    Episode 52:

    So, Ukan’s got herself armed and ready for battle. I’ll uh, I’ll just be over here doing some calibrations…

    Washu’s finally shown her face (I guess she saw my post from yesterday – can you make Kiyone appear next Washu-san? ) and is taunting the GP with their foolish attempt to use her own tools against her. Tenchi’s escaped with the science club and student council, I wonder if they’re going to make a B-line back towards the dig site to try and beat out the GP now?

    Some fun with today’s episode title. The first two characters represent a heavenly demon, most often used to refer to the “Demon King of the Sky/Sixth Heaven”, a temptation spirit (Hello, Ryoko) who tried to trick those passing through into doing wrong. Oda Nobunaga, a samurai warlord from feudal times, used the name to refer to himself on the battlefield. Perhaps referring to Ukan and her prideful take of herself, now on a battlefield of her own. And/or even our GP leader above, raining down fire and brimstone from orbit. And to throw more fun into the mix, the phrasing is “Tenma”, which was the name of a Japanese satellite that was decommissioned in 1989. An obvious wink and nod to the Government’s MIB-style coverup for the dimension-oscillating bullet.
