lashing about money from Ringo is set up in the novels early on. Seina is rich even in the context of Galactic Nations. Kiriko may be handling his finances on the home front but the money from his capture of 4800+ pirate ships, the incalculable sums of money willed to him by Widow upon her death and whatever other treasures and claims that Seina technically owns is being borrowed from by Seto for other clandestine operations. JURAI HAS BORROWED A LOT OF SEINA'S MONEY. Ringo doesn't mind personally because she knows it strengthens Seina's grip on Seto in he ever needed it, but she will not tolerate money being wasted by Seto. I repeat Ringo is the head of they Hyena Corp for a reason.

I hope that helps explain stuff.

While I like that that this OVA is tying all the Tenchi related storylines together, I also sort of wish that this that GXP and Paradise War would have been given their own shows, especially Paradise War. While I love that the events of the GXP novels have been canonized and animated, just seeing snippets of them interacting and referencing stuff during the time skip is a painful tease. It's obviously hard to sort out my feelings on this season so far. I'm not bored, angry or disappointed, but not thrilled by what I've seen either.

Showing the Paradise War story line here is taking away from the screen time of the main Tenchi cast. That's really the only major negative I have, besides the lack of comedy and action. I don't mind exposition, but the story needs to be balanced by other, more dramatic/entertaining stuff. Tenchi casually TELEPORTING INTO SPACE AND SUMMONING LIGHT HAWK WINGS LIKE HE'S TOSSING A BASEBALL was like, a minute and a half at most. I know Tenchi is OP as hell, but the scene could've been extended IMHO.

Hopefully we'll see a bit more action for the rest of the season.

I agree. However, I get the strong sense that Kajishima-sensei isn't interested in having adaptations made of his novels. As I see it, in his mind, he's done these stories in print form, so if folks want to know what happened, they need to buy the novels. We gaijin aren't factored into that thinking.

As such, he takes what was already established in the GPX/Paradise War novels, and then continues from there. Audiences are just expected to have read the novels and understand why characters from Dual! are suddenly on an island with an adult Seina.

Wasn't Paradise War the exact opposite of this? It was made hoping AIC would turn it into an anime. I'm pretty sure I remember reading that somewhere, probably one of Kajishima's doujins. I might be misremembering though.

OVA 5 does seem to include a major antagonist. OVA 1, 2 and 3 have a major antagonist.  I am a little confused about the details of the main antagonist.  A major antagonist will help OVA 5.

OVA 5 should include a few clues to a future sequel.  The sequel must center around one of Tenchi's sons He does one  confirm son whose mother is Washu. One possible title for the series isTENCHI MUYO! THE NEXT GENERATION.

I'm not sure there will be one. The whole reason Seina's harem is building a house on Earth Masaki lands is because it is the safest place in the universe. And as we saw, it took Tenchi mere moments to deal with a pirate ship that came by. There's no one who can touch Tenchi or his harem.

AIC doesn't have the money to do a proper Tenchi series. That is why OVA 3,4 & 5 are essentially the set-ups and interludes between arcs.

I wish they would just do a proper Tenchi series again. Maybe even do ISM 2 now that they have properly set up Geminar

We're at a point where AIC is, for lack of better comparison, the Gainax in this supposed series continuity. It is appalling that they hit such a good stride with Geminar and Star Blazers 2199 in the early 2010s only to splinter into standalone indie houses like Troyca and whomever else. I'm all for helping Kajishima-san increase visibility of the light novels if it means getting a proper Tenchi anime again, I just don't know how to begin that dialogue.

What Seto is planning through Paradise War is her strengthening of power.
First of all, I should say that her philosophy of action has been consistent since it first appeared in GXP anime. Its purpose is to secure overwhelming financial and power not only in the Galactic Federation and GP, but even in Jurai.
However, Seto is not a dictator. Seto has a character similar to that of the 戦国武将(Sengoku-Busyo); Warring States Warlords in Japan. She also has a desire for the peace.
Her behavior:
Seto succeeded in making Seina her subordinate,
She assimilated Ryo-ohki's sister battleship Fuku and Jyurai (Kiriko)'s ship Mizuki, and got one of the strongest battleships in the galaxy,
She also succeeded in marrying her adopted daughter, Noike, to Tenchi in a political fashion.
And in Paradise War, she will give the winner sovereignty of the earth and a seat in the Galactic Federation (...in my memory). However, since the Earth has the strongest Masaki and Yamada family in the universe, it would be impossible for the winner to exercise control. And Seto can exert influence on that one seat.

The story is still stagnant in the novel GXP:
Acha is a Wau child, Airen is a princess of the kingdom in Lenza, Jovia is just a mage,
The story will not be complemented until the GXP sequel is published.

In episode 2 of OVA5:
Seina didn't attend the Kamidake II conference, so there's no shot he shows with Jovia,
My guess is that Gyokuren is a Queen of the kingdom in Lenza, so she might be in a different position than the other brides in Seina (but she was in OVA4...),
D and Miki are humanoid. Their Cabbit form has not yet been visualized in OVA.

OVA 5 episode 2 takes place after the time skip. Renza Arc is over and the Renza Royalty are simply shirking their duties so they can stay with Seina. Jovia is a bit of a mystery but remember the Renza Arc has ZINV and HIMC fighting after a year (As set-up in the Epilouge of GXP 14). Jovia could have been in the OVA 4 Kenshi meeting but probably did not fully exist yet in his mind so he just ignored her.

I hope they show Kiriko training Kenshi on how to pilot a mech, it explains his brutal fighting style in the coliseum during the invasion episode in ISM. A flashback to her fight in her mech against the men in Renza who underestimated her would be amazing but will likely never happen.

he hasn't met her in the gxp part 2 part of the show. He's already met her in ova 5... ova 5 is several years after gxp part 2 and he probably married jovia first from what the doujin seems to say.

D is the real d.

Gyokuren is the queen the polished mirror country of renza. She's busy being the queen

seina was busy looking around. he was lost deep in thought.
(It's odd to think that Fuku was kidnapped here only a few days ago.)
the D cabbit jumped onto his bed and the kirche cabbit jumped on the desk where he used to store NB
"How are you feeling d? Is this comparable to the homes in the era you were from?"
"yes" a monitor like a speech bubble opened up in front of the cabbit and the figure of D appeared.

the cabbit had a collar that incorporated transmitters that were thought linked so that the words of the clones could be communicated.
"The things I have seen have varying aspects from both the initial civilization and the various interstellar navigating civilizations I encountered, there are many commonalities.
But the image you showed me of your home planet which I saw in the documents given to me were the most surprising. "
"oh you mean Earth?"
"Yes. That is exactly like ZINV's planet, where the former master lived. It's as if I was looking at the exact same thing. "

"There's even a common point between Japanese people and Seina's country in particular. Do You know about the concept of a parallel world? "
"Yes, it's a concurrent world, do you think that's such a thing exists?"
"Yes. Actually, in the world where the former master of ZINV was born, it was confirmed to exist. And the point were it manifested was at a decision of the Master 's father that caused the world to divide into two, ZINV and the Master were the parallel world equivalents of the same person and so reality had to be reintegrated without ZINV."

"That's a terrible story, I cant believe ZINV has that kind of power."
"Maybe my planet and your former master's planet are parallel worlds?"
"I think this is technically different, but it may be the same general concept in a broad sense. Either way you met ZINV and have become my new master now. "

"... .... So, were your old master and I very similar?"
"The figure of my former master was better in appearance"
"Oh, is that so ... Ha ha ha ... ...."
"But the astral pattern seems to be quite similar. That's why ZINV awakened and you became It's master Mr.Seina...Miki and Kirche are also very similar in nature to the people i once knew. "
" Miki sempai and Kirche?"
"Especially Miki's appearance, She looks almost exactly like the person I once knew. ZINV told me that people like kiriko are gathering around master Seina with the astral patterns that closely resembles the four people who lived with my former master. It seems like things balance only when four people who resemble our whole group are gathered though not when 4 who are all similar to each other each other assemble."

"But even when its our time, i bet she will want you to suffer a little bit like this..., Because Ms. Mitsuki is a tsundere" D said  D saw the sight of the four of them in this room nostalgically.
Apparently this resembled her original life.
"MY name is not mitsuki!"  D often mistook Miki as mitsuki. Everything looked just like everything in her past life to her

Miki Steinbeck and Mitsuki Sanada,
Kirche and Mitsuki Rara,
D and original D,
Fuku, *Widow and Schwael Yayoi.
*Widow is a killer who appeared in Volume 2 of the novel GXP.

Fuku may become a beautiful woman like Yayoi in the future.

Mirror seto is. Quis is just an avatar. A fake persona that seto and mirror seto use to get privacy. In gxp part 2 seto has a scene as quis where she talks to dr.clay and reveals that as Naja she had a crush on clay.   

Quis is Clark Kent mode for seto. and the mirror isn't supposed to have her own personality she's supposed to be a mirrored extension of seto but that synchronization broke .

I thought that was the case until I sat down and translated it out it seems that Naja was the one talking about it not clay as I originally thought. I could be wrong
---- kuisu is interviewing clay over what happened at tarrants base


"Do you resent washu? Do you want revenge?
"So... I'm guessing you're still mad at Washu... do you still want revenge?"
---revenge here can also mean a do over-----

"I do not! I mean that from the bottom of my heart! I have decided I want no part in anything naja akara and washu hakubi are up to! they are pestilence gods. devil women who would only waste my money!"

"Yes... but... Naja Akara has died, don't you know that?"
"You don't know that woman they call Naja Akara.She is far worse then washu, She's an evil woman who loves to make a scene, I refuse to believe she's dead, it's been 5,000 years since they thought washu died and she's still alive now isn't she? "
"well maybe... But wouldn't that be a bit coincidental, I bet that would make you a little nostalgic..."

"The only thing that they remind me of is the era of my greatest bout of bad luck, it was a terrible point in my life!"
"Well, I don't think she hates you ... But well, I understand your feelings about her ... ...."
Kuisu broke her line of sight and bit down to the bone on some thigh meat.

"Why are you talking as if you know Naja ?"
"They have plenty of records and data on her."
"Oh, by the way you also have a similar person named Seto where you live,
if you imagine her being even more childish and restless then you have Naja."
"I...Is that so ... That sounds dreadful.... Doesn't it."
Although he was certainly approaching the truth, he didn't reach it not because he was unable to, but he unconsciously stopped himself from reaching the conclusion. In other words, He really didn't want to be involved with them from the bottom of his heart.
(I'm not going to be tsundere about it, but I'm a bit lonely as someone with the same memory as her.)

all memories will become nostalgic memories with the years ...
honestly she was grateful for his opinion because she really didn't want to involve clay. He was a troublesome person to make an enemy of.

I can't believe I just noticed this.

Anyone else realize that Seina looks completely different from his 'classic' GXP look from OVA 4 episode 4? Remeber that Kenshi is probably somewhere 4-6 I believe in that episode, so Seina should have gone through puberty at that point.

I remember reading Eff's summaries of Paradise Wars that Seina is using an alias while he oversees things, but has he also disguised himself?

I think so. But it's not clear to me how Seto did it.

Because little is known about Kuis-sama apart from her involvement in Seto's intelligence ring, she could be a THIRD Seto from the beginning arc to GXP (Dual OVA). I don't think Kajishima is pulling too many rabbits out of the hat with this, the whole gang is just finally coming together from existing verses.

In addition, Eff, what was the last count of political power bases scattered throughout the known galaxy? Right up to OVA 3, Jurai and Airai were the biggest, and the latest episode covers some new effort to now round up the extant pirate activity and pool the captured ship crews together into one nation state. Was that Mihoshi helping in the exchange?

Anyway, I just wonder if Kajishima is a study on the Drake equation statistics (https://www.axios.com/milky-way-intelligent-alien-civilizations-318a60e0-df41-4bf3-9706-8be70e7c3268.html), which has hit the news again. From the link:

QuoteWhat they did: The new study uses Earth as a model for how life may form in other parts of the Milky Way.
"There should be at least a few dozen active civilizations in our galaxy under the assumption that it takes 5 billion years for intelligent life to form on other planets, as on Earth," Christopher Conselice, co-author of the study, said in a statement. "The idea is looking at evolution, but on a cosmic scale."
The new estimate factors in the likelihood that stars host Earth-like planets in their habitable zones and the history of star formation throughout the galaxy.

OVA 5 should include a mystery involving what happen to Washu's old friend and colleague Naja. Lady Seto  is likely  Naja's daughter.  I do suspect that Ryoko and Ayeka having  their first two daughters.  The best names  for Ryoko' and Ayeka's daughters are Kiyone and Achika.  Kiyone honors Tenchi's mother from Ryo-Ohki. Achika honors Tenchi's mother from Universe and Tenchi in Tyoko.

He never even married kiriko amane ryoko and neiju.never made it to the alter. He may have some how ended up married to jovia. Of course we don't know what's happened since gxp isn't done.

So I'm finally caught up and I only have two thoughts:

1. They need a budget. I wonder if kickstarter backed by the super fans would have helped these OVAs.

2. What comes next? These OVAs are all about talking to further build this world... but is it leading to anything? Is there a reason we need to know all these characters and their relationships? I'm hoping the next series is less about telling, more about showing.

In general it is always nice to visit the Tenchiverse but I can't shake the feeling that I'm settling for less here.

They had a budget. They (Anime International) worked with Xebec on Geminar, and did a 2012 re-release with Funimation for the OVA 1 / 2 on BluRay. It is not like Ai Tenchi Muyo drained them.

edit: I should clarify, Funimation apparently did not want to continue doing business in the overseas distribution after Ai Tenchi. According to comments on OVA 5's Crunchyroll page (and a smattering of AnimeNewsNetwork updates) it sounds like the material is in limbo and CR probably has enough Tenchi fans on board to want to host it.

I wish that we could have seen some focus on the main Tenchi crew and their antics, especially Ryoko and Mihoshi, but it seems like Kajishima has most grown uninterested in them.

No disrespect to MK, but I think things would've turned out better if Hiroshi Negeshi was involved!

ya idk about that his tenure isn't the greatest and Ai Tenchi was pretty mediocre, what we need is a new Tenchi TV series set in the Kajishima verse of things that isn't an OVA format.

Agreed. The GXP anime needs a reboot. The old series is almost like night and day from the novels. Besides, it's obviously not canon  anymore. I think the Tenchi fandom in Japan seems 'healthy' enough to warrant giving Seina and Co. the FMA: Brotherhood treatment

The cast has grown so large that 26 episodes minimum to give everyone proper screen time.

The problem with that is it's not going to nessesarily fit into 26 episodes.  Atleast 4 episodes of content were cut. Some things clearly were cut out because there not tv friendly.

Your not going to see corpse fucking couch fucker ed from mask wearing tarrant on tv. Or seina getting a nude private dance by maya. Or ryoko exploding into a bloody corpse mess. Or washu molesting seinas waifus. Probably won't be allowed to discuss maya fucking a royal and squirting the jizz into a cup to illegally ensemnate Alan's wife either.   

Also don't forget there's alot of clucking hen scenes I cut out from my translation that do nothing to further the plot. If you want to know what a clucking hen scene is it's the entirety of ova 4 episode 4 where the girls all sit around in bulk and specualte on the plot and swoon over seina instead of the plot happening.


I hope one day to have enough tenchi footage and free time that I can finish my fan visual novelization lol. It really makes me want to see a reboot. 

The novels capture so much that would be lost in translation to show but I still wanna see it lol.

You know I'll be honest, I had no idea he was involved in Ai Tenchi Muyo, a show I cared very little about in the first place. I'm mostly just trying to figure out where the original magic came from and how it could be regained. I did like a few of Negishi's other shows like Black heaven. As far as the continuation of Tenchi goes, my ideal scenario would be isolated stories in movie form. Ideally, something that still focuses on the main cast.

Anyway, I agree with this. I love the original cast, but do not care much about most of Kajishima's other characters. Perhaps the Tenchi manga creator Hitoshi Okuda would be willing to help Kajishima with writing stories featuring them? Say what you want, but he genuinely loves and is interested in the characters.

In OVA 4, it is indicated that Seina is married to all eight girls. But then OVA 5 muddies the water.

we have no concrete idea if he marries the girls at the end of the renza ark yet. but yes you are right it sure does.

(Back after a hard drive tragedy)

As far as I can recall from the novels the ones said to be Seina's wives in marriage are Kiriko, Amane, Ryoko B., Neige, and (cabbit by participation) Fuku. Miki, D, Kirche (a.k.a. the rest of the Dual! girls) are cabbits so at most all of them are also cabbits by participation during the first ceremony. Note that this ceremony never really finished as Seina was kidnapped by the Renza Court Ladies (Karen, Suiren, Gyokuren, Hakuren). As I don't have a text file copy of the last GXP Novel volume yet I can only go by the post-Renza-time-skip scene in the GXP anime where it was implicitly shown that apparently Seina married the Renza Court Ladies as well (making 8 wives in the first ceremony + 4 cabbits). This fits in well with the stuff shown on OVA 5.

As for other wives in line for Seina, it was explicitly implied via various characters' dialogues that Seina will be made to marry more and more "volunteers" women because it will allow the many political bodies in the galaxy to monitor his existence well.

The most obvious ones "waiting for the next few rounds of marriage ceremonies" based on their dialogues in the novel are: Tatsuki Ringo, Minaho, Kuramitsu Mikami, Tsukiko Masaki, Kuisu Panta, Kagami-Seto (via Kuisu Panta).

The ones implied who are going to be "made to marry" Seina (a.k.a. being officially "assigned" to deal with duties regarding him) are Minaho's Court Ladies: Mizune Masaki, Otoka Masaki, Fuuka Masaki. And Mikage (who is still a baby in Jurai) is also "reserved" to marry Seina in the future. As of OVA Dai Yon-ki Mikage and co. have stated they aren't allowed to publicly and officially meet Seina yet (although they are already in charge of his finance management in the galaxy) because it is still not publicly known in the Galactic Federation that Yosho and the Masaki Family of Earth are actually alive. They will be given permission to directly interact with Seina after Yosho's survival declaration and the inclusion of the Masaki Family of Earth to the Royal Houses' ranks.

Apart from them, the rest of the ladies implicated to sooner or later also get a piece of Seina are the Renza girls Sojyu, Kaguya, Airen, (Souren??? Daga otoko da.), Jovia, Maya (just wants the DNA), Makihi (Maya's mom so maybe after DNA ONLY as well), Acha (still a kid in the novels but she's a living sacrifice to Seina and JINV so she can't go home to her planet and stays with Seina), and really, just hints and bits and pieces blended in through the novels' dialogue so it's hard to really count the rest. JINV's humanoid terminal and the Philosopher's Stone's humanoid form might also be included there for all I know but that's going to at least be hinted by the last volume still not out. It has been confirmed by Yosho though that Airi does want a piece of Seina which is why she keeps on bothering him, and Yosho has stated that she will probably mellow out if Seina gives her what she wants. He apparently doesn't mind taking care of the resulting offspring back on Earth (that's some complicated husband wife understanding there).

Not quite. This is Jailbait Sasami, late teens, probably still in school.
Full Grown Sasami is physically identical to Tsunami.
The easiest way to tell is not by Sasami, but by Kenshi and Ryo-Ohki. He's at the same point as in the last panel here, still a few years from going to Geminar, and episode 3 isn't long after 2, so we can assume Ryo-Ohki is full grown in both.

Kenshi is five years old in episode two. Rea had stated that Kenshi will be of school age.  The year for episode 2 is likely 2002. For the year of the birth Tenchi's and Ryoko's first daughter will be set in a later episode. Ideal name for Ryoko's and Tenchi's first daughter is Kiyone. The name Kiyone honors Tenchi's mother.

Well, episode 1 had JP Blu-Ray sales in the range of USD $87K according to another forum member months ago. That is enough to secure 5 key animators and do some promotionals. Episode 2 did show an improvement in both art direction but there were still missteps. I'm with Astro and a few others, they should have started another anime Geminar style with perhaps the True Tenchi novels as source material.

Finally watched episode 2. It was an improvement over the first episode, but still pretty dull. At least this episode we got a few different locations for the exposition dumps. It's neat seeing Tenchi using his god powers and all, but I wish we could have actually seen some of figuring them out. You could have done a whole OVA on Tenchi learning to use his powers.

So, the question that has been popping up in my head with OVA 5 lately is "Where is Katsuhito/Yosho?"

Am I missing something there?

I can think of intriguing reasons. Spending time with Airi? Could they possibly setting up the "death" of Katsuhito? How long has he been the old man at the shrine? Might it make sense for him come back as someone else younger while training Kenshi? (Although, IIRC, Kenshi refers to him as an "old man" when people asked him who trained him.)

But that's just wild speculation, really.
I also find it interesting that there seems to be an odd Katsuhito sized hole in the group shot in the opening credits... and that Seto's legs are not finished, as if someone is supposed to be in that spot.

Katsuhito has been known to fake his death.  Katsuhito can transform into a forty-something man  When he is true self, Katsuhito looks like he is his thirties.  In OVA 3's special episode, Katsuhito tells Tenchi tells the truth about himself.. Katsuhito is seen during Siena's visit to Earth. Ayeka and Ryoko are aware of Katsuhito's true identity.  Due to the location of the Masaki family Shrine's location, all Katsuhito has to do is to fake his death.  Almost everyone in Masaki Village is aware of what Katsuhito does to protect his true indntity. Even while the Masaki Family Shrine is an active religious  site,  it will seems that almost all of the people who visit the Shrine will not notice the sudden change in the Chief Priest of the Masaki. Only the few who know the truth are aware of Katsuhito changing his identity, again.

It's been at least a little while since, maybe a year. Ep.2 featured Kiriko talking about being sorry that Amane and Gyokuren weren't able to better advocate for Kenshi in the meeting.

but at least I know I haven't missed anything. I seem to know as much as anyone else about it."official business" is intriguing.As he's still secret it can't be Jurai business but I just got to the Paradise War doujin about Miron Pham being one of those people in Japan that know about everyone's connection to space. I guess he could be off smoothing over all of the increased activity.

Not likely. For one, AT&T are valuing it too highly- so not likely to sell. Plus, if they lowered the price and were sold it still might not matter as Crunchyroll seems to run pretty independently. I had the same worries during their previous buy-outs. Basically they've gone from Independent company> bought out by One company > Time Warner bought that company > AT&T bought them.

I guess there could be a slight concern because Sony already owns Funimation and there might be consolidation and probable price increases.

Tenchi-wise, Funimation is the current licensor for the rest of the franchise but seem to have passed on 4&5. If they were to consolidate, they'd have them exclusively again. Not that that's a huge issue either. Crunchyroll still sub-licenses their own releases through Funimation- despite the apparent conflict of interest. I would not be surprised at all if Crunchyroll releases 4&5 as a dual set once 5 is done. At one point they were supposed to move their releases to VIZ but that hasn't happened yet.

Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: Nonsuch Ned on August 29, 2020, 10:03:37 AM
I'm not fluent, but my curiosity got the better of me.
...so, Tenchi insta-kills the Borg...
At least watching the raw allows me to be one of the first to make a joke like that.
:speculate:
Wedding prep or not, the point of the entire OVA seems to preparing Kenshi. It will certainly feature sending him off. My question is whether or not they will also feature them bringing him back.
This episode also seems to confirm another consistent feature- showing what happens AFTER a story line told elsewhere without revealing the details of that story.

Since time goes so quickly on the other side, all of the events in Geminar could have spanned a couple days on their side. They could bring Kenshi back a week after they send him and Kenshi would return the oldest and most battle-hardened of the bunch-- with more kids than Tenchi OR Seina.

So, this series could very well end with them retrieving him.

I also am slightly curious if they do something else... might the  solution be to do a "Dual" and merge the Dimensions?
I know... big problems with that. In order to merge the dimensions the two before had to be destroyed. And if certain hints are to believed, Geminar is a far-faaaaaaaaar future version of Photon's "Sandy Planet"... which was shown to be a version of Earth.
I still think it's an option. Kajashima isn't usually into breaking parties up and while leaving Kenshi on Geminar would mean he loses his Tenchi family, bringing him back means Kenshi loses everyone he loves on that side.

Part of me hates the idea of merging the universes. I think they will bring Kenshi back, he will miss everyone and go back to that universe similar to Dual! PTA. I just want Tenchi and Seina to get married. Also who would be Kenshi's #1?

Chiaia Flan is your most likely, Yukine also has a strong claim. Also given that the kids would be wards of the state (assuming he has males) ... he could have  some kids and leave and it would be fully in line with that world's rules.

I would have liked it more if Tenchi and his crew visited Kenshi in their world as they could spend a year and only be gone a few days in their world.

Guys, the third episode has been uploaded already, with subs!

We went from a two-week wait to two days; I don't know whether to be happy or annoyed right now.

Edit: Well, now I'm DEFINITELY annoyed. At the 7 min mark, the audio and subtitles go out of sync. YOU ARE THE OFFICIAL SUBBERS FOR THIS CRUNCHYROLL, WTF?! i was so happy too...

Well, I'll try my best to soldier on, but this shouldn't happen with a major distributor; if you're gonna get out the subs faster, make sure they're up to standard quality!!

Edit 2: Ok, I went to Crunchyroll's page to watch it directly, it worked fine there.

Post by: GP cadet 87 on August 30, 2020, 12:20:38 PM
Sorry for double posting, just wanted to get my thoughts down about the episode while it it was fresh in my memory.

This episode suffers a lot of the same problems as the first episode. The second episode was all dialogue too, but at least I gave a damn about what the characters were saying. It's really cool that the Yamada and Misaki families are become physically and emotionally close. Even if it lacks the comedy or action that made the original OVA episodes so good, at least it's moving their story forward.

I REALLY feel all the Paradise War stuff should have been it's own spin-off OVA. While the Japanese fans obviously know who the PW character are already going in, I have no idea what they're like from this ep, and why I should give a damn about them. I understand the whole war games set up, and that's interesting tbh, but the ENTIRE episode was just the Masaki family hanging out with the PW cast, and not even INTERACTING with them in any meaningful way. If it wasn't for that closing poignant scene about Tenchi deciding to finally marry his harem, this whole episode would've been a complete waste of 28 minutes of my life.

The small budget of these OVAs really becomes painfully obvious too. The scene with Tenchi/Kenshi running in the forest was just ugly.

There is so much potential for good storytelling here. Just having Seina and Tenchi talk would've been interesting on it's own. Two guys who grew up together, one an ordinary dude who found out he's an alien prince of a galactic empire and the incarnation of God; the other a walking disaster area who became a galactic hero with an enormous harem of ever-growing number of women, going on adventures in space.

I really hope they drop this stupid tie-in shit; or at least TRY to make it interesting, but that's impossible. We know what all this training with Kenshi will lead up to.

Have Tenchi and Seina's wedding, and let's focus on the characters that we're actually interested in.

Post by: Maysiiu on August 30, 2020, 01:34:12 PM
Agreed. I feel like the PW elements are incredibly complex and could have their own OVAs. Either that or make the episodes longer to expand the narrative. The animation is jarring in this episode, some stills very pretty, others looked downright eye watering. Understandably it comes down to budget, but I guess we're happy to have got this far in the anime?!  :spends:

I have to admit seeing Tenchi finally coming to a conclusion (even though we already knew the outcome) felt like a relief and the narrative hopefully can move forward for the main Masaki family. I did enjoy the episode, especially the Tenchi / Ryoko scene (oh the nostalgia!)

I'm hoping for more detailed doujinshis past the IF series re: expansion of the Masaki family rather than the anime.

I'm stuck without internet and electricity and I had to go to Walmart to get internet to watch it raw... But I'm so stoked for seeing the episode with subs. So much fan service and when fuku throws people I fucking die laughing she's become an anti perv security system. I hate that my japanise is good enough to know alot of what's being said but not heavy details like ryoko clearly told tenchi she never thought she'd be happy like she is now. I need detaaaaails

It had a bit more than just sitting around and talking, but not a whole lot.
Seems like it's mostly to stir up interest in Paradise War when Kajishima picks it back up after wrapping up GXP.
A few more cute moments than the last two episodes though.
As ever, here's hoping SOMETHING happens in the next episode.

Good news for ya. The narrative probably will move forward for Tenchi and the girls. Something I noticed with the official website for OVA 5 after the release of episode 3 (Which I still haven't watched yet; gonna wait for a proper encode) that I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned yet; there were no new characters added to the site after episode 3 was released. To summarize the history of that...

Right after episode 1 was released: GXP cast (Seina and his harem) was added to the characters section, along with a few others
Right after episode 2 was released: Paradise War cast was added to the characters section (They got around to changing Sasami's images to teen Sasami, but that happened a good amount of time after episode 2's release)
Right after episode 3 was released: Characters section remained untouched

It's looking like we're getting what we were hoping for in the second half of this shebang. Seatbelts, everyone!
"Please let this be a normal field trip!" "With the Friz? No way!"

and I have to say, he's run out of series to tie into and I'm guessing he'd want to keep other GXP elements that tie into Renza or Raceppshi out of the story as they are of current concern to novel readers. 

A big maybe on a super early tease of something he wants to do in the future?

It might be nice to at least reintroduce us to a teen/ young adult Acha though. The last the novels said was that she was going to begin going  to classes, so she's probably moved on to the GXP academy.

Episode 3 did confirm that Ryoko is Tenchi's favorite wife.  Of Tenchi's wives, Noike will be considered to be the No. One Wife.  Since Ryoko is Tenchi's favorite,, she deserves the right to have Tenchi's first child. Ryoko's and Tenchi's first child is going to be a girl.  The best name for Tenchi's and Ryoko's first  daughter is Kiyone.  Kiyone will be after her Tenchi's mother Kiyone. Since Tenchi's and Ayeka's child is going to be a girl, the best name for her is Achika, Washu will likely confirmed the name to be the mother of Tenchi is Achika is the third Universe. At first,  Ayeka and Tenchi will be confused until Washu informs them that she is referring to the mother of Earth-2's and Universe's Tenchi. Earth-2 is the Earth in the movie Daughter of Darkness.

I have mix views about OVA 5, It should  have been a sequel of Ryo-Ohki.  As a sequel, OVA 5 will be a fine bridge between Ryo-Ohki, GXP, and War on Geminar. For the Tenchi Multiverse, there is no need to merged them.  We did get a hint that Daughter of Darkness's Earth and Ryo-Ohki's Earth are very similar.   After OVA 5, I do want a sequel which focus on Tenchi's oldest son.  I came to call the sequel TENCHI MUYO! THE NEXT GENERATION.  I do want the female protagonist of the series to be the main character. When it comes to a female protagonist being the MC, the anime harem series To Love-Ru Darkness gets the honor.

The aging thing is confusing to me, by episode three everyone looks so much older compared to the earlier episodes. Do we have a lot of time skips or something?

I do like that Tenchi is finally controlling his abilities though and thinking about mirage, took forever.

We also haven't seen Azusa, Misaki, and Funaho in OVA 5 yet, so they're also potentially lined up to appear later on. I mean, it's quite telling when even Seto has already appeared.

To be fair, if OVAs 2 and 4 are any indication, we might not see Ayeka's parents until the last episode. If at all.

Yup. :) As I mentioned above, about the only characters they could really throw into OVA 5 that haven't been yet are Yosho, Airi, and / or Ayeka's parents, and even they'd be able to move the plot with the "family" forward.

The moments when Ryoko and Tenchi were alone on the beach confirms the truth that Ryoko is Tenchi's favorite. Tenchi and the girls are getting married sometime before the end of OVA .  The births of Tenchi's first two daughters will likely be in episode 6.

Yeah, the main cast being regulated to secondary characters has by far been the worst part of OVAs 3-5 so far.

One thing I really like, though, is how Ayeka and Ryoko get along. Yes, their rivalry is arguably THE classic romcom anime rivalry, but it's nice to see them not going through the same routines over and over just for nostalgia's sake.

You really get the sense that they have become 'sisters' now. From what we've seen thus far, so has Seina's girls.

That probably won't last for much longer given the way that the most recent episode ended. Tenchi asked the girls to make a selfish request. I won't be surprised if that request ends up being "I love all of you, will you all marry me?" or something like that (Especially given that we know he marries all of them in the end anyway).

TLDR I don't think Tenchi's in standoff anxiety mode anymore, so to speak. Not as of this episode, anyway.

On a more fun note, I need to say this now. If someone ever makes a Tenchi fighting game (It'll probably never happen sadly given that we haven't gotten a proper Tenchi video game since the PlayStation and Saturn) and Fuku isn't a grappler, I'm gonna be disappointed. Fuku chucking Jovia and Miron around like ragdolls every time they bugged Kenshi was a fun little gag, even if just for this one episode.

That point in OVA 4 before the wedding where Ryoko brings Aeka the Jurian silk they were sent seemed to be the first time you really saw them getting along and simply having a conversation, even empathizing with each other a little. That was a deceptively important moment, they're getting along AND you could say it's when the royal family shows that they accept everyone. It goes slightly deeper in that otherwise mostly unenlightening OVA 4 novelization.

Ayeka and Ryoko relationship is one of my favorite parts of the series. It went from Ayeka being willing to let Ryoko die in OVA 1 to them calmly sharing a drink in OVA 3. One of my favorite parts of the show was how they felt like a family unit, and I wish the series had focused more on that. I'm not going to hold my breath that we'll ever get anything like that though, and I found a different series to fill the comfy family harem hole in my heart.

I think you may have inadvertently given us an idea of what other show Kajashima could tie in! In a weird backstory way. Photon!
We know that Tennyo is looking into Kiyone's confounding but brilliant research on parallel dimensions and other worlds- maybe her research led to her unraveling of the past dimension breaks?
I don't know if he has ever directly addressed what is "known" by most- that the World of Photon is the past version of Geminar.

on the other point... is "Tenchi IF" supposed to be a "what if" fantasy? He could do an adaptation of sorts of those- which would definitely be the SoL series that "could be."
If those are brought into canon, it narrows down the mystery of who the mother of the son that marries Masaki Masaki is. It would be either Sasami or Washu.

Miron Pham. Yes, PW character. There's a doujin that really goes deep into her. She was supposed to be a minor character but Kajishima ended up really liking her and disliking one of the main girls, so she got a lot more attention. Super Genius, graduated MIT or something super young and well into her early 20's looked like a kid. Once she developed, she became a super pervert. Her grandfather is, in essence, Illuminati.

Any idea why they are translating Banjo Island as Tabletop Island?
Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: Nonsuch Ned on September 18, 2020, 10:22:21 AM
Not fluent, or even too familiar with Kanji. I'm assuming it's actually probably pretty accurate.  The word that comes out as "Banjo" Island to us, and means (https://cdn.iconscout.com/icon/premium/png-64-thumb/banjo-21-570030.png) Island to us, probably actually does translate literally as "tabletop" island, or close to.

I am a researcher though...

I went to the Japanese wiki article for Paradise War (There is not one for it in the English wiki- yet) and, using Google translate, found that "南の島・盤上島" means "South Island, Banjojima" but if you break it down to "盤上島" you get "Board Island" and if you press the audio button it sounds like "Banjojima"
"盤上" ("Banjo") means "On board"
"盤" ("ban") means "board/tray/shallow bowl"

Thanks for the info.

It is not normal to translate island names though. I guess they wanted to avoid the musical instrument reference, but I get annoyed by translating names.

I'm not gonna assume it's COVID affecting production... at least not yet. Keep in mind that both today (September 21) and tomorrow are federal holidays in Japan (Respect for the Aged Day and the Autumn Equinox actually fell on back to back days this year, which doesn't happen very often), so they can't reveal anything even if they wanted to until Wednesday (In Japan, of course) earliest. That's probably why we haven't gotten any previews yet. While unrelated, it's probably the reason why Premium Bandai is waiting until the beginning of October to put the Digimon Pendulum Z Wave 2 up for preorder. I mention that only to further point out that the back-to-back holidays are holding a lot of info bombs up, not just for Tenchi.

That... and if it was COVID, AIC would have announced a delay already. Every other company has announced COVID delays as soon as their franchises were affected, so it would certainly be the same case here.

This is more likely to be the case than a delay given the factors I mentioned, and also because the official website didn't add any new characters after episode 3 like they did after the first 2. Tenchi's wedding is something they'd definitely take time and gradually build up to hyping, especially given how many people have been hoping to see it.

TLDR Don't panic about no preview yet. If it was COVID related, AIC would have announced a delay by now, which they didn't. More than likely, it has to do with the back-to-back holidays.

On a more serious note (Hence the double post), I took a moment to pass this Twitter post through Google Translate just now.

https://twitter.com/tenchi4th/status/1306763877858779142

Tenchi Muyo! The 4th volume of Ryo-Ohki is also produced. Work is in progress quietly. A little while ago, the work around the sound of Volume 4 was completed. Due to corona measures, we couldn't record all together...
^ Google Translate stuffs, LOL

TLDR Production timing for episode 4 wasn't affected by the pandemic (In fact, the post outright states that sound production for the episode is done); the voice actors had to record their lines from home, that's all (The post outright states that the voice actors couldn't voice their lines together).

I guess we can consider this as confirmation that there won't be a delay. :)

Apart from them, the rest of the ladies implicated to sooner or later also get a piece of Seina are the Renza girls Sojyu, Kaguya, Airen, (Souren??? Daga otoko da.), Jovia, Maya (just wants the DNA), Makihi (Maya's mom so maybe after DNA ONLY as well), Acha (still a kid in the novels but she's a living sacrifice to Seina and JINV so she can't go home to her planet and stays with Seina), and really, just hints and bits and pieces blended in through the novels' dialogue so it's hard to really count the rest. JINV's humanoid terminal and the Philosopher's Stone's humanoid form might also be included there for all I know but that's going to at least be hinted by the last volume still not out. It has been confirmed by Yosho though that Airi does want a piece of Seina which is why she keeps on bothering him, and Yosho has stated that she will probably mellow out if Seina gives her what she wants. He apparently doesn't mind taking care of the resulting offspring back on Earth (that's some complicated husband wife understanding there).

Responding to an old comment via a search, because it seems to be the only one that mentions "Airen" in this thread.

I was checking something different in ep.2 and noticed something I missed.

When the girls are talking about who will be living at the house Kiriko says "Acha-chan and AIREN-san will need to disguise themselves as humans" - which not only confirms the barely there so far Airen as a wife, but could be oddly counting out Kaguya,Sojyu, and any other exotic species... at least from living with them. I guess they could be included but stuck keeping the fort in Renza?

And, BTW, Jovia is a "wife"? To tell the truth I just think of her as a prankster that came along for the ride. But in the same scene Kiriko is including her as someone as part of the house.
Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: Ricin on September 24, 2020, 01:24:39 AM
I have a theory. After every couple of sets completed Seina gets a trouble maker to balance the karma equation. Airi played that role in the original Arc. Jovia is it in Renza Arc. Paradise War is not a Seina focused arc do not troublemaker. So after every so many he gets a trouble maker. Got one on the first group, then another on his 5th, next one would be on his 9th? if we ever get that far in the story.

I have also had a similar theory about the emblem of the Yamada house scene on the guys (Except the Balta Son) in the -If- doujins. The symbol is a circle Bisected into quarters with 3 short protrusions on 1 side and a single protrusion on the opposite side. In Seina's groups there is always a commonality amongst the girls with a single outlier.

1st set of wives Kiriko, Amane, Ryoko and Neeje (3 Space, 1 Earthling; 3 Women, 1 Child-bodied; 3 Non-pirate, 1 Pirate)
2nd set of wives (3 Princesses, 1 Queen)
3rd set Miki, Fuku/Widow, Kirche, D. (3 AI/Astral in Bioroid, 1 Biological Female; 3 Good, 1 Evil)
4 set of Wives Tskiko, Mikami, Quis/Mirror Seto, Mahiki ( 3 World Leaders, 1 Housewife)
5th Set of "wives" from Renza Arc, (3 Biological Females, 1 Biological Male)

Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: Nonsuch Ned on September 24, 2020, 02:46:36 PM
I can't quite agree with a core part of that.

I simply cannot see Airi as part of the harem- some girls just don't fit and she's one. I guess it's why I don't see Jovia as one, because she is in the same mold. Naja/Seto could also be in that category- she may be a flirt occasionally but most of the behavior came from Kuis acting as mirror Seto, like on Imuim. It's almost as there's a fifth astral pattern that serves as an outside irritant. Like Ayuko got herself stuck in this karmic wheel just to screw with Kazuki.

Then there's Tennyo, she belongs to no harem. She is somewhat secretly a mischievous woman who takes after her mother, but not quite the same as Airi or Jovia.

As part of my wiki updates I consolidated the "wives and possible wives" lists (combined the possibles with Washu's list). I'm up to nine now (with lots of question marks and x's). The weirdest is still Ringo's, because she's still the only one in her group. But her placement in a group all by herself comes from Washu's list in the novel. Could be her other accountants

Post by: Nonsuch Ned on September 24, 2020, 09:56:38 PM
I hate to just keep popping more and more questions, but where else am I going to ask?

Another bit in episode two (as I'm looking into Kuis),

The bit where Kuis realizes the three know that she's Seto's Mirror.

SO, they go to where Ryu-Oh is regenerating, Kyoko's terminal is there (I assume the whole ship is hiding in the same area of Washu's subspace).
I don't have a problem believing that Kyoko has matured to a first generation level thanks to Washu's tweaking. And Kyoko being an immature and curios being might look into the secrets of other ships.
but the actual dialogue....

K.P. - "I guess Tenchi-dono has ascended Ryu-Oh-chan"
Sasami - "And that's how your secret was revealed"

It would make more sense to me if Kyoko somehow got it from Mikagami... why would Ryu-oh know anything?
What does "ascending Ryu-Oh" even mean?

:emot-iiam:
Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: Nonsuch Ned on September 28, 2020, 11:23:49 AM
Oh well... I guess my guess would be that Tenchi somehow gave Ryu-Oh 1st generation abilities too? Or a higher realm of conscientiousness to connect with far away trees? I guess the second might give it the ability to know things it normally wouldn't... and Kyoko would also get it from her and pass it along.
Can't you just hear her saying to whoever, like a child, "Hey! Hey! You know what? Guess what?! Ryu-same just told me that Seto is Kuis and Kuis is Seto and something about a mirror! What's that mean?"
I guess it makes sense for Kuis to press Sasami too, as Tsunami would basically be aware of all secrets, but Sasami should know to keep them secrets.

You're getting to know me by now...  :speculate:
Here's some more...

Another week, still no new trailer. No new VA cast announcements.
Possible they're intentionally keeping it quiet?
If one does come out it might just be a few of them speaking vaguely about "things" and quick shots of who knows what. I still contend the only way to tie more Kajashima series into the OVA would be a deep revealing dive into the past- which Kiyone's research would be a key to introducing. It would be a way for Kajashima to share all those old details in his head and doujins that past shortened episode counts didn't allow him to include before.
They could give the classic anime title used so many times before "Secrets and Lies."

I'm pretty sure it is 2nd... I doubt she would have been considered for Empress with a 3rd (and the previous one seemed to really want her to do it), and it would certainly help with her espionage... and storing planetary sized ships in its subspace...  but I'm blanking on the info it got... I remember Fuku/Mizuki influencing Recepshi in the battle with The Big Daruma but the young ones wouldn't care much about information.
Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: Ricin on October 01, 2020, 12:50:48 PM
Information that was aquired was make up/armament/ crew of various ships and probably schematics of the "Die DaRuma". That explains how they were doing such precision strikes on the engine of the of planetary warship.

I am sure the Information teams would extract information like criminal records and forensic accounting after the fact.
Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: Nonsuch Ned on October 01, 2020, 03:23:40 PM
Yeah, I was  right about that part. 12 chp. 4 Seto was riding in the Kamidake/Mizuki for its maiden voyage along with Mitoto & baby Mikage, etc., it was Mizuki getting the info.

...although it just occurred to me, why would Recepshi have data on the Big Daruma? Obviously it did, but there wasn't really a great reason for it. It's not a pirate ship or supposed to be a spy ship and it's supposed to keep to itself. You'd think the Big Daruma would have protections too, so not only did it spy on it, it did a really good job and avoided getting caught I guess it's just best practices, gotta get what info it can get in case their clients double-cross them.


...but they seem to talk about Mikagami being a 2nd generation a few times in chapter 11, comparing Mizuki to Mikagami, seina asks if Mikagami could order Fuku too (but she doesn't work like that or even like Ryo-Ohki).

War on Geminar releasing over a decade ago really hurt this storyline's impact IMO. If I didn't know where Kenshi's story was heading, I would be 100% into OVA 5. Now I'm just hoping that the last 2 eps will put focus back onto the main TM cast, leaving the door open for OVA 6.

The schedule was somewhat problematic, but it was said that the staff was able to meet the schedule as a result of their efforts.

I noticed a couple on youtube a while ago. You can get a general idea by just using YouTube's auto-translate closed captioning feature (the same thing I do with the episode previews). Since the drama is a very simple conversation without talk-over, it's better than some. I think the two I listened to were both discussions with Tokimi. One with Kiriko... the other with Tennyo(?) but they were so inessential, I can't remember at all what they were about.

I have no idea what that means. Part of me thinks they're delaying putting out a new set until they can also sell out of their OVA3 sets in order to put out one that (logically) combines them.
Hopefully the Tenchi properties haven't bombed for them, I've often wondered if that's the case because of the fact that they are STILL selling the "limited edition" boxset of the movies.

That was easily the best episode of OVA 5 so far. Kenshi's training was a blast to watch. Seina and Tenchi basically telling Shou that now that he is involved in Galactic Federation affairs, he's pretty much screwed for life was funnier the more you think about it. Especially when they talked about hanging out at bars to vent to each other, that was a great image in my head.

The highlight of the episode was Seina, Tenchi and Shou tearing through the rogue pirates (that's who those ships were, right?). A nice little slice of action showing how the two main leads of the Tenchi series have adapted to their new lives, while the new guy is struggling to take everything in. It's a nice sempai/kouhai relationship they're developing with each other

It was nice that we got a better sense of who the Paradise War characters are; definitely a big improvement from episode 3, where it felt like nothing was happening and the new characters left no impact.

And Jovia and Maron were great, devouring the scenery every second they were on screen.

I gotta be honest; seeing the new girls show up again at the end sort of annoyed me. I was hoping that we were past this arc. There's only 2 eps to go. I really hope that the upcoming PVs confirm what we're all hoping for.

That short scene with Tenchi and girls walking by Kenshi as he wakes, flashing him those enigmatic smiles, right after Tenchi's proposal the previous night, was really sweet.

Here's hoping OVA 5 can keep building momentum and end on a high note next year. This was definitely a big step in the right direction.

I gotta be honest; seeing the new girls show up again at the end sort of annoyed me. I was hoping that we were past this arc. There's only 2 eps to go. I really hope that the upcoming PVs confirm what we're all hoping for.

That short scene with Tenchi and girls walking by Kenshi as he wakes, flashing him those enigmatic smiles, right after Tenchi's proposal the previous night, was really sweet.

Here's hoping OVA 5 can keep building momentum and end on a high note next year. This was definitely a big step in the right direction.

Thanks to Ricin we will have the OVA 5 Novel and you bet your ass... whatever he told them is probably in that novel

The highlight of the episode was Seina, Tenchi and Shou tearing through the rogue pirates (that's who those ships were, right?).
Those were all Earth forces. Katsuhito (Yay! Where you been?) seemed to having a meeting with someone at the imperial palace- telling him "what's what and don't try that a again."  Those were simple Earth satellites.

I'm trudging closer to end of the Machine translated parts of Paradise War now and have found a couple examples of Seina having to deal with them. The scene with Zinv and the subs was basically a recreation of one in the first book. The last chapter of Volume 2 has the CIA using Shou's old friends to infiltrate and get info on the island (threatening to destroy the town company if they don't play along) and sending an imposter Miron in. It fails miserably, of course.

Yeah, Volume 1 and 2 are up in the wiki.
https://tenchi.fandom.com/wiki/Paradise_War_Volume_1
https://tenchi.fandom.com/wiki/Paradise_War_Volume_2
Just got through writing a summary for the first episode/ first half of the third novel. (only in my sandbox until I write the other two)  That one chapter is PACKED. I try to be concise but the summary for this part alone is going to be gigantic.

first part, the fun part, introduces Karutia, the new girl who spends most of her time hiding in the bushes spying/stalking Shou.

2nd part, a little heavy
Alan shows up, Loretta actually lives on the island with their kid. He abandoned her with their new debt. He has the idea that he can sell his expertise (as former partner of Seina) to the guild that wants it. Alea finds him and tries to pay him off to leave. Seina and Loretta find him, Loretta ends up punching him in the stomach so hard he spits up blood. that would be funnier if it weren't for the largest third part.

3rd part, holy crap
Palty's story may be the darkest thing Kajishima has written, close to the Photon emperor keeping his wife's  severed head in his torso... but that wasn't all him, was it?

Basically, she was kept in an age accelerating box/ sleep learner so mom wouldn't have to bother with a baby, it's opened just long enough for toddler Palty to see mom murder the doctor who was trying to send her to her Juraian relatives. The woman is injured by Palty's mom and she goes to Palty to smile at her, blood splattered on her face. Mom shoots her in the back and she coughs blood all over Palty's face, she uses her last breaths to smile at her more and wipe the blood out of  her eyes. She falls and evil smiling mom closes the box and Palty cries until she passes out.

Also  has a bit where Seina tells a stark version of his childhood before meeting Kai etc. Mom was trying occult solutions and crap religion, everyone avoided him and he was hurt and in pain and alone in the hospital so much that he, as a toddler felt dying wouldn't be so bad.

Jay-sus!
I'm thinking he brought back the mud thing in this episode to confirm to readers that she really was over it. But damn, knowing what her "trauma" was- it was a shit thing for Miron to remind her about. I assume she knew- maybe not the details. Palty only tells Shou and Seina knows it from the investigation and the fact that he probably helped her get the psychological scan that retrieved the hidden memory- she got the scan after realizing how bad her reaction was to getting the mud splattered in her face.
They do know who the donor was but don't reveal it, except to say that he is dead.

Also probably why they seem to start the next section with everyone getting naked in a hot springs party.


BTW, are there more images for V.3? The page has a few B&W ones, then "IMAGE" repeated a few times.

Another great episode. The Paradise War cast was fun, and Tennyo showing up at the end made me chuckle.  It's nice that Tenchi's relationships are finally making progress, but it sucks that it is happening in the background. I'm hoping we get to his wedding the season, but I'm not holding my breath.

I hadn't really been paying much attention to the blu ray sales, but I got interested and looked them up. I'm not sure if others have posted them in this thread, if someone has then just ignore this post. These are the first week sales of the first 3 episodes of OVA 5.
Episode 1 - 3,341 copies
Episode 2 - 3,887 copies
Episode 3 - 4,066 copies

And here are OVA 4's blu ray sales for comparison. Again these are only the first week sales.
Episode 1 - 5,113 copies
Episode 2 - 5,866 copies
Episode 3 - 6,288 copies
Episode 4 - 6,409 copies

All four were, I guess the rationale was they wanted to make a distinction between these four cabbits and the known ones... ("no,no, I'm not Seina Yamada, he has a brown cabbit, I have 4 white ones!... and I'm wearing a cap and sunglasses!")
Turns out the four main girls figured out he was Seina pretty quickly but just let him be.


...I was going through another watch with a funny idea... I was watching the backgrounds to see if maybe Karutia (formally introduced in the 3rd volume) was hiding in the bushes.
I really need to read the "2nd Episode" of the 3rd volume though. It could answer some questions. Like..."who are these kids?...where's Karutia, Tomi (yet to be confirmed as Mikami), Mike or Ichiro?

I don't know the official reason. However, it aides the visual changes of Seina being a naive kid to being a mature adult.

Thanks, definitely more than "needs" to be said, but some things... I just had to keep ragging on the two non-friends in that third chapter in v.2. Even in broken gibberish they were such exquisite jack-asses. Traveled all the way to a nigh-impenetrable island just to be jerks to the "friend" they like to treat like crap. they had no other purpose than to be beat on.

I guess I could have summed it up by saying something like...

Third chapter of v. 2:.
Shou gets a visit from his childhood waifu, who grew up to be a spoiled brat, his other friend who got cucked by her [I hate that term-but it fits], and these two assholes who spend their time being shot, scared, dunked, and gassed, because they deserve it. They and a CIA operative try to spy on them and they all get pwned by Seinaminamida and Miki the ruthless cabbit.
Meanwhile, Shou figures out he can win a war if it's based on rock-paper-scissors.


but I read it... I guess I want to actually describe the actions that happened . :)
...so no one else has to.

So, you want to know... how did Shou integrate Janken into the proxy war and win.

He didn't just straight up ask to play Janken instead of fighting? did he?
NO,that's exactly what he did.

But, this being what it is... and as the first chapter was spent depressing all the readers... it was not so simple. Miron changed it slightly... which probably convinced some male factions to accept it.

It wasn't Janken... it was Yakyūken... "Baseball Fist"... strip Janken... with dancing and chants.

For modesty's sake, the final reveal was covered by black bars by a special force field.

All done with the PW summaries. Except for touch-ups.

A little surprised to see that the OVA retcons some stuff- it seems to clearly name Shou as representative, but the OVA wisely switches that to Miron.
I'm a little confused now about the final battle too. I thought the one shown in episode 3 was the end of that- but it's nothing like it. I guess it could be another group they're defeating.

Post by: takahata on December 08, 2020, 10:02:12 PM
I have just watch OVA 5 episode 4 on Crunchyroll. Most of the episode is focus on Kenshi's training.  I am a little puzzle about the events which involve Earth Forces. Some governments will continue to refuse to allow a specific group of people to represent the Earth,  Katsuhito has mention that it will still take time for Earth and its people to evolved. Also, Katsuhito had pointed out that the current status of Earth's government is meant to prevent more meddling in Earth's affairs from outsiders whose interests are not in the best of Earth's.

I do believe that Earth should have an associate membership in the General Assembly.   Earth does have a permanent seat in the Assembly.  Given what is happening, Earth needs some sort of representaion in the Assembly/  Katsuhito had pointed out to the person of the video screen that two people from Earth have been selected as Earth Representatives.

As I expected, episode 4 is more like what I do expect for a Tenchi Muyo episode. There are indeed some antagonists in the series. Not all of the antagonists are fodder for humor. I am still a little confused about how Earth is representive in the Assembly. At least, the Galactic Federation is allowing some people from Earth to represent it in the Assembly.

For the next two epiosde, Tenchi's wedding will dominated one of the epoisodes. I am expecting that some wedding crushers are going to try to interfered with the Wedding. I do want to see the events around  the birth of Tecnhi's first daughter Kiyone.

Miron is Earth's representative in the Federation's assembly, but as the planet cannot fully participate, HER main duty (Not the duty of Earth itself)  is to prevent meddling from the rest of the galaxy and the rest of their new pirate nation.

As I said above, it was Shou who was named to this position in the Paradise War novel and it was changed to Miron in the OVA. As far as I can tell, SHou's main duty (with the help of his harem and unmentioned other guild reps, 20 of them, and islanders) is to command Tabletop/Banjo, whose ship form will largely be in charge of defending Earth.

...or maybe I have it slightly off. Maybe Shou is the representative of the new pirate nation and Miron represents only Earth. I guess there have been mentions that Earth has "two representatives." Now that I've gone through PW, I'm doing summaries for OVA 5 on the wiki. I'll think about that more when I get to doing ep.4

double-posting, different topic.

I've watched the new episodes a couple times each... how do I miss so much?

I kinda know why. what I'm talking about is the "Manzai" routine Jovia does with Miron. I don't quite get Manzai and think it's irritating... and thought the point was simply that it was irritating... but have you paid attention to the content?

Jovia is a "Bench-warmer wife" and a "Plus-one" that came in a "package deal with a great beauty"

Not only confirming she's married to Seina, but that she did so with a second woman. As this was probably Barrium, I'd guess Airen?


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, not writing three in a row,  it's kind of minor...
I found this odd archived 90's Brazilian fan page, it had nice images of all of the Laserdisc art for the first 13 episodes- so I added them to the wiki as cover images (I had done the same for OVA3 and OVA4 too- DVD art, of course).

I'd never looked at them in order like that before. Except for The Night Before the Carnival, all feature motifs that count which episode number it is. OVA1 is easy, just fingers, OVA 2 is number of cabbits, OVA 3 is tricky- it's the number of carrots hidden in the picture, #20 makes that more obvious.
(https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/tenchi/images/f/fa/OVA_3-vol_1_alt.jpg)
OVA4 is back to fingers...

Anyone see something in OVA 5?

from the official website summary of the episode


A few years after the heavens and the earth visited Banjojima, the days of training (tags) for swordsmen and the Emperor Wei around the Saki family were as usual. During that short time, changes were coming around the Saki family, and the Swordsman Seki had grown into a junior high school student. At the foot of the pond of the Saki family, the houses of the Yamada family were built in the southwest, the number of people increased, and the swordsmen enjoyed the lively daily life. While the special training for the swordsman continues, not only the members of the Saki family, but also from the tree thunder, Funao Saki, and various other people are all visiting the earth for "for the cute swordsman". is there.
There was another reason why the group visited the Earth Saki family ..

A lot of this season has revolved around Kenshi yet he hasn't been on a single Blu Ray cover.

Since it looks like we are skipping Tenchi's wedding what will the last episode be about? I assume that it will either end with Kenshi being sent to Geminar, or it could start with Kenshi being sent away and we see everyone watching WoG.

If they hadn't spent two weeks on Banjo Island... and brought those girls to the house so they can stick around, my guess HAD been that the last episode would end with them bringing him BACK.

Now, I think the last two will be a combo of further training (Kazuhito sword-training could be fun- he hasn't even taught Tenchi this secret style) and continuing the other talked about issue of the first two episodes, building and settling Seina's house; the creation of the "Earth Masaki Family."

If it ends with a wedding, it will be a successful one of Seina's,
It could be huge, imagine the guest list. Because of their relationship with Seina, the imperial family can even come without having to acknowledge Yosho's existence.

Because actual logic dictates that we're most likely not getting what we've wanted for a long time. TLDR version: The timeskip passes the part of the timeline when Tenchi's wedding happens.

If you need a further explanation: As Based Fap pointed out, we've got a 7 year timeskip coming. According to the timeline at the Wikia, the events of the previous episode are around 2002 or 2003 in the timeline, Kenshi being sent to Geminar happens around 2010, and Tenchi's wedding happens between 2003 and 2010.

And when you do the math... 2003 + 7 = 2010. Which means we won't be getting Tenchi's wedding unless, for example, the next episode ends with Kenshi being sent off, and then the final episode goes backwards in the timeline to show us Tenchi's wedding. The question is, will they actually go backwards in the timeline for the finale?

Somehow, I doubt it. :(

I've got my personal army of Banzai Bills ready. Just let me know when to send those bad boys out. :emot-smugdog:

Really though... AIC should just let Kajishima helm whatever anime we get next directly. That way, we won't run into this "okay, let's just focus on other plot points and avoid letting the fans see Tenchi's wedding" bologna like we keep getting. And that's what this is at this point... bologna. We had to deal with it in OVA 4, and now it looks like OVA 5 is playing the same card. It's even worse this time because unlike OVA 4, they actually hinted at Tenchi and the girls getting their relationship upgrade here... but it happened off screen. And now we're likely not even gonna get to see the wedding.

...you know what, forget it. I'm sending the Banzai Bills out now. :doom:

It's funny that you think Kajishima isn't the problem here. There is no way in hell that AIC is the one forcing Kajishima to make these 6 episodes about Kenshi's training AND to make 2 of those episodes tie-ins with a novel series they have nothing to do with. AIC has plenty of blame in the current state of the franchise, but Kajishima is solely to blame for the show revolving almost entirely around stuff from his novels.

The timeline is off then because Kenshi is 15 when he is sent to Geminar. He is only 12 in the upcoming episode.
Okay then... let's backtrack. This actually means that we still have a chance of getting Tenchi's wedding, because that would put us in 2007. Which means the timeline isn't necessarily off (We know the wedding is between 2003 and 2010). I didn't see a mention that Kenshi was 12 in the next episode anywhere in this thread until now, though. Remember, missing data leads to all attempts at using logic being defeated, and that's what happened here. Missing data, logic was defeated.

As for my comments about AIC and Kajishima after that, I tend to feel a bit jaded whenever I run into a situation where logic points towards inconsistencies. I work on logic by nature, and I get a bit triggered whenever logic points in a direction that it shouldn't... which usually happens because of missing data. This has actually led to some personal drama for me in the past (Not here, but IRL), hence why I get a bit triggered whenever it happens.

With that in mind, I feel no need to address your response to my comments about AIC and Kajishima in that case, as that was just me feeling, well... jaded. We're good. Thanks for the clarification. :)

Doesn't change the fact that I've still got my Banzai Bills on standby in case we need them, LOL.

A little confession, somehow I missed the posts about the time skip, so I didn't actually put that into consideration. Oops. I was responding to Ryo-Okay as if that hadn't been revealed.

And while I'm proud of my work on the timeline (I'm the one responsible for updating it from the one that may have been 10 years old), All the times after 2000 are bigger guesses than those before. If I were to judge on the timeline of how long I think it should take for Banjo Island to be terraformed, I'd actually guess a couple years later.... but I cut it  back because "Sasami"- if it were 2004-2005, Sasami  would be around 20-21 in the recent episodes... that didn't seem right. She looks like she's like 17... but that would be even earlier.

Hi, yes I was just going to post that link. I did a quick google translate of the auto-generated CC. Kenshi narrates that the episode will focus on the relationship between Tenchi and the girls, and that he is now certain that since going to Banjo Island something is up between them. "今回の見どころはなんといっても天地兄ちゃんや魎呼姉ちゃんたちの関係。" "The highlight this time around is the relationship between Tenchi and Ryoko and the others."

To be fair, in OVA 3 when Nobuyuki referred the girls, he used the exact phraseology as well. Kind of makes sense since Ryoko was the first one there.

At the same time as this is being said, we get what appears to be an extended version of the episode 3 beach scene on Banjo Island. I hope we get that, and I can't wait to see what gets said there.

I want to point out one particular scene (https://youtu.be/PMWGvQ5-jWk?t=6).  At 6 seconds in, notice the background. Is that not the same backdrop from when Nobuyuki and Rea got married? Except Tenchi is wearing a suit and tie. Hmmm......

Also glad to see Misaki is going to get her chance to embarrass train Kenshi a bit. That should be good.

  From the OVA % Episode % trialor. Misaki is teching some Jurai Swordmen tactics to Kenshi.  As a fan, I am expecting a wedding.  It is up to Masaki Kajishima when it comes to the wedding.

When it comes to OVA 5, it is more of a slice of life and harem blended into a single series.  OVA 5 reminds me more of of Aoi Yori Aoshi.  Aoi Yori Yoshi was a Harem series in which  I learn that the first love male MC first love is going to win. Oddly Aoi Yori Yoshi  show had the  trope know as the romanic triangle.  The triangle was not expsosed later in the series.

While Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohli may have not been the first harem series, it was a groundbreaking series which help to create the basic harem series formula. Now, it seems that  I want another spinoff of Tenchi Muyo. While a reboot of Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki can help the metafranchise,  I believe that a sequel and other spinoff can help the metafranchise. For me, I will like the next spinoff to be TENCHI MUYO! THE NEXT GENERATION. TM! TNG can one of the first harem series in which the female protagonist is the MC.  Ironic,  To Love-Ru Darkness may have been the first harem series where the main female protagonist is the MC, too.  It is not easy to figure out how the MC of Darkness was the main female protagonist esp. when the male protagonist had dominated the series.

To be fair, I don't think Tenchi should end up even remotely like Azusa (third wheel to Funaho and Misaki's political maneuverings). He might take a page from Seto's husband, and just let things fall in place while keeping a calm demeanor even when the kids mature and physical or astral framework goes through some stress tests.

From the two scenes, it seems that there is going be a special ceremony in the episode.  At 0:07 in the preview video,  Tenchi is wearing a business suit. Also, Misaki is helping in  Kenshi's training.  Likely the series will catch up to the -IF- douj. series in episode 6.

yeah, I'm betting it's Seina's "official" wedding. Although it seems like the preview would make an even bigger deal of it, the guests kind of point to Seina again. The royalty wouldn't have to tiptoe around something for Seina but they still can't publicly acknowledge Tenchi's family connections.

...although, you know... the last time we saw that same Masaki Crest hanging on the wall, it was a birth announcement.
Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: WaitoKon on February 20, 2021, 03:36:59 PM
I'm certain the new episode settles much of the waiting for wedding rings or such. However, that we've never seen any affection beyond blushing doe-eyed group photo ops in season 5, and the earlier waybackmachine-tier chat that Ayeka and Ryoko had in season 1 episode 5 speaks volumes to the story direction: utter stomach-clenching stagnation.

edit: As an afterthought, it would be interesting to see Seina, already settling - ahem - marriage arrangements, frees him up to be a wingman to his relative Tenchi. The problem is Tenchi being adamant about waiting till the youngest of the girls is old enough, so as not to expose Sasami or Ryo-chan to adult activities in the interim.

No preview for the next episode. If you have links to the old ones, "Subscribe and hit the bell" on Youtube, you'll get the notifications from that youtube channel.As long as you visit YT enough.
Unless you've done that for too many and announcements get flooded. In hat case you'd have to turn of notifications for some channels.

Technically, the episode lays out a couple hurdles that might need to be addressed before an actual wedding... (Yosho/Jurai and Mihoshi and Galaxy politics) but also seems to set up the allowance for everyone to act like they're married in the meantime.
If it's good enough for Grandpa.

I have been a passive fan for most of Tenchi's run (never before monitoring the primary news from Japan) So I wonder about something:
In the case of the "specials," eps. 7 & 20, were they announced/expected at the time of the "final" episode before it?  Well, I don't think The Night Before the Carnival could have been planned or announced before the end of episode 6, but what about Final Confrontations? When was it confirmed that there would a "7th episode of OVA 3"?

I'm just saying, it could be an intentional pattern. Specials released after the odd numbered seasons. I wouldn't be surprised if the marriage/ possible return of Kenshi could be saved for a special... released in about a year- if the time frame of the other two hold..

Key words there. "For almost 30 years." Next year is the 30th anniversary as a reminder to everyone.

And dang, I still remember the 25th anniversary when OVA 4 was going like it was yesterday. Really feels like these last few years have whipped by like nothing... though last year was a serious drag in too many ways to count (But that's going off topic, so I'll stop there). Gonna be watching the episode shortly, on which note.

Also. Given what you guys have said about this episode, logic points that the next episode is definitely going to be the wedding. If it isn't, then yeah... we'd better expect OVA 6 to be a thing.

I'll take that bet!

It's just a neat one-off scene. I consider the anime to be setting a new precedent and not adhering to what has been seen in the speculative stories of the doujinshi.

For instance, they've already blasted way past the hypothetical timeline of Sasami finger-banging to Tenchi and Noike.

Ned has thankfully also done a great job improving the Tenchi Muyo wiki recently, so viewers of the show can get proper explanations about the background characters if necessary.

Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: GP cadet 87 on February 28, 2021, 11:44:11 AM
I think Seina and Tenchi *looking* at the moon, not the moon itself, foreshadows the wedding.

Also, I'm really confused about something. I know Seina didn't get married right away, because the Renza girls interrupted the wedding, and Seina got stranded in the Renza Federation for awhile shortly afterwards.

Kenshi is 10-12 years old in episode 5, but Seina, never mind Tenchi, is JUST GETTING MARRIED?! Can someone explain that?
Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: Nonsuch Ned on February 28, 2021, 06:16:27 PM
Seina apparently goes through a series of marriages in Renza and is already married to Kiriko, Amane, Ryoko B., Neju, and the Renza girls. And apparently also Jovia and probably Airen (an elf princess from the 5th Kingdom in Renza) by the time the all return. All largely political, except for the fact that they all (with the possible exception of Jovia) love him genuinely. But with them being caught in a series of battles and adventures, it's probably safe to say they didn't have any great ceremonies or had any time to ENJOY married life.
The talks about the marriage on Earth were simply about a ceremony for the benefit of people on Earth and Federation guests. I assume that Seina DID have a ceremony or two in the past couple years. But those have not been covered.

I am just saying that I have enjoy watching Episode 5.  There is a couple on Minaho's right. Both do seem to represent the descendants of Katsuhito and his first wife Katsumi .  Airi and Katsuhito are teasing Minaho for not getting married.  She tells likely as a joke that she will not get married until her parents are. Airi and Katcuhito have a common in law marriage. Still Minaho wants her parents o get married in a simple wedding ceremony.

For the next episode, I am suspecting the first chapter of the -if- douj. I want the names of Tenchi's two daughters to be Kiyone  and Achika,  Kiyone is name after her paternal grandmother Kiyone. Achika is as a salute for Achika from Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo.

The franchise can be save by the War On Geminar sequel, TENCHI MUYO: THE NEXT GENERATION, and an other series.  Tenchi Muyo ! Ryo-Ohki is one of the groundbreaking series of anime. It had transform the Exotic Girlfriend genre into the Harem genre.  While T0 Love-Ru may have the first female MC of a harem series,   A sequel where the female protagonist is the MC can give us a female perspective of a harem. TM! TNG is a likely candidate.

New preview is up:
https://youtu.be/LAaztRU11u0 (https://youtu.be/LAaztRU11u0)

A baby is spotted, but Seina is holding him- which doesn't conform with the IF timeline, if that's the only baby around. But again, I think that timeline is being completely retconned. The anime is usually king of continuity, after all. It's possible he's just baby-sitting too. Speaking of which, I know it's a little trivial, but I'd kinda like to see Taro all grown up- maybe being all loving to auntie-Washu or something, or trying to be a sempai to Kenshi, despite the fact that Kenshi could wipe the floor with him, if he wanted to.

The product section mentions the usual limited edition OVA novel being released.

MORE Kenshi training?! Ugh, this a plot thread that I hoped they were finished with. I was feeling very hopeful because a large chunk of ep 5 focused on the main cast.

Well, hopefully what we saw in the PV was in the first half, and the wedding is in the second half.

Anyone else notice the youkai Ryoko summoned to chase Kenshi around? Talk about a call back!

It is nice to see the canon GXP cast so much now. I know they're minor characters, but I wish the show was more about expanding on the GXP story and plotline, or at least have a new spin-off. Or, if we must focus on Kenshi pre-Geminar, at least show more of Keshi's day to day life outside of training. Even though episode 5 was good overall, I still feel Tenchi and the girls have been sidelined in their own show IMO.

Personally, I think that, once everyone is married, "Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki" is done.
I'm thinking that Kenshi returning would be better told as a "Geminar" story and once that's done, a NEW Tenchi Muyo! series should take over. It can be Tenchi Muyo! IF or something that focuses on possible conflict with the higher dimensions or whatever, but lets face it "Ryo-Ohki" is wrapping up. Time for a new starting line

maybe 1/4 new short clips- more Kenshi training, a bit about Tokimi sending him over...

Ugh.. not gonna lie, not liking how the entire trailer focuses on Kenshi's training, again. Jesus, the last two episodes were more than enough to show why Kenshi was so uber-badass on Geminar.

WAR ON GEMINAR CAME OUT TWELVE YEARS AGO, WE DON'T NEED ALL THIS SET UP!

Seriously though, OVAs 4+5 have focused way too much on being prequels, instead of moving Tenchi's story along.

This episode makes the OVA 5 series into a prequel for War on Geminar.  The episode can still end with Tenchi noticing some stork feathers in his dreams. I do want to see a second War on Geminar series. 

As a fan, I will like the second War on Geminar series as well as a sequel to the Ryo-Ohki seires.  I have came call a possible sequel TENCHI MUYO!  THE NEXT GENERATION.  My ideal for TM! TNG focuses on one of Tenchi's sons as the male protagonist while the female protagonist is the main character.  To date, only one harem had the female protagonist as the MC.  That series was TO LOVE RU DARKNESS. Yet the series as the first harem to have a female MC is up to any anime fan.  For a harem series to a have a female MC, it must have a large part of the series from the female MC's point of view.

Odd thing about that though... I'm pretty sure a number of the royal family could kick his ass, particularly Misaki- but maybe Funaho and his own mother and kids too- so while he's obviously a badass in his own right, he may be a downgrade in training.
The same could possibly be said about Tenchi.
Tenchi said it himself (although a few years before)- he doesn't stand a chance against Ayeka and Sasami when sparing on equal footing. Yeah, "He's a god, yada, yada, yada," but that mainly has to do with conscious and unconscious power, immortality, and invulnerability. He can survive unprotected in space- but it was shown pretty quickly that Yosho didn't consider him any sort of sword master (although-  writers other than Kajishima tried to portray that differently).

I'm glad that AIC told us before OAV4 that seasons 4 and 5 would focus on Kenshi. It helped soften the blow. While loving Kenshi and Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari, I am profoundly saddened that Kajishima lost interest in his original cast before seasons 4 and 5 were made. I am very excited that Toei can hopefully infuse some money into this property, and a season 2 of InSM would, potentially, be a cool consolation prize. Although I'm certain it would focus on his newer cast of milfs instead of the established characters. Most of my hype would be for Kenshi vs Dagmyer-as-main-villain and, of course, Kenshi returning home and making his dramatic decision to stay in Geminar. If I got those two things out of it I'd be pretty happy.

Last episode up on Crunchyroll.
:end:

No announcements at the end, no videos on their Youtube page. I don't monitor Twitter, but it seems like they're letting things sit as they are right now.

I'd say the episode was largely "you get what you expected." As I suspected (but worried they might skip), no formal weddings but that doesn't mean they're letting that get in the way of "Business."
So nice to see the first three kids... even if we still don't get names.

Little things to quibble about. Some nice little details.
Rea at the end was a nice touch.
I'm glad they didn't try to replicate the dialogue used at the beginning of Geminar.
Story-wise, I think it's a little weak that the first episode introduced us to Tennyo investigating what Kiyone had found out and never returning to it. I was expecting something.
Title: Re: OVA 5 Info Thread
Post by: GP cadet 87 on May 27, 2021, 10:24:11 PM
Gotta say, I have mixed feelings about this ep.

What hurt this whole OVA season is that Geminar came out over a decade ago. The final scene of the ep loses a lot of its power since we know what happens during Kenshi's adventures in Geminar. Had this come out thirteen years ago, would've been a HUGE cliffhanger to end on.

Lots of nice moments in the ep though that on the whole, made it good. Seeing everyone training Kenshi was a nice touch, since we got to see the ENTIRE cast one last time. That last spar between Kenshi and Tenchi was very nice; we get to see how far both Misaki men have come.

Great to see Tenchi's kids, if briefly. Sucks we didn't see the wedding, but at least the harem route has been officially canonized for the granddaddy of all harem anime, which is a big milestone for us older fans.

Hopefully, two things happen in the near future; GXP gets a reboot. Every time Seina and his wives showed up, it's a reminder that the GXP anime is NOTHING like the OVA/novels, and that's just sad.

Also, of course. we get an OVA 6. where we focus on the Masaki family story, not just waste set up for something that came out over a decade ago.

Great ending episode to the best season since 2 easily, hell I think I liked this one better than 2....Tenchi is a beast and I loved how they saved him as the final boss for Kenshi's training....we also got confirmation that was indeed Tokimi who gave Kenshi the lighthawkwing power up he used against Gaia.

The ending twist is great, we all assumed Kenshi would just live out his life on geminar but knowing he has a legit way back home, we definitely should be getting a War on geminar season 2 cause that evil dude's son was still alive.


The guys have all grown up so much, Tenchi a family man....Seina is a Chad boss and Kenshi doing his thing finally connecting WoG.

Hear me out on this. OVA 6 episode 1 will probably rewind back to Tenchi's wedding and show us what went down there. After all, OVA 5 episode 5 did rewind back to Tenchi's talk with the girls at the end of OVA 5 episode 3 (Which we didn't get to see all of at first; was it episode 3? Someone remind me if I'm wrong here)... so there's nothing stopping them from rewinding to Tenchi's wedding (Which we didn't get to see in OVA 5; we got to see the political talk that allowed the wedding, but that's about it) and kicking OVA 6 off on the right foot.

With Toei now co-owning Tenchi, at least OVA 6 and WoG Season 2 are definitely going to happen. I will be surprised if we get only one of the two or we don't get neither. There are no more financial issues holding things back, so there's no excuse to not do both anymore. LET'S GO- :emot-smugdog:

You mean Fuku?
I'm pretty sure that's Ryo-Ohki. (Fuku has a white ponyail that goes all the way down to her feet). I think the implication between that bath and the later one with Tennyo is just that Kenshi has to be made to clean properly, as he's one of those boys who would rather just stay dirty.

The pregnancy order seems to be following the IF order. Ryoko, Ayeka, Ryo-Ohki... Mihoshi and Noike have kids almost at the same time.... which raises questions.

I don't think there has been an actual wedding. they're letting the blessing work as a de facto acceptence and letting it be known that things are fine "as if" they were fully married, until politics allow formal weddings to occur (Yosho revealing his existence, mainly).

we also got confirmation that was indeed Tokimi who gave Kenshi the lighthawkwing power up he used against Gaia.

The blessing she gave was brought up in the show and was not hinted to be related to Kenshi's power. The main thing it did was allow him to pass through the barrier to retrieve the Tenchi Stone (so in a roundabout way, you're right). Tokimi's blessing is a useful thing to have on Geminar and isn't exclusive to Kenshi. The Holy Land was even shaped to look like Tokimi, although its really abstract. For unspecified reasons, Yukine's mother(Tokimi's last priestess on Geminar) lost favor with Tokimi or something, cuz she wasn't allowed through the barrier anymore and even got a nasty scar trying to force her way back in. Maybe Tokimi was just trying to set things up to make Kenshi look cooler when he waltzed on through? That would be a dumb explanation. I love it.

The Light Hawk Wing was Kenshi's, although it's rules were different than we're used to. It's something I'd love explained in a season 2 of InSM. I used to think it was because Kenshi was the reincarnation of Z, but I think that was either never exactly right or possibly a scrapped idea (Kajishima said in an interview that Z was originally going to be Tenchi's half-brother, make of that what you will). Anyways, I think Kenshi's power is probably just like Z or Tenchi's: his own.

Having said all that, it's still possible your theory is right, I just wouldn't say it's confirmed.

Also, yeah, Rea breaking down. That was rough. Probably the most emotional scene in the season, at least for me. I WISH the engagement was more moving, but it felt like such a side-note when it should have gotten a whole season that I couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Anyone else intrigued by the somewhat notable absence from OVA5? Tsukiko doesn't get so much as a cameo or a mention. I think it's very safe to say she's not on Earth anymore. I'm also wondering if it means she's supposed to have a major role with the GXP story that hasn't been released yet, so they couldn't even HINT what she's doing. And not bothering to spend any time with her Daughter, Son, Quasi-daughter, daughter-in-law, son-in-law/love interest... grandchild and more on the way. Who all conveniently live close by.

Someone who doesn't add much made an update to the Tsunami wiki page that describes details supposedly in OVA5 (a discussion about using the Tsunami ship as a possible training ground) but it's nowhere in the anime.

(other idea- was it maybe a discussion in one of the audio dramas? I remember catching one on YT, it was just a informal chat with Tokimi and others... but I don't remember the details, and can't find them now-- probably takedown victims)

Unfortunately the writer hasn't been any help. I asked where it's mentioned and he just repeats "It's in OVA5." Doesn't say it's from the novel or a CD Drama or anything... but I've gone through the OVA many many times now while writing up articles  and adding pictures and it's certainly not in the anime.

Also discovered that the CD audio dramas might not have been taken down, it's just that the titles are probably in Japanese and my searches aren't finding them because of that. I did find some OVA4 CD stuff but it's such inessential stuff, just reworded sections from the anime.

There is a couple on Minaho's right. Both do seem to represent the descendants of Katsuhito and his first wife Katsumi .
The two people sitting between Minaho and Katsuhito are Yotsuga Kazuki and Amame Kazuki (maiden name Masaki), Azusa's parents.

I enjoyed OAV 5. Looking forward to some more content in the future. Also, Now that I've read a bunch of posts, I just realized how many posters here maintain sites of their own, translationblog has especially been very informational for me (it got me into locating and translating TM written materials), or post in other areas bringing old content back to light. Many thanks for keeping things alive in the west.

I was disappointed not to get official names for Tenchi's first two children. I agree they should be Kiyone and Achika. Achika even works with the naming scheme for the last 3 generations of Masakis. (Amame, Azusa, Aeka). And I legit think Ryoko would name her girl after Tenchi's mother, since she of all of them would know how much Kiyone meant to him.

Afa who will be officially first wife, I would say Noike, because Seto picked her, and officially she is his betrothed. She is also Aeka's aunt, even if she is adopted. So her position in the royal family is fairly high. Really curious to see how Aeka and Ryoko react to that. Also curious to see how Tenchi feels about it, or if he just shrugs and says "I'm not caring about titles. I love them all equally." As much as Ryoko would probably want that position, she's not dumb. She knows her position isn't as strong as the others. But there is precedent (Funaho).

There is so much content that could have been put into the final 2 episodes of OAV 5 that was not included. I mean, we literally just get to see Ryoko pregnant out of the blue, then here's baby! Oh! Here's another one. And another on the way.

We don't get to see anything of how Tenchi decides to go about things with the girls. It would be a crazy about of SoL content. At this time Tenchi is on the high side of twenty, nearing thirty. It's pure speculation. But I wouldn't be terribly surprised if some things were already going on behind the scenes before he asked them. All of that is something that can be addressed. We obviously don't need all the gritty details. I'd love to see more of Ryoko during her pregnancy. A 3-second scene of her or Aeka  swooning is hardly enough. We saw more in the IF doujins.

Additionally, someone on CR commented that we also saw Ryoko using chimimouryou again, which implies that Tenchi gave her back her gems so that she could control them. I think the poster was on to something. There is no way in Hell she would risk them attacking her while she is pregnant with Tenchi's child, let alone Kenshi. This also leads us to what about Funaho-ki? Who or what will be used to maintain the tree, and thus Youshou's life force, especially if he is eventually going back to Jurai? I imagine Ryoko herself could do it. So could Sasami/Tsunami. That's something that will have to be addressed.

Clay is free, which would be an interesting villainous return. But in the novels he seemed uninterested, as someone posted above. Someone would need to pay him heftily to get him involved again. Maybe a fanfic opportunity there...

Not sure how many places it was written or posted over the years that Tenchi was this age or that age. But I was pleased to hear Tenchi flat out tell everyone that he was fifteen when he freed Ryoko. And that episode title yeah boi, you tell 'em! That gave me a laugh. And Minaho's frustration over not being married, I thought for sure she would break down crying.

One last thing: Sasami's booty.... daym! Does anyone think Tenchi will wait until she is twenty? I mean, if Ryo-ohki is any measure of comparison, I think not. But Aeka might have something to sway about it, not to mention Misaki and Azusa.

I expect to see Sasami's child in a future doujin, speaking of which I hope the ones that do come out after covid make up for the ones we were missing  :yoshi:

Imagine Kajishima has just been making the usual doujins this whole time and when comiket finally comes back he just releases a 100-page behemoth.

But I think he did release one through the air comiket thing, but I'm not sure.

Unfortunately the writer hasn't been any help. I asked where it's mentioned and he just repeats "It's in OVA5." Doesn't say it's from the novel or a CD Drama or anything... but I've gone through the OVA many many times now while writing up articles  and adding pictures and it's certainly not in the anime.

Also discovered that the CD audio dramas might not have been taken down, it's just that the titles are probably in Japanese and my searches aren't finding them because of that. I did find some OVA4 CD stuff but it's such inessential stuff, just reworded sections from the anime.
I think that you can just remove the claims from the wiki page.

maybe the last ova of 4. anyways I've been unable to begin work on that novel and probably might not  be able to due to health and life reasons I'm a narcoleptic and its gotten way worse in the last few years and i developed severe back issues i had to undergo physical therapy over from translating all the novels like i did and i dont see much point in going over the entire novel with a fine comb. it would take me a few months even if i rushed and I just don't want to do that the best i can do is text rip it once it's scanned and google translate it and let others pick through it.

This also leads us to what about Funaho-ki?

Has it ever been clearly stated that the tree is rooted in earthian soil and not still in the core unit-put-underground? In case of the former, what is the chance of yosho simply saying tha to get Jurai off his back, so to speak?

Finally watched the final episode tonight and really enjoyed it. I would have liked to have seen a proper wedding for Tenchi and the girls, but this episode was pretty much exactly what I expected it to be.

One thing that I think has been a problem for this show forever now is that it is hard to properly see the passage of time since nobody really ages. None of the adults age since they are pretty much immortal gods, so that's fine. The problem is that the children don't age properly. How much time passed between OVA 1 and OVA 3 and Sasami looked exactly the same? Throughout this OVA Kenshi had 2 builds, 6-years-old and 15-years-old. Episode 6 starts with Kenshi looking like he does in War on Geminar, then there is a time skip of a few years and Kenshi looks exactly the same. Not a huge deal, but it makes it even harder to make sense of when things are supposed to be happening.

Overall though this OVA was really great. Here's hoping there is an OVA 6 on the horizon.

Actually, only about two years between the beginning of OVA 1 (August 1992) and the wedding of Nobuyuki and Rea (September 1994)- so, not SO bad.

But yeah... the last episode went from Ryoko's pregnancy to "Tenko" being a walking toddler.

I blame animation shortcuts. The most obvious reused stuff was between Kenshi's two shown Banjo Island fight courses with the PW girls, but I'm sure they were doing a lot of it elsewhere.

I know this is quite early, but does anyone have any info on anything important added to the OVA5 novel translation included in the vol. 6 special edition?

Someone who doesn't add much made an update to the Tsunami wiki page that describes details supposedly in OVA5 (a discussion about using the Tsunami ship as a possible training ground) but it's nowhere in the anime.

(other idea- was it maybe a discussion in one of the audio dramas? I remember catching one on YT, it was just a informal chat with Tokimi and others... but I don't remember the details, and can't find them now-- probably takedown victims)

12,000 yen:

So the OVAs for Dai-5 Ki have already ended but we're still nowhere near being able to see a glimpse of GXP's last volume. I wonder if it'll ever come out.

Last Volume that was out was volume 17.

I think he paused work on the Novels for OVA 5. I would not be suprised if he goes back to work in 2022.

Repeating the same method Washu showed Ayeka might help, but then to go to the trouble wouldn't Washu go back on her word about building multiple Ryo-Ohkis?

I don't get how GXP could be finalized in a single volume, especially with the the rather tedious pace of novel 17 (getting rich farming magic dirt-pigs, making friends with little kids you'll never see again, visiting the library, slowly learning magic, super sloppy Jovia intro [the fault of the robo-translation]).

So, he'll have to join an adventuring group, master magic, join the army as a scrub, figure out what's up with the new AI girl stuck in his head/skin (never hinted at in the OVA or PW), marry Airen and Jovia, have Kiriko join the adventuring group, finally leave the planet... win a war, marry 8 more girls.

well i dont know if you realise this but volume 15 was rediculously large and long and volume 16 and 17 are actually supposed to be the same book... aso each book is about 2 and a half books long. the next one coming out will likely be huge too. :/ i cant see it ending in one but he was complaining about that... maybe two at best. he really needs around 6 books to do a full 13 episode arc (7 now cause of the incedent with 15 16)

Someone on the wiki posted something interesting.
the following picture in the Kenshi picture gallery with the caption
"OVA "Tenchi Muyo! (Volume 6) of "The King of the Kings" Blu-ray Special Edition"

The first release of all the OVA 5 episodes came with little booklets. I assume that is a page from the episode 6 booklet.

Also, found the kinetics website. Be advised, my chrome browser slows to a crawl fo rsome reason when on their site.

Well, what do you know? They also have Photon, Agga Rueter, OAV4, and Masquerade. Be advised, clicking the links for Agga Rueter or Masquerade WILL take you to a NSFW site.

Well, this is interesting. I was rewatching OAV5 for the idk how many-nth time, and I noticed EXNOAat the very end of the credits.
Tenchi Muyo: Ryo-ohki 5th Series Production Committee:
GK EXNOA
Happinet Phantom Studio Co., Ltd.
Pony Canyon Enterprise Co., Ltd.

AIC was credited for Animation Production, as well as copyright, along with Masaki Kajishima. Figured I'd mention it since the topic of ownership and EXNOA have been coming up a lot lately.

Well, one thing I associate Negishi with is speed, so hopefully it won't take too long to get launched and maybe it could go on a Geminar-level monthly schedule instead of the multi-month schedule of the Ryo-Ohki OVA.

...but if you have a pregnant child... the race is on!
