This is mostly a question for anyone who has read the novels (which IIRC 
prominently feature Azusa, Misaki, and Funaho): what combat abilities do 
they have? I presume as the head of the royal bodyguard that Misaki is no 
slouch, but are there specifics detailed anywhere? Does she have the 
ability to create a forcefield like Aeka does, for instance? 

And (now entering the realm of speculation) would Sasami (in either of the 
TV series) be able to do so once she got older? Or are these powers unique 
to the individual? The only mention of this that I've seen is in the 
manga, where Yakage (seeing Aeka protect Tenchi with her field) recognizes 
it as "the forcefield inherited only by Jurai's imperial family" (my 
wording may be off there).



Hasheen!
