Kajishima’s Tenchi Ban 13.08 Afterward Translated

also a few questions rise up out of this

…while Tenchi is scheduled for the start of next year, as per usual. I definitely don’t want to run into any weird trouble this time around…… I can’t do that anymore. Never again……

First and foremost, what Tenchi? I only say that because even though it’s implied it’s the GXP novel, I wasn’t under the impression he ever had any problems with his GXP novels? Unless he lamenting GXP the anime, which wouldn’t make sense in that context and shouldn’t even be brought up, unless he’s bringing up something midway through a thought related to an anime project that isn’t “original”. I only say that because of this next quote

As for the anime, as is typical for an original series, getting it greenlighted is proving tough. So, unfortunately, there’s nothing really to say about it for now. I guess all we can do is hope that the sales of Paradise will increase a little more…..

So I think we can all assume from this he means a Paradise War anime, but that brings into question, what are these other “Tenchi anime projects” (as in more than one), that he hinted at in previous Doujins? If he’s speaking so freely about Paradise War, I’m under the impression that its not a “thing” yet (obviously), but if he has to hold his tongue to other projects, than the contracts on those projects are obviously a thing no? (in an NDA type deal)

As is par the course I guess, you learn one thing, and 10 questions pop up

This came directly from the FAQ, now I don’t know about you, but I don’t use the word “several” when I’m talking about 1 or 2 things, Paradise War is probably what he’s shooting for the most, but if we liken this to his previous deal with AIC/VAP, then we can definitely make the assumption it’s 3, and if I were AIC, I would never do 3 original properties, financially its just not a guarantee like an OVA4 would be.

… you know what follows. 😉

… you know what follows. 😉

Yes but it’s not simply a random assumption, and all of the info I’m basing the assumption on is coming right from the FAQ

Kajishima said that GXP was not going to be animated again – check

Kajishima said that what is being animated was canon – check

Kajishima said that “several anime projects” were in the works – check

So literally all it can be is Paradise War, Seikishi 2, and OVA4, unless he decides to animate more Dual and the Novels, If I’m missing something, than by all means, but this theory/assumption is far more grounded in reality than anything else, I’m playing it by the book (literally), lol.

Do we have to fill in the blanks quite a bit here? Of course, it’s all we can do, not only hearing only tidbits being non-Japanese fans, but the fact that Kajishima plays it close to the chest.

I think these three are a good bet, and it’s what I’d put my money on if I had to guess. In our cast discussion on the matter (before this new information) between those of us participating, this seems to be where we generally overlapped on opinion (though, in the cast, I had thought Paradise War could have been an OVA, but it wouldn’t be a true OVA now seeing as how Kajishima needs to do the novels to hopefully get an anime greenlighted, so technically it would be an adaptation).

Wouldn’t it be awesome, though, if he threw all of us for a loop and did more with Dual? (I know, it won’t happen, but if it did…)

… you know what follows. 😉

Heh!heh!heh!

Just for the record, would I like to see an OVA 4? You bet! GXP 2? Right on!

But yeah, for all I know, Kajishima-sensei wants to finally finish Agga Ruter after all these years. *lol*

😆 lawdy, if it wasn’t for that there bein some mighty explicit hentai, i’d probably be interested in that thar project of his, & any continuation thereafter (isn’t Agga Ruter technically canon?) 😳

Thanks for the answer, ANB, and for the straight up review of Agga Ruter. I don’t doubt there might be a decent enough story there, but I couldn’t make it far enough to find it (just not my cup of tea).

It does seem like that when you think about it…

Well, in regards to Tenchi not being one of Kenshi’s trainers it could be possible Tenchi was opposed to the idea…

I imagine it went something like this

Tenchi: I don’t want to be a part of this, he’s my little brother, he’s family, etc

The elders in the Masaki family: Tenchi you may think he’s human, but really he’s a biomechanical machine made for a specific purpose, you may not like it, but that’s how it is

wthplz

That would be the best bet for it. As that is something I can see Tenchi doing, which also brings up my theory about how Kenshi got a light hawk wings. Though I have to go back in rewatch SKT.

I can support this statement. :Cheeks:

Reminder: This the OVA continuity, so the only known Kiyone in this storyline is dead. 😉

Also: Re-watch episode 6 to see Mihoshi’s unarmed combat skills. 😎

Good theory Ninjaboy, I myself would have guessed something like “oh, lighthawk wing out of nowhere just as the need is dire? Yup, he’s Tenchi’s brother alright” but, going off of the FAQ, it would seem that neither Kenshi nor his sword in this scenario in and of themselves was “special” in the right way to constitute creating a lighthawk wing, but rather, as stated, by way of Kenshi throwing around something with a ridiculously-dense mass at ridiculously-fast speeds. Though, it should be noted, that even this alone may not have been enough, and Kenshi himself in the equation (being blood related to Tenchi) should not be underestimated (why did his forehead glow exactly as Tenchi’s did–albeit one instead of Tenchi’s three–when he used his lighthawk wing?).

In short, I wanted to let you know that that wasn’t a bad guess, and in general forming your own hypotheses, even good ones, with Kajishima’s work you still probably have a 50/50 chance of getting it right at best (he likes to keep us guessing).

Yeah it was in the latest doujin. Here’s the pic.

Hah, we might as well. I think everyone in the picture is either from Tenchi’s harem or Seina’s harem.

I also think that the extra cabbits are the clones of Fuku that we saw in GXP. In my opinion this further supports the implication that Seina is Minamida from Paradise War (think about it he’s doing the same thing here that Minamida is doing in Paradise War, observing.) I have no definite proof that those are Tenchi’s or Seina’s kids but I can’t think of who else they could be.

I have no idea who she will have them with. That’s anybody’s guess. The reason I say that those could be her kids are because of the cover of Kajishima’s Tenchi Sokuhou doujin.

According to the info that there is on the doujin the cabbit Ryoko’s daughter is holding isn’t Ryo-ohki but her child. There is only one in this picture but whose to say she couldn’t have more?

Or maybe showing Kenshi like they are is going to be the segway FOR the kids, now that would be awesome, it also begs the question, if Kenshi is 15 in Geminar, and they are watching him, those kids are supposed to be like what, 12, 13 maybe in that shot? This would imply if OVA4 left off a few years after OVA3 and goes right up to when Kenshi leaves for Geminar, then those kids are conceived bth__sneakyfaceplz__by_inukagome134-d3clrcp and grow up in that time, so we SHOULD see them in OVA4, if OVA4 takes that route.

Again, does not exist in OVA continuity.

I’m guessing clones, but there’s also the angle Dagon mentioned, “the child of Ryo-Ohki” but in that context specifically, the Phoenix aspect implies rebirth, as in not so much offspring as replacement.

I really hope it’s not actually Ryo-Ohki’s offspring with someone…I know she can take humanoid form, but that’d be just weird.

“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” 😉

I agree. All i’m trying to say is that Kajishima has made his usual vague “hints” implying that it is possible. I really think he’s just trying to play mind games with us so in the end he can try and catch us off guard. I honestly think that the other cabbits are the Fuku clones and that the one in that doujin is her reincarnated. Would it surprise me though if it really were her child? Honestly no. Since this is Kaji were talking about it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he tries something like that. He definitely loves to come from way out in left field with his ideas and this would be exactly that.
