More story! More love! More adventure!
X World Games is officially partnered with the iconic Japanese anime, Tenchi Muyo! We wanted to continue the story and highlight the nostalgic adventures of Tenchi Masaki, a character we all know and love. Let’s remember how Tenchi Masaki’s got his beginnings in the Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki universe and how he met the royal princess of planet Jurai, Ayeka Jurai.
We can’t get enough of the story and over our excitement to bring the characters into the X World.
The Story: Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki
The anime released in Japan in 1992, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki follows the adventures of seventeen-year-old Tenchi Masaki. Tenchi’s grandfather, Katsuhito Masaki, has been training Tenchi as a swordsman and a Shinto priest all his life at their shrine in the Okayama prefecture. Things take a drastic turn when Tenchi accidentally awakens Ryoko, a demon sealed within his family shrine hundreds of years ago, and is ferociously attacked! Luckily Tenchi manages to repel the demon’s attacks with his newfound sword, “Tenchi” and awaken his latent powers.
Following the release of this demon, Ayeka Jurai arrives on Earth with the sole goal of capturing Ryoko. It is later revealed that Ayeka Jurai is a royal princess and member of the Imperial Family of the planet Jurai. Ayeka is seeking Ryoko as she is responsible for the disappearance of her fiance hundreds of years ago back on planet Jurai. Ultimately this put the girls at odds with each other.
During Ayeka and Ryoko’s battle, Ayeka’s ship was completely destroyed. Leaving both Ayeka and Ryoko stranded on Earth. The two women move into Tenchi’s home, marking the beginning of Tenchi’s journey through the universe. Throughout the series, young Tenchi begins to learn more about his newfound powers, his ancient ancestry, and the devastating threats awaiting him, all while being romantically pursued by more and more alien women!
