-Does Ryoko have a tail?
(Thanks for writing this up and posting it, Rob!)
No. We've had many opportunities to see Ryoko completely naked in various onsen (which roughly translates as "bath-house") scenes, and she doesn't have a tail in those. The tail appears to be part of the dress she wears when we see the tail.
At this point, many people say "But the tail moves..." Ryoko has some telekinetic abilities (most impressively demonstrated in OAV #6, "We Need Tenchi!"), so she can easily manipulate the "tail" that way.

-Ryoko and the Gems
Subject: Tenchi Series Question: Ryoko and the Gems... From: Michael Steve Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 00:21:17 GMT
After going through the Tenchi Muyo OAV, and now stepping through Universe again. I had come to the conclusion that the gems that played so much a part of Muyo, are also visibly (though never truly a part of that story arc) in Universe. This was in fact an interesting side relevation which brought to me a very interesting question.
In Muyo, Ryoko and/or the sword at any given time have three gems. Ryoko has a place for one gem on each wrist. Does anyone know (with a warning towards good taste...) where the third gem would have been located on Ryoko, since it is quite clear that she is one wrist short.
Silly, with a twist of intrigue. Anyone know?

It's only in the OAV series. There is no mention of the gems in any other continuity.
In her throat or neck, I believe. There's a flashback in one of the OAVs to when she was fighting Yosho, and IIRC he sticks his sword in through her throat and extracts the third gem.

I don't think it was ever explicitly stated, but I think you are correct. The neck seems like an obvious place, and that flashback scene with Yosho definately implied that the third gem was somewhere around that general area. Lower on her chest, near her heart would be another plausable location, but I think that right where her trachia is (assuming that Ryoko has a trachia) seems like the most likely place given all the evidence.

In the Shin Tenchi Muyo! Ryouki novel (which is part of the OVA continuity), the cover page show Ryoko with all three gems. She in full Goddess mode and the third gem is in her throat. Beautiful picture indeed.

One thing that always seems to confuse people is, "If there are only three gems, where did that gem on Ryouko's wrist come from that she had in the first OAV? and where did she get that gem that she used when they were fighting Kagato?" It might be wise to add a bit explaining that Ryouko can manufacture synthetic power gems by drawing on her life force; that's why she looked mummified when Tenchi entered her crypt, she was draining her life away to create the gems that would enable her to break free and go to him. She made two gems that way; one was destroyed in her fight with Tenchi (apparently synthetic gems are unstable and detonate if they aren't in contact with Ryouko's body). The other she disguised as a earring and kept for emergencies; the fight with Kagato qualified as an emergency in her eyes, clearly.
