Is it stated somewhere, (like in Tenchi 101), that Tenchi was actually blown
apart? I know it's hard to tell because of the bushes in the way, but I
didn't think he was ripped apart.  Also, maybe in Tenchi 101, does it say
that there is more than one master key.  In the series the tenchi-ken is
referred to as THE Master Key, yet in a lot of posts there seems to be a lot
of debate about this.  It does still bother me that Kagato referred to the
tenchi-ken as the "King's property".  This seems to infer that this master
key is one of a kind.
