On a particular day full of tension at the Masaki house, everybody is waiting for that moment. They are waiting for their new family member who will be Nobuyuki and Rea's first child and Tenchi's brother.

A few years later -- The women lead by Seto and Washu, and the men aiming to stop the women, lead by Juraian emperor Azusa and including the "Seto inhibitor" Seina, gather to discuss Kenshi's development.

Even though he was still not used to being in space, Tenchi works with Shou and the others to contain and ship off the pirates, despite having his doubts. One day, "Miron Pham" and "Fuku" visit the Masaki family. Miron explains that the plan is to anchor Tabletop Island on earth. She further explains that with the "Paradise War" being concluded and the island having become a floating paradise, the conditions are finally met to invite the Masaki Family there. This would be an ideal place to train Kenshi. Both Tenchi and Washu are taken aback by Miron's casual words. With all sorts of thoughts on his mind, Tenchi accompanies Kenshi, Ryouko, Ayeka, and the others to Tabletop Island. There, Tenchi will be doing some soul searching...

While Tenchi and Seina thwart another attack on the island, Kenshi continues his training.

A few years after the previous episode, Kenshi continues his training against Minaho, Funaho, Misaki and Seto among them. That evening, a large gathering from the Juraian royal family, other royals, the Kuramitsu family and Seina's family meet with Tenchi and the girls to hear Tenchi's decision.

Kenshi’s training continues. He’s now able to defeat the girls on Banjo Island, but still cannot do it quick enough. He’s still no where near good enough to hold his own on Geminar. As such, Seina’s harem takes over the training to get Kenshi to the next level. Further, Tenchi’s harem also joins in the training, including a pregnant Ryoko.
