I generally like what I see. I love a crossover where all the parts are made to mesh neatly.
On that subject of meshing: You may need to resolve where the Zentradi have been that they weren't crossing paths and butting heads with the Jurai/GU faction. Or if they were interacting with that faction, what happened and how have things been resolved?
On Earth, if the BRPD is a UN group who funds the SCP and do they actually have any legal authority that is recognized by governments or agencies?
Some issues to be considered as you move forward:As Sailor Moon is central to this story, is Sailor Galaxia a force to be reckoned with in the galaxy at large? I've been told that she travels sublight and so wouldn't pop up very often, but I don't know if that is canon. She might also be something that the Juraian's get called upon to keep at bay with their ships that have light-hawk wings.
Are Senshi of various planets a known thing out in the Galaxy at large? If so, what kind of relationships do they form with the planetary and interstellar governments?
Are Ali and Ann a thing in your universe and if so, is the Doomtree related to the Royal Trees of Jurai in some way?
This one always comes up, but it comes up for a reason. What sort of relations did the old Moon Kingdom have with the Galactic Union, Jurai, and other interstellar powers that are old enough to have been around at the same time? Is it remembered and if so, what kind of reputation does it have?
How does magic in general (or specific types of magic associated with Earth or Senshi) relate to and interact with psychic abilities (which are a thing in Tenchi Muyo, along with summoning and binding spirits).
Edit - I saw Beldandy mentioned on a skim of the thread. This leads to the question of how OMG Kami-Sama and the Yggdrasil system relate to D3 and the other dimensional overseers who report to Tokimi.
I don't know if you want any more crossover elements in an already-crowded story but here are some possibilities I've played with in the past:Outlanders - The Santovasku Empire, which utilizes a combination of bio-tech and sorcery, are descendants of the Moon Kingdom who made it out of the solar system when it fell. Now they are back on something of a crusade to find and reclaim their Holy Homeworld.Darkstalkers - Having the supernatural be around but mostly out of sight is easy. Whether Pyron is out there destroying planets is the issue. Possibly another reason for people to line up behind Jurai and it's tree-ships of phenomenal-cosmic-power.
Follow up: If the Oni are a thing in this, presumably so are the other Urusei Yatsura characters. That includes Oyuki, the current princess of Neptune, which leads to questions of her relation to the royal house of Neptune from Moon Kingdom times and the reactions of the current Neptunian court to Michiru if they become aware of each other. Also, the possibility of life on other planets of the solar system.
Tangent: Most of the aliens in Urusei Yatsura are based on supernatural creatures of Japanese legend. Are some of the supernatural beings of Earth actually aliens or their descendants?
“The Japanese have known me by many names, child. Amaterasu. Yatagarasu. Tengu. Each one of them is an aspect of what I am. But make no mistake about it. I am indeed a God...”
Edit: I forgot, we already have supernatural-aliens from the Sailor Moon side of this. More along those lines, the Tengu themed princess Kurama from Urusei Yatsura is looking for a mate to continue her people. With Zeke's luck and connections, it seems like she's destined to cross his path down the line.

Canonically, the last three are from the same world.

Not quite sure how to swing the Demons and Nidhog in this case. Bob? Got any ideas?

There is also the fact there are defined and undefined infinities. My suggestion? Make this universe a boundary one between the infinities of the Tenchi, AMG, and TSAB multiverses (think Ven diagram, but in a hypercube (hypersphere?)). The reset of the Tenchi OVA universe, bugs in Yggdrasil, and possibly the dimensional dislocation of the Jewel Seed incident caused a merger of the defined infinities of the three multiverses. Outside the fact the Gods are unsettled by how settled they are, nobody else will notice. To everyone else, it has ALWAYS been this way. It will also mean there are greater than 10D beings around, which will make the vast majority of Gods (those 10D beings) nervous. I very much doubt Raven will play his games around certain individuals.

Bob Schroeck wrote:Not quite sure how to swing the Demons and Nidhog in this case. Bob? Got any ideas?Well, for DW, I define the difference between a god and a demon as hinging on whether or not they believe lower-dimensionals have any kind of value. This isn't a moral thing -- there are evil gods who value their worshipers from 4D spacetimes, and ostensibly good "demons" who think that 4D types aren't "real" people, any more than the characters in a book are. You might want to work with something like that, perhaps making them essentially griefers, using their own supercomputer to vandalize and undermine "smaller" universes, perhaps by hacking Yggdrasil, or by trying to corrupt/rot enough of a universe that the gods can't undo it, basically for the lulz.

I very much doubt Raven will play his games around certain individuals.Another possibility is to have the Choushin and the Megami both be 10D beings - but the 10D be different subsets of the 12+D of the multiverse. They can only interact in forms that use dimensions that both groups can access, such as our 4D universe or analogues thereof.This would explain why the Choushin thought that looking for a more powerful being then themselves wasn't a fool's errand. It would also explain why the Megami deferred to a superior, if they had actually found an 11D being to serve. And, if BA prefers Raven to be more powerful than the Choushin or the Megami, Raven could be an 11+D being.

To paraphrase: A golden-haired little girl sang happily, looking down into the project She'd just finished. One of the boys wandered over, and She held it out proudly for him to see. "Look at my butterflies!" She said. Indeed, the terrarium was populated by tiny, short-lived creatures, flitting around and doing their own thing. "Laaaame..." He complained, poking at it to make them react. He dropped in an altogether different sort of bug, and watched it catch and pull the wings off of one of the colorful little ones with much more interest. "See, now it's much cooler!""Meanie! Get away from my butterflies!" She yelled, kicking the boy in the shin. "Now how am I supposed to get that out without breaking everything?"Note, it's now fifteen years since I read these, so this is apt to be a very loose rendition. https://allthetropes.orain.org/wiki/Slayers_TrilogyI'm not saying this is any kind of bad thing, just that it's an example to either intentionally reference or to intentionally avoid making a reference to. I think that as a framing device it works fairly well, in fact.

So, basically Hild is in charge of the Demons simply because she knows that if she isn't then they are going to mess things up so badly that, in fine griefer fashion, it's going to mess things up for them as well. Thoughts?
