If you watch the Japanese version, it's a little less obvious that he came back because of Ryoko. The whole bit at the end is toned up in the English dub.

well even if it's less obvious, he sits down with her at the endthat is about as much of a hint as you can getand the fact that she is the only one who tenchi can remember when he is under that lady's spell.

I just visited the movie again after all those years. I spent lots of time in my teenage years watching this series, over and over again. Even if some of the fans do not agree how this series end, I think they did a marvelous job, it gets so emotional that I was nearly crying. So much memories, Ryoko, probably is my all-time favorite anime character, I just remember being so attached to her funny faces and angry comments, the ending of the film was perfect for me. I love this freakin series, Oh Ryoko

I think if the ending doesn't show that Tenchi chose Ryoko, the credits certainly do. I mean, there's a love song playing, and it shows various clips from Universe, mostly of Ryoko. First it shows how he met Ryoko, then her "dying" and eventually coming back to him. It also juxapositions this with Yosho meeting his wife. There is a scene with Ayeka in the creditsbut it's actually the scene of Tenchi leaving her to go back to earth. So yeah, I think that makes it pretty clear.
I kind of like the fact that the movie didn't beat you over the head with the fact he chose Ryoko. In some ways, it was even more romantic because of that. I liked how subtle it was. -

i agree with you..i think over 2 years ago me just wanted it to be known that a choice was a madenow i definitely do appreciate the subtlty of it all. i do like even more though that the current Tenchi Muyo still leaves his choice open.

I think an interesting point is when Aeka finds out Tenchi has gone off somewhere, and presumably she knows Ryoko is with him, she doesnt freak out or get jealous at all.
Its almost like shes made peace with the idea of Tenchi not choosing her after all. Or thats the way it seemed to me. I could be wrong -

no that definitely seems accurate. i mean she does realize she could never have Tenchi in the first place, since she is the next in line to be Queen of Jurai and Tenchi has no aspirations to be a king. It's good to know she has accepted the fact.
