Her main reason for coming to Earth, in OVA Episode 13 is that other than to see Yosho, and to check up on Ayeka and Sasami, was to ask Washu if she would assist Jurai by mass producing Ryoko
and Ryo-Ohki
for their defenses. However, Washu already knew about this reason and refused because, to Washu, not only would she not betray Tenchi's trust by accepting the offer, she also felt there should only be one Ryoko and Ryo-ohki.
