[hidden][spoil]“Washu, I have an unusual request.” Tenchi nervously stuttered out as he entered through the dimensional portal into her lab. She sat cross-legged in her usual spot, grinding away at another one of her experiments.

“What is it, my favorite little experiment~” she cooed in response. Tenchi flinched and shot a glance over his shoulder for her little tentacle trap.

“Well, it’s… uh, god this is so difficult to explain. I shouldn’t have come. Sorry to have wasted your ti-” before he could finish his thought, the dimensional portal disappeared. Washu plopped down from her perch and approached the nervous boy.

“Now now Tenchi, what’s all this about?” Her eyes speckled with her usual lust for curiosity.

“It’s nothing, just a medical question but I-I think it’s fine, really!”

“Aw c’moooooon Tenchi, I’m your doctor right?” Tenchi had flashbacks of her in the nurse outfit, the needles, the gloved hand reaching down… his concentration broken by her hand dragging itself across his chest. He felt the helplessness overtake him once again, and sighed.

“Well, it’s about Ryo-ohki actually.”

Washu’s hand stopped in its place. This wasn’t the kind of medical question she had in mind.

“Did she eat too many carrots again?” As Washu turned away, Tenchi felt the blood rushing to his head while piecing together his next words.

“Not exactly, though I guess you could call it a carrot of sorts…”

I am going to hell

Tenchi is the only thing keeping her on earth so if he picks another one of the girls, either she can stay there as a third wheel or get her ass back to mars so to speak. She’s very proud of her heritage and loves her family. Take Tenchi out of her future and i’m sure she’d eventually take her seat on the throne. As we also discussed, if she did end up with Tenchi or was particularly tenacious she could have the option of ruling by proxy – having a collective of trusted people (though really, putting trust in anything Juraian is a huge mistake) make decisions for her while she lived abroad. I believe the term we used was Maternity Leave earlier in the night. This also leaves room for dramatic development as she is unable to control what actually happens back home like this.

If big sister refuses the throne, I don’t see Sasami agreeing to take her place for some reason.

On the other hand, I still think that Seiryo could be an option for gnabbing the throne. He’s very obviously rather high up on the food chain back at the ol’ wooden shitsville and even without Ayeka’s hand in marriage may be able to get that spot on the throne. Guess it would be less of a succession since he’s unrelated to the Masaki bloodline and more of a usurp, but it could give an out in the event that an OVA5 would be desired.
