Musings on Tenchi's mom from the ova and a few other things. (Spoilers)

[Kira U. Masaki]

I just finished watching the 3rd ova of tenchi muyo, and i still dont get the deal with Tenchi's mom. In the last episode the say that she died of old age at 248 ten years before the series began. But Tenchi's great grandmother, Yosho's mom is still alive, Tenchi's grandmother is also still alive and looking fine, both of the are claimed to be just human in the anime, while Tenchi's mom is atleast part jurain. And Tenchi's mom's older sister is also still alive and doing just fine, she has the same lineage. Not to mention that Tenchi's dad is also around 200 something is still alive. So why is that only Tenchi's mom died of old age at a young age for that series, it doesnt make sense?

How long will Tenchi's sister live, she has even less jurian blood then her mother? I imagine this doesnt apply to Tenchi because he is essentially a god like being, maybe even higher ranked then the Chousin.

One other thing i noted is that Z, one of the "villians" has green hair and golden eyes, just like airi, so i wonder if there is a relation there.

Finally im curious , and this is why i think they need another ova, what happens to Tenchi, will he eventually access that power that was shown in episode six, im assuming that light was a future self of Tenchi.

If anyone has any news on an ova 4 or 5 that would also be appreciated (from what i know the original creator would like to make ova 4 and 5 eventually).

And if your wondering , I think tenchi ends up marrying aeka, ryoko, mihoshi, noike, washu, and sasami.:nod

Kiyone dieing of old age was part of the will's script.

She probably will live a long life, just like Tenchi.

I doubt it.

Who knows when the next continuation will occur. But the OVA's do tie into GXP. Afterall, we did get a hint what Tenchi's future could end up with all the girls like Seina did.

Intergalactic Polygamy. :hehee

If anyone has any news on an ova 4 or 5 that would also be appreciated (from what i know the original creator would like to make ova 4 and 5 eventually).

From what I understand, nothing is in the works. GXP was the lastest part of the continuity. Which was 6 years ago, with the exception of the Magic Girl Sammy Anime.

But never say never in these cases.

And if your wondering , I think tenchi ends up marrying aeka, ryoko, mihoshi, noike, washu, and sasami.:nod

I agree, it will be a Polygamy wedding like Seina had in GXP. But I don't think Washu will be among the herem. :wink

well if you watch, it was part of her will, but they do concede she died of old age, unless theres something i missed

ova 3 chronologically takes places before gxp, but was made after it, i think they tried to much to tie gxp in
