Washu takes back the gems from the body of B1 and is finally able to stabilize herself. It had no effect and she is unable to shrink herself down. She was apparently 10,000 kilometers tall and as she woke up, she changed her appearance to that of a child (albeit a giant child) to attempt to gain control of her faculty by regressing to the size of a human child. As the seal begins to deteriorate with time, Washu begins to wake up. Washu remains sealed for at least 100 million years. Why she did not release her is not revealed. Tsunami departs, leaving Washu sealed within the facility. The resulting battles are very devastating and the death-cry of B3 awakens a slumbering Tsunami who destroys the bioroids and rescues the gems. B3 escapes and meets a young boy while B1 and B2 are sent to kill her. The three bioroid clones were named B1 (appearing about 20 years old), B2 (appearing about 15 years old), and B3 (appearing about 10 years old). The civilization created three clones of Washu using bioroid technology, each one of them owning one of the three gems. It has been theorized that she allowed herself to be captured as part of her search to find the higher power. The gems are capable of creating Light Hawk Wings, the manifestation of a higher power in this dimension and are also capable of feeding power to the Royal Trees.Īt some point, Washu was captured by an ancient precursor civilization and was sealed within a facility the size of a planet (Washu was in her giant form). These gems have the same quality and power as the Royal Trees of the planet Jurai, which were created by her sister Tsunami. The purpose of Washu forgetting everything was so that she could relearn and thus try to prove the existence of a higher-level being, something impossible when she knew everything, thus this allowed her to think outside of the box. In order to solve the riddle of finding someone more powerful than them, Washu chose to seal her godly powers and consciousness into three gemstones and descend to the third dimension in order to analyze the mysteries of the multiverse. Washu is one of the Chousin three sister goddesses who created the multiverse, the other two being, Tsunami and Tokimi. As such, the red crab logo appears on much of her merchandise and miscellaneous apparel. For her, it's a red crab, because this is a food specialty of Osaka. Washu's hair is derived from a costume from Noh plays, intended to resemble the (usually black) legs and claws of a crab. When translated, Washū means "eagle-feather", and hakubi means "excellence". The name "Hakubi" was derived from the name of a train line, the Hakubi Line. The name "Washū" is an ancient one for Japan specifically, the region around Osaka.

In all three Tenchi series, Washu creates an inter-dimensional laboratory in the closet of the Masaki house, although her laboratory is a lot bigger in the OVA series than in both of the TV series. In all incarnations of the series, Washu has also shown to be somewhat prudent and is generally trickier to fool than Tenchi or the other girls, which makes it harder for her to fall into an enemy trap. Like the other characters, her character differs depending on the continuity, though she sometimes displays a number of innate powers which she rarely uses, preferring to solve problems with reason or technology. Washu Hakubi (白眉 鷲羽, Hakubi Washū), the greatest scientific genius in the universe, is a key character in the Tenchi Muyo! metaseries.
