Q: Even though Minaho and Kiyone are sisters, I think there's a
age difference of several hundreds of years. In practice, how much are
they separated?
A hundred and dozens of years after Yosho arrived on Earth, he had
his first conversation with Airi, and I want to believe that soon after
that, Airi flew to Earth and they fell in love, however, it wasn't long
after he parted with Kasumi on a near to 100 years long relationship. So
it must have been awkward to fall in love that quickly, even for Airi.
Besides, he had 3 children with Kasumi.
A: There's a considerable difference.
Kasumi and the children were not the only reasons for that. They
couldn't meet in person frequently because both were busy with their
positions on Earth and in the Academy. Moreover the proposition to fall
in love again with Airi and the wish to enjoy the newly-wed feeling
after the second marriage, were the motives. Incidentally, the
intrusions of the spoiled Minaho and Seto, and so on, were also the
cause of not being able to have children.
Q: In GXP's 17th episode, Kiriko said that Funaho was in good
health. Could this mean that the Royal Tree Funaho, that once had taken
roots on earth, returned to be a ship again? During the episode, we see
the Tree itself on the lake, as usual, and it seemed to be able to have
a conversation with Seina. Does that mean that it's possible for the
Tree to use its powers in that state?
A: Since it's being "energy-charged" by Ryoko's gems, it hasn't lost its
powers.
Q: In respect of the fact that during the battle against Kagato,
Ayeka was using Ryu-Oh's backup. Ryu-Oh was destroyed by Souja in the
5th episode, and was restored in the 7th episode. However, in the
6th episode, why Ayeka, in that occasion, was able to use Ryu-Oh's
backup?
A: She was using an emergencial energy stocking spiritual[*-1] body
backup (something like a battery).
Q: How is Seina's salary converted into Earth's assets?
A: It's lodged as precious metal Ingot, which exists also on Earth, and
jewels. On that side, Kiriko is excellent at intelligence gathering, so
they're able to make deals with the most effective goods and at the best
timing. So they've got amazing results.
Q: Kamidake[*-2] was named after Kamidake[*-3]?
A: It was not. It means the monster that protects knowledge, but it also
has another meaning.
Q: Although Kiriko is part of Tenchi's collateral family, why does
she know about Tenchi's abilities? Could it be that Tenchi is the one
that doesn't know about it?
A: Kiriko is a member of Seto's secret intelligence. That's why she
knows about it.
Q: Being said that Jurai is a pirate nation, we're led to believe
that each one in the Royal family has, naturally, a high combat
knowledge. So what kind of people guard and escort the royalty members?
A: If the imperial family were to be attacked, the possibility of this
situation being an official matter is high, so in that case, generally
there are many common people around. For that reason, instead of
thinking about guarding the Royal family, it's more natural to think
that the guardians duties would be to protect and prevent the common
people from being involved in this situation.
Q: This is a personal opinion, but Gosenzo (Masquerade) had a story that didn't
have a clear heroine (this fact actually pleases me) ... Why didn't
Beatrice become the main character?
A: ... Sakurako.
(Editor's Note: From here on out, it is new
material added on 08 June 2007.)
Q: It's intelligible that the Jurai's king is the head of state in
the Jurai's political system. However, concretely, in what form the
government is managed?
A: It varies depending on the situation, but basically we could say it's
a ministry system? There is another political power organization in
Jurai which is the Royal Trees, so the matters are more complicated.
However, in a emergency case, it all concentrates on the Jurai's king.
Q: How many members of the Royal Family possess a Royal Tree?
A: Those who bear the name of the four Royal Families and reach
adulthood get a Tree with no exception. It's usually a 3rd generation
Tree.
Q: Regarding Komachi's hair style, does she have that hair style
because of her own taste? Or does everyone in her tribe have that hair
style?
A: It's a custom from her pirate genealogy origins. Among Komachi's
subordinates, there are those who imitate her hairstyle, although they
have different origins.
Q: Is the character at the market, in the 11th episode of GXP,
that we believe to be Washu, real? Is it a joke from the staff?
A: Real. All the things featured in GXP like the black telephone,
Earth's antiques, they were propagated by Washu.
Q: In "Here comes Jurai", we find out that Yosho is disguised as
Katsuhito, but is that a kind of disguise that you borrow someone else's
image just like Elma did with Amane's, or is that a simulation of his
future appearance.
A: It's a simulation of his figure in the future.
Q: Regarding the fact that Jurai is a planet with a dense growth of
trees, what's the proportion of land and sea? What about the climate?
And what's the aspect of the cities?
A: The ratio is sea 9 : land 1.
Since the trees also grow over the sea, it appears that there's more
land. Basically it's a warm planet with many tropic regions, however the
inhabitants reside in a quite high region, and therefore cold. The
cities are mostly located on the top of the trees, and the building
material consists of specially processed wood.
Q: We'd like to know about the exterior, the dimensions, the aspect
of life of those who live inside Tenju.
A: The height is approximately 10 kilometers. A diversity of big trees
with foundation's outer circumference measuring 150 kilometers long live
in symbiosis. Tenju's environment is regulated by a diversity of trees
living in symbiosis.
Q: When Airi Masaki was giving the permit to Seina Yamada to join the
GP, she said "The Galactic Academy as well as the GP Academy". Regarding
that statement, please explain what's the relation between these two,
and what's Airi Masaki social position.
A: Think that the Galaxy Academy is the school's name and the GP Academy
is the department in the school.
Q: Seina belongs to the decoy division of GP delivery department, but
by "division", does it mean that besides Seina's team, there are other
ships and staff? Does that mean that there are other people like Seina
and Mihoshi?
A: The decoy division is a farly big division, so there is a
considerable number of people forming teams. Naturally, as an
organization, they don't do such things as relying only on unique
talented individuals like Seina and Mihoshi who have indefinite incident
rates. They have a group of professionals who possess clearer and more
definite skills. Therefore, basically, Seina is transferred to the decoy
division under Airi's direct supervision as an independent experiment
unit.
Q: There's a scene in GXP, when Seina takes bath with Amane and the
others, but while bathing, Seina's supposed to have taken off the
limiter suit. So how did he control his strength? And in the day he was
in bath with Amane and Elma without losing the balance...
A: When bathing or having a massage, a medicine that removes the muscle
fatigue is taken. This medicine contains an ingredient that works as a
muscle relaxing agent, restraining the strength and relieving the
muscle's tension.
Q: Is that violet orb in Mikagami's exterior a sap solidification?
A: It's a crystalized substance with properties close to the sap that
has the solidified Royal Tree's sap as the kernel.
Q: Is there a direct relation between Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA and
sensei Hitoshi Okuda's comics edition Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki?
A: No particular editorship was made regarding the story.
Q: What's the cause of Kiyone's death?
A: It will be clarified in the third OVA.
Q: What on earh is that "Chobimaru" that appeared in GXP? That golf
ball-looking thing with a scribble that says "Ayeka~". Besides, Seto's
the owner but who controls the ship is Mashisu-sama from Seniwa. It's
been quite a while after the televising finished but I'm stuck with this
issue.
A: It'll be clear in third OVA.
Q: Frankly, when will the 3rd OVA be released?
A: It's scheduled for ... summer.
Q: When the Royal Trees take roots on earth, they aren't capable of
extend their roots to different dimensions and therefore lose their
energy provision. Does the Royal Trees mantain this advanced purpose
even when they take roots on earth?
A: That's right. But, in fact, they bear fruits but become unable to
mature the seeds.
Q: Does the Trees become stronger as they age?
A: They do. However, their basis' ability is unnecessarily high, so
there's no much meaning to power-up according to their growth. We can
say that regarding the accumulation of experience, they become stronger.
Q: What's the material that composes Tenchi's ring in OVA 7th
episode? It looks like it's made from a Tree, but is it made from
Funaho's Tree? Or perhaps it is made from Tsunami's Tree?
A: It's made from Tsunami's Tree.
Q: When Tenchi tried to remove the ring he transformed into his
combat uniform figure. Does that ring has other functions, besides
transformation?
A: That's a kind of guardian system. Regarding its functionality, it has
various functions depending on the Royal ships' backup circumstances,
but the ring that Tenchi holds is made from Tsunami's Tree so it's
possible to undertake backup from all the Trees below the first
generation level.
Q: Seina rides on the god statue to search for Fuku. Why he was able
to hear Fuku's voice? Ryo-Ohki possessed an astral link but Fuku didn't
have this kind of power. Even if she had one, it wasn't supposed to be
linked. Could this mean that inside the god statue's Tree there was
something that connected Seina and Fuku?
A: The Royal Trees and Ryoko's gems possess the same nature of energy.
Therefore, Fuku, being a warship of same type as Ryo-Ohki, was able to
link easily with the god statue which is a Royal Tree.
Q: According to writings [*-4], GP is something like Earth's
Interpol, composed by the most talented people chosen from police
organizations of each planet. However, in GXP, in order to join the GP
there's a process to pass the GP Academy. Does this mean that there was
a modification in the establishment?
A: The GP formation, at first, was comprised of a selection of
members from police organizations and army of each nation, so to
guarantee a ready-fighting-power personnel. Along with the expansion of
the organization's structure and the increase of duty posts like the the
delivery department business affairs, the training of the GP members
started to take place directly in the GP academy. However, in GP's duty
posts like the police department and army, there's a large number of
members who are transferred from police and army organizations of each
nation, just as usual. In the present time, the boundary between the GP
and local police organizations is becoming unclear, except in large
nations like Jurai and Seniwa.
Q: Is there a reason why Sasami made "osenbei" [*-5] for "bento"
[*-5] in OVA 10th episode? Sasami's lazyness? (laughs)
A: It was not a "bento", but a snack. Well, being said that, I guess it
can be said that it was lazyness.
Q: Generally, to what extent Jurai's Royal Family reaches? Is it just
the four great Royal Families, as I thought? Or perhaps, it also
comprises of relatives of the four families? If the relatives aren't
part of the Royal Family, then how are they called to differentiate them
from the Royal Family? Royal Family and royalty? Or, just "relatives"?
A: The real meaning for Royal Family is "the ones who were given the
Royal Tree". It's just that from an exterior point of view, the ones
bearing the name Masaki, Kamiki, Tatsuki and Amaki are considered the
Royal Family. The relatives are called "clan". They are those who bear
equal names to the Royal Families' name Masaki, Kamiki, Tatsuki, and
Amaki. [*-6]
Q: In GXP 17th episode, Tenchi's physical abilities improved
exceptionally if compared to the OVA 2 period. Did he go through body
enhancement?
A: He didn't. The answer is in OVA 3.
Q: Each person in the Royal Family is given a Tree, but Tenchi didn't
get one, right? Does this mean that, he wasn't recognized as part of the
Royal Family? Or does it means that since Tenchi can create the
light-hawk wings, it's considered that he has assimilated with a Tree
and therefore an agreement is already made?
A: It's acknowledged inside the Supreme Council but officially, Yosho's
whereabouts is still unknown, so Tenchi's existence is also unknown.
Airi showed Seina the family tree, but that was a private conversation
between them. Anyway, the reigning Jurai's king Azusa is still young, so
for the present, it's a secret.
Q: Officially, Yosho's whereabouts is unknown. But if that's so,
what's the pretext used so Airi and Minaho to bear the name Masaki?
What's their relationship with the Masaki Family, officially?
A: Minaho is known to be Yosho's daughter due to an investigation
made by Jurai, and so she is acknowledged to be part of the Royal
Family. For that reason, Minaho's privilege is protected, also meaning
she's protected by Airai [*-7], and so her mother Airi is also given the
name Masaki.
Q: Although Tenchi's existence is currently a top secret, why the 2nd
class detective Amane brought a parcel to Tenchi? To add up, why does
she know Ayeka and various secrets from the Masaki Family? And she's
just 2nd class...
A: The Kaunaq family is a prominent distinguished family in the galaxy,
being previously the maker of the guardian system, having a connection
with the top of the Academy and having deep relations with GP's upper
classes. For this, Kaunaq's intelligence has a fairly high level. And
yet, she's friends with Mihoshi.
Q: The first and second in the Jurai's imperial succession are Yosho
and Sasami?
A: It's Yosho and Tenchi. Sasami is excessively special and she's being
considered apart, but after she reaches adulthood, if she feels inclined
to, she can be the first in the line of succession. However, that
possibility really doesn't exist.
Q: Is it ok to think that Tsunami left Tenju in the figure of Sasami?
In this case, will a new Royal Tree be born in Tsunami's empty Tenju's
"Royal Tree's Space" (I read somewhere that it's something like
Tsunami's womb)? In case it won't be born, will the Royal Tree in the
"Royal Tree's Space" eventually cease to exist?
A: That is Tsunami's circumstances but I guess it might happen in the
long term period. Considering a extremely distant future, it might
perhaps be the case that due to science's development, the Royal Trees
are not that much of a distinguished existence.
