: I want to thank you Eugene on your answer on Ryouko's tail and that
:it can be found in TM 101. I also want to thank you on way you answered my
:question. Its good to meet a person who can give an answer without make the
:other person who asked the quesion feel small.
No problemo (although I have a history of being harsher on those
who are more full of themselves than others). ^_^;
: I loved the answer I got from Kim Justice. The one about Ryouko
:being part MASS and this may give her shape shifting powers thus she could
:grow the tail. I would like to ask Kim about the dress, could Ryouko do an
:Odo from Deep Space 9 and shift into the dress and tail at the same time?
I'll take a stab at this one. Kim, where are you? ^_-
The thing with Odo to remember is that, as a shapeshifter, what
looks like his clothes is actually part of his fluid body solidified
into a form resembling clothes. If Ryouko can transform parts of
her body into other forms, are Ryouko's clothes actually part of her
MASS-like body?
Recall that Ryouko lost her hand *twice*: once to Tenchi in OVA 1,
and once to Youshou in OVA 5. It's at least clear that she can
regenerate any missing body part (except probably the head!) almost
instantly. But was she "designed" as a humanoid with regenerative
abilities of MASS? Or is she basically a blob like Odo, able to
alter her physical shape at will, humanoid or non?
: To me this may explain what happened during Kagato's attack. When
:Ryouko was nude, jumps behind a tree one second and then the next comes out
:in battle gear.
The 101 Facts mention that Ryouko keeps her clothes on spaceship
Ryoohki. So maybe she can use her teleportation powers to change
clothes instantly? If you take the shapeshifter approach, then her
clothes are actually a part of her (thus no unnecessary teleporting
that wastes precious seconds in the heat of battle).
