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 Mathurski 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 seven) alien girls who all have a love for one boy: Alex Mathurski.

Protagonists
Alex Mathurski (Unknown (Particularly New) Actor): Protagonist; a Texan 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. At the end of Season 2, he adopts Selena and Molly as his aunts and begins calling them "Aunt Selena" and "Aunt Molly", respectively. In Season 3, on his 18th birthday, he meets his fiancée and is forced to take on the mantle as the Shamaczar of Jurai.

Vicky 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 is also obsessed with Sake. Her original name was Ryoko, but was given the name Vicky by Alex (named after the villain of The Fairly OddParents) to differentiate from her Caucasian appearance. She is based off of Ryoko Habuki, but her hairstyle resembles that of Rokyo Balta from ''Tenchi Muyo! GXP''.

Selena Mathurski Jurai (Victoria Justice): The former Shamaczar (Juraian language for "royal successor") of the planet Jurai. She left Jurai for Earth in search of her half-brother/fiancée 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. At the end of Season 2, she gives up her position as Shamaczar to live as Alex's great half-aunt.

Molly Mathurski Jurai (Mackenzie Foy): Selena's mischievous younger sister who secretly accompanied Selena to Earth because she was lonely. In Season 1, it is hinted (confirmed one season later) that she merged with Sky. Like Selena, she is adopted by Alex to become his aunt.

Beatrice Grammy (Nicki Minaj): A bumbling, but highly intelligent, Galaxy Police detective who crashes onto Earth. When Chase picks her up to take her back to base in Season 2, the two officers are quickly reassigned to Earth.

Hilary Gaines (Marion Cotillard): A former Director of the Galaxy 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. She likes to be called "The Great Hilary", because of her fame. In Season 2, Hilary is revealed to be Water, the third of the Chousen sisters.

Chase Shiranui (Maggie Q): 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. Unlike the rest of the girls, she does not have any romantic feelings for Alex.

Dorothy McKenzie Jurai (Hailee Steinfeld): Alex's fiancée and Laura's adopted daughter.

Ryo-Ohki (Debi Derryberry): Vicky's spaceship/half-sister who also has a cabbit form. When destroyed, she reproduces into an egg that hatches into a cabbit. In Season 2, she merges with a mass creation and gains a human form.

Major Characters
Morgan (Pedro Pascal): The "Warrior of the Sky" and Selena's half-brother. Morgan was arranged to marry his sister, but because he was born to an Earth mother, he left to fight Vicky, never to return, because of conflict over successor to the throne of Jurai.


 * Greg Mathurski (Tobin Bell): Alex's grandfather and Morgan's elderly disguise. Because Juraians age slower than Earthlings, Morgan created as older version of himself to blend in with his age (as revealed in Season 2). On Earth, he works as a farmer.

Richard Mathurski (Josh Duhamel): Alex's widowed father. Although he is shown to be less-responsible than Alex, he truly does care for his son, and, after his wife died, began working harder to help support Alex. He is shown to be a Peeping Tom and tries to convince Tenchi to follow suit, but claims that peeping is how he met Alex's mother. Despite being male, Richard was married into the Mathurski family.

Azaka and Kamidake (Steve Blum and Matt K. Miller): Selena's guardians. They look like 2 logs and usually get around by hovering.

Kelly Jurai (Geena Davis): Morgan's mother and Harold's first wife who left Earth when she married Harold. She is aware that her son has an Earth disguise. She also likes to be called "Little Kelly".

Fiona Jurai (Felissa Rose): Selena and Molly's mother and Harold's second wife. She tends to treat her daughters like children at times (like when they first met after years apart).

Harold Jurai (Keanu Reeves): Morgan, Selena, and Molly's father and Emperor of Jurai. He is a severely strict, but kind Emperor of his planet.

Patricia (Unkown Actress): Richard's new fiancée.

Trish Mathurski (Mara Wilson): Alex's older maternal half-sister. Due to looking exactly alike, Trish would substitute in taking care of Alex for Jane when the latter became too ill to do it herself and eventually died.

Natalie Mathurski (Eliza Dushku): Alex's grandmother and chairwoman of the Galaxy Police, and well as the instructor of Beatrice and Chase. Due to her youthful appearance, she hates being called a "grandma", and assault anyone who deliberately insults her.

Doctor Clay (Unknown Actor): Season 2 Antagonist; a former colleague of Hilary who was expelled from the Galaxy Academy for his jealousy against Hilary (and his attempts to sabotage her).

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 of its powers onto his sword: Tenchi, the "Blade of Heaven and Earth". Years later, Alex Mathurski, 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 is at school during the night, he is visited by a young woman named Ryoko. Alex recognizes her hair and realizes that she is the demon from the legend. Jack, Ryoko then attempts to kill Alex, to take revenge on Morgan, but Alex activates the sword and cuts off Ryoko's right arm, even though she produces a new one. Alex escapes and returns home, only to find that Ryoko is waiting. Ryoko demands the gems back, claiming that the "Shamaczar", a person far worse than her, is coming to kill her. Ryoko explains that the Shamaczar is a royal family member of a powerful, yet corrupt, planet called Jurai. She also explains that the Shamaczar had bullied Ryoko, 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 Ryoko to surrender herself. Ryoko 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 Ryoko. Ryoko 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's saves Molly and captures Ryoko. Alex, however, activates the sword, frees Ryoko, and captures the Shamaczar's guardains. The Shamaczar denies Ryoko claims of Jurai's corruption and explains that Jurai is powerful, but also peaceful. The Shamaczar also claims to have been bullied by Ryoko, who was "trouble from the start", as a child. Ryoko 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, relocating Alex's house next to his grandfather's barn, and stranding the royal family members. Alex finds Molly and the Shamaczar, who is actually a girl, and gives them hospitality in his home. Ryoko also assumes the identity of Vicky. 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, but the egg hatches into the cabbit form of Ryo-Ohki, who reproduced herself after her destruction. The Shamaczar finds Alex practicing his skills he mysteriously acquired from the sword, but get 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, Vicky and Selena argue about their love for Alex, to which Vicky summons a water monster to destroy Selena; however, because Vicky does not have the Power gem, she cannot take control the monster, and so it goes on a rampage. Alex tries to stop the monster with Tenchi, but has no use, until the crashing arrival of a Galaxy Policewoman Beatrice Grammy. 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, Vicky. Greg explains to Selena that if he had married Selena, there would have been conflict to succession to the throne, because Greg's Juraian blood is actually mixed with that of an Earthling, so he used Vicky's attack 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 Vicky, 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 Vicky's astral body to the reverse world and frees her. Hilary also reveals that she is the creator (and mother) of Vicky, Ryo-Ohki, Soja, 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 Soja 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 family.

Season 2
One week after Season 1, Alex is trying to get used to 5 girls in his house. Vicky continues to harass Alex and still argues with Selena over Alex's love. The house also starts to buy and grow 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 Vicky sees Molly and Beatrice reading romance novels, she decides to try the methods from the novels to win Alex's affection. 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 Vicky, attempting to win his heart by passing herself on as a girl he never met. Selena also does the same thing. After learning that Vicky and Selena were 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, Vicky and Selena put their differences aside 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, Vicky ties up Selena and tries to win Alex on her own, but Selena breaks free and attacks Vicky. 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 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 Vicky 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 girls haunted by what appears to be a ghost. They chase 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 Vicky 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, Vicky 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 Vicky 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 Vicky, who was returning home with Sake, and takes on her appearance to fool the Mathurskis. However, while Zero and Hilary are taking a bath, Hilary discovers a mark on Zero's back--a mark that Vicky's doesn't have. Zero, on the other hand, starts to have feelings for Alex, having materialized Vicky'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 Vicky 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. Sometime later, while Beatrice and Chase are on an assignment in Japan, Alex and Greg get a visit from a woman. Greg recognizes her as his mother and sends Alex to finish his chores. Greg returns to his youthful form (which Kelly admits to have always be aware about) and talks with his mother, claiming he was going to return to Jurai after defeating Vicky, but met a girl and decided to stay on Earth. Kelly reveals that Emperor Harold will be coming. Meanwhile, Selena and Molly get a visit from their mother Fiona. Hours later, Emperor Harold arrives to take Selena and Molly home, having chosen a fiancée for the former. The girls choose to stay with Alex, and so Harold allows them to stay if Alex can defeat Seiryo Tennan, the fiancée chosen for Selena. Before the duel can begin, however, Beatrice and Chase, having completed their assignment, crash into the ocean, washing away Seiryo 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".

Season 3
A few months after Season 2, the Galaxy Police is attacked by a mysterious person simply known as Z. One rainy day on Earth, Alex visits his father, now living with his new fiancée, Patricia; on his way, passes by his school, now being reconstructed, and reminisces about how he met all the girls. Z sends a sinister message to Beatrice's family. On their way back to Alex's house, Alex asks his father how his mother died, and Harold hesitates in revealing the truth. Ryo-Ohki gets lost, but his found by Vicky, who also takes a bath with her. While visiting his wife's grave, Harold promises Greg to reveal the truth before the wedding. Vicky begins bonding with her sister, Ryo-Ohki. The next day, on Alex's 18th birthday, the house is visited by a young woman with a very similar appearance to his deceased mother; Alex believes her to be his mother, but Harold reveals that she is Alex's older half-sister, Trish. Trish explains that she has arrived to introduce Alex to his new fiancée (angering Vicky and Selena); due to Alex being the new Shamaczar of Jurai, Alex's marriage was arranged by Laura McKenzie Jurai, Selena's grandmother, the day Alex was born. All of a sudden, Natalie of the Galaxy Police, and Greg's wife, arrives and reveals that Alex's fiancée has disappeared. While working in the fields, Alex meets and befriends a young woman named Dorothy; when Alex introduces himself, Dorothy reveals that she is Alex's fiancée.
