Reply To: How many universes are there in the Tenchi Muyo verse?

Please don’t cite Wiki’s, it makes Dee cry.

The second universe as listed in the quote, is kinda sorta right in a broad sense but we have no information to

suggest it was the plate found at the construction site that was studied, ever. Ken Sanada slipped into the saucer and copied data that led him to be able to create incomplete copies of the “Original” which eventually became the core robots and core unit. Rara slipped in and had a chance to study it longer, and got the coordinates for the battleship, and had a treasure trove of artifacts at his disposal.

The 4th universe as listed, while for the sake of narrative you could say they were merged, but what we’ve questioned for years is if that’s even possible. Zinv himself doesn’t demonstrate, nor by the values of what we know of light hawk wings, a power capable of merging two distinct entire universes together. That’s a kami/chousin level ability.

Thus, unless by way of Zinv Tsunami decided to interfere, and isn’t mentioned – it makes more sense to say we merely are seeing yet another of the many parallel universes in the “cake” as I described above, where everyone did survive, and has similar memories.

Alternatively, if it was only planet earth that was affected by the convergence, then it would be possible for Zinv to theoretically have the power to merge them. After all various levels of trees have the capability to create a environment inside the core unit, as well as destroy a planet. So that remains plausible, just not an entire universe.

The fourth Dual universe as well, shows hardly any ties with the OVA universe on it’s own. It shows ties with Pretty Sammy both in the special OAV ep, and in the DVD and LD book crossovers. The ties it does have, are counterparts of their OVA universe dopplegagers. ie Kazuki Yotsuga of the GXP. Mitsuki Ranada and Ken of the GXP mainframe.

Now connect the dots. GXP’s Idol is not the same as Zinv, there’s several body differences. On inspection during the meeting with the royals, it was said Funaho inquired of Tsunami and she had given “two” seeds to a interstellar traveler

many years ago. The Idol is one such seed, the other seed no one knew where it went.

Pretty obvious that the other seed is Zinv, it got “lost” because it ended up in a parallel universe.
