Personality/Other: note
his psychic link to Usagi
(soulbond), as well as his
ability to call the Generals and
his connection to Earth. Mamoru
is deeply in love with Usagi
(whom he affectionately calls
Usako... he later shortens it to
Usa... creep...). But, before
their memories were restored and
they remembered each other,
Mamoru was the thorn in Usagi's
side and they made fun of each
other; this is because they kept
accidentally (read: karma)
running into each other. Mamoru
did however, find out that Usagi
was Sailor Moon early on, but he
never told anyone else.
In the Silver Millennium, the
meeting between Lunars and
Terrans was forbidden by the
gods, but Endymion and Serenity
fell in love anyway, despite the
consequences.
Prince Endymion was the Prince of
Earth... I suppose this means he
owns the planet because he has
the star seed for Earth (if he
was a girl, he would have been
Earth's Senshi). Endymion also
had Four Guardians (Jadeite,
Nephrite, Zoisite and Kunzite)
who helped protect and advise
him. You can say that they were
*his* version of the Inner Senshi
for Princess Serenity. The
Guardians were later brainwashed
by the Dark Kingdom and became
the Four Generals. Prince
Endymion (one of the only people
to oppose the Dark Kingdom) was
later killed by a
Metallia-possessed Beryl out of
jealousy. You could say that
Mamoru is one of Usagi's
weaknesses, and is often
brainwashed to fight against her
(i.e. by the Dark Kingdom, Black
Lady, Sailor Galaxia).
He can also heal himself and
others. He is almost as smart as
Ami and wears glasses for
reading. Mamoru is a quiet,
introspective sort and rarely
opens up to anyone except Usagi.
He has a well-developed
inferiority complex on whether
he's good enough for Usagi, he
thinks that he is nothing but a
burden on her because he has no
powers like the Senshi. Despite
his cold exterior, Mamoru is a
romantic at heart, passionate and
totally protective of Usagi.
On a side note, Usagi lost her
virginity to Mamoru in Tankubon
5, Act 18 of Bishoujo Senshi
Sailormoon... in fact, there is
significant evidence to prove
that Mamoru and Usagi are
sexually active. He also proposed
to her in Tankubon 16, Act 43.
They were married in Tankubon 18,
Act 52. The honeymoon preceded
the wedding! ^_~* [Refer to
"Usagi's Place"].
Back to business, Mamoru also
gets really, REALLY jealous. Just
check out Tankubon 8, where he is
jealous of *Haruka*!
He doesn't hesitate to lay down
his life for hers... multiple
times. His basic purpose in life
is just to be *there* for Usagi
when she needs him. He is the
rock she leans on when she's in
trouble. Mamoru is also very
protective of Small Lady, his
future daughter. He harbors
*only* fatherly feelings towards
her, thank-you-very-much! Though
this protectiveness did make
Usagi doubt herself (check out
the way he made up to her!
Infamous Tankubon 5 scene!!!)
Ahem... Mamoru is a
well-respected student and is
looked up to by the younger
students. He plays soccer, is
good with computers, has a really
*kakkoi* apartment (he lives by
himself [how he pays for the
apartment, I have no clue
whatsoever]), AND he owns a car!
(I don't think he has a
motorcycle in the manga, damn!
^_~*)
Went to Moto Azabu High School, a
really prestigious boy's school
on scholarship. Currently
enrolled in the K-O University
School of Medicine. He was
accepted to Harvard University,
but was waylaid by Galaxia.
Though he would like to become a
doctor someday, his true dream is
the same as Usagi's, to protect
the Earth together.
It is generally agreed that
Endymion later becomes a member
of the Neo Silver Millennium when
he becomes King, and thus enjoys
the same longevity and
youthfulness that Serenity and
the Senshi have.
The Golden Crystal, the
counterpart to the Silver
Crystal, was hidden inside of
Mamoru's body to protect it. The
Golden Crystal is the Earth's
star seed (as mentioned above).
When Mamoru thought that he was
worthless because he had no
powers to protect Usagi, he was
actually her greatest help. The
Golden Crystal inside him helped
give Usagi/Sailor Moon/Serenity
power whenever she needed it.
Usagi and Mamoru are like two
halves of a whole, and are
happiest when they are together
(the ultimate soul mate
principle!).
Endymion also shares a
homoeostatic link between
himself, the Earth, Illusion (the
holy place within the Earth, seat
of the Golden Kingdom), and
Illusion's priest, Elios. His
planet sigil, the quartered
circle, never appears on his
forehead.
