OVA 4 Info Thread

Yeah, that's her boyfriend.

Since Tennyo has a boyfriend, Airi is likely too eager for Tennyo and her boyfriend to get marry.   If Tennyo's boyfriend is a member of the Masaki Family, he should be a descendant of the branch where Funaho is from.  Yet, Tennyo's boyfriend can still come from the branch where Nobuyuki is from.

From the first two OVA 4 episodes which I have seen, it seems that Tenchi and Tennyo are the only two children of Nobuyuki and Kiyone.  Episode two had pointed  out that Kiyone had hated the ideal of traveling to Earth sometime after  she married Nobuyki.  Kiyone had met Nobuyuki when the two were at the Galaxy Police Academy. 

Now, I want to speculate that Katsuhito/Yosho has another wife who is still living.  In order to help him to keep his disguise, it would be reasonable for Katsuhito to get remarried sometime after the death of his first wife Kasumi.  Katsuhito could still  have married a Masaki widow to help him maintain his disguise.  The ideal of Katsuhito having a second wife who is still living will cause Katsuhito to have an occasional headache esp. during one of Airi's visits to Earth.  As of OVA 4's time, Katsuhito has only two known wives Kasumi and Airi.

I am eager to watch the raw version of OVA 4's episode 3 as well as the translated one.  From the image in Ryo-Okay's topic, Rea is serving Tennyo first as part of the Masaki family customs.  By the time of War of Geminar, Tenchi is going to have a brother-in-law and is an Uncle.

Was the episode due for this month? I think I've misread.

Yup, this month.  It's set for May 31st.  It seems to be a "final day of the month" pattern, because the first two episodes also came out on the last day of the month.  Likewise, episode 4 is set for August 31st.

Does Tennyo's love interest(boyfriend) have a name?

[WarOmnimon]

Countdown image detected.  Man your battle stations.  The hype is REAL.

I doubt that Tenchi grandpa has another wife. There seems to be no mention of it or any indication of it.  As for Tennyo's love interest name i have no freaking clue! I never knew he existed! Are we sure they are going out or are they just currently dancing around the issue of potentially becoming a couple?  Also, if Aria is determined to marry ANYBODY off, it would be her daughter Minaho! It's made pretty clear throughout episode 1 and 2 that her parents and her family are not happy about the fact that she is not married yet.  Personally, i wouldn't be shocked if Minaho decided to claim Tenchi for herself.  It sounds unlikely but it could happen! Yosho himself married his maternal aunt after all.

"Seina you? ... .... No way, is that Miki !?"
   　Hiroshi ran to the NB and looked at it fairly. Like a rough engraved sculpture, it was not as great as identifying anyone, but Hiroshi sensed the atmosphere of Miki there.
   "I will explain"
   　A man who was with Tennyo ran from Tsukiko 's aft passage running while wearing a dust - free cloth for research.
   "I am sorry, I was late."
   　And the man who grew that stubble grasped Hiroshi 's hand gladly.
   "Nice to meet you, me, Masaki Hakuryou. I am deeply moved to meet the architects of Astral AI."

Thanks for that, Fap. (Comma placement is important.)

Imagine our surprise at the time when it was pointed out that Tennyo had been first revealed in that doujin before her appearance in OVA 3. Those were the days...

Oh, and a contemporaneous translation of the page indicated that they weren't shacked up yet. I've forgotten who was hesitant.

Oh shit, I found it!

i was on 2ch yesterday looking through their archives of tenchi posts. it seems gxp the novels is more or less following the outline version that kajishima handed them. and nebeshin looked at it and said basically there's no way i can make this commercially viable without massive edits there's too much going on here for 26 episodes. and he wanted to make it more of a comedy and an agreement was reached so he could do the show his way and kajishima could release it properly as novels. hence why all this stuff is in the gxp doujins and why all of gxp the anime has most the things in the books still stealthily implied as happening... nabeshin just cut out whatever he bloody well wanted to and cut out most of the dual! related parts rendering the story rather... confusing. all so he could inject himself into the show... also things were cut in attempts to minimize ova 3 spoilers... hell the end of gxp makes 0 sense with nabeshins cuts. in the novels the conflict with the gp military and the rest of the gp is brought up right around where episode 10 of the anime starts...  in the anime it just comes from no where gets no explaination...
