Tenchi Muyo being made up as it went becomes really apparent when you consider Ryoko was retconned to having watched Tenchi grow up & fallen in love with him as an astral projection, then rewatch this.
A lot of reckless endangerment at minimum going on here.

And the scene works better if you assume she's at least okay with the possibility of killing him, even if she's not trying to very hard. It's better if they're strangers.
The sexual tension and the genuine danger together are what makes it so iconic. The retcon makes it worse.

This is why Tenchi Universe is the better version of the main story, despite not looking as good, and not having the atmosphere of this 1st episode (which is really unmatched in the franchise, imo).
It's more consistent and makes more sense.
