Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Re: GXP Re-translation Project
Last post by BobSchlotkin - April 04, 2026, 05:48:23 AMSo true!
GXP 7 has been a real bitch to translate. I finally finished the first read through and still have two passages that I've had to ask a Japanese speaker to look at them. They just don't make any sense to me after running them through three different translators.
I actually enjoy working on these. The newer versions of DeepL and Google Translate are a lot better than they used to be. I'm really looking forward to GXP 9 and 10.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Re: Pretty Sammy Novel Transla...
Last post by Eff Efferson - March 24, 2026, 09:51:32 AMPart 2: meanwhile sasami kawai visits the aliens with washu. Misao is transformed into pixie misa who summons a ufo with thecupper torso of "a sexy woman" predivtably her name is alien woman and shes the love love monster of the week not the alien they came to see. Sasami goes to transform but is blocked by ryoohki who suggests she fake jumping off a cliff and dying to pull off the transformation secretly to maintain her identity. Sasami objects since jumping off a cliff would kill her.
Misa uses this to try and spoil that sasami is pretty sammi saying pretty sammi will not come becauae sasami cant find a place to transform and she is really sasami kawai.
Just then sammi moeta and ryoohki 2 comes through the dimentionak rift to save the day and everyone dies a spit take because clark kent and superman are in the same area at once.

Last post by Eff Efferson - March 05, 2026, 11:45:50 AMThe Two novelizations of Naoko's version of OVA 1 and the one right after where sasami gets kidnapped have been translated and edited and are now released and now the kagato's son novel is done as well as the last three novels.

I won't be doing this one in order because of the nature of the series. Next im circling back to the 5th novel and re releasing the first, then the sasamis diary and 10th novel I'll get the rpg game novels last if i ever get em. I am currently busy on slayers special and this is my B project for when I'm bored.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / War on Geminar novelization tr...
Last post by Eff Efferson - March 02, 2026, 01:25:42 PMHey I Finally read through properly retranslated and edited the geminar novel its now a done release in the folder and on archive.
It mostly retreads stuff from episodes 1-4 and features one new clearly sub written by kajishima chapter at the end. I say that because it involves Kenshi giving speach on the astral sea and how ghosts work.
here's some generated summaries of the sections:
Prologue
Three mysterious old men—implied to be influential figures from a previous era—meet in a restricted underground facility in the Holy Land. They observe a 3D projection of Kenshi Masaki, noting his "abnormal" abilities as a Sacred Mech Master and his potential to rewrite the history of the world. They secretly modify the Holy Land's reactor systems to monitor or influence events for their own amusement.
Episode 1: Kenshi has settled into a routine as a laborer and attendant for Princess Lashara Earth XXVIII of the Shurifon Empire at the Holy Land Academy. A flashback reveals Kenshi was summoned to Geminar and manipulated by masked men into attempting to assassinate Lashara. During the attack on her ship, the Swan, Kenshi displayed incredible piloting skill but eventually collapsed from "Ahou sickness" (vibration wave exhaustion). Rather than being executed, he was taken in by Lashara as a laborer.Social Dynamics: Kenshi interacts with Chiaia Flan (Lashara's guard), Wahanly Shume (a technician), and Maria Nanadan (Lashara's rival cousin). He is tasked with attending a student council welcome party, despite his reluctance.
The King Game: At the welcome party, the students play a modified "King Game" (called the Goddess Game), where the "Goddess" gives orders to others. This leads to several embarrassing or fanservice-oriented situations, such as Yukine being ordered to crawl through others' legs and Kenshi being caught in a "Pocky game" with Chiaia.
The Twister Incident: A game of Twister results in Kenshi and Chiaia becoming physically entangled, causing further embarrassment and social tension.
The Underwear Competition: Fueled by her rivalry with Maria, Lashara orders Kenshi to use his sewing and craft skills to create "luxurious" underwear and petticoats for her that surpass Maria's. This leads to a comedic subplot where Kenshi must measure the girls for their new garments.
This is the original stuff. its pretty brief.
The Test of Courage The Event: The Student Council organizes an annual "Test of Courage" in the Academy's historic (and potentially haunted) facilities. The Prank: While Kenshi and Chiaia navigate the underground ruins, they encounter the three old men from the prologue using "Astral synchronization" to create illusions and pull pranks. Kenshi, realizing they are not ghosts, confronts them, and they eventually depart, amused by his reaction.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Tenchi in Tokyo Novel Release
Last post by Eff Efferson - February 24, 2026, 11:09:49 AMhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1JHgL9drJkXT-MqKSD7NK3XC9t66pfuWg/view?usp=drivesdk
I finally fixed this one properly.
TLDR Summary for those who want to know what's in it without reading it:
its 3 stories
Story 1: Sakuya wants to get closer to tenchi by getting something for them to have in
common to talk about. They find Washu selling a genetically altered chipmunk and
buy it. He opens up but then the chipmunk, named Okoyama becomes a miniature
human girl and then a fairy and begins cooking dinner and Sakuya gets jealous and on
a date to a shinto shrine she wishes for Okoyama to disappear. The fairy gets sick
immediately. Sakuya blames herself, but Washu calls to let them know the life span of
her creation is only a month. Okayama dies, Tenchi confesses his feelings about the
whole situation and notices Sakuya was wearing a short skirt to get his attention.
Sakuya quits calling Tenchi by only Tenchi-kun and goes back to calling him the less
informal Masaki-kun. Unhappy End.
Story 2: Sasami contemplates what love is and announces her love for tenchi to the
group, from this she realizes she doesn't really know what love is. Ryo ohki tells her
to call Tenchi and they arrange for her to meet up with Sakuya and him in Tokyo.
Sakuya decides to go to get her hair done at a famous salon and leaves them alone to
catch up but makes "a magic circle" around them and tells them not to leave it. Over
14 different groups of people come and sit on the bench with them all in love of
different styles and sasami learns the vast scope of love and finally an old woman,
grieving her long dead daughter who looked like sasami, comes and teaches her that
love is seeing a future with someone and wanting to work towards it. Sakuya shows
back up 4 hours later after dark, remarking that the hair salon was horrid. Happy End.
Story 3: Ryoko binge drinks to suppress her rage, and eventually the suppression fails
and she goes to Washu to ask her to help her kill a man. Washu asks for clarification as
to who she wants her to kill, it's a cold. Tenchi has a cold and she wants the cold virus
to suffer for hurting her man. She invents a new medicine and they give it to Tenchi.
His soul leaves his body, ryoko goes to shuibuya looking for a convenience store and
gets lost for an hour and finds a street punk tenchi beating up people and swoons.
Then she sees a pickup artist tenchi hitting on girls, then a nerdy pimple-faced
highschooler tenchi beats that tenchi up, a tenchi preaching vaguely every religion at
once comes out and makes noise on the street. She flies back to Tenchi's apartment
to find him there. Washu explains the tenchi's she met were Tenchi's soul manifesting
in ways to explore his latent desires. Washu's cold medicine was an astral projection
medicine that took the sickness with it by having the soul leave the body. Ryokoliterally goes looney tunes from hearing this. Washu concludes that the four tenchi's
must be from the medicine curing Tenchi's back pain, athlete's foot, acne, and weak
bladder.
Washu becomes thrilled at making a miracle drug. Ryoko asks her when Tenchi's souls
will go back. "Never, They won't; he's permanently half dead.".That doesn't work for
Ryoko so washu goes off to research a cure. She makes a machine to put the spirit
parts back into tenchi ryoko goes and finds them around town knocks them out and
puts them back in, the final one she puts in is tenchis violent side who she knocks out
and breaks out of jail, once she gets him in she finds there's still a part missing. The
part that loves her. She finds him in the crack of the floor boards and restores tenchi
back to who he normally is with newfound respect for all the parts of him he
represses. But restoring that part gave Tenchi a cold again so the whole ordeal was for
nothing. Unhappy End.
