Plot
Thousands of years ago, a demon came to the planet of Earth. Its power was that of a 10.5 magnitude tsunami. It destroyed villages, killed civilians, and left disaster wherever it went. But just as the planet was about to fall, a warrior fell from the sky to oppose the savage beast. He slew the demon and sealed it away in a cave by striping it of its powers, 3 gems, onto his legendary sword: Tenchi, the blade of Heaven and Earth.

Thousands of years later, a young boy named Alex Calbone stumbles upon the cave and accidentally releases the demon, and although the demon isn't as dangerous as she seems, this young boy is about to discover a secret about his family's true heritage...and that's only the good news. The bad news: he has to deal with five (later six) alien girls who all have a love for one boy: Alex Calbone.

Protagonists
Alex Calbone (Unknown (Particularly New) Actor): Protagonist; a San Francisco teenager who, after accidentally releasing a thousand year old demon, becomes involved in a legacy of a planet he has never heard of. After Season 1, he is given a ring that would help activate his full power. His primary power, aside from the sword, is generating the Light Hawk Wings. He also has a small hatred for snow, as it is the season when his mother died. He is based off of Tenchi Masaki. A younger version is potrayed by CJ Adams.

Vixon Gaines (Jennifer Lawrence): A five-thousand year old space pirate who was classified on Earth as a demon. She was sealed away by the "Warrior of the Sky" and striped of her powers one-thousand years ago, until she was freed by Alex, and thus, she is the first girl that Tenchi meets. She has a monkey's tail on her bottom for unknown reason. She is also obsessed with Sake. She is based off of Ryoko Habuki, but her hairstyle resembles that of Rokyo Balta from ''Tenchi Muyo! GXP''. A younger version is portrayed by Willow Shields.

Selena Jurai (Victoria Justice): Shamaczar (Juraian language for "royal successor") of the planet Jurai. She left Jurai for Earth in search of her half-brother/fiancee Morgan. Debuting in episode 3, she first appeared as a mysterious person with a mask over her and a deep voice (similar to Gwen/Royal Pain from Sky High), but her true appearance is shown towards the end of episode 4, and her name is revealed in episode 6. Unlike the anime, she has a Spanish accent instead of a British accent. She is based off of Ayeka Masaki Jurai. A younger version is portrayed by Joey King.

Molly Jurai (Mackenzie Foy): Selena's mischievous younger sister who secretly accompanied Selena to Earth because she was lonely. She is an excellent cook and cooks most of the recipes in the house. In Season 1, it is hinted (confirmed one season later) that she merged with Sky (though she believes that she is simply Sky taking on Molly's appearance) and thus, when she grows up, she will look like Sky. She is based off of Sasami Masaki Jurai. A younger version is portrayed by Morgan McGarry

Beatrice Heligii (Jennifer Freeman): A bumbling, but highly intelligent, Galaxy Police Detective who crashes onto Earth. When Chang picks her up to take her back to base in Season 2, the 2 officers are quickly reassigned to Earth. She is based off of Mihoshi Kuramitsu.

Hilary Gaines (Marion Cotillard): A former Director of the Galaxy Police Academy who was imprisoned 1000 years ago by a student of hers. She is the mother/creator of Vicky, Fear, Souja, and Ryo-Ohki. She makes her debut in the finale of Season 1 and becomes a permanent cast member onwards. She once had a husband and child, but because the husband was from a prestigious family, he was forced to leave with his child. She also uses Alex as a guinea pig for her experiments. In season 5, she creates a underwater virtual reality hot spring for the girls and a virtual portal between the bathroom archdoors, allowing the girls to access the hot spring (the males are not allowed to access it). She likes to be called "Little Hilary", because of her youthful appearance. She is based off of Washu Habuki.

Chase Ming (Riyu Kosaka): Beatrice's hard-boiled partner. She hated her partner so much that when Fiona was presumably killed, Chase celebrated. Chase was called to Earth by Vicky and Selena (in an attempt to get rid of Beatrice) to pick up her partner, much to her dismay, but as she and Fiona return to base, they were quickly reassigned to Earth, so they sought refugee at Alex's house. She is based off of Kiyone Makibi.

Ryo-Ohki (Amandla Stenber): Vicky's spaceship/sister who also has a cabbit form. When destroyed, she reproduces into an egg that hatches into a cabbit. Despite belonging to Vixon and Hilary, she spends most of her time playing with Molly. In Season 2, she merges with a mass creation and gains a human form. Her cabbit dialogue is taken from the anime.

Major Characters

Beginning Arc (Season 1)
One-Thousand years ago, a demon came to Earth to cause havoc, but its tyranny would end at the hand of Morgan, the "Warrior of the Sky", who sealed the demon away and stripped it of its powers onto his sword: Tenchi, the "Blade of Heaven and Earth". Years later, Alex Calbone, a descendant of Morgan, manages to steal keys from his grandfather, Greg, and uses them to enter the cave to find the demon. He finds the sword and, originally believing it to be a "piece of junk" based on its appearance, accidentally opens the secret passage with the sword. The passage leads to the coffin where the ancient demon sleeps. But as Alex opens the coffin, the undead demon awakens and steals the Life gem from the sword. It then attacks Alex, but Alex escapes and seals the demon off. One week later, as Alex closes down a Pick'n Save store he works at, he is visited by a young woman named Vixon. Alex recognizes her eyes and realizes that she is the demon from the legend. Jack, Alex's boss, returns to pick up some stuff, but is killed by Vixon. Vikon then attempts to kill Alex, to take revenge on Morgan, but Alex activates the sword and cuts off Vixon's right arm, even though she produces a new one. Alex escapes and returns home, only to find that Vixon is waiting. Vixon demands the gems back, claiming that the "Shamaczar", a person far worse than her, is coming to kill her. Vixon claims that the Shamaczar is a royal family member of a powerful, yet corrupt, planet called Jurai. She also claims that the Shamaczar had bullied Vixon, who was a child drifter at the time, all the time. Alex only gives her Control gem, giving her access to her spaceship, Ryo-Ohki. All of a sudden, the Shamaczar arrives above the house and demands Vixon to surrender herself. Vixon summons Ryo-Ohki, takes Alex with her, and even takes Alex's house, but leaves Alex father, Richard, behind. The two attempt to escape, but are captured by the Shamaczar. Alex is arrested and imprisoned in a vine-cell under the Shamaczar's ship, Ryu-Oh, but Alex is soon freed by a mischievous young girl named Molly. Molly agrees to help if Alex steals the Shamaczar's mask for her. Alex fails to steal the mask, but manages to steal back the sword before he is chased by the Shamaczar's guardians, Azaka and Kamidake. Alex and Molly flee to the cells and find Vixon. Vixon attempts to retrieve her final gem (the Power gem), but is stopped by the Shamaczar and the guardians. Ryoko uses Molly, the Shamaczar's younger sister, as a shield, but the Shamaczar saves Molly and captures Vixon. Alex, however, activates the sword, frees Vixon, and captures the Shamaczar's guardains. The Shamaczar denies Vixon claims of Jurai's corruption and explains that Jurai is powerful, but also peaceful. The Shamaczar also claims to have been bullied by Vixon, who was "trouble from the start", as a child. Vixon escapes and attempts to crash Ryo-Ohki and Ryu-Oh onto Earth, destroying the ships and killing everybody on board both ships. Alex manages to stop her, saving himself, the aliens, and the guardians; but destroying the ships, destroying the Golden Gate Bridge as well, relocating Alex's house next to his grandfather's cabin, and stranding the royal family members. The next day, Vicky's acquires an egg from Ryo-Ohki's remain and falsely passes it on as her child with Alex, angering the Shamaczar (who is actually a girl), but the egg hatches into the cabbit form of Ryo-Ohki, who reproduced herself after her destruction. The Shamaczar later finds Alex practicing his swordsman skills he mysteriously acquired from the sword, but gets injured. When it starts to rain, Alex takes the Shamaczar to his's grandfather's shed. In the shed, the Shamaczar introduces herself as Princess Selena Jurai and explains that she came to Earth in search of her half-brother Morgan, whom she was arranged to marry (because it is not illegal for siblings to get married). When the rain stops, Alex takes Selena to a special tree in the woods behind his grandfather's house. Selena recognizes it as the tree from Morgan's ship and believes her brother is alive. The next day, at a bathing spa, Vixon and Selena argue about their love for Alex, to which Vixon summons a water monster to destroy Selena; however, because Vixon does not have the Power gem, she cannot control the monster, and so it goes on a rampage in San Francisco. Alex tries to stop the monster with his sword, but has no use, until the crashing arrival of a Galaxy Policewoman Beatrice Heligii destroys the monster. A few days later, the household, which now includes Beatrice, gets a surprising visit by an violent space pirate named Fear. Fear tries to take Alex's sword, but Greg intervenes and claims the sword, revealing himself as Morgan, the would-be "Crowned Prince of Jurai". Fear flees, but takes his self-proclaimed creation/servant, Vixon. Greg explains to Selena that if he had married Selena, there would be conflict to succession to the throne, beacuse Greg's Juraian blood is actually mixed with that of an Earthling. So he used Vixon's invasion as an excuse to why he left. Alex, discovering that he is also a member of the royal family, uses the sword to save the now mind-controlled Vicky, with the help of Selena, Molly, Beatrice, and Ryo-Ohki. Alex saves Vixon, but is presumably killed by Fear. Molly chants a prayer that allows her access to the power of Greg's space tree--a power that could save Tenchi. Vowing vengeance, the other girls infiltrate Fear's ship, Soja, but Selena gets captured, Vicky gets turned to stone, and Beatrice gets lost in the reverse zone. The latter, however, stumbles upon a woman trapped in ice crystals and frees her. The woman, Hilary Gaines, brings Vixon's astral body to the reverse world and frees her. Hilary also explains that she is the creator (and mother) and Vixon, Ryo-Ohki, Souja, and even Fear (who imprisoned his creator). Alex reawakens and meets Sky, Molly's spaceship in her human form. She gives her power to Alex and sends him onboard Souja to save Selena. Using the full extent of his power, Alex generates the Light Hawk Wings and defeats Fear, but not without Fear vowing to return. With Fear dead, Hilary and Beatrice are freed. Hilary meets Alex and the group returns home, with Hilary joining the extended family.

Family Arc (Season 2)
One week after the Beginning Arc, Alex is trying to get used to 5 girls in his house. Vixon continues to harass Alex and still argues with Selena over Alex's love. The house also starts to buy carrots for Ryo-Ohki. Alex returns Ryu-Oh to Selena and she asks Hilary (who wants to be known as Little Hilary) to build a unit to plant Ryu-Oh's seed. When Vixon sees Molly and Beatrice reading romance novels, she decides to try the methods from the novels to win Alex. Selena plants Ryu-Oh's seed on her ship. Ryo-Ohki tries to eat the seed, mistaking it for a carrot, but Selena stops her. Alex goes to Hilary's lab to get Hilary for breakfast, but Hilary kidnaps him and uses him for an experiment. She prepares to collect sperm samples, but is stopped at the last second by Beatrice. As Alex leaves, he bumps into Vixon, attempting to win his heart by passing herself on as a girl he never met. Selena also does the same thing. After learning that Vixon and Selena using loves books, Alex tells them that the books are too old, but Hilary comes in with a more recent novel and tries to win Alex's heart. Enraged, Vixon and Selena put their differences aside and plot to get rid of the other girls. Starting with Beatrice, they contact Beatrice's hard-boiled partner, Chase. Chase heads to Earth, much to her dismay, and picks up Beatrice to take her back to base. Later that night, Vixon ties up Selena and tries to win Alex on her own, but Selena breaks free and attacks Vixon. While distracted from the fight, however, Molly, having woken up from a nightmare, goes to sleep with Alex. All of a sudden, Beatrice and Chase crash into Alex's house, having been reassigned to work on Earth. As such, the household is forced to sleep on Selena's ship. The next day, Selena discovers that the seed to Ryu-Oh has sprouted. Days later, the family is asked to take care of Alex's newborn cousin, Cory; however, Cory appears to be a bigger burden than they thought. Fortunately, Hilary comes in to take care of the baby. When the parents arrive to take the baby home, Hilary tells Alex that she once a husband and child, but because the husband was from a prestigious family, he was forced to leave and take the baby with him. Alex feels guilty and thinks that he should've helped, but Hilary, believing he wants to have a baby with her, becomes happy, which angers Vixon and Selena. A week later, the family arrives at the bathing spa to relax, but are are forced to work on repaying the damages they previously caused (with the exception of Molly, Ryo-Ohki, Hilary, and "another person"). Later that night, the group is haunted by what appears to be a ghost. They chase it until they find that it was only Molly. But when they look into the lake, they discover that Molly's reflection is actually Sky. Molly explains that the real Molly died in an accident on the day Vixon attacked Jurai. Then Sky took her form to not scare away Selena. But when Molly falls asleep, Sky explains that Molly is indeed alive, but Sky merged with her body, meaning when Molly grows up, she will look like Sky. The next day, Vixon accidentally rips Alex's mother's favorite dress. Enraged, Alex announces his hatred for her, but Ryo-Ohki, who walked into the room, believed he was talking to her and ran off. She runs to her mother and she introduces her to her latest creation: Mass. Later that evening, while the group is watching TV, the Mass creation breaks free and begins creating chaos. Hilary explains to the girls that Mass was used for her creations, including Vixon and Ryo-Ohki. The Mass creature attacks Alex, but Ryo-Ohki stopped it and merged with its body, gaining a human form. Meanwhile, Dr. Clay comes to Earth in search of Hilary, under the orders of Land. Dr. Clay sends his robotic assistant Zero to carry out the deed. Zero captures Vixon, who was returning home with Sake, and takes on her appearance to fool the Calbones. However, while Zero and Hilary are taking a bath, Hilary discovers a mark on Zero's back--a mark that Vixon's doesn't have. Zero, on the other hand, starts to have feelings for Alex, having materialized Vixon's brain as well, and cannot bring herself to kill Alex, who was getting in his way. Hilary and Selena try to stop Zero, but she escapes. Alex, Selena, Beatrice, Hilary, and Chase go to rescue Vixon from Dr. Clay. Alex generates the Light Hawk Wings to defeat Dr. Clay and frees an enraged Vicky. Zero then betrays and captures Dr. Clay, turning him in to the Galaxy Police. Meanwhile, Land is plotting something with a mysterious person.

Kelly reveals that King Haorld will be coming. Meanwhile, Selena and Molly get a visit from their mother Fiona. Hours later, Emperor Harold arrives to take Selena and Molly, having chosen a fianceé for the former. The girls choose to stay with Alex, and so Harold allows them to stay if Alex can defeat Cato Ewax, the fianceé chosen for Selena. Before the duel can begin, however, Beatrice and Chase, having completed their assignment, crash into the ocean, washing away Cato and giving an automatic win to Alex, thus allowing the girls to stay on Earth. Before he and his wives leave, Harold tells Greg to take care of his daughters. However, as they leave, Harold warns Alex that this is "only the beginning."

Beatrice and Chase rent an apartment for themselves and try get part-time jobs, but constantly get fired due to Beatrice's clumsiness. One week later, Alex and Molly attend an annual carnival where the other girls have set up their own attraction booths: Vixon sets up a (invisible) fishing tank, Selena sets up a shooting gallery (with Vixon as the targets), Beatrice and Chase set up a fried noodle food stand, and Hilary sets up a real life haunted house. Vixon's booth is closed down for having giant fish, so she opens a space toad oil booth. Vixon's next booth is shut down as well, so she opens a shooting gallery (with Selena as the targets)--right next to Selena's. Beatrice and Chase's booth shuts down when they run out ingredients, so they open a cotton candy booth. Vixon and Selena get into an argument and end up destroying the carnival, but Molly enjoyed it. The next day, Hilary creates a robotic duplicate called Mecha-Hilary to help her with her creations. However, something goes wrong when Beatice's DNA gets mixed Mecha-Hilary's, causing Mecha-Hilary to have the brain of Beatrice. Mecha-Hilary starts creating trouble, like eating all the food and being extremely clumsy. Hilary self-destructs the body, but the head summons a spare body. Chase arrives and discovers the duplicate causing havoc. Chase tells Mecha-Hilary that Power Rangers is starting, and so Mecha-Hilary (and Beatrice) go to watch the show on TV. With Mecha-Hilary distracted, Hilary shuts down her robotic duplicate. A few weeks later, the family discovers that is it snowing. Alex, for some reason, feels unhappy during the snowfall, but can't seem to find out why. The next day, after having a dream, Alex wakes up and remembers something. He quickly rushed to the graveyard to visis his mother's grave. As he pays his respects, he is quickly joined by the rest of his family.

He quickly falls in love with Ryo-Ohki, but when returns, she recognizes him as Ken-Ohki. Ken-Ohki flees, but the girls chase him to the bounty hunter Sheeva. Sheeva tells the girls that she has kidnapped Alex and is holding his hostage on Venus. The family chases Sheeva to Venus, but Ryo-Ohki refuses to fire at Sheeva. Ken-Ohki also refuses to fire back, so the rivals agree to settle their differences on Venus.
