Title: Small Detail Appreciation Thread
Post by: Eff Efferson on October 11, 2019, 08:30:27 PM
I'm fixing up gxp 6 and i noticed and commented on a really small continuity detail I noticed... and i wanted to share it for the people who don't read my translations but i also wanted to start a thread for people to post the tiny odd little continuity nods and details they love in the series.


anyways i really love how in the part where Erma takes seina shopping after his first paycheck, Seina buys a tiny little cat bell on a ribbon which he eventually gives to fuku that helps differentiate her from Ryo-ohki. He bought this from washu's stall.
This is obviously the same cat bell ryoko plays with on the roof top in ova 1, it's tenchi's dead chibi-chan's cat bell.

There was that strange caterpillar in Washu's lab that waves at the audience. It even cropped up in Okuda's Tenchi manga.

Nah, he's like Mr. Mind, but not a dick. Helps Washu bounce around ideas.

Didn't Ryoko make Ryo-Ohki's cabbit form, not Washu?

Cabbits are real creatures in the galaxy.  In the episode where Siena meets Lady Seto for the first time, there was a white cabbit in the fields.  Ryoko had known about  cabbits.  So, she may have made Ryo-Ohki's form since the cabbit form was simple.  While cabbits seem to be herbivores, they are likely omnivores.  Their diet is likely compose of insects, fruits, and plants. For Ryo-Ohki, she is an artificial cabbit. Her addition to carrots doesn't make her fat.  Ryo-Ohki, Fuko, and the Fuko clones are capable of shape shifting.

:bravo2: :really:

 :question: I believe Ryo-Ohki is an enhanced Cabbit from a small rodent template, like Seina is an enhanced human, only Washu managed to use some very illicit compounds (considering the Ryo-Ohki "series" can absorb / merge with other life forms, that is beyond nano-tech).

I think "cabbits" being common might be a retcon or a misunderstanding. I remember that Ryo-Ohki was made because Ryoko was sad that Tenchi's cat and rabbit died when he was young.

The only other cabbits in the Ryo-Ohki canon are: clones of Ryo-Ohki, Fuku, Ryo-Ohki and Tenchi's daughters. Other than that, cabbits  were in either non-cannon (Tenchi Universe's Ken-Ohki) or quasi Cannon (some random fucking cabbit looking thing on the Mikagami in GXP's anime)

That was my understanding anways ... thanks for coming to my TED talk

Walks up to the stage to shake Ricin's hand.

Ricin, thank you, great to have your insights at this TED Talk. Some additional questions before we proceed with the next speaker.

1. Did Ryoko (while in ghost mode) make the Cabbit to fuse with her downed battleship and perhaps enact repairs?

2. Does Japan grow enough carrots?

when papacha tries to rewrite the program on the ahou barrier genorator it appears to split the planet in two forms with one dissapearing.
What if this is how the earth came to tenchi's dimention.

at the end the last shot of photon is a shot of the earth /geminar/sandy planet revitalizing and growing green. its clearly the same planet as earth.

He's the true arch-fiend of the series.
