The first television series based on Tenchi Muyo!, Tenchi Universe (also known as Tenchi Muyo! TV) tells a similar story to Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, but in a longer manner. It was directed by Hiroshi Negishi and produced by AIC.The first half of the series, "Earth Adventure", introduces the main characters, and a short arc that explores various fantasy worlds ("Time and Space Adventures") follows. The show's second half, the "Space Adventure" arc, follows Tenchi and the gang as they travel to Jurai in attempt to stop a coup. This show is its own specific continuity; although it shares almost all of the chief characters from the OVA, many aspects of the story and characterization are changed from the OVA.This series was followed by two movies, Tenchi Muyo! in Love (released after the series' conclusion) and Tenchi Forever! (Tenchi Muyo! in Love 2: Haruka Naru Omoi, released in 1999), which are both set in the same continuity. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Tenchi Universe / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Both movies set in this continuity certainly qualify. Tenchi Muyo! in Love has a noticeably more tragic, violent, and overall somber tone with little emphasis on comedy compared to the TV series. Additionally, Tenchi Forerver! depicts a more downbeat, melancholic story, focusing more on the relationship between Ayeka, Tenchi and Ryoko, as well as shedding some light on Katsuhito's tragic past. | |

Unreliable Narrator: Ryoko explains to the others at times that her rivalry with Ayeka dates back to when they were both children, and her flashbacks paint Ayeka as a cruel, spoiled brat while Ryoko is poor and innocent. Ayeka retorts with her own version of the events which paints Ryoko as mean and mischievous while she's the innocent one. | |

Washu is simply a mad scientist who was imprisoned on Earth for making doomsday devices and other bizarre inventions and isn't the mother of Ryoko (who is "just" a space pirate), Ayeka and Sasami are only distantly related to Katsuhito, Tenchi is related to Katsuhito only through his mother's side of the family, Nobuyuki is still the father of Tenchi but isn't a descendent of Katsuhito, and Mihoshi is not related to Washu. | |

Unrelated in the Adaptation: The entire main cast are this since they were all related to each other in some kind in the OVA. These include: Tenchi and Katsuhito are no longer closely related to Ayeka or Sasami. Same goes to Nobuyuki, who isn't a descendant of Juraians and is just a normal human. While Ryoko and Ryo-ohki are still partners, they aren't sisters. In turn, Washu isn't their mother. Since Tsunami doesn't exist, she never assimilated with Sasami and thus isn't related to Washu. Mihoshi isn't the great-great-granddaughter of Washu and great-grandniece of Ryoko and Ryo-ohki. | |

Adaptation Distillation: This series features a very similar setting to the original OVA, but a lot of the more confusing and complicated parts are altered or outright removed. While this does remove some of the Worldbuilding of the original, it gives the plot more focus, at least past the halfway point. | |

Friendly Enemy: When Kiyone first arrives at the Masaki estate, she makes it her mission to arrest Ryoko. Ryoko, for her part, is completely nonplussed and seems content to just share a drink with her. By the end of the episode, the "enemy" part of the equation is completely erased. | |

Really 700 Years Old | |
| Tenchi Universe / int_5c5ac0e2 | comment |
Really 700 Years Old: Seemingly averted in this continuity. For instance, in contrast to the OVA continuity, Juraians appear to age more-or-less the same as humans do; the prime example here would be Yosho/Katsuhito, who is fully Juraian in Universe (as opposed to being only half-Juraian in the OVA). This is most apparent in the final film Tenchi Forever!, where Haruna states that she's waited "half a century" since her death, meaning that Yosho has been on Earth for only 50+ years as opposed to 700 in the OVA. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Near the end of the film, Ayeka finally realizes Tenchi had chosen Ryoko in his heart. She then urges Ryoko to go to him while there was still time, before Haruna's dimension collapses. Just before the final scene, when she asks if anyone's seen Tenchi, Sasami replies he was at the top of the hill and that she'd seen Ryoko heading after him. Ayeka simply smiles. | |

Out-of-Genre Experience: Tenchi Forever! trades Universe’s and Tenchi Muyo! in Love’s action and humor in favor of a more downbeat, melancholic story. While it still contains heavy science fiction elements (one that deals with parallel worlds and time-dilation), they are downplayed in order to focus more on the relationship between Tenchi, Ryoko, and Ayeka, as well as to shed some light on Katsuhito's tragic past as Yosho, shortly before he came to Earth. | |

Out-of-Character Moment: Despite not having any romantic feelings for Tenchi in this continuity, both Sasami and Mihoshi's ideal worlds in "The Time and Space Adventures" arc cast them in ways that show otherwise. Sasami falls for him after meeting him just once at his school where her Pretty Sammy adventure takes place, and Mihoshi serves as his housewife for her section. Making this stand out even more is how at the beginning of the arc, Mihoshi says she wants a world where she and Kiyone will always be partners, but Kiyone herself has a very minor role in it. This is in large part due to the arc being an adaptation of a drama CD that was more aligned with the OVA series. | |

Evil Counterpart: Kagato, who is the ruler of Jurai and master of the Jurai power in this canon, wields his own dark counterpart to Sword Tenchi. While the original sword is a thin, katana-like sword with a light blue blade, Kagato's is a larger sword resembling a broadsword with a black-and-red blade. | |

Foreshadowing: Several times: In Episode 1, "No Need For Discussions!" Lord Katsuhito makes a comment about how cold Space is. In Episode 2, "No Need For Princesses!", Lord Katsuhito makes a comment comparing Earth and Jurai. In Episode 9, "No Need For Memories!", Ayeka watches Tenchi sword-sparring with Katsuhito. She notes Tenchi's stances resemble Juraian sword-play. In the same episode, Sasami cures a feverish Tenchi using the sap of a Juraian Tree. Azaka and Kamidake note this success, having thought the sap's healing qualities only work for Juraians... In Episode 15, "No Need For An Escape!", when the family learns about the new Emperor Yosho, Katsuhito gives a look. In Episode 22, "No Need for Knights!", Katsuhito mentions that when he first arrived on Earth, he was "alone and grief-striken". The reason for this is finally revealed in the second film, Tenchi Forever! | |

Naked People Are Funny: Washu transports Kiyone from 1970 back to the present day to give her some information regarding Kain, as well as a new communication device to replace the goggles-with-screens device that was being used beforehand. Unfortunately, Kiyone was bathing at the time, so she ended up coming to Washu's laboratory completely naked. Washu then produces a towel for Kiyone to cover herself up with. What makes this scene truly funny is how clearly embarrassed Kiyone is at the time. | |

Ryoko is also targeted for "assisting" in a possible takeover. Tenchi, Washu, Mihoshi, Kiyone, Nobuyuki, and Katsuhito also get branded as criminals by association. They all spend the rest of the season traveling through space, dodging attempted capture, to get to Planet Jurai and uncover the truth. | |

Unperson: Kagato's name was erased from Jurai's history following his first defeat at the hands of Yosho, which was why Ayeka and Sasami had never heard of him. | |

Vitriolic Best Buds: This describes Ryoko and Ayeka's relationship with one another for most of the film. They've largely put aside their differences and mutual animosity following Tenchi's disappearance in order to look for him. | |

| Tenchi Universe / int_d8afec40 | comment |
…But He Sounds Handsome: Ryoko and Ayeka enter the swimsuit competition described above pretending to be lookalikes of themselves (since they're now notorious fugitives known by the public). Ryoko comments that the "real" Ryoko doesn't sound that bad, and that she was probably roped into conspiring with Ayeka. Ayeka, standing nearby, isn't pleased. | |

Something We Forgot: In Episode 19, "No Need for Runaways!", Tenchi and company spend the entire episode trying to recover the stolen Yagami from a pair of wannabe gangsters, which gets complicated since they also had to deal with the Galaxy Police. Once they get the ship back, they continue their journey, until Tenchi realizes that they accidentally left Ayeka and Sasami back at the restaurant during their rush to reclaim the Yagami. | |

Nerf: Pretty much all the characters are downgraded in power here compared to the OVA. People who were originally outright gods or close enough to it are instead more akin to superhumans; they're powerful, but they don't have the far-reaching cosmic influence they were capable of before, and a sufficiently-sized force of Mooks from Jurai or the Galaxy Police can be a threat to them. | |

Flanderization | |
| Tenchi Universe / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: This is one of the most common complaints about this series. Most notable amongst the changes are Mihoshi being demoted from Genius Ditz to The Ditz, Ryoko and Ayeka's feud becoming less important to the story, Washu becoming an egomaniacal Mad Scientist with two pop-up dolls to proclaim her greatness ("Washu, you are a genius!", "Washu, you are the greatest!"), Ryoko becomes a less likable Jerkass, Ayeka is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, and Tenchi is more wishy-washy and easily flustered (compared to the OVAs). The Tenchi Muyo! in Love film, however, reverts the characters back more towards their OVA personalities, and in Tenchi Forever!, the characters' personalities are subdued to work within the confines of the serious, dramatic story being told. Therefore, it can be argued that this is ultimately a case of Characterization Marches On. | |

Set in the early years of The Great Depression (specifically 1932, as shown on a mugshot), it features Ryoko and Tenchi as a Bonnie and Clyde-esque pair, Ayeka as Tenchi's forgotten fiancée, and Mihoshi and Kiyone as FBI agents. | |
