Hmmm... that family tree is very complicated.

I think the Mihoshi Special was included with the Tenchi OVA in the Japanese R2 release, from what I've heard. As far as North American R1 releases go, it got its own release on DVD. Pioneer released Tenchi Muyo! Mihoshi Special and all 3 episodes of Magical Girl Pretty Sammy OVA on the same DVD. Pioneer's packaging (with split coverart and logos), however, makes it clear that they are two separate entities. The only notable correlation between the two is Pretty Sammy's brief appearance (along with talking Ryo-Ohki) in the Mihoshi Special (as well as the ED sequence), which I believe was the first time she appeared in anime. |

Yeah, I thought the lack of GXP was a major oversite. We didn't just meet Airi or Noike. They were in GXP. Noike was only an unexplained cameo (since it takes place chronologicallyafter the first episodes of the OAV), but Airi was a major character! She even explains Tenchi's family tree, visually and orally. |

Sorry, I could have sworn that I read on a reliable Tenchi site that Night Before the Carnival was a special that occured between the two series.
*adds information to my data bank* Ah, thanks for correcting me. I too am a Tenchi otaku and appreciate being I corrected so I can be sure to have accurate information. 
I read somewhere that GXP takes place one year after OAV three, can anyone tell me if this is correct? And if we really want to try to cover all the bases, a slight mention of Dual! Parrallel Trouble Adventure may be good from what I understand. spoiler[From what I understand Mr. Kajishima has said that Dual is related to the Tenchi Universe. We get a bit of an explanation of this in GXP when Seina finds an ancient mecha much like the ones featured in Dual and someone (can't remember exactly who at the moment Tsunami or Seto I believe) mentions that people from another dimension came to Tsunami and she gave them a seed. ]

In the Brief Guide to the Tenchi Universe, Tenchi in Tokyo is said to take place after Tenchi Universe. I thought TiT/Shin Tenchi was completely separate from Tenchi Universe.

It is completely separate. Once it gets to the episode that explains how they met in TiT, it pretty much breaks any possible connection it could have had to Tenchi Universe. |

I believe I've heard that before. GXP does take place sometime after the events of the 3rd OVA at the very least, though. There are certain events that are implied to have already happened in GXP that are depicted in the 3rd OVA series. |

I can see why you might have gotten confused (I'll admit I could have worded things a little better), but it does say in the next line right after the "Tenchi In Tokyo" entry that all three series are "different incarnations." TiT just starts its story a year or two later than the other two series because the characters have been together for a while at the start. |

The very fact that Kiyone Makibi and the Lighthawk Sword (and what is clearly Tenchi's Lighthawk Wing attire) is reason enough to call "Daughter of Darkness" non-canon to the TV series. You can't say that something is canon with glaring non-canon entities in it. It's sort of like a Dragon Ball Z movie, in that, but instead of its glaring plot holes disallowing its continuity in the just the TV series, the presence of Kiyone (who, while existing in the OVA universe, is on Earth inexplicably) means that it's not really canon to the OVA either. The reason why people say it's more related to the OVA is because ultimately it shares more characteristics with it. Just because you, or even the creators say it's canon, the only logical conclusion is that it's either closer related to the OVA, or it's simply outside any of the continuities introduced. As for Tenchi Muyo! GXP and Pretty Sammy being left out of the article, the article seems pretty clearly made to determined to get you primed for the new OVA, and knowing about Seina's adventures and Pretty Sammy are really unnecessary. In fact, one could say that talk of "Tenchi Universe" is excessive. Last edited by penguintruth on Thu Jul 14, 2005 11:38 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Still, Airi is a main character in GXP and that explains her backstory and connection to Yosho and Tenchi's whole family tree there. Most of Seina's adventures are extraneous to the plot, but the OAV leads up to the GXP episode with Noike and the Tenchi gang. I suppose it's okay to put them in the new characters since they weren't in the previous two OAVs ... but they're not new to the OAV universe.

Minami isn't new, either. He appeared in the original OVA series (although very briefly). |

True, as did Tokimi and Z. Seto was also prominently featured in GXP. |

I just want to take this moment to thank Bamboo for asking me to be a part of this synopsis. Lord knows after 330+ (I'm resetting the counter as soon as a 3rd OAV disc is in my hands) viewings of the OAV's I proved qualified.
Anyways, it was a lot of fun to be involved in this project, and I hope that the girls' bios and the "kissing cousins" piece were well enjoyed by the readers. |
