Ryo-Ohki with Ken-Ohki
In the Tenchi Universe continuity, Ryo-Ohki is not a product of Washu and is not as powerful as her OVA counterpart. She is still the companion and spacecraft of space pirate Ryoko, though neither of them were sealed away or dormant. After Ryoko landed on Earth at Tenchi Masaki's home, Ryo-Ohki once again went into battle with Princess Ayeka's Ryu-Oh and crashed near the lake. Similar to the OVA, Ryo-Ohki regenerated as an egg and hatched into her cabbit form. Like in the OVAs, she is still extremely close to Princess Sasami and has a telepathic connection to Ryoko, though she doesn't possess a humanoid form.
Unlike the OVA, Ryo-Ohki is not the unique "cabbit." Her origin is not explained as a scientific experience, but rather as an animal species. We meet another cabbit named Ken-Ohki, who is the companion/spacecraft of bounty hunter Nagi, Ryoko's arch-nemesis. Ryo-Ohki and Ken-Ohki are smitten with each other which causes problems for their mistresses.
Almost all other aspects of Ryo-Ohki remain the same.
Trivia
- The movie, Tenchi Muyo! Daughter of Darkness. and the series, Ai Tenchi Muyo!, both have tenuous connections to Tenchi Universe, but are their own distinct continuities and Ryo-Ohki's depictions in each can be found in the Other Spin-offs tab.
- Unlike her OVA version this version has no human form and so no love interest to Tenchi . However it was hinted that she felt in love with Ken-Ohki
