Sailor Moon Quiz

1. : Sailor V is really Sailor Venus, the fifth member of the team. In real life, the Sailor V comics were published first, before Sailor Moon. After the Sailor
Moon comic started, Sailor V was included in it as Sailor Venus. Unfortunately, DIC messed up the dub. The first Sailor Venus episodes had Sailor Venus appear,
everyone being told she's Sailor V, with Serena happy because Serena is a big Sailor V fan. The dub of those particular episodes took out all reference to Sailor V
except in the title.

2. : It's Artemis, Sailor Venus's cat. Luna is rather annoyed when she finds out. The dub goofs here. In dubbed episode 39, Luna and Artemis inexplicably refer
to a real Central Control. I would guess the episode was dubbed by someone who didn't see the episode where Central Control is found to be Artemis. Anyway,
ignore it. Central Control doesn't exist.

3. : Tuxedo Mask was split into two when revived after the battle with the Dark Kingdom. The Moonlight Knight held his love for Serena, so his regular self
didn't remember anything of her for a while.

4. : She is the daughter of Serena and Darian, time-travelled from the future.

5. : Sailor Pluto, who Chibi-Usa calls "Pu". The dub messes up the first occurrence of this by using Luna's voice and pretending Rini is talking to the ball instead
of using it as a communicator to talk to another person.

6. : The attack in the first episode, where she hurts the monster by crying. Usagi loses the first moon stick at the end of the first storyline and never gets it back,
though she does recover and use the silver crystal (which moves to her brooch). There is no explaination of why she stops using the disguise pen. (It is still around;
at least) . The explanation of why she can't use her moon tiara is that she has to really want to be Sailor Moon to use it. This immediately makes you wonder if she
uses it again when her mood improves. In (Japanese) episodes 98, 100, and 123, she does use it again, although the attack is stock footage, cut so that you can't
see that she wore a different brooch when the stock footage was drawn. The Sailor Scouts get new attacks in episodes 41-53. The new attacks don't appear even
once after 53 in the series except for Sailor Moon's, with no explanation why not. (They do, however, show up in the video game Another Story.) The real
explaination is that these episodes were something of a fill-in (the original comic is monthly, and the series is weekly, so they had to stretch it out). Note that in the
clips episodes (Japanese #89 and the first third of the SS special) no clips from these episodes are shown.

7. : YES. No, he doesn't come back in any way, shape, or form. This is not Marvel comics.

8. : From a Japanese book "Secrets to Sailor Moon": because there isn't one of the school's uniforms in her size.

9. : Tokyo, even in the dub. "Kitty Chaos" mentioned the name, and the episodes derived from the second part of Sailor Moon R refer to Crystal Tokyo. That
tower is the Tokyo Tower.

10. : They're really children of the tree, from which their race came. In a sense, this does mean they really are brother and sister (and they admit the tree is their
mother), but in another sense, they're no more brother and sister than Adam and Eve were. Take your pick.

11. : There is a scene in the manga which is commonly pointed to as evidence. (start of manga 6?). Nothing is shown explicitly, though.

12.: Anime hair colours are a stylistic convention and the characters' hair colours are almost never really what you see. Her hair is no more pink than
Superman's is blue.

13. : He certainly looks similar, and is voiced by Alan's original voice actor. It is conceivable that they're from the same race, but this is never stated. (They
definitely aren't the same person). The Sailor Moon R movie is often considered an attempt to redo the first Sailor Moon R story, so it is natural that the characters
would look similar.

14. : The shrine is based off a real one. The writing reads "Hikawa shrine", with the character for "fire" (hi) substituted for the one for "ice" (also hi) in the real
shrine.

15. : It is not a kanji and has no real meaning. Some people have suggested that it is a stylized "ne".

16. : Most of the enemies seem to die by other enemies killing them off, by running into their own attacks, getting caught in the destruction of their base, etc.
Metallia ("negaforce") is obviously killed at the end of the first series. It is arguable that they killed Kunzite (Malachite), although he really died from his own
reflected attack. Many youmas, etc. die, but they probably fall under the usual animation / comics rule that if you're artificial, it's not considered killing to get rid of
you even if you are a sentient being. In the manga, the Senshi do kill their enemies.

17. : This idea is stated in the Sailor Moon "Friends and Foes" children's book, in English. It is an idea which actually does come from the original manga,
though not the anime.

18. : Unknown.
