Tenchi Masaki Kami Tenchi

In answer to your question, yes, via OVA 3 it is revealed that Tenchi is what the Chousin were looking for (which means they’re neither omnipotent nor omniscient, unless the technicality of dimensions is taken into consideration which still by definition would not be all knowing or all powerful if there is anything beyond their scope). I’m pretty sure “Tenchi-kami” kind of followed soon after, a moniker quickly given unto Tenchi via fans but it’s accurate: Kami=Tenchi, Tenchi=Kami, the source of Tenchi’s LHW all along (even though Z somehow ends up with his own through other means).

Source for this interview?

Tenchi is never referred to anywhere in that interview as a Kami.

So then where is ANB’s source for referring to Tenchi as a God (Kami)? Because I don’t remember him ever referred to as a Kami in the Japanese language track.

Six? I haven’t OVA 3’d in a while, when did that happen?

However, notice that there are only three contiguous pieces: the ring in the center, the ring side with three wing-like protrusions, and the left side with three wing-like protrusions. Hence, Tenchi still only has three Light Hawk Wings, despite the fact they are configured to appear like six. Think of it like a caterpillar puffing up to look like a snake.. The display looks more impressive than it really is.

This is a interview of the author so i believe that Tenchi is kami infact when the chousin restart the universe Tenchi have six light hawk wing so he has his power no from an other person

The classic one.

Please show me where in the interview Masaki Kajishima states that Tenchi is a “kami”, a “god”, or anything of the like. Until I see hard evidence from the series itself or from a creator’s mouth, then “Kami Tenchi” is mere fan speculation at best, and fan fiction at worst.

Keep in mind, Tsunami has ten Light Hawk Wings as of OVA series 1 episode 6. Even if Tenchi had six, that does not trump ten.

No worries. I’ve been wrong many times, and my students like to remind me. blush1

I still like the idea of Tenchi being the super-god. Because it somehow ends the show ! The Chousins achieved their goal, the household is literally invicible. And in my opinion, Kajishima likes this idea of invicibility, look at Kenshi ! It all makes sense. I Mean Kenshi is totally over-powered and he has been raised by Tenchi & cie. All the characters of Kajishima are somewhat gods. (Didn’t watch Dual! & stuff yet… ).

Maybe I’m just really influenced by everything i read blush1 . But i really like these “epic-over-powered” people. That’s why i cherish the OVA continuity.

Nothing is wrong with liking an idea, even a godlike character. After all, Superman has been written numerous times to be godlike, and he’s still quite popular. mmhmm1

However, I will admit that I am not a fan of godlike characters usually. If the protagonist can wave his hand and resolve any problem, there is no conflict. There is no plot. How can a character develop if there are no trials to overcome, no day to save, no dilemma to understand?

On the other hand, godlike villains are fantastic. They are a seemingly insurmountable obstacle, an impervious threat, a challenge that may never be met. Kagato seemed that way in OVA series 1 episode 6 as he seemed to have a solution to everything thrown at him by Ryoko, Ayeka, or Tenchi. To parallel Superman above, Darkseid can be a fantastic villain as a New God in Kirby’s Fourth World: evil ideology, extremely powerful, and a badass voice (Michael Ironside, Justice League / Justice League Unlimited).

But finally, if this image is a true canon image : (from Shin Tenchi Muyo! Jurai)

I have enjoyed speculating about this image, though I have always thought Ryoko only had two Light Hawk Wings. Much like Tenchi in the image you posted, Chaud, I think what is being seen here are feather-like or wing-like protrusions that make two wings seem far more impressive. Sadly, we have never seen Ryoko’s speculated ability to create Light Hawk Wings, nor do I expect to see it in the near future. wtfisthis1

Nope, but as whoo said earlier, that’s pretty much what happened anyway.

A lot of mystery surrounding those wings, huh? 😉

None of the following is sourced, btw, it’s just what I can remember from years in the fandom.

The LHW’s were always enigmatic, and purposefully so; like the forging of Tolkien’s Silmarils or El-Hazard’s Eye of God, the ineffability of their exact origin and power made them quite iconic. So, time for some fun speculating!

In OVA 1, we learn of their connection with Jurai, its trees (ships) and its people, particularly the Royal Family. Continuing from there, we learn about the matron deity of said nobility, Tsunami, who is also described as the first tree and the most powerful ship in the Jurain fleet. This “ship” can create ten lighthawk wings, something outside the capability of any other ship. So, the big revelation at the end of OVA 1 is that a person alone could somehow activate “the wings of the lighthawk” because we already knew royalty paired with a tree could conceivably do so (as Yosho did fighting Kagato).

From here, it seems their connection is specifically with Jurai and ultimately with the progenitor Tsunami. But how did Tenchi do it without being bonded to a tree? His heritage seemed to be the answer. However, as it is eluded to in OVA 2 and revealed in OVA 3, neither connection to the royal family by blood nor a connection to a Jurain tree seem to be required to produce these manifestations (what’s more, GXP shows that not even the former is required for harnessing power, real or political, and any John Doe that pairs with the right tree will do just fine apparently). The mysterious character Z is not only able to produce them by his own power, as Tenchi can, but trumped the protagonist’s three with five wings total. He’s not connected to Tsunami in any way, nor is he Jurain. How is this possible? Well, we find out Tsunami has siblings, and Z is some sort of champion of Tokimi. So, did he pull power from Tsunami’s sister (similar type of power)? Actually, apparently not; apparently, lighthawk wings aren’t all that special after all, and our understanding of probability apply to them just as much as they hypothetically would to a room full of monkeys and typewriters (Heard of that one, right?.) Tokimi, utilizing a cosmic form of laissez faire, simply did nothing for long enough and again some John Doe was eventually born at the right time and inexplicably obtained lighthawk wings, once thought to be exclusively the power of the Chousin (or at least, the divine in some form).

Why does the heredity theory of divine powers still exist? Well for one thing, we’ve all been influenced to speculate as such in general, but other than that, the presumptions about Ryoko and the gems and her own lighthawk abilities have strongly contributed. It has been asserted that Ryoko could boast up to ten lighthawk wings potentially (I don’t know if that gained steam solely from the cover image) if in possession of the gems, because she would be using them herself (not under the influence of Kagato), and thus as the daughter (not merely creation) of a ‘god’ (Washu), assuming the Chousin’s power does share some sibling similarities (which according to Lady Funaho in OVA 2, they apparently do, with the gems aiding in Yosho’s longevity on Earth), she would ‘grow into’ the godlike powers of her mother (if Washu decided to retire from being a know-it-all).

But there is another, more concrete reason the heredity conceptualization still persists: War on Geminar.

As anyone who has seen it knows, the conclusion of WoG involves Kenshi, Tenchi’s half brother, materializing his own lighthawk wing out of the blue. How is this possible? One might point to the seikishi’s pillar-sword, but I contend this is not the case: it acted as a catalyst, a physical and mental aid for Kenshi to harness the LHW into a sword; the rock itself was useless (whether it’s Tsunami telling Tenchi to “trust in your own power” or Yogurt telling Lonestar the secret of the schwartz, we all have pop culture precedence for the power of the placebo effect). So how did Kenshi do it? The series itself does not give us anything concrete. Did Tokimi herself intervene unbeknownst to everyone? Did Kenshi randomly obtain them as did Z? (On that note, I’m reminded of a theory I first heard from our own Dagon123 about the possibility that Kenshi is in fact a reincarnation of Z, done so out of Tokimi’s desire to have bonded with him as Washu had with Tenchi and Tsunami with Sasami.) Or did it in fact have something to do with the fact that Kenshi just happens to be related to Tenchi, the ‘Kami’ figure of Kajishima’s oeuvre (be it by blood or inter-dimensional nepotism)? Maybe Nobuyuki, the boys’ father, holds the secret? Perhaps another installment of Geminar, whether animated or written, could elaborate someday.

Lets keep discussion civil please, do not attack others.

Lup that’s why you are wrong

3 Omnipotent beings cant exist that’s a paradox

3 beings then stated and shown to be Nigh-Omnipotent cant create a omnipotent being this proves the fan served “Kami Tenchi” ISNT a true omnipotent being just a mid tier nigh-omnipotent where the creators are Low tier.

A technicality, but an important one. Lupin, by definition (courtesy of a five-second Google search), “omnipotent” means all powerful: if there is anything beyond the Chousins’ scope–which they explicitly say there is via “Kami” Tenchi–then they are not omnipotent. They are very, very powerful, but their designation falls down to semantics. Familiar with the old paradoxical exercise “What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?” The answer, logically, would be you have one or the other: if an “unstoppable” force is stopped, it’s not unstoppable; if an “immovable” object moves, it’s not actually immovable; if an “omnipotent” being cannot do something, they’re not actually omnipotent after all.
