| Tenchi in Tokyo | comment |
The second TV series based on Tenchi Muyo!, Tenchi in Tokyo is very different from its predecessors. It includes a different backstory for the main characters but in general seems to assume that viewers are familiar with previous versions of the storyline.In this series, Tenchi just wants to be normal, so he leaves his harem behind to go to school in Tokyo and work at his grandfather's friend's Shinto shrine. Upon settling in his new apartment and enrolling at his new school, Tenchi soon finds himself encountering Sakuya Kumashiro, the most popular girl in school who is (naturally) smitten with him and things seem good and normal at first for Tenchi, but it's soon revealed that a mysterious girl with fearsome powers named Yugi is threatening to not only take over all of Tokyo, but the entire world as well and it's up to Tenchi's harem (who are all trying to see him anyway) to come and save him... not just from Yugi, but also from Sakuya!The first half of the series is something of a Monster of the Week situation, but the later portion sees the traditional crew falling apart, only to come back together when they're really needed. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Tenchi in Tokyo / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Pretty Sammy and Pixy Misa (in their Magical Project S costumes) appear on the score display at a karaoke in episode 10. Pretty Sammy also appears on one of the photo sticker booths. Washu Doll A from Tenchi Universe appears in episode 12, carrying signs that read, "Call Me for Dinner". In "Tokyo or Bust!", the scene of Sakuya watching Tenchi working on a sketch of his school is a nod to a similar scene in Tenchi Muyo! in Love, where Achika watching Nobuyuki sketching out what would become the Masaki House. In the above episode, Ayeka imagines Sakuya as a dominatrix who has kidnapped and tortured Tenchi, which is ironic given that "Oujosama to Oyobi!" ("Call Me Queen!"), Ayeka's Image Song from the OVAs, was about her torturing Tenchi S&M style, with help from Sasami. Achika is also Tenchi's mother in this series; she appears or is mentioned in episodes 7, 12, and 17. | |

Road Trip Plot: "Tokyo or Bust!": Desperate to see Tenchi, and inspired by a news report of how a hitchhiker gained sympathy after he hitchhiked to Tokyo, Ayeka takes an unwilling Sasami and a sick Ryo-Ohki to Tokyo by hitchhiking. However, after they helped Masayo, they discovered they overshot Tokyo and wound up in Sendai; this causes Ayeka to be even more determined to continue hitchhiking to Tokyo, but by the time they arrived at Tenchi's apartment in Tokyo in the middle of the night, Ayeka and Sasami are too tired to talk to Tenchi, and they quietly leave the apartment through the now-repaired Dimensional Tunnel. | |

When she pulled on the strings, Ryoko and Ayeka were suddenly pulled into the dimension. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In Episode 16, "Carnival!", the girls (except Ryoko) travel to Tokyo to visit the school carnival at Tenchi's high school, but they end up ruining the carnival with their various antics: Mihoshi uses her Galaxy Police Blaster in a shooting gallery, Ryo-Ohki gets captured by a fanatical scientist, only for her to destroy the lab by transforming into her mecha form, Ayeka destroys a haunted house while searching for Tenchi, and Washu takes a robotic mouse, enlarges it, and lets it roam in the hallways, until it was destroyed by a combined effort between Ayeka, Mihoshi, and Kiyone. This causes Tenchi to lash out at the girls, and he sends them home, telling them that they cause nothing but trouble. | |

Promoted to Love Interest: Played with, but not given solid form when it comes to Kiyone, who was simply good friends with Tenchi in the previous Universe series. When Kiyone reunites with Ryoko in space, the very idea of Kiyone becoming Tenchi's girlfriend is brought up, likely as a tactic to goad Ryoko into returning. Beyond that, Kiyone isn't shown to have any romantic or flirtatious moments with Tenchi during the course of Tokyo. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Tenchi in Tokyo / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: At the end of "Ryoko's Big Date", when Sakuya is emotionally angry at Tenchi for lying to her about going on a date with Ryoko and then running away from him much to Tenchi's own personal dismay, Yugi, who's silently watching the entire scene play out, starts to cry unexpectedly, which can be very odd considering that at this point, Yugi is played up as being the Big Bad of the series and that it wouldn't make sense for her to cry for her own targeted victims. It's not until near the end of the series that the entire scenario itself soon makes sense in due time when the viewers themselves eventually learn that Sakuya is actually Yugi's shadow and thus a reflection of her own personality. | |

Karma Houdini: Ryoko's a notorious space pirate, as usual. She lands on Earth in this series trying to steal the Jurai Light Stone with Washu, after which Tenchi nursed her and the others back to health. Seeing him kiss Sakuya, she goes back to pirating on an S-class scale to try to run away from her problems. She never gets arrested or imprisoned in any way for her crimes, and seems to be the frontrunner for Tenchi at endgame with Sakuya out of the picture. | |

Adaptational Backstory Change | |
| Tenchi in Tokyo / int_ba46585b | comment |
Adaptational Backstory Change: The series has a different backstory for the major characters as opposed to Ryo-Ohki and Tenchi Universe. Washu and Ryoko steal the Jurai Light Stone, only to get pursued by Ayeka, Sasami, Mihoshi and Kiyone. Then, after Ryoko, Washu, Ayeka and Sasami crash-land near the Masaki Shrine in Okayama, Ryoko absorbs the Light Stone and transforms into a demonized version of herself. However, she is thwarted when Tenchi uses the sword formed from his crystal necklace to draw the Light Stone out from her. Furthermore, Tenchi and Lord Katsuhito are full Earthlings, possessing no familial or genetic connection to Jurai. They are Starkeepers, a long line of Earth Guardians whose power lies in the crystal necklace that can become a sword. | |

Backstory Invader | |
| Tenchi in Tokyo / int_bab2af18 | comment |
Backstory Invader: Sakuya Kumashiro was created by Yugi and inserted into the school Tenchi goes to in Tokyo, with all her classmates getting false memories of her. Since Tenchi was new in town to begin with he never had the opportunity to even suspect anything was different. Ultimately, once Yugi decided that Sakuya had outlived her usefulness, Sakuya was reabsorbed back into her and all the other students besides Tenchi forgot she'd ever existed- she even disappeared from photographs. | |

Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe: The trope is normally averted in the Tenchi Muyo! world since the Masaki shrine is located in the prefecture of Okayama, but in this particular series it's played completely straight. | |

Dark Magical Girl | |
| Tenchi in Tokyo / int_dc73eb79 | comment |
Dark Magical Girl: Yugi. Unusual example as she's the Big Bad of this continuity but let's count off the traditional traits: A special and close relationship to the Magical Girl (in this case, Sasami) Obessive control of friends as opposed to the sweet helpfulness of Sasami. Not truly evil, and eventually making a Heel–Face Turn at the end of the series. | |

Stood Up: In episode 10, when Tenchi chose to go on a date with Ryoko instead of Sakuya. When it's all over and Ryoko goes back home after a great day, Tenchi goes home, passes by the local park... and finds Sakuya, who has been waiting for him around five hours (thank God she chose a bench in the park instead of a restaurant). She lets Tenchi explain himself and forgives him, but she can't help crying anyway as she explains herself to Tenchi as well. Since Sakuya is a "shadow" of the Big Bad Yugi, there's some lampshading as Yugi watches over the whole exchange from above, and when Sakuya starts crying... Yugi cries too, much to Yugi's own shock. | |

Star-Crossed Lovers: Isao and Masayo are a literal example, as falling stars who were transformed into humans (as a super-fast runner who can't stop his race and someone chasing after him) and used by Yugi and Tsugaru to separate Ayeka and Sasami further from Tenchi. It doesn't work since Ayeka decides to help Masayo, and by the end of the episode they're back together. | |

Oddball in the Series | |
| Tenchi in Tokyo / int_f068cba | comment |
Oddball in the Series: At the time this series premiered, it was different to say the least in comparison to previous Tenchi installments. The animation differed significantly and the Denser and Wackier tone contrasted strongly with the previous shows. The series experimented much more by having Tenchi attend college away from his harem of girls. The Masaki family in this continuity no longer had roots in Jurai, this time being native to Earth from a long line of guardians. The series also made even more use of Canon Foreigner characters than before, particularly with Sakuya being one of Tenchi's newest love interests and the show even chose to forgo using the franchise's most iconic antagonist Kagato in favor of new, original villains in Yugi, Hotsuma, Tsugaru, and Matori. For the time, Tenchi in Tokyo was probably the most experimental Tenchi installment yet and its somewhat negative reception made sure that there wouldn't be much experimenting with Alternate Universe Tenchi shows again until seventeen years later when Ai Tenchi Muyo premiered which gave the whole "Tenchi embarks on a new life path, spends less time with his traditional harem, and interacts with more Canon Foreigner characters" concept another go. | |
