Well, Nobuyuki is descended from Yosho over several generations;
how much of Nobuyuki (and hence Tenchi) is Juraian depends on just
*how* many generations--and whether the lines recombined upstream
from Nobuyuki. None of which we know. Also complicating the
picture is whether Achika's mother counted Yosho as one of her
ancestors (hey, this *is* a guy who was originally betrothed to
his own half-sister...), which is unlikely but also unknown.
Yosho came to Earth 700 years ago; Nobuyuki could conceivably
be some 30 generations removed from him. Nobuyuki is probably
only a fraction of a percent Juraian (if we assume 10 generations
and no crossing of the lines, Nobuyuki is about 0.1% Juraian), so
basically Tenchi is an eighth Juraian, since his Juraian heritage
from Nobuyuki is close to nil.

Subject: [FFML] [FFML][spam]A Tenchi question
My first mail to the list in a while and it's spam... <sigh>
Just a stray thought that came to mind on the bus: _exactly_ how much of
Tenchi is Juraian? Don't start emailing me saying that he's eighth
Juraian because he's not. Going by what's said on the Tenchi
Encyclopedia DVD (is that truly canon by the way?), it answers the
question why Nobiyuki and Yosho look so much alike:
And sound even more alike... ;-) (they have the same seiyuu)
Nobiyuki is one of
Yosho's descendants.
I know it sounds like I'm nitpicking but I can actually use this in a
fic.
