Ok, that’s it. Someone I know personally has made me slightly angry by even suggesting that Mihoshi is the best girl for Tenchi. It has been a while since I watched the Universe series, but for the sake of this argument I booted up episode six because that is the most Kiyone centered and my personal favorite. I will try and recall the best reasons I had read back in the day promoting Tenchi x Kiyone. I must now rant about this and write out the age old reasons why Kiyone is superior.
Very sexy
Kiyone obviously has the best body out of all the Tenchi girls. Just look at that body. She has the most beautiful hair out of them all too. It’s long, straight and a dark shiny green matched with that orange headband is a great match. Kiyone is 23 and Tenchi is 17. Sure there is an age gap but Tenchi is pretty mature for his age being the next Juraian king and all. Also, I’m pretty sure every guy at that age fantasizes about having a relationship with an older woman with the desire of “learning” a few things. Kiyone is also the only female that looks most like Tenchi’s mother if that… adds any weight to the argument.
Kiyone might not have any special abilities to stay young forever or anything of the sort in general like Ryoko and Ayeka. She’ll eventually grow older, but I think Tenchi would be the kind of guy that would like to grow old with the one he loves and he would probably never remarry or anything like the other Jurai rulers. Also, Tenchi seems like he wants to live a normal life so why not get a normal wife who just happens to be an intergalactic police officer.
Kiyone has the most stable freaking personality of all the girls a side from Sasami who isn’t a part of this debate because Tenchi isn’t a pedo. Ryoko is a crazed freeloading psycho aggressive man woman, Ayeka is a spoiled bitch, Washu is a crazed mad scientist that would rather have Tenchi as a test subject and Mihoshi is a stupid ditz. Kiyone is the most normal character who is more concerned about normal things like paying the bills and doing her job. When she isn’t around Mihoshi who is causing her the most trouble, Kiyone is a pretty good natured young woman. She also NEVER causes trouble for Tenchi AT ALL.
We all freaking know that Kiyone secretly loves Tenchi but is obviously too shy or doesn’t want to get between the fighting of Ryoko and Ayeka so she just stays quiet. Hell, I would too if my competition was a space pirate and a princess.
Kiyone definitely doesn’t get enough love and before I found my niche of favorite bishoujo characters she was one of the first that I fell in love with with 13 years ago.
YAY KIYONE!

Kiyone for life
Though I don’t think she’s in love with Tenchi. Part of why I like her is because she really just focuses on her own life and has no time for love. I can relate to that. She was my first animu love ( ‘3′)~

wildarmsheero@ Yeah, that’s true but it always makes for a good fanfic or doujinshi to speculate that she does. I’m sure Kiyone gets ronery too.
She was my first animu love too!

Best for Tenchi? Don’t you mean best for ME? (She was my first animu love too)
Gotta love the way she’s not crazy. I also loved her fantasy about running away to a small fishing village at the edge of civilization.
Oh yeah, and she’s also the hottest. (I didn’t think I’d need to add that comment because it’s so obvious)

P.S. I can’t believe a man of such good taste is getting into traps…

Baka-Raptor@ But traps are hot, man. Especially shota traps.

Sorry, but even if Tenchi ended up with Ryoko, my OTP, in the TV series, I still insist that the OVA universe is the only universe that matters.
And in that Universe, Kiyone is the name given to Tenchi’s MOTHER.
When it comes down to it, Ryoko is the only one of the girls who will follow Tenchi to the ends of the Earth. And if that means becoming a simple farmer, so be it. No other girl is more dedicated and committed than she is.

Sasami is the best only because we get to see what she looks like all grow’d up in the form of Tsunami…. Aeka is #2, Kiyone would be 3, Ryoko is 4th and Mihoshi last… I’m right and everyone else is wrong … ;)

Vallen Chaos Valiant@ Yeah, the OVAs have the best universe even though I like Kiyone from Universe. I haven’t watched the new episodes of the OVAs yet. I should get around to that even though they are probably so horrible. Oh wait, I’ve been watching horrible anime all summer so far. Might as well watch it.
Pfft. Tenchi can have Ryoko then. I can have Kiyone all to myself.
voodoomage@ Well, I don’t quite agree but at least Mihoshi is at the end because she is the worst.

Baka-Raptor’s insane. :P
But add another to the list of people who think that Kiyone’s the best option. :P

Miiiiihooosshhiiiii! (´∀｀)
Seriously, though, Kiyone is too controlling. Not to mention, Mihoshi’s dark tanned skin + blond hair is totally hot. ;]
Stupid ditz 4TW!

Well as far as the “never aging” thing goes, I don’t really think that applies in Universe. At least they never said so explicitly.
I like Ryoko best for Tenchi because she’s clearly willing to lay down her life for him, if need be. In the OVA, it seems like all the other girls just stand around looking befuddled when Tenchi is in danger, but Ryoko tries to help. Ryoko pounced on Tenchi to get him away from Kagato, originally. Then on the Soja, Ryoko was weak and Kagato was giving off power that Ayeka’s guardians were shielding Ryoko from. She still tried to crawl forward to help Tenchi and then when she couldn’t, she begged for his life. Later he was in danger from the Mass, Ryoko was the first to try and get to him, teleporting but getting caught on Washu’s shield. As soon as she could get up though, she teleported to his side. In the final OVA, Tenchi is out fighting Z and Ryoko teleported out of the ship to fight with Tenchi. (Which admittedly wasn’t a good idea, Z was too much for her and Tenchi had to step in front of her to block her from getting hit, and got cut in half himself.) And even in Universe, Ryoko fought to get him to Juria despite her own injuries. She’s not just some crazed psycho, and I’m 100% sure her feelings run deeper for Tenchi than Kiyone’s do.

Yeah it’s fan speculation/made up dreaming situation kinda stuff.
We all know it’s Tenchi x Ryoko but a lot of us like some of the other characters in the show, and it doesn’t hurt to pose a what if kind of situation. It happens all the time in media like this. Same with books.
