With the this weekend, I will not be watchingJoint MeetingsDualagain quite yet. Until then, I would like to relate some information on the keys I scrounged up while working on the .Powers ThreadTenchismile UniverseThe only real stated explanation given is by Katsuhito after his defeat in episode 23, and the opening of episode 24. He states that the sword changes Jurai’s power into a blade.

Universeact much the same way. Interestingly, Kagato mentions that Ayeka “finally evoked Jurai’s power” in episode 25 when she stopped him from killing Tenchi. http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p661/evilpii/Forum/kagato3_zpscff4d2df.png " /> Notice that in that scene where she attacks him, her tiara is brilliantly shining.

However, she is undeniably channelling Jurai’s might with purpose, likely using her tiara in doing so.

Tenchismile Ai TenchiSince Ai Tenchi is now concluded, we can inventory what has been shown, particularly in the last week of episodes. Tenchi gets to wield his sword rather masterfully against Goriki-kun in episode 13, demonstrating he has certainly matured since becoming aware of his abilities.
Tenchi also started to teach Momo how to use her key as well, leading her in a ceremony from episode 55. Presumably, since they are over Toshika’s resting place, they were trying to contact the tree.
Lastly, he tried valiantly to stay with Momo as he was blipping through Momo’s timeline in episodes 56-59.
On the other hand, as mentioned before, Momo used her key primarily to command Toshika. Child Momo seemed to have some knowledge of the key, as illustrated in episode 33 when she was planning to send a distress signal.
However, after being disseminated through time and space, she did not seem to have knowledge of her origin, let alone the key or the tree. Hence, Tenchi had to show teach her and guide her. Nevertheless, after Washu hacked the d.o. bullet and Beni activated Toshika, Momo was able to use the key to control her blipping through her timeline to meet with Tenchi in episode 59.
