On the Soja Tenchi was cut off from the Tsuanmi's power thus the Master Key was useless to him. If he was cut off from Tsunami he would have been cut off from Funaho also. In ep 13 Yosho referred to Funaho as if the tree was still his tree. All of this points to the idea that Yosho is still bound to Funaho and the Tenchiken is the key to Tsunami. Must of this is what is supported by what others in #WASHU#, #SAS#, and the RFFC were able to find out when this was debated before. ========================================= I'll add my $.02 here: I thought the Tenchiken was a master controller for all of Tsunami's descendents, but not the Genesis Tree herself. Why would Yosho be in possession of the key that would control Tsunami -- if such a key existed, wouldn't it be in Azusa's possession? As the Crown Prince, I can see where Yosho would have authority over Tsunami's arborial offspring -- but it would seem to me that Azusa would reserve the highest-level functionality for himself. ------------------------------------------ Good points. I'm of the opinion myself that there would be no key that would work on Tsunami. Why would she allow such a thing to exist in the first place? It might allow the unscrupulous to have more influence over her than she was comfortable with. And even if Funaho-tree is permanently rooted, its key is still useful. Since Funaho is a first generation tree, its key will work on all 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation trees regardless of Funaho's own status. At any rate, even without a key, Kagato was still able to compel Tsunami once he started draining power from Ryoko's gems. junior -- _______________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10
