I just saw the first four eps of Ruronin Kenshin, a chunk of the Tenchi
 TV series, and Highlander recently and came up with this...
 What if Kenshin (or Yahiko or Kaworu) were immortal (a la Highlander)?
 And what if Yoshio was once a student of Kaworu (or Kaworu's
 father--yeah I know that would make it part of the OAV continuity
 but...)  Actually the whole Tenchi thing could be dropped and just have
 one (or more) of the Kenshin characters as immortals.  How would Kenshin
 have dealt with Kaworu's death while he stayed young?  How would Kaworu
 deal with having to kill to survive?  This would proabably end up being
 pretty dark.
 Anyone want to take it?

I've been playing with a crossover of RK and Highlander for a while.
However,....

::guilty look:: 

I was actually thinking of somehow working Amanda into it.  I have to check
out the time lines and stuff but I thought it would be sort of interesting to
NOT have Duncan Macleod running around but instead have a female immortal (if
not Amanda, someone else -- perhaps a Japanese one).  

I wasn't thinking of making of the regular RK crew an immortal (just yet!) but
one of them might be a potential immortal.  I need to check my Highlander FAQ
but can't immortals kind of tell who's going to become an immortal?

Actually, I had a scary thought.  What if Saitoh was an immortal.....  ^_^;

        I've only seen eight episodes of Ruroni Kenshin, but the Highlander
crossover discussion thread brought up this thought:

        How about a Kenshin/Xena crossover?  The basic premise of the two
shows is similar enough.
