I think it has been clearly established that Tenchi-ken is not Funaho-ki's key in
light of the fact that Azusa had it in his battle with Kagato and Ryoko YEARS before
Yosho was born and partnered with Funahi-ki.  So, what do we know?

------------------------------------------------

You haven't presented any evidence that Azusa had Tenchi-ken with him when he fought
Kagato.  The only "evidence" that we've seen from you so far is that Azusa had a master
key that Kagato wanted to get his hands on, and that Yosho had a master key
that Kagato wanted to get his hands on. 

If we operate under the assumption that Azusa's key was the key to his first generation
tree and that Yosho's key was the key to his first generation tree (and that neither
were directly from Tsunami), then we end up with the idea that Kagato was
trying to get his hands on two different items that had identical powers - with the
obvious exception that two of Ryoko's gems were embedded in the hilt of Tenchi-ken.


I don't see that there's any contradiction here with the idea that Tenchi-ken is Funaho's
key and that Azusa DID NOT have Tenchi-ken when he fought Kagato.

You're basically arguing using a hypothesis that you haven't actually proven.
