Juraian and those with Royal Trees, powers.

Arguably, either she or Tenchi created this barrier in episode 34.

Momo also knocked Beni back in episode 54 when the pink-haired one started to vanish.

In the recent Tenchi Muyo Ai, Momo possibly used her powers in ep 34 without key or Royal Tree to back her up.

To your question, one does wonder if this ability was intrinsic to her or a product of either Toshika or her sword. I would argue that it would not be her sword as episode 54 shows her create the barrier before Tenchi returns her key. Since Toshika was under the ground the entire time, it is a bit harder to rule the tree out completely.

An honorable mention goes to Ayeka, who also demonstrated a new ability to use her mini-guardians as turrets in episode 41. fyeah1

Moreover, she later explains that they expelled all their energy in the resurrection of the two knights, meaning that whatever power system they have, it is finite and can be completely emptied.

This is emphasized when Ayeka mourns their passing. Considering their presence in her childhood flashbacks, they were likely in her life for a substantial amount of time and meant a great deal to her. Thankfully, they were resuscitated in episode 26 by Washu, Kiyone, and Mihoshi. Hence, their power system can also be refilled and reactivated without lasting damage.

However, what Washu did to achieve this is not detailed in the series epilogue.

In Tokyo there were some Guardians, underground in Yugi’s prison still active and independent of any Juraian or Tree on earth.

The old guardians from Tokyo episode 9 are an interesting note unto themselves. They rested underground for 3500 years before Amagasaki woke them up, still viable after all that time. They also show that not only do other guardians exist other than Azaka and Kamidake, but that their designs have changed over time. Notably, Ayeka recognizes that they are very old models.

Also Ayeka has used her Mini-guardians several times in each series without her ship, I believe they also carry a internal source just commanded by her tiara finely.

Ayeka’s mini-guardians are never really explained. Consider she can manifest them seemingly whenever she needs them, I had always assumed they were a creation of her own. If someone has more data on them, let me know.

In the discussion I have come up with a theory that Juraians have power, just have a limit to how much they can do, but in a dire emergency however they can summon all of their power and sometimes more quickly. When they summon the power without a backup to Tree or a Key to hone it, they risk the danger of harming themselves. In Achika is an example of that, in Tenchi’s, Momo’s, Ayeka’s, and Yosho’s case however it is unclear, they might use their powers to the point it exhausts them.

I could agree with this assessment, that Juraians have a wellspring of power, but diving too deeply is dangerous. If Jurai’s power is actually tied to their lifeforce, that might explain why overuse can be deadly. Even then, it is possible that utilizing a supernatural power like this one puts a strain on the body, or even the mind, which can be detrimental in large doses. This would be an interesting topic if one were to discuss Jurai’s medicinal sciences. Tenchismile

I view the keys and Trees as peripherals, the Trees with the large amount of power and abilities, and the keys to access and regulate the power as well as any other function they may serve.

I could get behind this theory, particularly since it agrees with the use of the keys in the OVA and Ai Tenchi.

I wonder if the presence of Sasami and the fact that she and Tsunami are merged should be taken into account as another explanation as to why Aeka and Tenchi are able to access their powers

in certain cases.Just a theory.

Could these two be the trees paired with the knights? Considering their age from their height and gnarled features, they may well have stood for centuries, perhaps millennia, watching over the knights as they slept. gendo1 However, this is just a speculation on my part. blush1

Being legendary warriors they are the best and strongest out of every normal Jurai soldier or warrior, but also having the experience, knowledge, and endurance to use their mastered powers at high levels in any situation. Although this is speculation as we do not see them use their powers in any other situation then battle.

As a point of fact, in OVA series 1 episode 3, Ryoko is rummaging through Ayeka’s belongings for the sword.

Apparently, she did get some of her luggage off the ship before it sank into the lake, so it is likely the alarm might have already existed in her belongings. Likewise, there are some Juraian-styled devices in the carrot garden in series 1 episode 5.

Their purpose is not elaborated in the episode, but I would expect Ayeka had some of these from Ryu-Oh’s gardens.

I theorize that Ayeka created or access a space where she can call on her M-g’s with her tiara, as for Azaka and Kamidake it could be possible they were summoned the same way but need more evidence.”

In the OVA, that would work up until Ryu-Oh is destroyed in series 1 episode 5.

How is their appearance in Ai explained then. She had no ship or Tree, and she was in another Universe.
