Hiya,

After watching all thirteen OAVs, I'm still left confused by everything.

Anyway, I need names...proper or accepted spelling.  Most on the characters
of the second series.  Plus, if you could tell me what the hell was going on
in the last four episodes, it's a great help.  Also some questions...

1. Are Lady Funaro and Misaki both from Earth?

Funaho is originally from earth, but Misaki is Juraian. I believe they
share a space tree, so both of them are effectively immortal like all
Jurian royalty.

2. There are four gems, right? Three on Ryoko (well, two were still on the
master key) and the last on Ryo-ohki, right?

Three were originally with the master key, and Ryouko aparently had one of
her own while imprisoned, which makes four. Ryouko's gem was destroyed,
reducing the number to three. Tenchi donated one to her, so Ryouko has
one, and the master key has two. The gem on Ryo-oh-ki's forehead may be of
the same type, or it may just be a manefestation of the fact that she is
half descended from a mineral organism. 

3. Who is Lady Tokimi anyway?

Tokimi, we are to assume, is the third sister in a triumvarate of god-like
beings consisting of Tsunami, Washuu, and Tokimi. Tsunami chose to have
her children (the space trees) join with humans to form the royal family
of Jurai. Washuu chose? to lose her memories and live among the sentients
of the galaxy as a scientist. Tokimi is somewhat of an enigma, but most
likely she is still doing whatever it was the three of them did before
they separated.

4. The name of Yosho's space tree?  What's his other/earth name?

Yosho's space tree is named after his mother, Funaho. His name on earth is
Katsuhito, i think, but don't hold me to that.

Keener, you really should make a FAQ on TM.

Oh, of course these data are relevant to the Tenchi Muyo! fanfic I'm writing
for my eventful return into fanficdom.  Any help that you can extend please
do so privately.

Thanks in advance

Hope this helped!
