(OK so it was 2 questions.)

More questions will come to their minds... like

Spoiler:

"Wasn't it Washu that was in that cave, and not Ryouko?", "Who's this Lady Tokimi person?", "Why does Ryo-Ohki look like a little girl sometimes?", "Who is Dr. clay?"

And to continue, here's some questions that will more than likely come up as the 3rd OVA goes on...

Spoiler:

"Who is Zero and why is she a part of Ryouko?", "What are Light Hawk Wings?"

So yeah... that's about all I gotta say on THAT matter.

Trust me. Watch the first two OVAs before venturing into OVA3, you'll thank yourself later.

Ehhhh..A counter arguer and a good one at THAT..I am getting excited.. *flexing my fingers as I am brewing a fresh pot of coffee*



The first episode of the OVA3 is not a follow up to the previous OVA series..This episode was pretty much self-explanatory with a new theme which we get a clue of in the 3rd quarter of the episode..Tenchi has all those flash back from the previous series to set up the new theme..The flash-back helped the old viewer to get into sync and the new viewers will get some idea of what's going on even if they never saw a single episode of the previous OVA series...That is why each flash-back taken from particular episode reiterated the main point of the episode so firmly (basically told the whole story). Might I add Chibi has followed the Tenchi Universe series, so Chibi is not a new viewer. As for the answer to the other questions,

Spoiler:

Ryo-ohki has the ability to turn itself into a little girl

why? a Tenchi Univers viewer will simply deduce if a cat can turn into a ship, it must have figured out way to turn into a little girl somehow

Spoiler:

In the previous OVA series a whole episode was wasted just to explain that

.. As for Kiyone, I suspect an incest theme is in order which will reveal itself as the episode progress and providing the new viewer is patient )..

Spoiler:

"Wasn't it Washu that was in that cave, and not Ryouko?", "Who's this Lady Tokimi person?", "Who is Dr. clay?"

I have mentioned that in the little spoiler of my previous post about the intro of Ryokou..That is the only thing can off balance a Tenchi Universe viewer who is trying to follow the OVA3 without watching the previous 2 OVAs'..So if a Tenchi Universe viewer pay attention to the flash-back they will get their answer...

Spoiler:

Dr clay is just another villain who is trying to harm Tenchi's interest and that is all a new viewer will care to know

..If the animators going to relate more material to progress the story of the OVA3; they, cleverly, will give us some more flash back..Afterall, they will try to attract new viewers with the old ones so the new viewers get curious enough to venture, as you put, into the old series....That’s why I left all those other question unanswered..Beside those questions are irrelevant anyway at this point of the series..



Btw, a thunder clasp realization…while we argue Chibi may have already seen the episode
