1.	Akane (R 1/2)
2.	Sasami (Tenchi Muyo)
3.	Skuld (AMG)
4.	Tsunami (Tenchi Muyo)

	That's all for me.  I don't watch that many anime anyway.

	As for the Ryouga's umbrella question, it's another example of the
banished Arch Mage at work.  Disguised as a student watching the fight,
the Arch Mage creates a temporary gravitron field around the umbrella of
10G+, so while the umbrella is made out of terrestrial materials, its
weight is greatly enhanced.
