Rejected Tenchi Muyo! Timelines

As you know by now, Tenchi Muyo has several timelines (OAV, TV, Pretty Sammy, etc.); but, some just did not make the cut. So here is a list of suggested Tenchi Muyo timelines that just didn't make it to production. Enjoy!!!



TENCHI MU-"YO!"
This alternative version takes place in Hollywood's favorite economically disadvantaged community, South Central L.A.. Instead of being sealed in a cave, Ryoko has been locked in the trunk of a junked car for fifty years. Other characters include Mimi Hoshi, a good cop who saves the hero from a nasty beating at the hands of the Galaxy Police, and in place of Kagato, Rapmaster Kozmik K, leader of the West Betelgeuse Crips, and his ship "Sister" Soujah.

Jim Henson's TENCHI BABIES
Aw! It's cute baby Tenchi, baby Aeka, and baby Ryoko, as they scamper and play at the Masaki Day-Care Center. Chibi Washuu-chan, the 2-year-old scientific prodigy, is always creating mischevious inventions using parts from her toys. Ryoko-chan and Aeka-chan fight over Tenchi until they get so mad they wet themselves! When the urge for adventure strikes, they fly away in Ryo-oh-ki, who can transform in a flying playpen.

Quentin Tarentino's TENCHI MUYO!
Meet Tenchi, 16-year-old hit man for the Masaki gang. Aeka and Ryoko, his main babes, are always fighting over who gets to hold his gun. Other characters include Mihoshi, a cop on the take, and Sasami, the child prostitute with a heart of gold. Washuu creates designer narcotics and Ryo-oh-ki tranforms into a Ford Mustang.

ROCK ON! TENCHI!
Meet Tenchi, lead guitar and vocals for Tenchi and the Juraians, the bitchinest rock band this side of Tokyo! Drummer Ryoko and keyboardist Aeka are always trying to get Tenchi backstage! If that isn't bad enough, Kiyone and Mihoshi are the two clumsiest roadies in the history of rock. Sound engineer Washuu manages to blow out at least one speaker at each gig, and Ryo-oh-ki transforms into their bus.

TENCHI HENTAI!
Who will win Tenchi's love, as well as his virginity? Will it be Aeka, the S&M dominatrix with a good heart and a long whip? Or will it be Ryoko, the incredibly horny, four-breasted, alien hermaphrodite? Or perhaps Sasami, the impish lolita? Or maybe Ryo-oh-ki, who can transform into an inflatable doll? Meanwhile, Washuu-chan invents a never-ending series of high-tech sex toys.

THE TENCHISTONES
Tenchi discovers Ryoko in a cave... the one he lives in! Yes, Tenchi lives in the stone age with all his friends! Washuu-chan invents fascinating devices like "fire" and "the club", and Ryo-oh-ki, their pet half-mastadon/half-rabbit, can transform into a wheel.

TENCHI DETECTIVE AGENCY
If there's a mystery to solve, Tenchi will solve it! With the help of millionaire Aeka and ex-convict Ryoko, they have the resources and know-how to solve any case! Feed Ryo-oh-ki Doo a Ryo-oh-ki Snack and she transforms into the Mystery Mobile.

MOBILE SUIT TENCHI

RYOUKO AND AYEKA
After Ryouko blows away a guy molesting Ayeka in a parking lot, the pair goes on a harrowing cross-Japan road trip on the run from the law. On the way, they gain deep insights into life, the universe, and each other. The story ends when it belatedly occurs to the girls that either one of them could take on the entire Japanese SDF without breaking a sweat.

VAMPIRE PRINCESS SASAMI
Sasami's vampire blood awakens on her 713th birthday, and she begins speaking entirely in cryptic poetic allusions. Ryo-Ohki dons a mask and accompanies her as her mysterious guardian.
