== The Dark Kingdom is behind Pluto's demotion to a dwarf planet. ==
It was just a matter of [[Incredibly Lame Pun|time...]]
Line 8:
The number of times she just ''barely'' manages to dodge an attack despite having no formal combat training violates the laws of probability. The sanest explanation for Usagi's incredible luck dodging attacks is that Jupiter taught Serenity a few things about self-defense in the Silver Millennium. The knowledge carried over to Usagi subconsciously.
This would also explain how she knows enough martial arts to pull off a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V980_NWYsmQ flying heel kick]
* If Silver Millennium's Jupiter was like [[Bleach|Tatsuki]], then surely she taught Serenity so much that Princess Serenity would be a black belt.
Line 16:
The original manga reason for Chibi-Usa turning back from [[The Dark Side]] was specifically Setsuna's love.
Setsuna was also the one who gave Chibi-Usa the cat Diana, a plot point later [[
* Oh, and Pluto has red eyes.
** In initial manga sketches Chibi-Usa had blue eyes, just like Usagi.
Line 28:
** Actually the reason for her fondness is quite obvious - ''anyone'' would get attached to cute Chibi-Usa if they were ''trapped in a time vortex all alone for eons at a time''. And Chibi-Usa is certainly cuddly enough...
== The Silver Millennium wasn't really a Utopia, but a dictatorship, with Queen Beryl being on the wrong side of propaganda. ==
* If we take it further, could be that the Ginzuishou is some sort of [[Gurren Lagann|Anti-Spiral]] drive, and everybody is turning to immortal being, but in eternal despair. A proof? If Crystal Tokyo was a perfect place, Sailor Pluto wouldn't be lonely, and Chibi-Usa wouldn't be bullied.
** No one said that Crystal Tokyo was perfect. It's just the next stage of evolution...the Ginzuishou controls time, rebirth and all that but it ''doesn't'' control the human heart. Uh...and Pluto was lonely ''even on her own planet''? Just like Neptune and Uranus.
** The Ginzuishou can't be an [[Gurren Lagann|Anti-Spiral]] drive - it powers the Moon ''Spiral'' Heart Attack.
== Humans and youma are the same species, and the Silver Millennium modified them; this resulted in the [[Balance Between Good and Evil]] being screwed up. ==
The Seven Shadows, who were prominent in the first major filler arc, all seemed to have been reincarnated into humans rather easily. The original versions of daemons from the manga (one of which appeared in the anime in Haruka's flashback) are referred to as "atavists": a regression in [[Evolutionary Levels]]. Messing with the personal [[MacGuffin]] of any character—soul mirror/star seed/whatever—seems to inflict or dispel the effect rather easily. This also explains why [[Earth Is the Center of the Universe]]; Chaos and its children are trying to reclaim their own.
== Each of the senshi represent different religions. ==
Line 70 ⟶ 72:
*** A surprisingly regular trope in Sailor Moon crossovers where the Senshi aren't instant allies.
== Pluto is a demon of [[Warhammer
Or is a former one, just so that she can fit into the above WMG. Also, the idea of Pluto with her fingers in the [[Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive|Gendo Ikari Finger-Steepled Pose Of Doom]][[Tradesnark™|(tm)]] saying "Just. As. Planned." is really creepy and plausible.
Line 77 ⟶ 78:
The other Sailor Senshi's real identities follow [[Theme Naming]]: their family names start with the kanji that is used in the name of the corresponding celestial body. For instance, the "tsuki" in Sailor Moon's "Tsukino" means "moon". Sailor Venus is the one exception. The kanji used in the name of the planet Venus is the kanji for the most common Korean family name, Kim. Koreans are discriminated against in Japan, dating back to the pre-World-War-II Japanese occupation of Korea, giving Minako's family a motivation to change their name.
* Actually, had Venus followed the [[Theme Naming]], her surname would likely be Kaneno or Kinzokuno ("of metal"), similar to how the other Senshi are named after elements associated with their planets (Mizuno - "of water", Hino - "of fire", Kino - "of wood"). The reason is simple: Minako was created for the ''Sailor V'' manga before ''Sailor Moon'' was even conceived.
** Actually it would have been Kinno (Similar as Makoto's but spelled with
*** You've used the wrong readings of the kanji. The Japanese names for Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter are Suisei, Kinsei, Kasei and Mokusei respectively. Point stands that the Senshi's names are derived from the kanji of the planet names though.
** Conversely, her surname might be a pun to the Goddess Venus herself, as "ai" also means love, and Minako is something around the lines of "Beauty Child".
== Minako subconsciously altered reality while disguising herself as Princess Serenity ==
When Minako was Sailor V her compact was powered by moonlight, and when she she looked at her reflection in it the moon symbol appeared on her forehead rather then the symbol for Venus. Furthermore, the only other Senshi with an unusual surname is Hotaru who is the Messiah of Silence who is the counterpart of Princess Serenity.
Line 198 ⟶ 200:
== Chibi-Usa is actually Rubeus and Usagi's daughter ==
Be it by force or not, Rubeus ended up impregnating Usagi at some undetermined time. Chibi-Usa and Rubeus share the red eyes (duh), but also note that Chibi-Usa's black moon powers (i.e. turning into Black Lady). It was probably amplified by the blood running in her veins.
** Not that I care too much, but why the sudden influx of Usagi/Rubeus speculation in the SM fandom? Don't they only have, like, four scenes
== Luna and Artemis are from the same planet as Jake, [[The Cat from Outer Space]] ==
Line 260 ⟶ 262:
* Endymion and Serenity conceived only one child who is a pre-teen after a supposed thousand years of marriage. That goes a fair bit beyond [[Chaste Hero]], [[Incredibly Lame Pun|or perhaps stops well before it]].
* The Inner Senshi in the present day were able to defeat the Black Moon Family, but in Crystal Tokyo their best (and only) plan was to convert themselves into [[Barrier Maiden|power supplies for the city's defense shield.]] Did they all go the way of [[Final Fantasy IV|Tellah]] or what?
* [[Put on a Bus|The Outer Senshi are nowhere]] [[
Where does this leave us? By my estimation, somewhere right around...
== The Time-Space Door is actually a [[Doctor Who/Recap/
== Dub!Fish Eye is a trans MtF. ==
Line 277 ⟶ 279:
* Romana?
* Or, alternatively, the Gates of Time are her TARDIS. The wibbly-wobbly interior is because she never put up a desktop background- the 'Fourth Dimension' we see is the true, untamed interior of a TARDIS.
* Considering the rumours going around back in the 1990s that Setsuna's dub name was going to be "Susan", Sailor Pluto isn't ''just'' a Time Lord - she's ''[[Doctor Who/Characters/Companions and Supporting Cast/Classic Series Companions#Susan "Foreman" (First Doctor)|the First Doctor's granddaughter]]''. She's certainly exhibited enough of The Doctor's powers... although regenerating into the same appearance (as shown after she died but got better) is something he hasn't (yet) figured out.<Ref>Although he eventually ''will'', as shown by [[Doctor Who/Characters/Doctors#The Curator|The Curator]] in the ''Doctor Who'' 50th Anniversary Special ''The Day of the Doctor''.</ref>
== Sailor Iron Mouse Was a [[Doctor Who|Time Lord]]. ==
== Chibi-Usa is not Mamoru's daughter. ==
Line 298 ⟶ 301:
== The Moon isn't ''supposed'' to be the center of the solar system. ==
A lot of people mention that it doesn't make sense that a relatively small planet's single moon is the center of the whole solar system's government. Maybe it wasn't originally that way, but Queen Serenity gained enough power that she engineered the Moon's rise to power? Perhaps she was from the Moon and married to royalty from Earth, but then later she became the ruler and decided to remake the way the solar system was governed to have the Moon Kingdom rule over all the others. This would explain why there is tension between Earth and the Moon. It would also explain why the Moon Kingdom simply has the ''Silver'' Crystal whereas Earth has a ''Gold'' Crystal. Perhaps her defeating Ice Princess Kaguya had something to do with it?
* This troper always assumed the Moon was something vaguely like the [[Justice League (animation)|Hall of Justice]] or Babylon5 in that it really existed only to be the seat of the moon kingdom, but wasn't actually a Kingdom in and of itself. It was just the seat of the High Queen.
* Another possibility to consider is that the original Earth Kingdom suffered a coup d'etat and went into exile on the Moon, thus becoming the Moon Kingdom.
Line 328 ⟶ 331:
Aside from the name, they're both monsterous women who need crystals (different reasons). Also for some reason, the anime design for Nehellenia includes an eye-like crown thing. In Eversion, {{spoiler|there is a giant eye in the room you meet her at.}} Mostly saying this because of the names.
== Usagi is one of the reincarnations of the [[Warhammer
We know he has been reincarnated many, many times in mankind's history. We know he has great powers. We know he hates non-humans. We know he is almost always a ruler. Who else could Usagi be?
* Since when does Usagi hate non-humans? Extending a welcoming hand to everyone, even eldritch abominations, is pretty much her defining characteristic.
Line 381 ⟶ 384:
== Sailor Pluto is related to [[Doctor Doom]] ==
[[Word of God]] is that Sailor Pluto is of [[Romani]] descent. Now who else do we know of who's also a time-traveling Romani sorcerer? Setsuna could be Victor von Doom's daughter... or alternatively she could be his ''mother'', after Doom liberated her from Hell.
== Sailor Mercury is a Time Lord ==
She's certainly smart enough, and at least in the first season she avoided violence. And that outfit she wore on her date with Urawa Ryo was straight out of the 1950s. Besides, [https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/7049665 would fan art lie to us?]
