A word used by the disciples of Kagura Bachi to finish off a statement. It is usually put at the end of a statement, and does not have anything to do with the content said before it. It has no official meaning.

Various pronunciations of Tenoi have come up, with the most commonly used being 'ten-oy', but 'ten-oh-ee' and 'ten-waa' are also accepted and used.

An unofficial definition of Tenoi was made up by Reddit user u/al_fletcher, consisting of the characters for "heavenly monarch, "天皇", and the characters for a rank or position, "位". This roughly translates to "the Emperor's rank", which could be seen as meaning peak.
"Man, Kagura Bachi was crazy good this week.

Tenoi"

The highest male singing voice. Usually plays the hero, the lover in opera or musical plays. They get all of the best pieces written for the male voice.

The countertenor has the normal range, speaking and singing, as a regular tenor, but is capable of singing in the contralto, mezzo-soprano, and, sometimes, even soprano ranges. They use falsetto, rather than their lower range, when singing.

The lyric tenor is the lighter, sweeter sounding, while the dramatic tenor has a stronger, richer, more heroic voice.
There's the Heldentenor, and he looks interested in the dramatic soprano, all decked out in her brass chestplate and horned helmet.

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.
