Ryoko DID NOT TRY AT ALL to kill Tenchi!! If she had been serious he
would have been deat within seconds. I mean she was flying along him
and taunting him while he ran away!

Ryoko was on the ship too, wasn`t she? So she obviously did NOT really
intend to kill everyone. She KNEW Aeka would have to do that.

Not really. That overplayed romantic scene that actually served
mainly comical purposes (remember what happened afterwards...)

Careless, yes. Irresponsible? No.

I think it doesn`t but it really is a matter of interpretation.

What the hell is irresponsible about that???

WHAT do you think suggests Ryoko is "mostly after sex" ??? She loves
Tenchi with every fibre of her being and of course she also wants to have
sex, so what`s so bad about it?
Actually Aeka wants the same, she`s just to stuck up to admit it.

Yeah, like throwing them around and stuff. IS there anything really
helpful Aeka does?

If you really think Ryoko tried to kill Taro, YOU should be shot!
She just didn`t KNOW how to do things properly. And AEKA was to one
who threw away Taro.

That one doesn`t have ANY meaning AT ALL since it is a story told by
Mihoshi and warped very badly.

What about Ryoko getting hurt badly two times while TRYING TO SAVE 
TENCHI ???

The point is, Zero`s emotions ARE thos of Ryoko. She only is a bit more
open about them. And afterwards they are merged. So yes, EVERYTHING Zero
does and says counts!


All of this clearly proves my point:

There is no future for Tenchi without Ryoko! Maybe Aeka too, but that`s
it.
