No, that's from Hasegawa's novels, and is therefore non-canon. Kajishima has yet to disclose Kiyone Masaki's exact fate. |

The more I find out about these novels the more I can see why her and Mr. K had a falling out. I believe it was because of the confusion that her early novels, and the ones she wrote that were later used for the TV series, had caused that he wrote his "Shin, or True Tenchi Muyo" novels to clear the air. What I wouldn't give to get his novels translated and published. Come on Viz! Do the right thing! |

Not really, since neither she nor her novels had any substantial contributions to Tenchi Universe or Tenchi Muyo! in Love. If you want to blame anyone, blame this guy. |

BTW as for the reason that Mr. K hasn't revealed why, and how, Tenchi's mum died in the OVA. I will guess he didn't have to as Ms. Hasegawa already did in her first set of novels. You will remember that she was the screen writer for the first OVA series. Therefore she and Mr. Kajishima would have had a very close relationship with the writing of the story, which I'll remind everyone here, didn't have a manga to fall back on as the OVA was THE one and only original and was being written as it was made. Mr. K had to have let her in on a lot of what the background was for her to fill in the blanks and come up with a decent script. It was after the first OVA was completed that she wrote her first set of novels that had an OVA feel to them and that is where the friction and controversy started between her and Mr. K. First for revealing some things he himself wanted to keep secret in order to tell his story, and for establishing names to characters, and indeed creating characters, he never intended. Her novels were a fan fic that went too far. That is what I ascertained from the answers I got from Japanese fans at AIC's Japanese BBS back then. So yes Ms. Hasegawa wrote that story about Kiyone (she called her Achika because Mr. K hadn't revealed her true name until much later) dying because of the affects of her failed bonding with Yousho's Royal Tree earlier, but Mr. K told her that's what happened in trust before hand. She later went on to write yet another set of novels in which Tenchi himself killed his mum by an accident caused by him trying to use his "powers" too early. It is these novels that were the basis for the TV Universe. |

And it's the extrapolation of these "facts" into the English-language Tenchi fandom that leads to the speculative "fan canon" that the remainder of your post contains. |

No, I'm saying you're taking what they said and making things up to fill in the gaps. |

Well, you're certainly giving her more credit than she's due.
Negishi and Tsukimura definitely borrowed the character names from Hasegawa, but they spun their own little tale with different personalities for the characters (Hasegawa's Kiyone in Daughter of Darkness is different from Universe and the Mihoshi Special's whinier version) and different backstories (Achika certainly died for different reasons). |

But it should actually be Nobuyuki. =/ Both Nobuyuke and Noboyuki are wrong. The name is 信幸 / のぶゆき, and there's no other way to write those hiragana than no-bu-yu-ki. |
