Mystery Moon ~ F.A.Q.

In the Sailormoon universe, there are several mysteries that tend to cause confusion (And sometimes arguments) among "Moonies" everywhere. This page has been designed to clear these mysteries up.

1. Chibiusa or Kousagi, which sister is older?

OY! Now this one is definitely THE most annoying of all the Sailormoon rumors out there!

Okay, for those who have not yet seen a translated version of the Parallel comic, lemme explain.

The manga "Parallel Sailor Moon," was written in 1999. (Hence where it says "July 1999") Most fans stop right here and automatically assume that the story takes place during that year and that because Chibiusa can time travel and that by some bizzaro chance makes her the younger sister.
NO NO NO! WRONG WRONG WRONG! BAD BAD BAD!!!
The story first of all does NOT take place in 1999; it takes place about 15 years after Sailor Stars. Remember, Usagi was pregnant at her wedding to Mamoru WITH CHIBIUSA at the end of that series, hence Chibiusa being in grade 9 in the Parallel story. The Chibiusa you see in the story is in fact, the one Usagi gives birth to, NOT the 30th century broad we grew to love in the rest of the series. And, in an effort to ease confusion, Naoko did write in the lil' intro boxes the following:

Tsukino Chibiusa
Grade 9
Eldest daughter of the Tsukino house

Tsukino Kousagi
Grade 3
Second daughter of the Tsukino house

So contrary to popular fiction, Chibiusa is NOT a temporary character, Kousagi will NOT be born first and then die later leaving only Usagi and her court to remember the quadruple Odango tot, Chibiusa is in fact Kousagi's older sister. Now please get a life.

2. Seiya is Kousagi or Chibiusa's father?

Okay, this started as an honest mistake. Somebody posted on a website that since Usagi had a fling with Seiya that Seiya is the father of one or both of the heirs. Lemme point out one tiny lil' thing:

It is clearly stated in both the anime and in the manga that Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten are GIRLS who dress up as guys who dress up as girls. NOT the other way around.

Also, Usagi only had a "fling" in the anime. NOT the manga. Yes, she was kissed by Seiya, (Not by choice though!) but she stayed true to Mamoru and waited for him to return from the dead, again. (Not that she knew he was dead again to begin with, but who's counting?) And even if there was a chance for Seiya and Usagi, there would be NO WAY for Seiya to physically father any child, due to the fact that he's a she. A more believable rumor would be if Prince Diamond had fathered Chibiusa (See Diamond kidnapping Sailor Moon in both anime and manga versions of Sailormoon R.), but unless he has time-released sperm, that's not likely either.

3. Hotaru and Chibiusa are lovers?

No. Although Hotaru's "affections" can easily be translated into a lesbian sort of way, (Even before being re-raised by Haruka and Michiru) for the most part, they are just best friends. The Japanese culture usually allows for girls ages 10-16 to go through a "experimental" phase, in which they crush on both guys and girls. Some outgrow this phase while others may remain either bi or gay. However, the Parallel story albeit short, does give a little more freedom to the possibility of something more between the 2 friends, due to Helios being absent from mention, but it's pretty much set in stone that one day, Chibiusa will meet again with Helios, and the two will most likely live happily ever after. (Sorry Hotaru/Rini love site fans!)

4. Queen Nehellenia and Queen Serenity are sisters?

No. Although they are both Queens of the moon,(Serenity the Queen of the White Moon, the other bitch Queen of the Black) there is NO BLOOD between them. Nehellenia is actually one of several incarnations of a villain known as Chaos. Other "sister" incarnations from Chaos include Queen Metallia, Wiseman, and Master Pharaoh 90. (And no, you don't wanna know what happened to Master Pharaohs 1-89, it's pretty ugly.)

5. Chibiusa and Kousagi CAN'T be related to Usagi or Mamoru 'cause of the eye/hair thing?

Okay, this one is alot of fun to answer! ^_^ While researching Naoko's artbooks, I stumbled upon a fact: Ikuko (Usagi's Earth mother) has pink hair and red eyes!!! It's true! I pulled the following from images borrowed from scans of the original artbooks for the following images, proving once and for all that these ARE Usagi's kids and that Mamoru IS the father:

And let's not forget that originally, Usagi was meant to have pink hair too.

And see, Parallel Chibiusa wears his image on a keychain:

And did we forget that in the StarS saga, (anime and manga) that when Mamoru bit it, Chibiusa faded away? I.e. INTO NON EXISTENCE!! Poor kid.

6. So who's the rightful heir to the throne of Crystal Tokyo? Chibiusa or Kousagi?

Well, if we do our math correctly, Chibiusa will one day take to the throne in her mother's stead, with Helios most likely as Prince consort, and Kousagi as either duchess or as a princess still, if her sister allows. However, if Chibiusa abdicates the throne, or dies heirless, then that would leave Kousagi as Queen. Another possibility would be for the sisters to share the royal crown, or follow in there early manga mother's footsteps and just leave it alone to begin with.

7. That pink cat of Kousagi's either comes from the future or is Luna or Diana's kid?

Before I answer this one, lemme point out that according to the Sailor Stars manga, Luna and Artemis come from the planet Mau. Why the hell Queen Serenity would travel umpteen-baggillion miles for a pair of talking cats is beyond me, but that is where they come from. Now, nowhere does it ever state that ANY character in the Parallel story is from the future, (Although given that the cat literally landed on Kousagi, seemingly from the sky, I don't fault the author of this rumor...) and even though the cat does bare a resemblance to all 3 of the other cats, and talking cats are scarce to begin with, it is most likely that the cats on Mau are incredibly tuned to when a Moon Princess needs a talking cat guardian who can eventually turn human, and probably sent the nameless pink cat to Earth, the way that Luna and Artemis might have come.

Personally, I'm allergic to most cats, so I would usually prefer a puppy dog, but Diana's okay. And maybe Artemis if he can keep his eyes in his head. (Pervert!)

8. Usagi can only have one daughter?

A big fat steamy NO!!! Remember, the Amazons and Sailor Pluto acknowledged that the only one kid theory was in fact A THEORY. Nothing more, nothing less. While she was Guardian of the Time Door, Sailor Pluto only gave herself access to 30th century Tokyo and perhaps our normal timeline as well, so she could not see into alternate realities or into the future that Usagi was building herself, separate from the 30th century version. Remember, as Sailor Venus made mention of in Sailormoon graphic novel #11, nothing is set in stone, the future can change if you're not careful. So yes, it is possible for both girls to exist, and since Naoko thought the Parallel story was good enough to reprint in Sailormoon Short Stories Vol.2 (available at sasuga.com), then the characters involved, including Kousagi are in fact, real to the story and do indeed exist.

9. Peruru, Chibi Chibi and Kousagi are Helios and Chibiusa's kids?

I actually saw this on a Spanish site. I can almost see it......... but no.

Peruru is NOT related to any of the "main" characters and this includes Helios. Peruru does have brothers, but that's all the relations the fairy kid gets. (Pretty sad if you watch the movie.) And as for the other two...Kousagi and Chibi Chibi are NOT Helios, OR Chibiusa's children either. I'll explain Chibi Chibi in the Who is Chibi Chibi page., and Kousagi is of course, Chibiusa's little sister.

10. So what about Sailors Sun and Earth, where are they?

Actually, you've seen them in the anime and manga. Drum roll please.....

They are Tuxedo Mask!!

I'll explain. Y'see, Naoko once explained in an interview that Mamoru counts as both "Sailors", which makes total sense when you realize that
(a.) The Golden Kingdom (his) was Earth's answer to the Moon Kingdom
(b.) All of the Senshi's astrological signs correspond to their planets (Mamoru's a Leo, and is ruled by the sun)
(c.) This also explains his connection to Earth and the ability he has for feeling out when it's been damaged by the enemy in the manga.

So with Mamoru it's TWO TWO! TWO SENSHI FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!!!!

11. So what about Princess Serenity's dad? Where is he?

Hmm. I have personally scoured all of the Sailormoon graphic novels, and watched all the episodes about the Silver Millennium era...and have come up with nadda. In fact, until Serenity meets Endymion, and until Chibiusa finds Helios, the only other male we see in all of the flashbacks is Artemi-Artemimu-Artemi-mu-mu...EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!

Okay, Okay. No more clowning around, I'll debunk myself. No. Although he has HUGE hands when he's human, and looks a hell of a lot better than Tuxedo Mask, Artemis did NOT father Princess Serenity. If he did, that would make Diana Usagi's little sister. AND I'VE HAD IT WITH DEBUNKING "WHO'S THE OLDER SISTER MYTHS!!!"

Actually, Princess Serenity/Serena was never given a father, so perhaps the Queen could reproduce asexually? Maybe she prayed to the Gods, and wound up creating a child from clay ALA Wonder Woman? Or maybe something happened to the original King? We may never know...

12. Chibiusa and Kousagi are half sisters?

No. I don't know where this came from, but lemme assure you, Kousagi is Rini's full sister. Usagi and Mamoru ARE BOTH of their biological AND emotional parents.

13. Chibiusa’s only visiting and is only playing big sister?

NO NO NO WRONG WRONG WRONG BAD BAD BAD SHAME ON YOU!!!

This rumor was started by someone who refuses to read the original works by Naoko, in favor of fan-made doujinshi. (Fanfics)

Like I said, the Chibiusa you see in the Parallel manga is the one USAGI GAVE BIRTH TO, and she is not to be confused with the 30th century kid we see in the anime. No matter how you slice it, and no matter which Chibiusa you go by,
Chibiusa/Rini IS ALWAYS AND FOREVER KOUSAGI'S OLDER SISTER!!!!

Now read a book.

14. Kousagi is a parallel version of Rini?

Clever, but nu-uh. Although they share the same name, blood type (O if you're interested) , and the same birthday (June 30^th), the two girls are entirely different people. I assure you that although it's a little obvious that 30^th Century Chibiusa was around at the same time that her Parallel counterpart was conceived (Sailor StarS manga if you'd like to know.) , the paradox of two Chibiusa's in the same timeline does NOT carry over into this story. Kousagi and Chibiusa are not one and the same, they are just two cute sisters.

15. Lethe and Mnemosyne are sisters or lovers?
Okay, I think I made a small boo-boo with the Senshi page. In the Materials Collection artbook, it's stated that Lethe and Mnemosyne are twins, but it the manga, they appear as um ... lovers. They don't last long enough for an explanation in the series, but yes...they are twins. It's easy to get this mixed up, as they only mention each other as "beloved," so whether you take that in the literal or the metaphorical sense, in the end, they love each other ... lover-sister or not.

16. Sailor Mars has multiple personalities/career options?
In the manga, Rei is an only child. Rei's mother died, and her father is a politician, who rarely sees his daughter. The two share a very strained and distant relationship, since he was not there when her mother was sick. This was addressed in the manga, and in one episode of the live-action series, but not in the anime, except for the character book. Rei was then sent to live with her grandfather, shortly before she began school, at around age 4 or 5

Many have asked what her dreams are. Unlike the other Senshi, her desires change between the anime and manga...

In the manga, Rei wishes to become Priestess to the shrine her grandfather owns. At first, she hates men, after suffering a nasty heartbreak at the hands of her father's assistant, Mr. Kaido, but later Rei marries an unseen Shinto Priest in the Parallel manga. They have one daughter, Rei Jr.

In the anime however, Rei is a boy-crazy teen priestess, whose dream changes each season. Her more prevalent dream is to become a songwriter, and on rare occasions an idol like Minako, but in SuperS she also dreams of becoming a businesswoman and marrying a rich man.

As for her living arrangements, she originally lives with her grandfather, Phobos and Deimos.

TOEI animation however, thought her to be too lonely and too much of a recluse, and thus they took the liberty of adding a whole load of crap that shouldn't have been there.

They shrunk her grandfather from 5'8 to 3'0, erased his hair, gave him wrinkles and had him appear as a rip-off of any elderly character of Rumiko Takahashi's works. They also made him a terrible leach, even having him leer after men in one episode. (Though young girls are his favorite snack.)

In one episode of Sailormoon StarS, she has a mentally challenged cousin named Kenko Ibuki, who sculpts for a living, but hates all of his own work. This one baffles me, as her parents are ONLY CHILDREN and did NOT originally have ANY siblings.

Yuuchirou (Or Chad for the U.S.) was a rich boy who wanted to be a star. He debuted half-awake at Rei's door in the first season, but bowed out by StarS. The anime often teased a relationship between the two, but never did they finish the already botched storyline.

In the first season, she even dated Mamoru! She was dropped the day they discovered that Usagi was the Moon Princess however, leaving many a Mars fan in tears as she was utterly ignored by her "comrades," but in the manga, the only woman Mamoru ever saw was Usagi. In fact, Sailor Mars didn't even start liking him as a future king, until well into SailormoonR.

Ultimately though, one truth prevails over the whole series, both anime and manga. Her ultimate goal and sworn duty, is to protect the Moon Princesses, as Sailor Mars.

17. So if 30th Century Chibiusa is 903 years old by the end of the manga, then why doesn't she look all wrinkly?
As explained in the manga, those who gain access to the Silver Crystal gain a lifespan of around 1000 years. At some point in their lives, their bodies will stop aging, and will retain a youthful appearance for the remainder of their lifespan. In the 30th Century, when Usagi was 22, she gave birth to Chibiusa, became Neo-Queen Serenity and then stopped aging. Chibiusa stopped growing when she was 6 years old, and her body did not begin to age again, until after her powers manifested.

Though not fully explored, it is often assumed that since her powers did not have a chance to awaken prior to her becoming Black/Wicked Lady, that this was the cause of her stunted growth. But after she became Sailor Chibi (Mini) Moon, Chibiusa's body began aging in wild spurts, until Sailormoon StarS, when her body age was that of a 13-14 year old. (Ironically, the same age Sailor V was when she found Artemis.) Each of Chibiusa's actions however, allowed for Parallel Chibiusa and Kousagi to age normally, supposedly until they are fully grown.

18. So why is the Parallel universe so much different from the 30th century one?
Good question. I could be a bitch and say "Hellooo~ooo! Parallel Universe?", but then I'd hate myself tomorrow morning, as there's much more to this than meets the eye.

Remember, 30th Century Chibiusa changed much of the timeline continuity just by visiting the past. By showing the Senshi what was to become them, she was able to help them alter the choices they made along the way. For example, if you'll recall, Usagi never really wanted to take the throne. That's why when she was first given the chance in the manga, she instead chose to continue being Sailor Moon on Earth, at Mamoru's side. Through Chibiusa and Chibi Chibi, she saw what could happen, if she ever gave up the fight as Sailor Moon or made the "wrong" choices. At the end of StarS, Usagi chose to have herself and the others "live as they are". Each little step, every little glance at the future that could be, allowed all of the Senshi to make all the many choices that led up to the Parallel manga. And aside from her visits easing away the tension between the Inner and Outer Senshi, 30th Century Chibiusa in her own tiny ways, brought her parents closer together, faster, hence her Parallel counterpart being older than the 30th century version. And since Usagi and Mamoru had become closer, and had shared their feelings for one another sooner, this made their relationship stronger, and thus made it easier for Kousagi to be born. All of 30th Century Chibiusa's efforts, led to a more peaceful future for her kingdom, and a happier existence for the Inner Senshi, since instead of living out their days as guards for Neo-Queen Serenity, they can now live peaceful lives as housewives, mothers and Sailor Senshi, alongside Sailor Moon.

19. Diana and the pink cat are the same character?
Okay, where did THAT come from?? Hell no! In the Parallel manga, Diana is seen on the first page with her mother and father. She is quite visibly older than her anime counterpart and is smooth and gray... The pink cat is a very young kitten, with bright flipping polka dots. POLKA DOTS for crying out loud, since when would Diana have polka dots??

In the handful of colored manga pictures that I've seen of Diana, she appears either lavender or gray, and is very smooth. In the only colored picture of the pink cat that I've seen, she appears purple, but throughout her manga stay, she is described as "Dental Candy Pink" ... and again has polka dots ... magical changing polka dots at that!! Also, when in human form, Diana has lavender hair, done up in four little Odango on either side of her head, wears a little skimpy outfit, and retains her tail. The pink one has very large cat ears, two heart shaped Odango like Chibi Chibi, wears heart shaped earrings, a smile and not much else ... and is STILL polka doted!

Furthermore, if indeed they were the same cat, then Kousagi and he others would have already known her name, since we already know that Usagi and/or Chibiusa still have their freaking' cats! The very fact that the Parallel Inners did NOT already know this cat, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the two are NOT the same. But for those whom may still be scratching their heads, then let the following picture serve you as a reminder:

20. So ~! Does Kousagi's cat even have a name?
Currently, no. Not once throughout the Parallel Sailormoon manga is there even a hint at a name for the curious kitten. Many fans assume her name is "Pink Head", due to the panel in which Kousagi screams "Your head is pink?!", but that was more or less a statement, not a nickname. Another theory was that her name was Pink Cat, but that's more of a description than a name.
Other names that I've heard are:

Nadeshiko Neko (Pink Cat in Japanese.)

Pinku Neko (Again, Pink Cat)

Pinku(no) Neko (Wow, Pink Cat.)

Tsuki (Japanese for Moon.)

The good looking rose (Google translated name)

Good Looking One Cat (I hate AltaVista sometimes.)

Sweet/Sugar cat (derived from Chibiusa's Pink Sugar Heart Attack ability)

Pink Kitty

Moon Kitty (derived from the crescent moon bald spot on her head)

Kousagi's cat/Kousagi's Moonkitty (Yes, that is one word.)

Parallel Kitty/Parallel cat

Eyaaaaaaaa~aaaa it's a cat! A pink cu-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!! (derived from a statement from Kousagi)

Talking Cat Talking Cat Talking Cat (Well, I don't need to explain this one.)

Nuclear Sugar Pink Freak Cat ('Cause that's not normal.)

Pink Moon Kitty (Really now.)

Moon Pink Kitty (I was unaware that that was a color.)

Candy (A nickname from the popular Moon Princesses website)

And Kawaii (Japanese for cute, also used with Chibi Chibi.)

To this day, there does not appear to be a name, as Naoko has yet to produce one. Perhaps someday if she so chooses, she may return to the Parallel Universe, and grace us with more of Kousagi ... and subsequently a name for that damned cat.

21. Seiya believes herself a man?
Only in the anime. Taiki and Yaten have no problems with viewing themselves as what they are... GIRLS.



But Seiya begins to suffer from mild shock near the end of the season, and she starts to believe her own disguise. The poor thing goes through quite a bit in the anime, for instance:

She is shot by Tin Nyanko in one episode.

Almost killed numerous times by Galaxia and her minions.

Then she is heartbroken when she realizes that Usagi only wants Mamoru and NOT Seiya.

Belittled by Taiki and Yaten, of the No Help commission.

Heartbroken again when after all that work in finding their beloved Princess Kakyuu, Kakyuu is killed in cold blood.

And Seiya becomes heartbroken yet AGAIN when she learns that even though Mamoru's dead
(until episode 200) ... Usagi STILL chooses Mamoru over her ... c'mon now, think about this. When a really cute chick would rather sleep with a dead guy than to be seen ANYWHERE with you ... ... ... ...
And you're ALIVE, that's an OW you will NEVER recover from. >.<

Seiya forgets that the male body is just a disguise, and by the end, really does believe herself a he.

The male body of course was just a clever ploy used to disguise themselves as a boy band, so that Kakyuu could find them sooner, but Galaxia would not. The magic they used of course had to be strong enough, so that it would last until either

(a) Kakyuu finds them.

(b) They transform once again.

(c) They just get sick of lying about who they are.

This is why even the best Sailormoon experts are stumped by Seiya's naked male form, but the fact remains that Seiya, Yaten and Taiki are STILL girls who dress up as guys who dress up as girls, and not the other way around. So in case you are wondering, not even in the anime could Seiya EVER father either Chibiusa or Kousagi.

By the way, none of this bullshit happened like this in the manga. Seiya had no problems being a girl.

22. Are Sailors Mars and Saturn the only Senshi with psychic powers?
Actually, no! Believe it or not, many of the Senshi have a small psychic ability, which they have each used at one point or another. One of the more prevalent "Psychic Senshi" is none other than Sailor Moon herself. She can sense which people are truly evil as opposed to the truly good. This has allowed for her to spot everyone from future Senshi to villains who were never meant to be bad. Her powers have even proven themselves to be more useful than Luna's ability, when in the anime it was Usagi who realized that Ami was NOT the enemy, long before Luna wised up! Sailor Moon can also see into the future, having been the first one wary of Chibiusa. Sailor Moon knew about her first-born's future as Black Lady, even before the little princess was kidnapped. She knew all about how easy it would be for Chibiusa to fall under dark forces, but she also knew that even in child-form, Sailor Chibimoon already had the same if not more powers than the original Sailor Moon! Usagi also knew that Chibi Chibi was a born ally, and in the back of her mind, Usagi already knew that a second child was in the works. In the anime, another one to have this inkling was Tuxedo Mask! In the episode commonly referred to by it's US name "Thorny weather", Mamoru looked upon his friend, who already had 6 small children, and a 7th on the way, and thought about his own destiny, much to the surprise look on Chibiusa's face. ^_~ Mamoru was the first person to dub his child "The next Sailor Moon" (not in the same wording, but it's in the issue where she first becomes Sailor Chibimoon, go read it its good!) and he was the first one to dub his lover and child "Super Sailors". He has always known of Usagi's potential, long before anyone else noticed a distinct similarity between the MOON princess and Sailor MOON, and like Usagi, always knew of Chibiusa's powers, before he even knew who's baby she was! ^_^ Other "Psychic Senshi" include but are not limited to:

Sailor Pluto (Aside from her known duties, she has always had a connection to Chibiusa.)

Sailor Juno (While still known as Jun-Jun, she knew of her future with Zirconia and Chibiusa)

Sailor Chibimoon (Who has always had a connection to Pluto, Usagi, Helios and Mamoru)

Sailor Neptune (She mainly uses her mirror, but she was the first to realize Hotaru's new destiny)

And to a very small extent Sailor Uranus. (Both Uranus and Neptune can feel when evil is afoot.)

23. Do Kousagi and Chibiusa have Mamoru's last name?
No. Chibiusa and Kousagi have their mother's maiden name of Tsukino. It's never quite explained why, but none of the Inner Senshi ever take on their husbands' names. All six of the known children of the Inner Senshi have their mothers' maiden names on account of this fact. Indecently, if Usagi had taken on Mamoru's last name, there's a good chance that Kousagi's nickname and her father's last name would've been combined to read as......
Chibi Chiba Ha ha!
(Truth be told, credit for that joke goes to my kid bro. AND YES Rini and I ARE STILL born first, I checked!! Thanks my little Kanenite! ^_~)

24. Are Chibi Chibi and Kousagi the same?
This one came from a mild misunderstanding, over Kousagi's nickname. The answer of course is no.
Kousagi is the second-born child of Usagi and Mamoru, and is the younger sister of Chibiusa. Chibiusa's nickname for Kousagi is "Chibi", thus where the confusion lies with some fans.

Chibi Chibi's existence is explained over on the Who is Chibi Chibi page. If you don't know the truth about this kawaii girl, then please visit this page: , as reading the whole article will help explain the mystery behind various tales of Chibi Chibi, including this one:


25. What is the name of Kousagi's attack?
Well...... You see, the popular fan translation, via the internet is the flouncy:

"Kitty cat Kitty cat become a giant Mountain cat"

However, those of us using ACTUAL English/Japanese dictionaries often use the LITERAL translation of :

"Cats! Cats! Become a giant mountain of cats! GO FORTH!!"

To say "Kitty cat Kitty cat", implies that Kousagi is only ordering one cat, yet in the previous panel, we can see that she is referring to a large group of cats.

Technically, there is no official name for the attack yet. So for the time being, the attack will be called by Kousagi's cry of *GAA~AAASP* ............. (all together now)...............:
"Cats! Cats! Become a giant mountain of cats!
GO FORTH!!"

26. If Pluto is no longer a "planet" as of 2006, then does that mean that Sailor Pluto isn't a Senshi anymore?
Hell no! Since 1930, Pluto has been accepted worldwide as the ninth planet in the Milky Way
Galaxy. I believe that if people were fine with it being a planet for 76 years, then there's no need to change it now.

Anyone who argues that Pluto is “too small to be a planet” needs his head examined.

Lookie here, if we can see it with a telescope, all the way down here on Earth, then odds are, it's NOT all that tiny.

It's very simple. We are very small, and Pluto is very, very far away.

So regardless of what these so called "experts" say, I still accept Pluto a planet.

And in answer to the above question, no. None of these new findings alter Pluto's power as a Sailor Senshi. Not all Senshi are named after real moons or planets...

Ever look up at the sky and gaze upon "Planet Chibimoon"?

27. Are Kousagi and Peruru an item?
No. Peruru appears only in the SuperS movie, and Kousagi only appears in the Parallel Sailormoon mini-manga. But it's fun to daydream. I figure that they're both very sweet characters, they seem to have plenty in common, and hell, sketches of Peruru appear in the same book that Kousagi's manga debuted in. (The Materials Collection) But alas, to this day, the two have yet to meet. And although Usagi already approves of Peruru (albeit for Chibiusa), I can't help but wonder what Mamoru would say about either of his kids dating people about 1000 years their senor...


28. Let's say I own all of the anime on DVD, Laserdisc or Videotape. Exactly how long would it take me to watch the entire series in one sitting?
Well, if you were to watch all 200 episodes non-stop, WITHOUT skipping over the beginning and ending credits, and then followed that up with all 3 of the movies, it would take you 6180 minutes! That's about 4 days and 7 hours of wall-to-wall Sailormoon action! O.O 4 days 9 hours if you’re lucky enough to find the specials too.

29. Why do you call yourself Codename Sailor Earth if Mamoru has those powers?
... It's just a pen-name. It's for fun.

30. Is Kousagi in the live action special??
Okay, this comes from a sloppy yet Cy-uuuuuu-te costume featured in Pretty Guardian Sailormoon. Apparently in one of the "Special Acts", there is a person dressed like this:

Now before you go off into the panic that I was in, lemme explain. This is NOT Kousagi.

In one of the "Special Acts", there's a moment where we see young Usagi daydreaming about being like Sailor V. This is WRONG for many reasons, including the fact that Sailors V and Moon are the EXACT same age. (Sailor V became a Senshi when she was 13.) However, it is cute to note that her costume mimics both of her future daughters. And although it’s hinted in the "Wedding" episode that Usagi is pregnant with Chibiusa, neither Chibiusa nor Kousagi appear on screen in the live action series.

Credit for this information goes to The Oracle.

31. Are Usagi and Kousagi the same person?
>_O
Usagi is Kousagi’s mother. It’s NOT possible to give birth to yourself. (What does she look like, Dragon ball’s Piccolo Daimou?)

32. Are Diana Fairy and Diana the same person?
No. Although they share the same name, they are two different characters.

Diana Fairy was meant as a guide to the Senshi for the first part of the series. She was however, replaced by Queen Serenity.

Diana the cat is the daughter of Luna and Artemis, and is of Mau origin, whereas Diana fairy was from the Moon.

33. Are Queen Serenity and Diana Fairy the same person?
What? Of course not. Queen Serenity was the Moon Queen and mother to Princess Serenity. Diana Fairy was a non-used fairy featured in the Materials Collection artbook.

This rumor started because Queen Serenity in effect replaced Diana Fairy’s part in the series.

34. Are Rini and Chibi Chibi the same?
The hell? NO! Lookie here, Rini (Chibiusa) is the first-born daughter of Usagi and Mamoru. She is also Sailor Chibi Moon (Mini Moon), the future ruler of Crystal Tokyo and older sister to Kousagi.

And as for Chibi Chibi.... OoOoOoh just click here:

35. Sailor Chibi Chibi Moon is Sailor Cosmos's daughter?
Where in the good name of fuck did THAT come from????? NO!!! Go here:

36. Sailor Moon and Diana Fairy are the same?
No. Although they look alike, they are NOT the same.

37. Chibi Chibi and Kousagi's cat are either related or the same?
No. Although they share the same hairstyle, this in no way means they are related. Kousagi's cat is probably from Planet Mau, and as for Chibi Chibi ... oh you know the drill. Go here:

38. Chibiusa (Rini) was re-incarnated along with Princess Serenity and her court, and lived during the Silver Millennium?
Um... considering the fact that Chibiusa was not even conceived until AFTER Serenity was reincarnated as Usagi and began her duties as Sailor Moon, then NO. Neither Chibiusa nor Kousagi existed during the Silver Millennium.

39. Hey Codename Sailor Earth! Why are your outfit colors blue and green?
Well actually, my favorite colors are green and pink, but Sailor Jupiter would've slapped me with a Super Sailor Lawsuit if I had copied her outfit. ^_^ Just kidding! Blue and Green represent the colors of Earth as seen from the Moon's perspective. For a more "close-up-Earth" depiction, I could've gone with brown and green, but Sailor Juno already has that. So that's why I'm blue and green.

40. Usagi is Rini's sister?
No. When 30th Century Chibiusa came to Usagi's timeline, she posed as either her sister or her cousin. This was only a cover, as Chibiusa is of course Usagi and Mamoru's first born daughter. Besides, how do you go up to your mom and say...

"Hey Mama! I flunked math, I'm a superhero, Luna can talk AND crap magical items, and this is my future daughter with the Horney guy dad doesn't like. What's for dinner?"

41. Lindsey Lohan is Sailor Moon?
OH PLEASE GOD NO!!!!!!!!! Okay, the answer really is no. (PHEW Thanks God! ^_^)

That rumor started circulating the internet back in 2005. It was created by a popular website, meant as a joke, but somebody took it too far.

Currently, there are NO American movies planned for Sailormoon. Initially, DIC had contacted Disney about a proposed feature back in 1997, but thank GOD that too fell through, and within 2 years time, DIC's ties with Disney began to slip. But that has poopie to do with this right? Moving on.

Lindsey Lohan's schedule currently (as of 2007) is too tight for such a demanding role anyway. And the former Disney actress doesn't even look like Usagi to begin with. If such a deal were to occur (you know, in an alternate universe in Hell), she probably would turn it down, due to her busy life.

God willing, Hollywood will continue to look the other way, so that we TRUE Sailormoon fans can enjoy the series, should a new screen adventure BASED ON THE MANGA begin.

42. Haruka's mansion comes from her father?
WOW! That's an old one. Somebody back in 1996 spread this weird rumor about Haruka living with her father in the anime, and having him allow Michiru and Hotaru to live with them. I have NEVER seen this anywhere else, ANYWHERE in the series.

Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna own their OWN properties on their own merit. Which is totally awesome, considering that Haruka and Michiru are still only in their mid teens when we first see them. Haruka is a professional race car driver, as well as a pianist.
(I can hear your jokes now... stop that. ~_~) And Michiru is a world class violinist. With that being said, they earn enough separately that they would never need anyone else's assistance. Setsuna has also worked as a school nurse, and the three of them also end up owning their own cooking school. So no, Haruka's father did NOT buy her that mansion. The mansion belongs to Haruka of her own merits.

Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna don't even have families, outside of their adopted sweetie, Hotaru.

43. Princess Kakyuu has a daughter and it's Chibi Chibi?
No. Although in the anime they both have pretty red hair, Kakyuu is NOT Chibi Chibi's mother. In fact, to date, Kakyuu does not yet have any children.
And if you haven't yet, then go here:

44. Kousagi has a daughter named Chibi Chibi?
O__O; WTF??? Okay, no! Currently, Chibiusa and Kousagi are without children. This might change one day, but for right now, they don't have any.
For Chibi Chibi....

45. Umino/Melvin, Molly/Naru and each of the Senshi's friends and family were all alive during the Silver Millennium and Naru/Molly is a Sailor Senshi?
Huh? Th' Hell? Okay, super-NO. Nowhere in either the anime nor the manga, do we EVER see ANY of the other characters on the moon, outside of the main cast or the villains.

Furthermore, Naru/Molly is NOT a Sailor Senshi. Nope. Not eva. Naru is more of a hapless victim than superhero to be anyways. The other people we see in the flashbacks have NOTHING to do with the cast of characters the Senshi grow up with.

Besides, wouldn't it be awkward to see Ikuko meet Serenity?

46. Chaos kidnapped Naru and she became Sailor Galaxia?
In what universe prey tell? No. Naru and Galaxia have nothing to do with each other. Naru is just the victim best friend of Usagi, and Galaxia is one of Usagi's worst enemies. The two never meet.

47. In Sailormoon SuperS, some of the baddies call upon "Lemures". They also call upon Remliss. What the heck are Lemures and Remlisses?
According to the Britannica World Language Dictionary, printed in 1966 by Funk &Wagnall’s, Lemures (In Roman religion) are the shades of spirits of the dead, which makes sense considering how they appear as shadows behind various "Amazon" villains, and then the Lemures spring up as the specters that Super Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Chibi Moon have to defeat.

Some believers classify Lemures into two separate groups. Lares are benevolent spirits who watch over the household, and Larvae are supposedly the souls of the wicked, whom cannot find peace.

May 9th, 11th and the 13th by the way were originally Known as feast days of Lemuria or Lemuralia, a holiday devised to appease the Lemures. The Lemures were offered black beans in hopes of propitiating them, and some even used loud noises to scare them away.

Lemures are also known as Linnaeus. this is due to their large eyes, and their various nocturnal habits.

"Remliss" is a common mistranslation of Lemures. This is due to how Cloverway translators often misunderstood Japanese speech and writing. (I don't get it either. Japanese is actually tons o' fun!)

48. Chibiusa is Hawkeye's daughter?
>_O Have you not been reading this page? HELL NO!!! Although the two share some similar traits, Chibiusa is NOT the daughter of Hawkeye. Mamoru is her father, no matter what anyone tells you.

49. Setsuna is Chibiusa's birth mother, and Usagi is only her adoptive mom?
Ah, one of the two most popular "Rini's mom" rumors. This one started because there are a few moments in the manga, where Sailor Pluto is seen eyeing King Endymion. Of course the answer is NO!! For although Setsuna acts quite motherly around Chibiusa, and the two share similar eye color, USAGI GAVE BIRTH TO CHIBIUSA, and therefore USAGI IS CHIBIUSA'S MOM. Not Setsuna.

50. Rei is Rini's birth mom?
First of all, lets celebrate. This is the 50th question I have answered on this page. YATTA!! Pop out the bubbly, then read on. The answer to the above question is.......

SO HELL FREAKING NOOOOOOOOOOO~OOOOOOOOOO!!!!

In case you missed the last several answers, USAGI is Chibiusa/Rini's birth mom. And currently... SHE HAS NO OTHER MOM BUT USAGI!!! Does that help?

51. Usagi/Serena and Mamoru/Darien should not be considered Rini's parents, because Rini is seen during the timeline in which Usagi has not yet given birth to her, and the whole parent thing doesn't count unless they are from the same time stream?

O_O; Wow, this one makes me feel... a little sad. I can't believe I just read that...

Okay, look. Once again.... NO. Despite the fact that 30th Century Chibiusa and 1994 Usagi are from separate time streams, they share the same DNA. Meaning that even IF they were separated by over 900 years.... a paternity test would show that Usagi and Mamoru are STILL Rini's parents.

Time streams mean doody when compared to DNA. Whether they are Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, Serenity and Endymion or Usagi and Mamoru, THEY ARE STILL RINI'S PARENTS.

52. Kousagi doesn't count as Rini's sister, because she's only seen in one mini-manga, and in that one she is "Parallel" Chibiusa's sister. And because they are from different universes, "Parallel" Chibiusa and 30th Century Rini are NOT the same, so Kousagi only counts for ONE manga?
Aaaaaaaaaand what ill-educated numbnut told you this? Of course Kousagi still counts!

First of all, Parallel Chibiusa and 30th Century Rini are two versions of THE SAME PERSON. Meaning that even though they "may" be from two different universes, they share the SAME DNA. Genetically speaking, Chibiusa and Rini are one and the same.

And second of all, ALL versions of Chibiusa/Rini would share the same DNA with Kousagi, since she is the second born child of Chibiusa/Rini's parents.

So no matter which version we go by, Kousagi IS Chibiusa/Rini's little sister, so long as they share that bit of DNA.

So yes, Kousagi DOES count as Rini's sister, the same way she is Chibiusa's sister.

53. Kousagi doesn't count as Usagi's daughter, since her mini-manga was non-cannon?
Cannon or non-cannon, Kousagi DOES and FOREVER will count as Usagi and Mamoru's second child, the SAME WAY that Chibiusa counts as their first. Remember, as long as they share that bit o' DNA, she DOES count! The debate over cannon vs. non-cannon is irrelevant, as long as there is DNA proof of Kousagi's paternity.

54. Is Chibiusa Rini's sister?
No. They are one and the same.

In Japan, Usagi's first born is called "Chibiusa", which is an abbreviated way of saying "Little Bunny", since Usagi translates to "Bunny".

In America, Usagi was called "Serena", short for Serenity. "Rini" could be taken as a play off of the name Serena, but in Japanese, "Rini" also means "Little Bunny".

So, Chibiusa and Rini are actually the same girl. Not sisters.

55. Why do you make such weird comments about Helios and Peruru on the Chibiusa's Lovers page? Do you hate them?
No. Not at all, really! I'm just making those comments from Usagi and Mamoru's standpoint. Everyone else looks at them from Chibiusa's point of view, with comments on "Aw, gosh they're so cool!" or "Oh, so fine!" or even "I wish I could be someone's Chibiusa like that..."

I don't see them like that at all. Instead, I'm thinking from a more mature mentality.

Think about it..... no really. Think HARD. Try this exercise with me.

If you're a dude, pretend you're Tuxedo Mask. And if you're a chick, pretend you're Sailor Moon.

You have a pretty young daughter. She's you're "little bunny". ^_^

She's going through puberty...quickly.

It's 2:00 a.m. when suddenly, you hear a noise.

You peer into your daughter's room, only to find out that there's a man with purple tinted hair and a "MAAaaaAAAaaaagic flute". And pretty man-wings. Who wants to see her with lots and lots of "sweets". (Peruru)

And beside your daughter is another man, with a "MaaaaAAAaaaAAgic horn", and he wants to show her his "Pegasus Power" with it. (Helios)

Each of these MEN want to "fly away forever" with your young, pretty daughter, who's going through puberty.

What's going through YOUR mind???

Well? Have I explained this one? How do you like them now? Uh-huh....

56. If Kousagi is Sailor Chibi Moon/Mini Moon's little sister, then why isn't Kousagi known as Sailor Chibi Chibi Moon, or Sailor Mini Mini Moon, instead of Chibi Chibi?
Well, I think it boils down to a combination of time and ability.

Sailor Chibi Moon/ Sailor Mini Moon as a title, means that she is the next "Sailor Moon", as Tuxedo Mask put it in Act 23 of the manga.

When Chibi Chibi first transformed, her identity was still unknown. The first person to even mention a Sailor Senshi title for her was Eternal Sailor Moon. So Sailor Moon just called her by the first name that popped into her head: Sailor Chibi Chibi (Moon). Sailor because she is one, Chibi Chibi because that is what her name was at the time, and Moon because nobody knew if Chibi Chibi was Sailor Moon's or Sailor Chibi Moon's child yet. (She isn't, but good guess, eh?)

Kousagi did not show up until two years after the end of the Sailormoon series. Officially, Kousagi and her court are STILL without official Senshi titles. Most people call Kousagi "Sailor Parallel Moon", because that's the name of the manga she debuts in. Which makes sense not just for her manga debut, but also because she is a parallel of her mother Usagi, and because Kousagi's story is quite different from the future we were all expecting.

On a side note, some even call Kousagi "Sailor Bunny Moon", because of her outfit.

Pretty much though, whether you talk about Sailor Chibi Moon or Kousagi, it seems that they are both in line to be the "next Sailor Moon". Chibi Chibi's Senshi title could have just been a matter of convenience for Sailor Moon, who in Act 1 of the manga pretty much named herself. There's a scene where she's introducing herself to the enemy, and by knowing she's in a Sailor Suit (ala Sailor V) and seeing Luna nod towards the moon, Usagi puts together the name "Sailor Moon".

57. Is Chibi Chibi's North American name Mini Mini?
No. The only name for Chibi Chibi to appear on any officially licensed Sailormoon product for North America was.... Chibi Chibi. And that product line was of course the manga.

The rumor about her name being "Mini Mini" originates from the re-naming of Sailor Chibi Moon for the Cloverway edit of Sailormoon S and Sailormoon SuperS. (Chibi Moon became Mini Moon)

Fearing that North American viewers would not understand the Japanese word "Chibi" (which means small), Cloverway decided to change "Sailor Chibi Moon" to the Austin Powers chic "Sailor Mini Moon". Fans who were not completely outraged, began floating around rumors that if their little hero Sailor Chibi Moon was to be re-named, then surely Chibi Chibi would similarly have to deal with being called Mini Mini. However, there has been no official dub cut of Sailormoon StarS yet, so currently her only non-Senshi name is Chibi Chibi. NOT Mini Mini.

58. Is it true that all Sailormoon baddies come from the Negaverse?
Holy crap! I haven't had to deal with that word in YEARS! Okay, this has a yes/no answer.

First of all, the word "Negaverse" was a term fabricated by DiC in North America, to replace terms such as "Dark Kingdom" and "Black Moon". This is NOT the original name for ANY of the villains, and should not be used in reference to ANY villain that came after the first season, despite the DiC cut. The term was only meant to describe villains from evil or unknown places of origin anyway.

Second, in the end of the StarS manga, it is found out that Queen Metallia, Wiseman, Master Pharaoh 90, and Queen Nehellenia/Nepherenia are all the children of Chaos. So in a way, all of the "main" villains came from the same place, but this does not include villains such as the aliens, movie villains, or any of the mini-manga villains. Nor does this include any villain portrayed in the SuperS specials. Only the main baddies serving under the rule of Chaos's "kids".

So no. Although the main baddies came from Chaos, there is no actual "Negaverse" mentioned anywhere, outside of DiC's 82 episode nightmare and it's subsequent merchandising, meaning that not all villains came from the Negaverse.

However, the official Sailor Moon TCG has a card from the base set with a picture of Queen Beryl and Queen Metallia fused. The card's title is "The Negaforce" and it replaces Queen Beryl in the game, sort of as an evolution. This is as close to a "real" form for the Negaverse/Negaforce as we come, indicating that the "Negaverse" is Queen Metallia. DiC's dumbed down dubbing, blaming all villains on the Negaverse then implies that all villains come from Metallia. This would have meant her parent Chaos would have come from her as well, had DiC kept it's rights through StarS, which would have implied that Metallia is the mother of her own father, a case that could only be explained through time travel and paradoxes, of which she is incapable of! (Outside of Queen Serenity sending her to the 20th century of course.) This is of course an error made by DiC, since all main baddies came from Chaos, and not the other way around, and should be dismissed.

The Negaverse/Negaforce is neither a power, committee nor actual being, it is a term from DiC.

59. Irwin made a Chibi Chibi doll and her name was changed to RiRi?
No. Irwin sadly never made a doll for Chibi Chibi. (That sucks I know.) Any Chibi Chibi doll that bears any resemblance to the 1995-2001 Bandai or Irwin North American Sailor Moon set is bootleg.

Furthermore, the ONLY name she was EVER given in North America was Chibi Chibi, and that so far has only been used for the Mixx/Tokyopop edition of the manga.

The name RiRi was a fan made title, based on Chibiusa's English nickname "Rini". Both are used by fans as the short form of "Serena", though Rini is also Japanese for "little bunny". The name RiRi is like the fan name Pikablu given to the Pokemon Marril in 1999. (The year Kousagi debuted~ Irony!)

Another story exists that Mixx/Tokyopop were going to rename Chibi Chibi RiRi, believing that either DiC or Cloverway would have altered the name when Sailormoon StarS was brought over. However StarS has yet to be dubbed by either company, and Mixx kept Chibi Chibi’s Japanese name.

The name RiRi was used on different blogs by scared fans, worried that Chibi Chibi's storyline would have been changed, had she made it to North American television. The fear being that she might have either taken Kousagi's spot as the next child, or had become Rini's child. Both theories are of course untrue, but considering the dubbed anime, I can't blame them. With that said, Chibi Chibi has never yet been renamed officially, and hopefully it will stay that way. There's no RiRi.

In fact, here is the very bootleg site that perpetuates the myths of “RiRi” being Chibiusa’s sister!

60. Did Queen Beryl send Alan and Ann (Ali and Ein) to Earth?
My 60th question! A golden achievement for Moon Sisters. ^u^ Okay, in answer to this question,
NO!! This rumor ACTUALLY comes from the DiC dub of Sailormoon R, AND from the North American Sailor Moon book titled: The Return Of Sailor Moon. In both the book and the dubbed version of episode 47 (41 for you dubbies) there exists this line:

Anne: Queen Beryl was right, Earth is just what we need.

The problem with this line, outside of the obvious lack of writing talent from the DiC staff of chain-smoking chimps, is the fact that Queen Beryl NEVER contacted Alan and Ann. She was dead.

Furthermore, I doubt very highly that IF the dead Queen Beryl COULD make a last ditch phone call for help, she wouldn't make a long distance call to a couple of teenaged aliens from 16 galaxies away. The phone bill alone would have killed her, long before Sailor Moon found her way to Beryl.

Also, in the original, Ali/Alan and Ein/Anne never came from the Negaverse, nor did they come from the same territories as Beryl. Beryl served under Queen Metallia, a child of Chaos. Alan, Ann, the Doom Tree, the movie villains, the villains in the specials and possibly Kousagi's enemy are all enemies that were extra, meaning that they were separate from Chaos's "kingdom". The same is said for several of Codename Sailor V's enemies. Not all, but some.

61. Is there any ability used in a DC/Marvel comic that has NEVER been used by a Sailormoon character in the anime or manga?
Invisibility. Although many characters are exceptionally good at hiding or using different dimensions as a cover, not a single monster, villain or Scout has ever used Invisibility in either the anime or manga. Nope, not once. The closest any of them ever got was that some of the villains have used a form of super speed to evade would-be dead on attacks. Flying, time travel, energy beams, use of the elements, and psychic powers however have all been used at one point or another.

62. Mamoru/Darien and Usagi/Serena go to the same school?
No. Although this was implied incorrectly in some of the North American released books by Scholastic and Mixx/Tokyopop, Mamoru goes to a completely different school from Usagi.

Usagi goes to Juban/Crossroads and Mamoru goes to Azabu.

Furthermore, there is a three year age gap between the two, so if they were to ever share a class together (outside of a parenting one), that would either make Usagi smarter than Ami, OR Mamoru dumb as hell. :-P Explains why it took him so long though, eh?

63. Were there ever any characters that were only for the North American version of Sailormoon?
Believe it or not, YES! O_O In the Tokyopop/Mixx/Smile Sailor Moon Novels there are some characters listed that NEVER appear in the anime OR manga. Below is a small list of people who do not exist outside of the North American merchandise or dub, or appear briefly yet are billed as being main characters from the anime. Names listed in Blue are North America ONLY, and names listed in Purple come from season one characters from the original anime:

Principal Donan, a.k.a Donan the Dreaded ~ Listed in Sailor Moon Novel #2, Melvin, Molly and Serena complain about their evil principal.

Lisa Brownridge ~ Debuting in Sailor Moon Novel #1, Lisa could be a renaming for the tall brown haired girl with freckles from episode 4. Lisa is a classmate at Crossroads Junior High.

Kim Matthews ~ Debuting in Novel #1, Kim is a classmate of Serena's. Although not actually in the corresponding episode to the chapter where she mentions this, Kim mentions in Novel #2 that she was once anorexic, in an unhealthy attempt at becoming thin. (Listen up ladies and gentleman~ Being magazine thin is unhealthy! EAT SOMETHING!! It's much healthier and cuter to be slightly pudgy than to be able to count your ribs~ Codename Sailor Earth says!) Kim is the renaming of Yumiko, the tall, thin, black haired, blue eyed friend of Usagi and Naru, and often replaces Serena's chubby classmate in chapters based on episodes that featured the chubby girl and not Yumiko.

Rica Kelton ~ Debuting in Novel #1, Rica is another classmate of Serena's.

Tim House ~ Debuting in Novel #1, Tim could be a renaming for Yuuji Kimura, the brown haired, blue eyed boy from episode 2, who tripped Miss Haruna. Tim is one of several boys turned evil by the yoma Baamu, and is described as a geeky good kid.

Mr. Olsen ~ A possible teacher or principal who's window was broken by Melvin in Novel #1. He chases Melvin and some other students turned bad by a yoma. The original teacher he was based on appears briefly in episode 2, but has no name.

Pamela Ooh Sanderson ~ Listed in Novel #2, she replaces the famous model Rie Gotou Usagi and Naru saw on the front of the gym building from episode 4. Pamela is in a TV show called Bayswatch.

Joe Pestone, Bill, Zach, Jill, Tina Marin and June Chin ~ Classmates of Serena's in Novel #1 and #2.

Abby Holland ~ A possible renaming of a classmate of Shingo's in the episode where he breaks Mika's doll.

These characters were probably added to fill out stories with mindless American teenaged babble, in a lame attempt to make Usagi/Serena look as American as possible, the choice was made by people who view quantity over quality when it comes to friends. (It's actually the other way around.) They also provide filler for spots where no superhero action was planned.

Also, in the Cloverway dub of episode 94, Michelle (Michiru) makes comments alluding to her first kiss from her first boyfriend “Brad” the cutest boy in school. This is all well and good except for three things:

1. Michiru has only dated Haruka.
2. She’s mostly Gay
3. THERE AIN’T NO BRAD!!

Then in episode 107, they decided to add in another boyfriend “Mike”. The only Mikes I can find are Maiku (engaged to a woman in Russia) and Mike Makkii (a female villain killed by Minako). Both exist only in the Codename Sailor V manga, and NIETHER even meet Michiru. There’s no Mike for Michelle. Baka Cloverway.

64. Some characters live longer in the anime than in the manga. Like how the Dark Moon Sisters live as humans in the anime, when they had died in the manga. But were there any characters brought back to life for the North American version only?
Yes. In the Cloverway version of episode 91 (84 dub) Usagi/Serena asks the Senshi if they can take in some cats she and Mamoru/Darien found with a little girl. Makoto originally says that since she lives alone in an apartment, she can't afford one. However as Lita, she says "I can't take one 'cause my mom's allergic to cats".

Makoto/Lita is an ORPHAN, however since the mere thought of a 14 year old living on her own with her own money is considered "Negative Imitative Behavior" in North America, her mother was brought back to life.

65. Are there any zombies in Sailormoon?
After going through the anime and manga once more, I stumbled upon some main characters who WEREN'T brought back the same as the Senshi, meaning that their rebirth was more of a re-animation. Now of course you already know that the Animamates count as "living dead" by the means of how Galaxia brought them back and by how they can die again, but I'm NOT talking about them!! There ARE 4 potential zombies, who fought against Sailor Moon in season one!
Yep, that's right, the Four Generals! Think about it....

O_O!!! OMG NARU-CHAN RUUUUUUUUN!!! That potential lay wants to EAT YOUR BRAINS!
Granted, your brains aren't where he's thinking about at the moment, but ya know. RUUUN!!!
(You don't suppose he'd try to eat her brains through her.... ^.^ Watashi wa Ecchi... Gomen Nasai....)

66. Why was Usagi awakened as Sailor Moon instead of Princess Serenity, AND why did she stay a Sailor Senshi after they found out the truth?
Good question. One theory is that perhaps Luna and Artemis had their memories altered on purpose, so that a decoy princess (Sailor Venus) could distract The Dark Kingdom until the real princess (Sailor Moon) was ready to defeat them. Another theory exists that perhaps being a soldier is part of the journey that one must take to become queen. Remember, in the manga, when Usagi became Eternal Sailor Moon, it was said that Eternal Sailor Moon has power second only to that of the queen. However, I do think it's funny that when she was Princess Serenity in her first life, that she had NO powers at all, like how Chibiusa began. Yet when Luna awakened her in her second life, she suddenly had more power and battle savvy than anyone else in the universe! Think about it, she's one out of six Sailor Senshi to survive long enough to stop Chaos in the manga (the others being The Amazoness Quartet and Sailor Cosmos) and one of four to survive long enough to heal Sailor Chaos in the anime! (The other 3 being the Starlights.) Considering her battle skills, I'd say that's pretty good.

67. Are there any Sailor Senshi that DON'T die?
As of April 17, 2008, Sailor Juno, Sailor Vesta, Sailor Pallas, Sailor Ceres, Kousagi, Ami Jr, Rei Jr, Mako and Mina are the only manga Senshi to not die. I would add Sailor Cosmos, but if you've seen then you'll know her true identity, and thus know that she must have died and then come back at some point in her universe. Kousagi and the Amazoness Quartet came REAL close to dying, but were all saved last minute. Kousagi by her cat, and the Amazoness Quartet by Sailor Cosmos. In the anime, Sailor Star Fighter, Sailor Star Healer and Sailor Star Maker do not die, even though they do in the manga. Everyone else in the series has died at least once. Most of them come back though...

68. Makoto/Lita and Andrew/Motoki got married and had Mako?
Okay, this is where the live action Sailormoon show Pretty Guardian Sailormoon (PGSM) really messes things up.

In the live action show, it's implied that Makoto will get together with Motoki. Now although I REALLY did like that part, this is nowhere in the manga. (Friggin' Reika...) Now it is possible that Motoki might break up with the high maintenance Reika, and there is one panel of the manga where Makoto kisses Motoki's forehead, AND he's one of the ONLY characters in the manga to find out her identity, but it's never mentioned who Mako's father is. Mako, Mina, Ami Jr and Rei Jr each have fathers, but nothing is known about them. I can't say if Motoki is or isn't the father. Wouldn't it be nice if he was though? It would make sense since his family already owns solid business real estate (Crown Arcade... Crown Parlor...) and Makoto in Parallel Sailormoon does own her own bakery and floral shop.... HmmmMMMmmmmmm.... ^u^

69. Is Asanuma Mako's father?
Read question 68, and just replace everything I just wrote about Motoki with Asanuma, minus Reika and the family business.

70. Ikuko's eyes in the manga are red. Rini's eyes are red. Are they inbred?
O_O My 70th question! I'm doing well, eh? (Knocks wood.) To the best of my knowledge, NO. Although it is strange that red eyes are a genetic trait in that family. Hmm...

71. Sailor Neptune is the re-incarnation of Sailor Mercury?

Oh my I haven’t heard this one in YEARS. Okay, the answer is NO. Although Sailor Mercury did die in episode 45, she came back to life as HERSELF in episode 46. Michiru Kaioh and Ami Mizuno are two different Sailor Senshi. Hell, they don’t even look alike.

72. Cartoon Network is gonna air Sailor Moon on June 4^th!

Ah, hmm. Okay, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to touch on this, but okay. The answer as of September 25, 2008 is no. Cartoon Network did air Sailor Moon on June 4^th… of 1997! There’s a really great site that unfortunately hasn’t updated since 2000 that still has the old news up. So I’m sorry to tell you, you missed it.

73. The Moonlight Knight is Tuxedo Mask’s younger brother, and he’s gonna get with Usagi and have Kousagi instead of Chibiusa?

HOLY CRAP WHERE DID YOU HEAR THIS??? >_O

First of all, the Moonlight Knight was the anime part of Mamoru that wanted to protect Sailor Moon at all costs. He’s the half of Mamoru’s soul that’s really nice and is good with kids. Essentially, Moonlight Knight and Mamoru are one and the same. Moonlight Knight was only able to split away from Mamoru for a short time, and re-fused with Mamoru permanently after the fight with the Doom Tree.

Second, Moonlight Knight/Tuxedo Mask/Endymion/Mamoru have BOTH Chibiusa AND Kousagi. Not one OR the other. Duh.

Third, of COURSE he tried to be with Usagi. MAMORU AND MOONLIGHT KNIGHT ARE THE SAME PERSON!!!

So of course they aren’t brothers.

74. Chibi Chibi has a mom with red hair, and she’s the queen of another land?

Ah, no. Where did you get that from? In the anime, she is Galaxia’s Starseed. Galaxia has red and gold hair, but as yet she doesn’t qualify as Chibi Chibi’s mom, since Chibi Chibi’s a part of her. (LIKE HER HEART!!)

In the manga, Chibi Chibi is Sailor Cosmos. Sailor Cosmos is Sailor Moon’s alternate universe self! That means that Ikuko is her mom, and so far, Ikuko doesn’t have red hair. Pink yes, red? No. Her other mother would have been Queen Serenity, who has light hair.

75. Chibi Chibi lives in Elysion?

J Lookie, I made a smiley!

Elysion? WTF? Chibi Chibi lived on EARTH not Elysion. Nobody went back to Elysion after SuperS wrapped up. It’s implied that Chibiusa might go back one day, but not Chibi Chibi.

76. Seiya gets together with Sailor Cosmos/Adult Chibi Chibi?

WHAAAAAAT??? Where did you get the-oops. You got that from the pic in my gallery, didn’t you. Dude, it’s just a pic. NO.

77. In episode 201, Usagi starts having second thoughts about marrying Mamoru, because she’s in love with Seiya, but then they find Mamoru’s long lost baby brother, who’s Moonlight Knight, and he’s really nice to the Sailor Senshi, but he hates Mamoru and wants him dead, and then Jadeite comes back with Titus, and Titus becomes queen of the Negaverse!

O_o What the fuck??? Oh my God, I’ve actually gotten this email from nine different people, some with an eBay link!

Okay, here we go.

*1. There is NO episode 201. At all. Many people over the years have written scripts and Fanfics for a “new season” of Sailormoon, but these are all FAN-MADE ONLY. There IS a Sailormoon tape/DVD set of “new” episodes, but sadly, it’s fan-made. It goes under many titles, including Sailormoon Nexus, Sailormoon Universe, Sailormoon RR, Sailormoon SMRR, Sailormoon B and I’ve even seen Sailormoon the next generation. Unfortunately, it’s all fan-made. Also, the fan-made tape/DVD is based on an OLD fan fiction from 1997.

*2. Usagi was NEVER in love with Seiya. She had a feeling close to a crush on HER in one or two episodes, but then kept reminding Seiya that SHE LOVES MAMORU.

*3. Moonlight Knight is actually the part of Mamoru’s spirit that wants to protect Usagi. NOBODY else is Moonlight Knight. EVER.

*4. Mamoru is an only child. Furthermore, he can’t have any younger siblings because he was orphaned when he was 6.

*5. Titus/Thetis was killed by Sailor Moon’s tiara in episode 12. She disintegrated. She ain’t coming back.

*6. Jadeite was frozen in the anime in Eternal Sleep by Queen Beryl. His body was disposed of. In the manga, Sailor Mars set him ablaze. He ain’t coming back. At all. His soul resides in a stone that Mamoru has.

*7. After Beryl and Metallia, there is NO queen of the Negaverse. Wicked Lady and Emerald do not count.

78. Motoki is Tuxedo Mask or his brother!
Nope. Motoki has no powers what so ever, and is of NO relation to Mamoru. Not that Usagi didn’t guess, but…

79. If Usagi becomes Neo Queen Serenity and is the ruler of Earth, than does that mean she was too lazy to rebuild the Moon Kingdom and also become queen of the Moon?
Actually, in the manga parts of the Moon Kingdom do come back!

After the fight with Metallia, Usagi and Mamoru meet up with Luna and Artemis on the moon. They find that the castle is mostly back to normal, only uninhabited. (Except by Queen Serenity’s essence.)

Next, in the StarS manga, Neo Queen Serenity tells Chibiusa that she will begin training on the moon. So in a small way, the kingdom is back!

80. If there’s no air on the moon, shouldn’t the Senshi have died when they went up there?
O_O; Perhaps because of the power held inside the main cast, they can survive? Magical DNA…

81. If Sailor Cosmos is the alternate universe Usagi, than does that mean that in the Parallel Sailor Moon manga, the Usagi we see is actually Sailor Cosmos?
Nope. The Usagi you see in Parallel Sailormoon is the same crybaby klutz we all know and love in the main series. Sailor Cosmos comes from yet another future dimension. Technically, 30^th Century Crystal Tokyo counts as an alternate universe from the main series.

82. Could Sailor Cosmos be Sailor Sun? If u look at her forehead, she has a sun on it.
Nope. Tuxedo Mask is Sailor Sun. See WAY above.

83. Are you SURE that Rini is not Chibi Chibi’s mom? They both do the umbrella thing. Could Rini as Black Lady have had Chibi Chibi with Rubeus?

Rini is NOT Chibi Chibi’s mom. And although in the anime Chibi Chibi has red hair, she is NOT Rubeus’s child.

Rubeus hated Chibiusa, and tried to kill her. He never wanted to be close to her in ANY form, especially not to sleep with her.

Chibi Chibi in the anime is Galaxia’s Starseed.

Chibi Chibi in the manga is Sailor Cosmos.

Sailor Cosmos is the alternate future universe form of Sailor Moon.

So genetically, Chibiusa/Rini is Chibi Chibi’s blood daughter from an alternate universe.

Same goes for Kousagi.

84. Just as Cosmos is Usagi’s A.U. form, does that mean that Cere Cere is Rini’s A.U. self?
Nope. They look alike, but are NOT related. Just as Venus and Moon are NOT related.

85. The reason why Helios left at the end of SuperS, is because he knocked up Chibiusa with Chibios, and they broke up because she wants to go to 30^th Century and have an abortion?

O_O Holy crap where did you get that from???

First of all, Chibiusa is NOT pregnant. Don’t you think Cartoon Network would have cancelled the series several episodes earlier if she was?

Second, Helios and Chibiusa NEVER broke up. They will one day meet up again.

Third, as of February 18^th 2010, there is no Chibios.

And fourth, Sailormoon is one of the few series out there that has yet to even mention abortion. Nope, not in one panel, not in one episode, hell not even in the live action series. (I checked.) Not even in Sera Myu.

86. Mamoru is the father of the other Parallel Senshi?
You took a joke I made in the Gallery WAY too seriously. He’s only Chibiusa and Kousagi’s father. Sorry.

87. Sailor Iron Mouse goes to school with Chibiusa?
Although the two are supposed to be the same height, no. Sailor Iron Mouse is out of school, and has never met Chibiusa.

88. Sailor Moon breaks up with Mamoru because he molests Chibiusa?

O__O

Holy FUCKING SHIT!!!

First of all, NO!!! There is one issue of the manga, where Usagi screams at Mamoru for spending so much time with their daughter, but aside from that she has never dumped him.

Second, this rumor comes from a Hentai site. And not a very good one either.

Third there is NO instance where Mamoru molests either of his daughters. Chibiusa has kissed him before, and even controlled him in the manga as Black Lady, but there is no implication of anything going further than that.

And WHY would you want to see that EW!!! She’s his DAUGHTER you dummy!!

89. Sailormoon was ALWAYS intended for kids, because there’s a toy line, and adult shows should ALWAYS be censored for children.

First of all…. You’re a retard if you said that with all honesty.

Second, despite the toy line, Sailormoon was initially aimed at an adult audience. Naoko Takeuchi even pointed out that she tried to draw Usagi to appear more sexy to a male audience.

Family Guy, South Park and The Simpsons also have toy lines. With all of the sex jokes and foul language in those shows, would you want your kids watching them?

Third, anyone who believes that ALL shows should be mangled for a 4 year old, ought to be taken out back and flogged relentlessly, until he/she quits being stupid.

Not all of us are perpetual babysitters, and if you’re too stupid to monitor what your kids are watching, then that’s YOUR problem, and nobody else’s BUT YOURS.

Sailormoon is best UNCENSORED. Case closed. End of story.

90. Yaten sired Diana?
OMG my 90^th question!! Keep ‘em coming Minna!

In answer to the question…. No. Although Luna (anime only) bathed with Yaten, Yaten has NO SPERM. So even if anything did happen between them, Yaten can’t father ANYONE.

Therefore, Artemis is Diana’s father.

91. Mamoru is Diana’s father?
Ah no. I don’t think Luna even likes him that much. Artemis, remember him?

92. Chibiusa has dated Artemis as a human and Yaten because they have white hair like Helios?
About Artemis, stop taking everything I post in the Gallery so seriously.
About Yaten, THEY NEVER MET!!

93. Artemis fathered Minako’s daughter!?
The Gallery again. You took it seriously?

Truth be told though…. There is no word on Mina’s father’s identity so….

94. The Four Generals fathered the Parallel Senshi?
Really? That’s a good talent for a bunch of dead guys.

All kidding aside, technically the answer is no. But then….?

95. There’s a character in Gen 13 that is Chibiusa’s Great grandchild?
Well…. No. But lemme explain.

Gen 13 does have a character that looks EXACTLY like Chibiusa. She’s in the background to one issue, and whomever gets me this comic gets a huge thank you if ya do! Also there’s an issue that pokes fun at Sailor Moon, but I can’t find it yet. ^.^;

In any case, the characters are NOT related to Chibiusa. Gomen…

96. Are the movies cannon? And if so where do they fit?
Technically you could count the movies with just a hint of creative thinking:

Sailormoon R movie fits in during episode 88, as noted by Chibiusa’s tiny references to Usagi being not just her own mother, but sort of a mother figure to everyone else. The movie could start right after they return from Crystal Tokyo, but right before Chibiusa leaves for home.

Sailormoon S movie fits in anytime before Chibiusa’s heart crystal is stolen, either right before or right after episode 122. However the Princess Kaguya manga this story was spun off from takes place directly after Sailormoon S, since it’s noted that Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna haven’t seen the others in a while.

Sailormoon SuperS movie fits in between episodes 166 and 167, since Helios is nowhere to be found, but the Sailor Senshi already have the power he’s granted him, and Chibi Moon is now strong enough to perform Moon Gorgeous Meditation. Also, it’s right before the Outers gain their new power from Hotaru, and since there’s no anime comment from any Inner Senshi about Pluto’s resurrection, it’s a safe bet that this could fit in seamlessly before episodes 167 and 168. At that point, nobody asked if Pluto was alive or just a spirit, since Chibi Moon’s having been abducted was a higher priority.

97. Makoto is one year older than the other Senshi, that’s why she’s so tall.
This rumor actually is DiC’s fault! A number of years ago, I got this trading card:

Now this really pisses me off. Not only does this mess up one of my favorite Sailor Senshi, but it makes tall girls out to be SUPER stupid. We see Makoto in the SAME CLASS as Usagi!! If Makoto really is that much older, then this implies that she was left back a year, quite possibly for fighting with the way DiC dubbed this mess.

Outside of the trading cards however, Makoto/Lita is listed in all other forms of merchandise as being the SAME AGE as Usagi. The anime NEVER makes any further mention on the topic, so to answer the question, NO. Makoto/Lita is the same age as Usagi. She is NOT one year older.

98. DiC dubbed StarS!!
Once again, DiC threw you guys a curveball. Let me explain.

BEFORE finishing the dub of the movies, DiC obtained several images from S, SuperS and StarS, and used them in trading cards, calendars and other forms of media in the US until 2004.

However, Cloverway had already gotten the rights to SailormoonS and SuperS, airing the two series on Cartoon Network by 2000, so why DiC would try to garner interest into a series they had lost the rights to is a mystery.

Irwin toys had also made attempts to garner interest in hopes of producing a StarS toy line:


But neither DiC, Cloverway, Irwin, Program Exchange (who helped bring the final 18 episodes of R) or Optimum (who helped DiC and Cloverway dub) would obtain StarS, and the licenses to the anime expired in America between 2004 and 2005.

So the answer is NO. There is NO official dub of Sailormoon StarS as of June 30^th 2010.

99. Seiya is a MAN, and everyone who says Seiya is a girl while transformed is a Doody Head.
Really? So Sailormoon creator is a Doody Head?? Believe it or not the person who emailed me this question was over 30 at the time and in “good” mental health! Go figure.

But getting back to the question, in both the anime and in the manga it’s made VERY CLEAR that Seiya was born a GIRL. If you watch her transformations (Which are all located in the Moon Sisters Theatre for download) you can clearly see that nothing “male” is drawn in below the waist.

AND BEFORE YOU GET ON ME ABOUT STANDARDS AND PRACTICES: Even Mamoru and Helios had a slight “nubbin” drawn in during the rare times they were seen nude or close to nude. There are screencaps of this in the Disturbing Facts and Quirkalicious Galleries, take a look.

Seiya doesn’t even start considering herself as a male until halfway through StarS, and even then it’s ONLY in the anime, so it doesn’t even count.

All of the Starlights are GIRLS. End of discussion.

Now who’s a Doody Head?

100. Why didn’t Chibiusa fade away right after Galaxia took Mamoru’s Starseed in the StarS manga?
*WOOOOOOOOT* I HAVE MADE 100 QUESTIONS!!! TIME TO PAR-TAY!!! CRACK OPEN THE TAB AND KEEP THE CHEESECAKE ROLLIN’ ROLLIN’ ROLLIN’ ♫♪

I would like to thank the academy and *Re-reads question* Holy shit it’s an INTELLIGENT question too!! *WOOOOOT*

Ahem, well to start off, let me post the exact page from Act 56 of the manga. It’s the Tokyopop edition I know, but it’s in English so hush up:

Now right here, you can see that Chibiusa knows her father has lost his life.

*HOWEVER*

Galaxia kept his body alive, right until Act 59, where she pushed him into the Cauldron and Chibi Moon really did disappear.

Now a lot of people confuse soul and body. Let me make this very clear.

Mamoru’s soul had left his body, as soon as his Starseed was taken. He dispersed, but Galaxia re-animated his body later. He was legitimately GONE spiritually until Act 60.

Physically though, his body was ALIVE and well.

Bottom line? Your soul is NOT what gets a Senshi pregnant.

Your body on the other hand……
(P.S. They don’t make soul condoms. Sorry.)

101. If Sailor Moon died, would Chibiusa take over as Sailor Moon?
Yes. In Act 25 of the manga, Tuxedo Mask says that Chibiusa is the "next" Sailor Moon, hence where she is dubbed Sailor CHIBI Moon. Alternately Kousagi would also be considered the “next” Sailor Moon, should Chibiusa die as well, heirless.

When you are a Sailor Senshi, your Senshi name is not only your tie to your Starseed’s home world, it’s also a title that can be passed down to the next of kin. If Rei dies for good, Rei Jr is the new Sailor Mars. And so on and so forth for each Sailor Senshi.

On his wedding day, Mamoru mentions that there will be a day when all of the current Senshi die out for good, and new Senshi will take their places ~ which is a SUPER morbid thought for a man on his wedding day, who not only got laid the night before but has married the ultimate Sailor Senshi, so what the hell? But anyway, to answer the question, yes.

Now excuse me while I cry over episode 196 again.

102. Why does almost everyone hate Rini/Chibiusa so much, to the point where there are hate shrines online devoted to her ugly demise?
Well, to understand at least some of the hate, we have to go back to the beginning.

Right from the start, Naoko Takeuchi wrote and drew out the character that would become Chibiusa Tsukino, and even in early development, Naoko even disliked her, calling her a precocious brat. (OUCH!!) The initial design was for Chibiusa to be a less than likeable tot, and for the most part, it was a success.

In Japan, Chibiusa really wasn't very popular, until after her identity as Usagi and Mamoru's daughter was revealed. It's right about here that the writing for her character in both the manga and anime got better, because now we could all see that she was only acting like a brat because she was scared for her mom. (Awwwwww!)

The animators though still hated her! Some complained that they hated her red eyes, while others complained about drawing in "all that hair". So as some sort of way to ease tension, the Toei writers killed or abused her every chance they got! O_o

There's a spot on Quirkalicious where I list most of the abuse. It's not a complete list of ways they've tried to maim the tiny princess, but it's a big list none the less. In the manga, she only dies twice, and the abuse is understandable. But in the anime? YEESH! Before StarS even began, she had been electrocuted, shot, killed, beaten, spanked, hit by a car, set on fire, put out of existence, frozen not just solid but in time itself, and even had her Heart Crystal swallowed whole!

But for the most part I blame DiC for the many hate pages that sprouted up between 1995-2001. When Chibiusa was introduced to American audiences as "Rini" DiC gave her one of the top 5 worst actresses of all time. That hideous voice made her really irritating. Then came the editors, who decided to take out the first time she tried to kill Usagi, but then replace every other word she says with something really annoying. The DiC writers added in all kinds of insulting lines for Rini to spew out at Serena, and often times plot elements of Sailormoon R episodes were dropped in favor of showcasing Rini as a “street smart” mouthed brat.

Example? There's an episode where she tells Mamoru that something he says sounds "a little funny" to her. "That sounds funny." is the line. DiC changed it to "That's Silly Willy!" and then added in this GAWD awful laugh. I'm not kidding. Some people even blamed Rini’s character as the death of Sailormoon when the series ceased having new episodes for a year in 1996, was bounced from syndication, dropped from USA then bounced from syndication AGAIN, and then when not another episode was dubbed from 1997 until 2000, barring the movies.

And OH the movies. The brat voice REALLY didn’t ease up. And even with cute lines thrown in where Rini acknowledges Serena as her mother, fans were still in a rage.

Soon after Tokyopop/Mixx released the manga stateside, a few fans began to lighten up, once it became clear that the manga Chibiusa was nowhere near as bratty as her DiC counterpart. Soon after, Cloverway fixed the Rini issue by picking one of the cutest voices ever. Plus they restored most of her original dialogue, making her seem sweet and pure, instead of dropkick worthy.

At first, I wasn't a Rini fan myself, but after I got the manga, and started watching the last 17 episodes of Sailormoon R I found Chibiusa to be quite charming. Moon Sisters’ first year though, I got a TON of flack from people who only saw the DiC version, but since then things have been peaceful.

103. Parallel Sailormoon took place in July 1999? That means that Usagi was a little girl when she had Chibiusa! I read it on Genvid!! PSM is fake, I can’t count this story as real, and your birth year for Kousagi is STUPID!!

If I had a dollar for every time I answered an email like this, I could afford to make my own Sailormoon anime.

Okay, let’s break this down.
1. July 1999 is when Naoko Takeuchi wrote the story. That is NOT when it takes place.
2. Parallel Sailormoon takes place 15 years after StarS, hence “our” timeline’s Chibiusa only being 15 years old. Since StarS ends in 1997, this puts the story in the year 2012.
3. I know the people at Genvid mean well, but they’ve posted some wild stories before. In 2004 they claimed that Ace Kaitou and Mamoru were either the same man in the reprint manga or related. He’s neither.
4. Parallel Sailormoon is NOT fake. It was drawn by the same woman who gave us Sailormoon and Codename Sailor V.
5. Parallel Sailormoon’s existence is permanent. Get over it.
6. Math is not stupid, flaming is.

104. Ace Kaitou and Mamoru are the same guy, and Mamoru ditched Minako for Usagi!

Ah… no. Ace is not related to Mamoru. And Mamoru never liked Minako, nor did he ever meet her until WAY after knowing Sailor Moon.

Ace was also from Sailor V’s original planet, Venus. Mamoru in all of his lives is from Earth.

For more on Ace, scroll to his section here:

105. Chibi Chibi is Rei and Mamoru’s daughter from before he dated Usagi, and Rei does Chibi Chibi’s hair like her friend to pay homage.
O_O Oh my God. This rumor was around in 1997! To save time, click here: Although there are a few manga pics where Rei has red hair, she’s NOT Chibi Chibi’s mom.

106. Diana and Peruru/Helios are boyfriend and girlfriend?

Ah no. Though I made a few pics for the Gallery that may make it look like that, that’s really just my Fanart. I don’t think Peruru or Helios like Diana in that way.

107. Naru’s daughter is Chibi Chibi, and either Nephrite fathered her before he died (which is why she’s mostly absent from R, S and SuperS) or Umino fathered her.
Can you see the Chibi Chibi icon? Click on it. She’s not Naru’s.

108. Sailor Cosmos and Kousagi can’t exist because they are from other dimensions and other dimensions don’t exist.

You understand this is a comic book, right?

Scientists today believe first and foremost that for every action you make, there is an alternate universe for it.

Let’s pretend for a moment that you sneeze today. There might be an alternate universe where you never sneeze, and one where you sneeze because you are sick. The possibilities are endless.

There are other dimensions in Sailormoon just as there could be in reality.

Besides, if other universes don’t exist, then how do you explain this?
Usagi would probably tell you that they DO exist in the Sailormoon series.

109. Chibiusa is only 13 in SuperS. But she’s 6 in Sailormoon R, right? So why is she 15 in Parallel Sailormoon, did you goof?

Ah here we go again. Yet another thing DiC screwed up.

In the 3D Adventures of Sailor Moon, DiC’s team incorrectly lists “Rini” as being 6 years old. Many magazines erroneously printed this as her age between R-SuperS, despite the fact that in R she’s in Kindergarten, and in S she’s in the 2^nd grade.

Now the original anime (and even in the edited anime) 30^th Century Chibiusa/Rini’s age is NEVER stated.

But in the manga, King Endymion tells Sailor Venus and Tuxedo Mask that Chibiusa is over 900 years old.

In the Tanabata story of Chibiusa’s Diary (also manga) she turns 902.

She then turns 903 between SuperS and StarS. At the end of StarS, she returns to the 30^th Century.

Same issue, Usagi learns that she is pregnant with her timeline’s Chibiusa.

15 years later, Chibiusa appears as a 9^th grader in Parallel Sailormoon.

110. Kousagi can’t exist because when we saw the future in episode 83 she wasn’t there!

Neither were Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, Taiki, Yaten, Seiya or Diana.

What part of time is in a constant state of change did you miss?? I cover this with questions 100, 8 and 18, but what the hell. Once again.

In the Snow Princess Kaguya manga, Minako explains that time is in a constant state of change. A lot of it is because of Chibiusa’s time hopping.

If Haruka and the rest now permanently exist due to the changes in time, then so do the Parallel Senshi. Forever.

111. Kousagi is from a PARALLEL universe, so that means she can’t ever exist and you’re STOOPIDS for saying otherwise!

Did you not even TRY to read the rest of this page? Usagi-chan, can you handle this for me?

Naoko Takeuchi drew Kousagi. She created Sailormoon. If she’s grown-up enough to have dealt with Kousagi since 1999, I would hope to God you could too.

Kousagi is permanently cannon. Forever. She will always exist.

Now get a life.

112. If they re-dub Sailormoon, will they keep the DiC tracks?

Probably not. You see, DiC was bought out by a company called “The Cookie Jar” a while ago, so it is unclear if either Toei or the Cookie Jar own the rights to the Andy Heyward written tracks. As of August 31, 2011, it remains to be seen if Toei even wants those tracks used again.

Since the last two seasons of Sailormoon (S and SuperS) were redone by Cloverway (owned by Toei) and they stuck to the original tracks, it would be SMART of them to use the totally fine, absolutely acceptable Japanese tracks, in lieu of the 90’s pop DiC tracks.

113. If they re-dub Sailormoon, will they keep the original voice actors?

I doubt it. The last episode of Sailormoon SuperS was dubbed in 2000. The movies were distributed in 1999. Even back then a few of the actors (aged 30 and beyond) were getting tired of playing 14-16 year olds, though some now deny it.

One of the youngest actresses back then was pushing 30. Do you really think that nearing 40 that lady wants to voice Chibiusa again?

As nostalgic as you might be, it’s time to let the voice actors from 1995-2000 go. For more on my take on this, please view this video.

114. One day I wish she [Naoko Takeuchi] would answer questions that boggle the mind. Like, who exactly IS Sailor Cosmos? Is she from an alternate future, the actual future, etc. It seems clear that she is "The future Sailor Moon" as Takeuchi has stated, but does that truly mean she is Usagi, and which future is it?

Sailor Cosmos is Usagi from an alternate, future universe. In her timeline, she ran away from the final fight with Chaos, and as a result, everyone and everything died. All that was left were Chaos, Cosmos and an empty universe.

She spent an untold amount of time (probably more than a year) running, before she went back through time herself to fix things. In doing so, she wound up in an alternate universe from her own, "ours" if you will. In order to lower everyone's suspicions, she disguises herself as the most innocent thing she can think of, a baby. (Chibi Chibi)

Later when Usagi is reborn in the Cauldron, she's given a choice.

Option A. Start a new life altogether with everyone.

Option B. Continue as she was.

Usagi chooses option B.

As you'll see in the Sailormoon R manga, King Endymion states that Usagi married at age 21, and had Chibiusa at age 22. If "our" timeline's Usagi had taken Option A, this is where she would have gone.

But throughout the end of the Dark Kingdom saga and several more points in the series, "our" timeline's Usagi doesn't want the throne. That doesn't mean she'll "never" become queen, it means that she wants the life she's used to. (Being a Senshi, tons of friends, etc.)

Our Usagi chooses Option B. Thus she marries Mamoru at the end of Stars (at age 16 instead of 21) and she finds out at the wedding that she's already pregnant with Chibiusa. (She will be 17 when Chibiusa is born, instead of 22. They share the same birthday.) This is where Parallel Sailormoon fits in just perfectly.

115. {In Parallel Sailormoon} It said "In July 1999, in a certain city, in a certain dimension," etc., so I thought that was when the story took place. So that's just when it was written?

Yes. The story was written in July of 1999 and published in September of that year in the Materials Collection artbook. Originally it was a story written for the year of the Rabbit (in Chinese astrology) and it takes place 15 years after Stars.

Parallel Sailormoon does NOT take place in 1999.

If it did, Stars (which takes place in 1996-97) would look VERY weird. One of two things would have happened here. Either…
A) The Sailor Senshi would be over 30 yet still in high school. Or…
B) The Sailor Senshi would be a bunch of bruised and boo-booed adolescents, having had daughters WAY before puberty, which would be nearly impossible to do. Also, it would make their families’ very sad.

116. I just got the last Tokyopop StarS manga from eBay. Usagi/Bunny/Serena marries Mamoru/Darien right after Galaxia dies. And she’s pregnant!? OMG is Sailormoon supporting teen pregnancy???

O_O Ah… um…. Well… err…

117. I read a scanlation from the Materials Collection artbook that says Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion is a parent. Is this true? And who are her children?

It’s true that it says that, but no place in the actual manga does it state anything about her child or children. Some fans take this to mean that she looks upon the soul butterflies as her “children” but of course that makes zero sense, as those “butterflies” are the souls of the dead, just on their way to the Cauldron.

Other fans dismiss this line as yet another idea that either Naoko, her editor Osabu (Osa-P) or someone at Kodansha forgot about or nixed. In truth, we may never know.

118. Yo! Codename Sailor Earth!! How come some questions you answer angry and others you don’t?

It’s all in how an email is written. You see the questions I post are cut out from the emails I receive. (And I do sometimes get the same question from more than one Moonie.) The rest of the email influences my response, greatly.

A lot of my negative posts are based on emails like this:

“Hey STOOPID! Ur dumb bitch who should die. Why? Cause you said Kousagi wuz born in 2000-something. DUMMY! Story in 1999!” ~ Mr. Mark 8890

Or this:

“Dearest CSE,
It has come to my attention that you have no idea what is going on and cannot read Japanese. My name is Janice, and I know better than you. True, I never finished reading the manga, and I stopped watching the anime after they brought in Sailor Uranus, but even though I am only 19 I KNOW I know better than you, because I read a joke on Genvid.com that states that Kousagi’s story takes place in 1999, meaning that Usagi gave birth to her in 1991. Same with Ko-Mina, Ko-Rei, Ko-Ami and Ko-Mako and their mothers. This also means that Usagi must have been 11 years old upon her daughter’s birth, and around 4 when Chibiusa was born, unless this is future Chibiusa and her real birth is in limbo due to Usagi being a toddler when she should have been born. This also means that Mamoru must have impregnated her the day they met, which is not unimaginable, since in the Sailormoon R movie they met when she was 3. Or it means that neither daughter exists, and you have disrespected the community by posting this horrid misinformation.

Please correct this information. I’ve already told everyone at the Wiki I edit that is the closest thing to an official site because fans actually READ my articles, that if you do not stop I will be posting about you on my Wiki Blacklist. Because at age 19 I am that much more adult than you will ever hope to be.

Please do not lie and say I was flaming you, this is me helping you.

Can you see just how rude and VERY stupid these morons are? Imagine fielding about five of “Janice” and 12 of “Mr. Mark 8890” A DAY. Every single day. On ALL of my accounts. Yes, even MySpace.

Now, if you’d like me to post the answer to your question in a polite, adult fashion, all you ever have to type is this:

“Dear Codename Sailor Earth,
I heard that Usagi was 4 when she had Chibiusa. Is that true?
Mina”

See how short that was? You can even save yourself time by skipping the “Dear CSE” line if you wish. ^_^ Then all I have to do is answer you like this:

“That’s just a rumor from 2002. Usagi was 17 when Chibiusa was born and 25 when she had Kousagi. July 1999 is only when PSM was written. That’s NOT when it debuts.”

See how easy?

Remember, DON’T be a know it all, DON’T be a waste-of-life Bully.

Just be NICE.

119. Hey, you’ve been picking at Genvid. Do you hate them?

Nope! But I have noticed that they don’t always finish their research, they’ve posted jokes in the same areas as “facts” and on their forums, I’ve been called a bunch of moronic names. Why? Because I actually READ the WHOLE manga, and they clearly did not. Jealous much?

But the owners of the site do not call me names, and just want to make people happy. Really that’s all.

120. Are these pictures real?

WOW!! Holy shit that is amazing. Look at the detail!! GOD I wish I could draw something like this myself.

Oh but you’re not going to like my answer.

The answer is “no”.

Can you see the signature on these pictures? That is the signature of Marco Albiero. Who is he? One of the COOLEST anime artists ever born, that’s who!!

He started publishing comics at just 16 years of age, and can draw ANYTHING you can imagine. Whatever he sees in front of him or in his head, KABLAM and it’s on paper. He is THAT awesome. He’s done countless Fanart pieces for all kinds of video game and anime titles.

But this is not the end of the story…

Toei Animation saw the above Fanart, and have since commissioned him to draw official art for the Italian re-release of Sailormoon. His artwork is now (as of 2011) coming to the US in the form of Wall Scrolls, T-shirts, cards and more!

So are the above art pieces are NOT official. But look what IS:

Why is Ami’s hair green?

121. Is Sailor Luna a real Senshi?

Although Naoko Takeuchi drew a few pictures of Sailor Luna, the character only exists in the live-action (and don’t believe the hype, it’s not very good) PGSM series.

Outside of a few random short pictures in the reprint manga, Luna is NOT a Sailor Senshi in the manga or anime.

Toei thought she would be a “cute” replacement for Chibiusa, since they hated Chibiusa and they also hated Mamoru. More than half of PGSM was just the writing team trying to keep Chibiusa and Kousagi out of existence, by splitting up Usagi and Mamoru. (Ah but in the final act, we see that they failed. MWAHAHAHA!!) Not one of these geniuses thought about how odd it is for ADULT Luna to turn into CHILD “Sailor Luna”. (Perhaps they were trying to copy Chibi Chibi/Cosmos as well?)

The closest thing we see to a Mau Senshi is Sailor Tin Nyanko.

Furthermore, Luna doesn’t have a Sailor Crystal or her planet’s Starseed. Thus she doesn’t count.

122. We see Usagi at the arcade a lot. Does she own any home consoles?

Yes she does! ^_^ Naoko Takeuchi has drawn Usagi playing with a Gameboy, and Usagi and Shingo share a console, though whether it’s a Sega Genesis or a Super Famicom is a little hard to tell. (It’s a small panel.)

In episode 64, Shingo is seen playing a Sailor Moon game on Super Famicom:

In the Codename Sailor V manga, Minako’s family owns a console as well. It’s part virtual reality, part Colecovision and part Atari.

123. So why did Cartoon Network cancel Sailormoon?
^_^ (This was asked by a good friend.)

So to understand why Sailormoon was yoinked from Cartoon Network, we have to go back in time.

1997 Cartoon Network brought Sailormoon to the Toonami block. It was the only show on the entire channel that featured a mostly female cast in STRONG roles. (Powerpuff Girls wouldn't have their own show for another year.) It was also one of the few non-Hanna/Barberra or "What a Cartoon" shows with the prospect of new episodes. (The other two were DBZ and a year later Reboot.)

Now in 1998, DiC (via The Program Exchange) finally finished dubbing and editing the last episodes of Sailormoon R. Until this point, Sailormoon had been in storyline limbo, ending at a cliffhanger at 65 edited-to-hell episodes. The final 18 episodes closed out the second season's plotlines, BUT it also paved the way for season three.

Here's where trouble starts.

Now despite the toyline, Sailormoon was originally for ADULTS. Sure it lacked specific words beyond "Damn, Hell" and the like, but the violence, nudity and jokes of the series were aimed at teens and adults. The manga being very gory and sexual. (Toei Animation is run by creepy perverts. They made the series TV-14, but aimed a kids and baby toyline. EEk.)

While Sailormoon and Sailormoon R were deemed "censorable" by the then Disney owned DiC, Sailormoon S pushed the limit. Each episode deals with enemies ripping out peoples' hearts (in the form of heart crystals), death, zombies, guns, needles and of course, the lesbian couple Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune. This isn't even the tip of the iceberg!!

Now DiC was losing rights to Sailormoon, and just before they did, they released all three Sailormoon movies. Cartoon Network would not start airing them until right after DiC lost their deal with Toei. Then in 2000, a new company called Cloverway (owned by Toei Animation) produced seasons 3 and 4. (S and SuperS)

Cartoon Network had more than a few problems. Although Cloverway had censored the two seasons, Cartoon Network wanted them to censor more. So the series was delayed a while, and two episodes were yoinked briefly, so that Cartoon Network could re-re-edit the seasons.

They got around the lesbian issue by claiming that Uranus and Neptune were just "touchy feely cousins". (EEEEEW!! Sailor Jerry Springer?)

Halfway through, Cartoon Network took issue with alot more than the initial (somebody dies in each episode) problem. They had somehow not been told about the character Hotaru, an innocent Goth girl with a demonic spirit possessing her, a second soul called Sailor Saturn (the Senshi of destruction) and that whole pesky business of Chibiusa/Rini being killed by this girl... who also has a crush on her. (Wait what?)

SuperS was delayed when the main story arc centered around Chibiusa falling in love with a Priest named Helios, who is over 1000 years old, and comes to her bedside every night in the form of a Pegasus. (I can't make this up.) Also, there was issue with the new villains:

The Amazon Trio are three cross dressing men. One attacks older women, one tries to seduce young girls (by young I mean the youngest is 10) and the third is Gay and attacks men and young boys. (Again, one is 10.)

The Amazoness Quartet (no relation) are four young girls (ok, they're 1000 years old, but physically they look about 12) who wear barely anything and commit crimes.

Now somehow, Cartoon Network got around to showing all of this. They moved Sailormoon from 4 pm to 4:30, and the series did really well. Toys were sold, merchandise was made, things looked great.

UNTIL!!!

Cloverway pitched to Cartoon Network the final season, Sailormoon StarS. The manga of which was already on store shelves.

They might as well have gone outside to play in traffic. It would have been quicker.

StarS is the most adult of the series, and absolutely un-censorable.

The first 6 episodes alone deal with drugs, death, violence, rebirth, all amplified to a new level.

Then from episodes 173-200 we have villains dressed like dominatrix’s and three cross dressing new Senshi ~ The Starlights.

By day, Taiki, Yaten and Seiya are disguised as a boy band, looking for their lost princess, Kakyuu.

By night, they are three dominatrix-clad ALLEGED superheroes. I say alleged because they have this bad habit of um... well... trying to kill innocent civilians once they've been possessed.

Oh, and Seiya is Gay for Usagi. Tries to take advantage of her a few times.

There is so much death in these episodes! The villains are actually re-animated bodies being controlled by the evil psychopath, Sailor Galaxia. She wants to be the only living person in the universe, and own the Starseeds of every Sailor Senshi in existence. (Starseeds are your life essence. Without it, you're either dust, or if your not a Senshi, a really ugly corpse.) By the time we even see Galaxia, Earth is the final planet still alive. Everything else is DEAD.

Then in the last 4 episodes, all of the main cast (except for Usagi, Chibi Chibi, the Starlights and the evil Sailor Galaxia) die. And I mean horrible. Ripped apart, shot, stabbed, it's just a mess! Then Galaxia fuses with Chaos (the oldest and biggest evil in the universe. He's actually been after Usagi since her past life on the moon. Long story.) and becomes more powerful.

So how does Usagi take out this evil Galaxia bitch? By stripping down naked, flying into Galaxia's attacks, reaching into Galaxia's soul, purifies her inside and out, and then shares a meaningful conversation with her... and by now they are BOTH nude.

Well everyone after that is restored to life, Usagi and Mamoru embrace, and the anime ends with Usagi (age 16) planning a wedding to Mamoru.

Cartoon Network FREAKED!!

Needless to say, the show was put on immediate hiatus, and the last reruns left the channel in 2004.

PHEW!! That's alot to digest! Now for a pictorial of why the series is NOT meant for kids, check this out: http://moonsisters.org/moonsisters/mysterymoon/GrowUpAlreadyPeople.htm

124. Why do some Sailormoon fans get upset with the Mixx/Tokyopop/Chix Comix version of the Sailormoon manga?

Well, there’s a few small reasons.

For one, a few panels in each issue had some ad-lib writing. For example, in the “Battle Exam” mini-saga, Tokyopop adds a panel where Rei says she watches Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Ah if there was no internet TV back then, and Rei says in the SAME PANEL that she does not own a TV, how the hell can she watch BUFFY??
(And Why? That show was so fucking dark and dramatic.)

Another problem is that half of the cast were given DiC names. This was a HUGE problem to most pure Sailormoon fans, but it was done to tie-in with the dubbed anime on Cartoon Network.

Also, there were some characters with mistranslated names. In some panels, Sailor Pallas was incorrectly called “Sailor Pails”. Name changes often made the stories harder to follow.

They would also re-print interviews with Naoko Takeuchi, and alter her lines so it would seem like she was talking to a Mixx employee, instead of speaking at a Kodansha panel.

A lot of the color artwork would go missing from each novel, to save money.

They hired a fanfic writer to write 8 novels based on the uncut anime, but with US pop culture thrown in.

Fans also take issue with the fact that they never even bothered to bring over the artbooks or Codename Sailor V, and that in the issue where Chibiusa and Usagi swap ages, references to Chibiusa’s former existence as Black Lady were deleted.

One more problem too, was that they allowed SOME bookstores like Barnes and Noble, to edit the pages further. The Barnes and Noble print of Sailormoon Graphic Novel #5 has an ugly stamp in the center of the contents page, and censors out some of the action and romance scenes.

Outside of this though, the Tokyopop team did what they could, and the manga was released fairly uncensored.

As of September 13, 2011 you will be able to buy the Kodansha reprints of the Codename Sailor V and Sailormoon manga, UNCENSORED, UNCHANGED and with the original names of the characters. Tokyopop lost their license to the series in 2005, and their books are now long out of print.

Buy them legally below:

125. I heard that Sailormoon was licensed by Sanrio, and that’s why pictures like this one were on the official Sailormoon page. Is that true?

Well, no. That’s a cute idea though. I’d LOVE a “Sailor Kitty” since I am a collector (Hush!!) but no. Sanrio has had NOTHING to do with Sailormoon. These images were done by Naoko Takeuchi and the website staff. (Bandai, Kodansha, Toei, etc.)

126. Did Marco Albiero do this picture too?

No, that’s a Naoko Takeuchi image from the old layout of the official website. But Mr. Albiero must have taken inspiration from it:
Even the same wand!

127. {About the same picture} Why is it that some images of Sailor Moon ~ Even drawn by Naoko Takeuchi ~ have the WRONG items?
Good question! There could be a number of reasons.

For starters, for pictures where we see a different incarnation of the Crescent Moon Wand, it could be a nod to the original Queen Serenity, who used it as her sole weapon against Metallia and Nepherenia’s evil. Maybe it was destined to be the #1 weapon of choice for each heir, since it uses the Silver Crystal?

Another reason could be merchandise. Bandai had control over a lot of the images of the site between 2003-2010. The first two years, they released new versions of Sailor Moon’s S brooch and other later series items, because Toei in their (less than) infinite “wisdom” decided to screw up PGSM further by handing Sailor Moon almost ALL of her weapons and brooches…. BEFORE Queen Beryl is defeated. Yes, they were THAT greedy for money that they tried fast-forwarding Sailor Moon’s powers, and as I recall making her partially insane in the process. (Yet another reason why I still boycott PGSM.)

Each time Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon have an upgrade, their old items either morph into new ones, fade away or have been destroyed. There are items though, such as the Crescent Moon Wand that disappear and re-appear without an explanation. In the manga, the Senshi are also able to access their old powers, hence where Sailor Venus sometimes appears in later issues as Codename Sailor V. Even though they outgrow these powers, they can still use them.

128. Are these pictures real or Fanart?

Believe it or not, they’re REAL! These were drawn by Naoko Takeuchi, and colored in Copic markers, just as SailormoonR was getting started.
