If the plot isn't entirely derailed, by the end, Ryoko's going to end up being part-Robot on top of being part-Goddess/part-Masu. Being part-Dragon on top of that through a magical ceremony is par for the course of her DNA being played with like jump rope.
I can't wait to see her realize she can taste things now.
Yosho was planning on having Tenchi free her in like a week or two going by the given dates. So, not sure how he'll react. The early release is only an issue due to her statutes of limitations coming up a few hours after her planned release. Released early, there's going to be a good amount of time where she'll still be a wanted woman.
Ryoko's three gems are currently embedded into the Tenchi-Ken, which is the master key of Funaho. It's what has kept the seal on her body all these years. Normally, when a Royal Tree of Jurai is embedded into a planet's surface, it loses its power completely and its sapience, as the roots are normally tied directly to subspace. The master key being connected to Ryoko's gems has allowed Funaho to escape this fate, as the tree is now empowered directly by Ryoko's gems.
Ryoko doesn't need the true gems to function or perform most of her powers: Flight, Phasing, energy blasts, regeneration, strength, durability, etc. as she can create "false" gems that connect to subspace to empower her. She, however, does need the gems to use her strongest powers (Demon Summoning, Matter Possession, Light Hawk Wings, etc.) and to be able to summon Ryo-Ohki. One gem is enough to summon Ryo-Ohki and to summon demons... though she needs two gems to actually control said demons. Three gems would let her rival the power of First Generation Tree ships and summon Light Hawk Wings when her body has fully matured.

Ryoko now has Dragon Eyes that has seen TRUTH, so she ought to be able to see forest spirits like the nekomata.
Inevitable silliness for when Ryoko discovers she now has a sense of TASTE thanks to the Dragon Tongue.
Scene:
Ryoko: (imitating Kaolla Su from "Love Hina")
Ryoko:
"What's a lemon? Is it tasty?"Areru: (offers her a lemon)
Ryoko:
: "ACK!!! SO SOUR!!!"

I forgot he did this during a hurricane. That's how he planned to stop the magicians from hunting him down while he was unconscious. Unless they kept hurricane grade magic clothes actively on hand there is no way they could start searching the countryside until long after he's gone.
Prestidigitation remains the worlds most useful spell.

Nope
He cleaned it up before leaving. Was a concern I held also, just thought he had made defenses offscreen or something. Was waiting for someone to interrupt when Ryoko was getting her bearings or figuring out what happened. Glad they didn't though
I did debate leaving behind the blood.
I figured it would make for a good scene involving Evangeline sniffing the blood and telling Konoemon that it was dragon blood. Then the mages get to start freaking out about a living dragon in Japan before Evangeline would cut in and say 'Living dragon? Judging by the pictures? It's definitely a -dead- dragon. If it could fit into that cave? It couldn't afford to lose that much blood.'

I wonder if she still scans as Ryoko. Ryoko is likely going to stay at home with Areru so may not be detectable at all. She's not likely to go through a big obvious chase scene with Areru.
Areru doesn't know she was due to be released or even able to free herself. From his POV, she was imprisoned long ago and left for dead. He was preparing to wish her a brand new body. When he really started looking at her body though... it wasn't dead. More like long term stasis or slowly shutting down over decades.
In most ways, she wasn't kept prisoner in a civilized manner. She was being tortured during that time. Yosho didn't know she had that astral projection ability to get any relief from her prison.
Ryoko thought Areru was going to ask or want something from her. She doesn't understand him. She is his. He is going to do what he can to heal her up and let her live her best life possible. That it hurts a bit on his end? Just something that he'd need to suffer through.
Areru thought it was needed as she didn't look like she was going to be able to revive herself or free herself. She didn't sound that confident about it in her thoughts.
Areru cleaned up all the blood and material remains. What sort of magical remains marked the place? I could easily see that sort of ritual leaving some magical/spiritual marks that a simple physical cleaning spell isn't going to clean up. Nothing that could be used to ID him or what was done, but they'd know where it was and that some sort of ritual was done there.

Regardless of the magic now running in her body and the added draconic organs, Ryoko is still a half-masu lifeform that is drawing power from subspace and partly comprised of anti-matter. She also looks the same, and they have her photo on file.
Consider Ryu-Oh immediately could detect her light years away, and we know Yosho was entirely unaffected by the wards on Areru's home, it should immediately tag her.
And Ryoko also would know when that happened as well, as she was expecting Ayeka to find her after she was freed.
I'd argue that her astral projection power wasn't relief, but was the very source of her torture. She wasn't suppose to be conscious at all. Her mind was suppose to be in stasis just like her body was.
It's not like Yosho could have her moved to an off-world prison with Funaho being permanently grounded anyways. He was stranded for a few years before Airi came to Earth for him. Sealing her as he did was the only way to imprison her at the time.
Besides, if Ryoko was transitioned into Galaxy Police custody, Kagato would have just immediately broken her out, or she'd be executed for crimes she committed while mind controlled.

you apparently missed the part where he cleaned all that up before teleporting them home to take a shower

You know, I wonder if the gems becoming 'active' again were the reason Galaxy Patrol/Jurai being able to ping Ryoko. It would certainly make sense; they're significant and unique enough to have them be logged on like deep space scanner type of things. It might even end up that by doing this roundabout method, Areru managed to keep Ryoko hidden from those who would want her found.
At least for the time being....

Ryoko was detected by Ryu-Oh before she had any of her gems in the second episode.
Ryoko is asking Tenchi to give her the gems in the second episode with Ryu-Oh literally above their heads.
Now, maybe it picked up Ryoko's fake gems, but that distinction isn't made in the show, just that they found Ryoko.

There are plenty of reptiles that have more than just a cloaca. Snakes (and IIRC, squamates in general) have hemipenes, though given they are generally stored internally anything permanently *ahem* adorning the ends is probably even less of a 'good' idea than for humans.
Yeah, but there's immortal*, immortal** and immortal***, and though Ryoko was originally going to end up in the second category, Al is very much in the third. How will that change now that she's inherited at least some draconic traits and likely powers? I suspect the only way we'll find out is if/when one of them dies.
(*) Ascended/uplifted mortal scale: Doesn't die of old age, possibly ages very, very slowly, likely lasts a few to several thousands years, more than a little bit unlikely to live tens of thousands of years.
(**) Godly scale: Likely lives for thousands, if not tens of thousands of years, but I personally greatly doubt they often last hundreds of thousands of years
(***) Stellar scale: Lives for millions or even billions of years, much like the stars. Void dragons (IMHO) be on this scale unless they are actively killed off. Good luck with that.

For the very first time in her life, Ryoko knows, beyond any doubt, that there is someone that cares for her and is willing to go to amazingly extreme measures just to help and support her. Her entire universe just got picked up, turned over, vigorously shaken and then put down again.
Talk about a major paradigm shift! If anyone threatens or endanger Areru from now on, they'd best hope that Areru himself handles it, because Ryoko will neither hesitate nor show the least scrap of hesitation nor mercy.
💘
💘💘Al's always been awful about telling other people what he's going to do before he does it. On the one hand, that is a significant personal flaw, but on t'other hand, so far the people on the receiving end of his actually ludicrous generosity and self-sacrifice have been as thoroughly bowled over by his intentions as they have been shocked by the extreme levels of his actions.
On the gripping hand, some day that won't be true, and it's likely to be extremely ugly if and when it does happen, for a whole lot of folks. Al really should learn better before that happens. But he probably won't.
Old!TenchiCanon Ryoko was. New!PartlyDraconic Ryoko though? I guess we'll find out. And even if she is, how much does she resemble her old self now? Not all that much, I expect, and less and less so as she spends more time and grows into this new body and along it's assorted tangents.
We know nothing of the sort. Yosho could tell the house was there and that it was extensively, scarily warded, but we don't have any evidence as yet that any of the other wards have diminished effect on him except than the SEP-field ward itself. That would be a very unwise assumption to make on such limited evidence, and Yosho isn't fool enough to make that mistake, or he wouldn't have survived as long as he has, even with all of his privileges and benefits.

Considering Areru deals with magical creatures and he explicitly states
Makes it pretty clear that the ward(singular) only affects humans and Yosho is an alien.
Ayeka and Sasami have been on their way to Earth for a long, long time already. I don't think that Funaho sending out that S.O.S. made the Ryu-Oh hurry up any.
It certainly did help Ayeka make her decisions, as good or bad as they were, but I don't necessarily think that particular timescale has been altered. So we'll still be seeing them some time soon.
I can easily imagine the older two sisters demanding answers and Tokimi answering 'I found someone that brought something new to the table. Instead of repeating the same experiment with the same variables, I introduced something new. And he's already bringing results.'

It's been a while since I read that chapter and I'm not at all firing on all cylinders right now so it's entirely possible I am misremembering that detail.
That said, Al and Areru both know that there are sentient and sapient non-human intelligences in and around Japan at this point of time, so not setting a ward to include the possibility that a non-human may want to access the protected area for reasons of their own would be more than a bit of a bone-headed mistake for him/them.
But he does make them at times, as do even the most careful of folks, so it's far from an impossible oversight, just a bit of a surprising one.
Though I notice here that Areru is talking about wards, plural, so potentially there are others layered inside of the outer 'Somebody Else's Problem' ward as well.
Or maybe not, like I said, it would be a surprising mistake on his part, but not an unbelievable one.

Talking about the magic societies, I wonder how they will react and how the whole ritual looked from the outside. Because I would bet it was the closest thing to someone using a magical nuke on terms on the amount of power that went into it. I imagine a lot of people are panicking loudly.

To be fair, all of the non humans he's dealt with that weren't bound servants have also either been polite or been manageable, and either way not enough of an annoyance to need permanent wards to keep out of his house.

There is also the not insignificant factor that blanket blocking non-human entities would include the spirits that Areru has been helping out. Ostracizing an allied faction in the process makes doing that a poor choice. And barring specific types requires specific types being involved. Of which, so far, there seems to be only Youma who might be looking at Areru, in Watsonian perspective.
Don't forget True Immortality, aka there is zero way to kill them, body will just regenerate from literally nothing, their soul will also regrow from nothing, their mind is immutable, in short there is zero way to permanently kill them, you can seal them away but they will get out, you can kill their body for a bit via all the curses but they will eventually get passed that, typically True Immortals are True gods, aka they're infinite in power, scope, and scale (omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent) and can only be countered by beings of that level, but other then like one book series that I know of no one else uses true immortals or true gods.
