  IMHO I thought the story was all seen in Mihoshi's eyes, EXCEPT the bit
 where Kiyone shouted she would kill Mihoshi, I thought the panning
 across space meant 'Elsewhere in the universe". As for Mihoshi's comment
 about "Her precious sacrifice" obviously Mihoshi though Kiyone was dead.
 Finally although it looked like no-one could have survived the explosion
 when she is shouting she would kill Mihoshi she is sitting amongst the
 wreckage. >>


What about when Souja blew up in the OAV series.  how did everyone survive
that. and when Ryoohki collided with Sasami's ship <not Tsunami>.   People
can live in the space in Tenchi Muyou universe <as what I've seen>, they
don't suffer from decompression or lack of oxygen in space,
