Another Tenchi LN spin off that takes place after the still ongoing gxp LNs. A lot of the information is still sketchy as there aren't any full summaries to my knowledge but this is what I could find from astronerdboys faq

The story centers around KUKOMA Shou, who takes a trip to the “paradise” Banjo Island, based on a pamphlet from a friend of his mother’s. Due to a procedural error, Kukoma is forced into a survivalist lifestyle on the island. He meets several girls here, all of whom help him adjust to his new life. A week later as he’s finally starting to get settled in, he discovers someone else living on the island who will “shake up the galaxy.”

Who are the central characters in Paradise War?

KUKOMA Shou: He’s a young teen (unknown age at present) who comes to Banjo Island for paradise and ends up in a survivalist lifestyle, aided by several young women he meets.

Dird Shank: She is the representative from the Shank Guild and currently 1882nd in line for the guild’s successorship.

Alea Balta: She is the representative from the Balta guild and currently 23200th in line for the guild’s successorship. She is the youngest among Alea, Apuesta, Dird, and Palty.

Apuesa Da Ruma: She is the representative from the Da Ruma guild and currently 215th in line for the guild’s successorship.

Palty Jurai: She is the 18 year old representative from the planet Jurai and currently 3399th in line for the imperial throne. She is the oldest among Alea, Apuesta, Dird, and Palty. What house she belongs to on Jurai (Masaki, Kamiki, etc.) has not yet been revealed, but the fact that she has “Jurai” at the end of her name means she should be partnered with a royal tree.

Miron Pham: This person is the observer from Earth and the only doctor on the island.

Minamida: He is the observer from the Galactic Alliance. Minamida is actually a pseudonym for YAMADA Seina from GXP. He walks around with four cabbits (D, F, M, K). These cabbits are believed to be either clones of Fuka from episode 24 of GXP or sub-Fukas (which I think is similar to the sub-Ryo-ohkis in TM!R).

Shank, Balta, and Da Ruma? Weren’t those pirate guilds in GXP?

Yes. I’m assuming these guilds are still pirate in nature, but until I get more information, I won’t say for sure.

The cabinets D F M and K are D from Dual, Fuku, Miki and Kirche. All of which aside from D are reincarnations of the girls from Dual. And also Seina's wives.

Well just saw the new OVA. Yeah the relationship has moved forward to the point that with Ryoki's reaction we might be 9 months out from the first of the daughters.

Still more PW stuff.

The victims of the stupid hags club. Why do I think the emperor named it?

[tsunade666]

I just watched episode 4 of the ova' s and what the heck is guardian? something washu made? and kenchi also had one but will only activate in case of death or near death.

this episode shows the training that Kenchi is going through and also some bits from the new casts that will live with them in the end. with how it ended in the episode.

I just wish this is a proper series and not ova. lacking too much info for me to like it.

Spoiler for cabbits:

those four cabbits are people that can change into cabbits
F is fuku, D is D from an alternate earth.M is miki an clone of kiriko's mother. miki was killed in an exploding ships due to shanks and K is kirche internet idol that ran away and took over NB and the reason for the perverted things was the perverted grandma that took over.they can change back into human form at will

Spoiler for About the recent OVA 5 episode 4:

Considering what little I knew of the light novels, it has been going that route since the beginning, so to see exactly what I needed to see from the opening scene proves it. They're not saying anything to Kenshi, and they're just sparkling in a way that I know what happened. Granted I've been away from the series for some time, but that doesn't mean I won't stop picking up on something that I'm used to seeing already.

Kenshi's training is a bit ridiculous, but then again everything else is.

I know nothing of Paradise War so I don't know these character unfortunately. But Tenchi, Shou, and Seina clean up the pirates without much effort.

Another thing I noticed is what's going on with Earth, and that the old man talking to Kasuhito was discussing about the state of Earth and the former wanting their technology. In short, Earth is not yet ready to be a part of the organization that is overlooking Earth. Earth needs a long time to work out their stuff before they're even a part of it, and there's only exceptions from two people Kasu discussed. The old man wanted his memories erased because he couldn't take it anymore. Being fair to me, that stuff wasn't really going anywhere, but it does show that Earth is too primitive in the eyes of more advanced civilizations. And that's a very very very long trial for Earth to become an advanced civilization provided its inhabitants don't eliminate themselves.

Shou has some like black hole ability on his guardian from what was shown.

Ironically, Jurai are former Earth humans who only got to where they are because Tsunami picked them up for her pet project so....

weren't they space spirates before ?

Yeah but IIRC the Masaki either came from Earth or colonized it. At any rate, House Masaki and Earth humans would be practically the same kind of people if their founder did not stumble upon Tsunami in Jurai's forests. Point is they have the same roots, same everything minus the technology and divine backing

[tsunade666]

They got their mini wedding on the latest episode. there are no big announcement and its a close wedding with only parents and closest relatives are invited but finally.

They are married

[Lexxus]

Wow. They finally got married!

Also, I know Yosho doesn't want to inherit the throne. Does it put Tenshi as first-inline to the throne? I wonder if we are getting to the point of it being officially.

Publicly it would still be Yosho. Privately it's a lot more complex. Because the rank in line for the throne is based on the generation of tree ship bonded to a person, Sasami would be first inline as she is not only bonded with the 0th generation ship she has fully assimilated with her so I believe she gave up claim on the throne. But she would also Defer to Tenchi who isn't bonded to any of the ships but is a being above her but now he's also married to her.

[Cosmic Eagle]

The whole marriage feels like a mere formality at this point lol

Well given that there is an infamous work that should take place right around the time they would have gotten back from the island with.high schooler Sasami that's likely correct.

Well we are set for the IF works to be done since 5 of the children are confirmed to have watched Kenshi final battle with the family.

[SILENTANIMELOVER]

The final episode is out now. We see how Kenshi was prepared for Geminar.

[kagato3]

Well the IF works are more or less confirmed to be canon now. The first set of babies are here with the second soon to follow.

[tsunade666]

With episode 6 out, this end the ova season 5 and connects the series to geminar but I want to know now what happens next in geminar. Its also nice to show the kids of Tenchi with Ryoko and Ayeka. Seina also had a kid with Kiriko.

[Lexxus]

I really hope they do another OVA after the war in geminar. Plus, a badly want to see the scene where Tenchi is announced as the crown prince.

I can't remember if Tenchi ever was announced as the crown prince. None of the future stories ever brought up that took up the claim. We do know all of the Earth based Masaki migrate to Juri by the time Tenchi's son (believed to be with Washu but not confirmed) is 14 or so as he ran away to earth's moon but the move doesn't happen for at least 20 or so years as it's clear Ryoki's kids graduated from an earth high school and they were still on earth when Noike's daughter (born around 2 years after the end of ova 5) got pregnant at a high school age.
