Introduction:
This is a faq for the Tenchi Muyo! RPG made by Banpresto. There are no faqs
available at the time of writing for this game so I decided to give it a try,
besides I love the anime. By the way this is not a translation but I have
included a bit character information for those curious. Knowledge of Japanese is
not required for the game. This faq is incomplete at this time. Feel free to e-
mail with any corrections or added info. I will update when possible. Enjoy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Playable Characters:
Tenchi: The guy with the black hair and funky brown oufit. Tenchi has been
trained in sword fighting by his grandfather since about the age of 3. His
weapon of choice is a wooden sword. Tenchi also has a problem not possible in
real life, he has too many girls in love with him. On top of that they live in
the same house as him with no gripes from his father and grandfather.
Ryoko: Blue-Grey haired girl in green and pink outfit. She is a quite powerful
space pirate or demon (depending on what version of the anime you favor). She is
one of the girls in love with Tenchi, and is the one who reveals her feelings
the most. She fights with a laser sword and various fireball attacks.
Ayeka: Purple haired girl in red and purple robes. She is a princess of Jurai
(another planet where Tenchi's grandpa was orginally from). She is also in love
with Tenchi and often fights with Ryoko for Tenchi's affections. She uses a whip
and Jurain power in battle.
Mihoshi: The blonde in pink and yellow. She is quite basically a ditz, but very
lovable. As you guessed it she also has a thing for Tenchi(she is not very
outspoken about it though). She is a member of the Galaxy Police and was
originally meant to apprehend Ryoko, but things didn't work out that way. She
fights using her Galaxy Police side arm.
Ryo-ohki: Little brown varment. Ryo-ohki is a cabbit (half cat and half rabbit).
Ryo-ohki can transform into Ryoko's spaceship, but seems closest to Sasami. Has
a big affinity for carrots.
Robot: A robot that appears after getting past Mihoshi's ship. I know nothing
about him, but in the game he moves slowly and doesn't attack that well.
Grandpa: Tenchi's grandfather. He is currently a Shinto priest who is skilled in
fighting techniques. He has trained Tenchi in sword use. Grandpa was once also a
prince of Jurai until he fled to Earth seeking peace and stuff.
Sasami: Little blue haired girl in green. She is Ayeka's little sister. She also
has a crush on Tenchi, but she knows she is too young, but has her dreams for
later in life. She gets kidnapped and joins your party shortly after entering
the spaceship.
Washu: Pink hair, seen as a "choosing icon" until later on in the spaceship. She
is the universe's greatest scientific genius. She had something to do with Ryoko
and Ryo-ohki's creation, but I am honestly not sure how. She shows up in the
spaceship later in the game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game Play similarities:
The game has a 3/4 perspective much like the Genesis game Landstalker. Battles
are carried out in Shining Force style, but in 3/4 perspective. Techniques are
gained when characters gain experience much like Chronotrigger.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battles:
Before each battle you choose which characters will make up your fighting party.
You have four available slots to choose you characters, and fill up all four
when the chance is given.
When it your character's turn to fight, their picture will appear and a black
flashing block will appear under them. Press "choose" and a menu with three
commands will appear
1st command=when first selected you choose where you want your character to move
to (any of the visible squares, none of the black). Once your character has
moved to a spot suitable for attack select this command again to choose
technique to be used and which enemy to target. The first number for a technique
is the range and the second is the number of green dots used.
2nd command=Cancel. Press if you want to change where you movied to.
3rd command=Wait. Select before moving to just not use your turn, select after
moving if no technique can be used. Useful if you want to wait for the enemy to
approach within striking distance.
Powerup: It replaces the third command and moves Wait down to fourth on the
list. It becomes available for certain characters when all 8 green circles
become filled. Tenchi and Ryoko wear the same outfits as seen in the anime.
Sasami changes into Pretty Sammy and Washu changes into a Nurse with a very big
needle.
Be sure to act fairly quickly or more enemies will appear.

Walkthrough
Section I.
The game begins in the Mazaki household (Tenchi's home). The group is sitting
and standing around aruing as usual. Sasami gets upset and leaves with Ryo-ohki.
The room turns funky colors and monsters are discovered in the household. You
can use Tenchi, Ryoko, Ayeka, and Mihoshi for this battle. Sometimes the
monsters get two turns before it is your turn again. They can also attack from 2
squares away.
After the battle a mysterious green haired girl threatens the party and
apparently has kidnapped Sasami. You fight her and similar monsters as last
time. Hit the girl once and the battle will end. She will disappear along with
Sasami.
From here you can choose from 3 different places to go to.
Carrot Garden: You run into a possesed Ryo-ohki with four giant carrots. Kill
the four carrots and the battle will end. They will often die with one attack.
Be careful they can hit you from 3 squares away. Ryo-ohki will join the party
after this battle.
Mihoshi's Spaceship: Mihoshi runs off after seeing her space ship. She is
kidnapped and you must fight to save her. Sorry, no Mihoshi for this battle. The
tree stumps provide obstacles. At the end of the battle you gain back Mihoshi
and also her robot partner thing.
Waterfront: You see Tenchi's grandpa with some monsters and of course fight. The
dragon looking guys have some major range and you can't use your own projectile
attacks against them.
Swamp: You see some enemies, go kill them. No new characters gained.
Waterfall: Funny scene with Ryoko and Ayeka starting out. Battle starts out with
two of the first guys you ran into and two birds. While the birds attack they
try running away. No fancy stuff here either.
Bridge past Waterfall: Red and grey birds, Tenchi and Ryoko's destroy everything
around them attacks very effective.
Entrance to Spaceship: Swamp looking area. Two robot looking animals and two red
robots.
Spaceship: Starts with finding Sasami tied up by two blue robots. And of course
you fight. Two robo animals and two blue robots starting out. Sasami is rescued
at the end and she joins.
Section II. Inside the Spaceship.
Spaceship "A": Two little pink robots and two big green ones. Again Tenchi can
get in and take out both pink robots with one spin slash. Let Ryoko charge up
and do her Level Four to take out both green robots.
Top blue square area: Flirting with Tenchi by Ryoko and Mihoshi take place
before the battle. Two red and two blue robots come and interrupt.
Left grey area: Four green robots. One good Ryoko Level Four can take all four
out.
Upper right crate area: You enter into a room with a bunch of crates. Washu
teleports in and talks to the group. She will join here before the battle. Two
scorpion robots and two gunnery bots show up.
Upper left light blue area: Run into mean green haired chick. Ayeka and Ryoko
are all set to tear her apart too. It turns into a green haired chick vs. Ryoko
one on one fight. One Level Four will take her out. I like this attack can't you
tell? Greenie runs away into the next room followed by Ryoko. Blue haired guy
arrives in his machine and Washu comes in. Ryoko receives a lightning bolt to
the noggin from Blue. Ryoko disappears and Tenchi spazzes. Washu apparently
pisses Blue off and she gets into her usual cocky self. Time to pick people for
battle again then and no Ryoko.
