Maybe it is some kind of Excalibur: the key of the one who shall be king.
After all, Youshou was the heir apparent. And considering that the juraians
are strongly influenced by the space trees, Tenchi has (in a non-genealogic
view) a strong claim to be the next ruler.

This might explain the remark of Azusa at the end of OAV 13: "Tenchi!. Don't
you believe that I have given in completely!". If Aeka stays, the chances
she might join Tenchi are reasonably high, and then his claim to the throne
would be even stronger...
