Reply-To: tenchi@gold.win.jp ML-Count: 105781 Precedence: bulk Off-topic, but I really have to question that assumption that Ryoko could have beaten Kagato. She couldn't or didn't bother beat Kagato for 4300 years, 700 years prior. I always figured that Kagato overrode her Masu with his will (Masu follow strongest will as explained OAV2) like when he turned her into stone during that battle. She only reverted back with Washu's help in the dreamworld(her even stronger will). Another example of this is when Ryoko merging with stone and becoming giant Ryoko. She grabbed Kagato in her hand but when she tried anything, she simply fell apart (again, I assume an override of wills with the Masu). I always wondered on Washu's assumption on Ryoko being able to defeat Kagato - because even Washu was surprised during battle with Kagato's tech - more specifically the gems he developed for the Souja, which, according to him, could pull far more power than Ryoko's gem. Of course, not everybody is complety honest or infallible :) > And she doesn't really need the remaining two.
