In the TM OVA Series, there is a VERY skewed male-to-female gender ratio among the Juraians in favor of the female side, thus why polygynous marriages are the norm for them.

Here's proof.

The Masaki Family Women's Council. Comprised only of Masaki women who were born on earth. Currently at 24 Members as of the events in OVA 4. Rea, here, is an exception because she knows the family's true origins and is about to marry Noboyuki Masaki. Ayeka, Sasami, and Minaho are there as honored guests.

The Male side of the same council. A mere seven members, including Tenchi.

You cannot have a disparity that big without genetics playing a major role.

There actually is a way for this to happen. The Y-chromosome of a male's DNA carries the gene that determines the gender of a child. Women carry this gene as well, but they're only carriers.

These gene comes in three alleles:

ff - More children will be female than male - typically in a ratio of 1:3 to 1:6.

mf - An equal number of male and female children will be born.

mm - More children will be male than female - typically in a ratio of 1:3 to 1:6.

My current head-cannon is that this gene is carefully managed in order to maintain population control among a people who live incredibly long lives.

By limiting the number of fertile males available, it is possible to do so without imposing any particular restrictions on anyone. After all, not everyone winds up with as many wives as Tenchi or Seina. Typically, we see family's more like Emperor Azusa's, who is married only to Misaki and Funaho. (Although it's possible that there could have been a third, but she tragically died, and her body is entombed within Azusa's Tree.) And Seto's husband, Utsutsume, is married to her and her alone!

Although, there is the possibility that the women of Jyurai have an active conspiracy going on to maintain something that looks like a patriarchy on the surface, but the women are the true holders of power.

This has been alluded to multiple times in the OVAs where it's implied that the women have a strong tendency to run roughshod over their men. And since in the traditional model of patriarchy, the man must take full responsibility for the actions of his wife.... Yyyyyyep. While the head may make the decisions, it's the neck that points the head!

Not that I'm offended by the idea, mind... but it's fucking hilarious when you really think about it.

Why does Azusa Jurai get treated poorly in fanfics

I have noticed Azusa masaki jurai emperor get treated either as villain or push over . I get that he was introduce in somewhat hostile manner but serious many different fanfic portray him as evil which pretty harsh.

Question from a random reddit user : are those female ancient Saiyans ?

Hi, I am a random guest here, I am not a Tenchi Muyo fan, however I am a Dragonball fan and I randomly noticed something : I think Ryoko and Washu are female ancient Saiyans.

I mean, I found out Washu is 20,000 and her daughter Ryoko is 5,000, while Saiyans are meant to only live up to 90 or 100 years old even though they do not age until 80, however Washu may originally have been an ancient Saiyan from 20,000 years ago who was artificially altered by an even older and more powerful entity, or maybe she permanently ascended to SSJG (has red hair), gained a position in the hierarchy of the gods and stopped to age as a result, but never turned SSJB.

Then Ryoko would likely have been created by Washu by artificial means since she likely did not meet a male Saiyan, however she would still have used her own genes to make her a Saiyan too, and made her also very long lived. Then Ryoko never even turned SSJ 1, even though, at 5,000 years old and still having a young body, if she always trained she could have mastered Complete Ultra Instinct and could have been stronger than Beerus in Base form very easily. Being a Saiyan, she still became a space pirate though.

Is it so ? Are those ancient Saiyan women who could train, get new forms and, having no age limit, eventually even surpass all divine beings, or are they aliens from a random race who casually look and partly behave like Saiyans, and are also powerful, but could never grow without limits the way Saiyans can do ?

Between GXP and GXP Paradise Starting?

Im having a hard time piecing it all together, but after watching GXP and then trying to follow the canonical story lots of references to things that seem to happen after the final episode of GXP, things like an adventures guild, magic organ, additional wives, some of whom can turn into cabbits (the cute little rabbit thing fuku is i guess), and i get the feeling im missing something, either a manga or another show. if anyone know the names of said manga/show please let me know, i relly dont like skipping ahead in things.

I made a widescreen AMV set to the Tenchi Universe theme song (because it is a banger) about Ryoko (with Ryo-Ohki on backup vocals). Let me know what you think!

I saw Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki and really enjoyed it.

I was told that this is the only adaptation I had to watch but do I have to watch any of the other adaptations?

Confusing ending

I watched this show on the scifi channel and toonanime. After many years they came out with movies that I guess wrapped it up. I wS way confused. Maybe I misunderstood. Does he really sex all of them up. And the space police, the cat/rabbit and Tsunami were actual love intrests? And Washu. Was there a lead up to that? I thought it was down to the Pirate and space princess, with family members to throw us off? Anyone can break this down.

I hope I am wrong... did the write just forget what his story was and did a "he gets with everyone?"

OVA Blue Ray

I am looking for the original OVA on Blue Ray, which, if I understand right, is the first 13 episodes, what options are there? I have not found any online, except for Region B versions which won’t work as I am in the US. Does anyone know of any out there floating around?

Can anyone explain Tenchi Muyo to me?

I used to watch this series a long time ago- but all I remembered from it was the brown cabbit and Washu's Lullaby, and the fact that people turned into tree spaceships. Can anyone explain the general plot of the anime, please?
