Universecontext, is Yosho full-blooded Jurain and from Jurai (meaning neither he nor any of his ancestors were from Earth, as opposed to OVA) or was he somehow familiar with Earth before, say, he and Haruna left (or fled?) Jurai? Yosho’s lineage is first mentioned by Ayeka and the Juraian agent in
Universeepisode 15 while the household is on the run. He is stated to be the legitimate successor to the throne by both. http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p661/evilpii/Forum/agent_zps9253b042.png " /> http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p661/evilpii/Forum/throneroom_zpsbb0e374c.png " /> http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p661/evilpii/Forum/statue_zps1256ed2a.png " /> This is corroborated with the opening of episode 16, where Ayeka narrates that Yosho was an imperial son.

If there was question of Yosho’s lineage, it would have interfered with Kagato’s rise to power. However, Katsuhito never says that his
entirelineage is Juraian, so the possibility of a non-Juraian ancestor is not ruled-out by dialogue. wwwwhhhhoooo wrote:My reasons for asking are that I had never given much thought to
UniverseYosho’s motivations for leaving Jurai or staying on Earth; I think I inferred the reasoning would be similar to OVA Yosho. While I very much wish to ponder this further, whether Yosho was familiar with Earth beforehand, or only after discovering it with Haruna, From the dialogue, I think Haruna might have heard about Earth before arrival, but not actually seen or visited it (see post about Haruna above). Now, the English dialogue, not the subtitles, has Haruna state that Yosho “chose” this world for them to live on. This would imply that Yosho knew of the world before them arriving there. How much he knew or if he had visited, I do not know.

stayingon Earth, at any rate, could be chalked up to what OVA Yosho expressed to Ayeka and company after his skirmish with Kagato: “This is my home, and this is where I wish to be buried.” In short, he had a wanderlust, and after searching aimlessly as a youth, he ended up feeling more at home on Earth than he ever had on Jurai–he fell in love with it. That seems to be exactly what Katsuhito states when he discusses it in
Universecontinuity. In episode 22, he states he decided that Earth’s beauty and people made a welcome place for him to live out his days. http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p661/evilpii/Forum/yosho2_zps5c5f2f7a.png " /> http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p661/evilpii/Forum/priests_zpscf2e6a8e.png " /> However,
TMiL2adds Haruna’s tree, which burst back to life after being planted in the Terran soil. Afterward, he met Itsuki, his wife and mother of Achika. http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p661/evilpii/Forum/washu1_zpsfc6c26e0.png " /> http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p661/evilpii/Forum/washu2_zps241a72ce.png " />
