Canon Foreigner: Kiyone Makibi, Nagi, Ken-Ohki, Mitsuki, Mirei, Amarube & Yura, Sagami, the Juraian Outpost Chief, "dark knights" Tessei & Tetta, Achika, Kain, GP Operative A (Sabato), teenage Nobuyuki, Haruna, Itsuki Masaki, and "knights" Azaka & Kamidake.
This recalls Kagato's background as a Mad Scientist in the OVA.
In Episode 23, Katsuhito, in his recollections of Kagato, notes that the latter was skilled in academics.
Several times, Ayeka mentions "700 years" to Ryoko, either remarking on her future prison life or insulting her as being an old mummy an inside joke to the OVA continuity about Ryoko being imprisoned for 700 years, resembling a mummy when Tenchi finds her.
In the OVA, Kagato says the same thing about Mihoshi.
In Episode 10, Nagi comments about how Kiyone's impressive record suddenly takes a downward fall.
This recalls a scene in the OVA continuity (Episode 3), when Sasami asks Ryoko about turning off the rain outside, and Ryoko answers that the Earth doesn't possess that technology.
In Episode 9, Ryoko asks Tenchi to turn off the snow outside, thinking he has the technology to change the weather.
In Episode 4, it's revealed that Washu has been imprisoned for centuries in a Crystal Prison, just like her counterpart in the OVA.
The conclusion to episode 2, "No Need for a Princess!", is a role reversal of what happened at the end of episode 2 of the OVA in the OVA, Ryoko rams Ryo-Ohki (her ship) into Ayeka's Ryu-Oh, with Ryoko laughing maniacally, but in Universe, the roles were reversed.
This is similar to Episode 1 of the OVA, where Tenchi grabs a piece of reinforced concrete in order to defend himself in his battle with Ryoko.
In Episode 1, when Ryoko is chasing down Tenchi and Mihoshi, Tenchi grabs a garden hoe in order to defend himself.
Ryoko comments that the "real" Ryoko doesn't sound that bad, and that she was probably roped into conspiring with Ayeka.
But He Sounds Handsome: Ryoko and Ayeka enter the swimsuit competition described above pretending to be lookalikes of themselves (since they're now notorious fugitives known by the public).
Broke Episode: Episode 16, "No Need for Hiding!".
Bound and Gagged: Tenchi in Episode 10, "No Need for an Arch Rival!".
Bookends: The season begins and ends with Tenchi walking down the path leading to the Masaki Shrine.
Kiyone: ( smacks her) Hey, goofball, shut up already! Mihoshi: Yeah, it sounds like the name of a goofy comedy team or something like that. Kiyone: Well I don't like the sound of it. Ryoko: That's short for "Mihoshi and Kiyone." Washu: So, this is MihoKiyo's place, is it? Episode 6, "No Need for Resident Officers!", outright lampshades it.
Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: The dynamic between Mihoshi and Kiyone plays out like this, with the former as the airheaded Boke and the latter as the exasperated Tsukkomi.
Of all the Galaxy Police officers to partner up with, she winds up with The Millstone.
Blessed with Suck: Kiyone considers her being partnered with Mihoshi as this.
Ryoko said that Ryo-Ohki will be angry at her for a couple days.
Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce: In Episode 19, "No Need for Runaways!", Ryoko starts "Operation: Speed Up Ryo-Ohki", which involves feeding Ryo-Ohki (in her ship form) some hot peppers she got from the diner in order to catch up with the Yagami, which was hijacked by two runaways.
Bland-Name Product: The girls are watching a Samy-branded TV, a reference to Sony, as well as to Pretty Sammy (which is called "Pretty Samy" in Japan).
Bindle Stick: "Demon" Ryoko carries one when she shows up to run away with "Lord" Tenchi in the Feudal Japan alternate reality featured in the "Time and Space Adventures" three-parter.
Nagi, who's finally caught up with Ryoko, enters to compete with her and wins, but Ryoko steals the prize money anyway and flies off with the others.
Beauty Contest: All the girls except Sasami and Washu enter one in Episode 20 for the chance to win some much-needed cash.
Beach Episode: Episode 20, "No Need for Swimsuits!", where the girls enter a swimsuit competition so they can win money needed to repair their ship.
Adaptation Expansion: The three-part "Time and Space Adventures" arc, which was based on the drama CD, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki Special: Creation of the Universe Journey across Space-Time, added two new chapters for Ayeka and Kiyone.
While this does remove some of the Worldbuilding of the original, it gives the plot more focus, at least past the halfway point.
#Mihoshi tenchi muyo series#
Adaptation Distillation: This series features a very similar setting to the original OVA, but a lot of the more confusing and complicated parts are altered or outright removed.
