Summary:

Unlike its predecessor Tenchi Universe, the last Tenchi series is completely unrelated to the initial concept of Tenchi Muyo! and is different from the OVAs and first TV series. A couple of changes are that Tenchi and his grandfather are not related to Jurai’s royal family, and the secret behind the Masaki family in this series is to protect the Earth from evil as Planet Guardians. Many of the returning characters were also given completely different, exaggerated or simplified personalities that makes them different from the previous series. The series also features a drastically different style of humor than the previous series, with more surreal gags and situations, and a greater emphasis on physical comedy and exaggeration. To facilitate this, the cast was redesigned so their characters designs are much simpler, which allows for more fluid movement which lends itself better to this style of comedy. One final new change is that all the girls are introduced in the first episode as already living in the Masaki home and then a flashback in episode 7 shows how they all met Tenchi, rather than introducing them separately as shown in the previous series.
