Faq/Info on Sailor Moon

Season 1

What is Sailor Moon? Many people have asked that question and, well, this section of my website should answer it. Sailor Moon is a Japanese animation or Anime cartoon. Its popularity has zoomed through the roof making it one of the number one Animes in Japan. It's also pretty popular here in the U.S. too. Sailor Moon was able to span 5 seasons. Unfortunately, the U.S. only got seasons 1 and 2 at first. But due to recent overwhelming responses to the airing of Sailor Moon on Cartoon Network, the demand for more Sailor Moon was heard. Thanks to all the fans, the US has now aired seasons 1-4! And rumors have it that season 5 is under way. So back to season 1..Sailor Moon is about a young teenage girl (14) named Serena who one day found these kids tormenting a cat. That cat was no ordinary cat. When Serena found it, there was a band-aid on its head. When she took it off, a cresent moon appeared on its head. After that, the cat ran away and Sailor Moon went to school. When she got home, she took a nap only to be awakened by that same cat. Surprisingly, the cat began to talk. Automatically, Serena assumed she was dreaming because..well..cats dont talk, but soon she realized she wasnt dreaming. The cat introduced herself as Luna (there is a picture of her on the pic at the top, next to Serena). She told Serena that she was "the sailor scout of the moon" Serena didn't believe it because that would be too much like her favorite video game, Sailor-V. To prove it, Luna jumped into the air, and magically, a locket appeared. She told Serena to take it, hold it up, and say these words:"Moon Prism Power!" So Serena did as she was told and then all of sudden she started to transform until finally, she became Sailor Moon. She couldnt believe what had just happened. Then, she heard Molly, her best friend, calling for help. Quickly, she rushed, with Luna, to a jewelery store where Molly appeared to be in trouble. Molly was being choked by her mother,but apparently, it wasn't her mother. Instead it was one of Jaedite's droids from the Negaverse (you'll find out who Jaedite is in the "Enemies" profiles section of this site). He had sent it disguised as Molly's mother to suck people's energy so that it could replenish Queen Beryl's strength (you'll find out who Queen Beryl is in the "Enemies" profiles section of this site). Once Sailor Moon appeared at the scene, the droid quickly turned its attention from Molly to her. Sailor Moon didn't know what to do and was about to get hit by the monster when out of nowhere, a rose stoped the attack. From a window, a man in a black tuxedo and a cape, known as Tuxedo Mask (check pic on right). He told Sailor Moon some encouraging words, but she was still scared so Luna told her to hold her tiara and say:"Moon Tiara Magic!" So Sailor Moon gave it a try and her tiara transformed into a weapon like disk that she threw at the droid turning it to dust. After that, Sailor Moon would fight droids sent by Jaedite and eventually defeat them. Soon Sailor Moon met the other Scouts. Sailor Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus (that's the order in how each scout arrived). Each one possesing the power of their planet (you'll find those out in the character profiles). Eventually, the scouts defeat Jaedite, and Queen Beryl's other henchmen, Nephlite, Zoicyte, and Malachite. Finally the scouts battle Queen Beryl herself, who turns into Queen Metallia during the Final Battle. That is the end of season 1. DiC has made some altercations to the original, japanese, versions of the episodes. Instead of just translating them, they overly changed them (and not very well either)and sometimes even left out complete episodes. They were striving to make it more of an "educational" show.

Season 2

Part 1

Season 2 was a better season of Sailor Moon because it had more of a story line to it. In season 1, it was more of an introductory season where you meet all the scouts and find out about each one, but in season 2, a story begins. The first enemies are Alan and Anne who are aliens from the Negaverse. They came to drain the energy of people and other life forms to feed to their tree, The Doom Tree. Alan and Anne disguised themselves as human beings and lead a normal human life during the day. They even went to a school, the same one that the scouts do, but when they are at home, they are busy planning out ways to steal energy. Alan asks Anne to choose a "cardian" from a group of cards to do their energy stealing for them. So like the droids of Jaedite, these droids do basically the same thing. The scouts each time battle these monsters and defeat them. Later on they get new powers because the monsters get stronger every time. Alan and Anne werent always evil. Alan fell in love with Serena, but he didn't know what that feeling he felt towards her was. Anne fell in love with Darien. They each had feelings (of love) but they didn't know what they were feeling. So they continue to steal energy from people and when they do, that energy turns into negative energy which they feed to the Doom Tree. In the final episode of Alan and Anne, the Tree gets fed up with the negative energy and explains to Alan and Anne (who were temporarely killed by the Tree) and the scouts about its history. The Doom Tree was once known as the Tree Of Life and Alan and Anne and everyone else from their species were good. Then evil took over most of them and all that remained were Alan and Anne. They wanted to give the tree energy because it was too weak, even to speak. So they were never loved and began to feed the tree negative energy. So the Tree asked Sailor Moon to cure it from the negative energy and so she did. Anne came back to life and she and Alan had a chance to start all over again the right way. That was part one.

Part 2

Part 2 of Season 2 is the better half. In the first episode of Part 2, Rini appears. Rini is Serena's daughter from the future. .She fell from the sky after a cloud appeared. She was sent to find the Sylver Crystal and Sailor Moon because in the future, Tokyo is ruled by the Nega-Moon family. Rini carries around a sphere called Luna P. It has magical powers and it is also a communication device used to communicate with Sailor Pluto. With Rini came the Nega-Moon family. They, too, are trying to find the Sylver Crystal but they are also looking for her. Rubius, the leader of the Sisters, pinpoints crystal points so he sends one of the Sisters, either Prisma, Catzy, Avery, or Birdie, to spread negative energy at that point. Eventually they catch up with the scouts and Rini where they battle. Each time Sailor Moon would turn one of the sisters from being evil to good until Rubius was the only one left. They fought him in his ship. Then while it was blowing up, they teleported to earth and he died in his ship's explosion. After Rubius, the rest of the Nega-Moon family took over. The ruler is Prince Daimond and his henchmen are Saphire and Emerald. Wise Man also accompanies them.(All these characters mentioned in this Faq can be found out about more in the profiles section of my site). So Emerald sends out all these droids which ofcourse are defeated by the scouts. After that, the scouts go to the future to try to save Rini's mother, who is actually Sailor Moon in the future. In the future, Tokyo is called Crystal Tokyo and it is a frozen dead land. While they are walking through it, they meet King of The Earth . He explaine to them how Crystal Tokyo became the way it became. He warned them of dangerous obstacles and that not to give up. After he left, Prince Daimond appeared and took Sailor Moon...he is in love with her. Unfortunatley, Emerald is in love with him. So her jealousy put her to her own death. This happened when she was talking to wise man and he told her that she is going to be the Queen of Crystal Tokyo. He gave her a crown to wear and once she did, she died and turned into a huge dragon. The scouts fought it and defeated it. So all along, Wise Man wanted to kill her. Saphire knew that Wise Man was up to something. He did wanted to conquer earth with Daimond but Wise-Man had something esle in mind. Prince Daimond and Saphire wanted to live on earth because of its beauty but also because they were kicked out of it. Wise-Man wanted to destroy it. So Saphire stole the chip that controlled the energy level of the Dark Crystal. Wise-Man told Daimond that Saphire was a traitor and that he should die. Daimond told him not to kill him but he did anyway. So he killed Daimond's brother...who was aso Prisma's boyfriend. Wise-Man was now interested in Rini because of her immense power. He captured her and filled her head with bad memories and brain washed her, thus making her very angry and turning her into Wicked Lady.. She tried to kill her own parents and her friends. Each time the scouts would try to remind her of all the good times, Wise Man would refill her head with fake and bad memories. Later on, Daimond realizes Wise-Man's intentions on earth so he tries to stop him but he gets killed, and eventually Sailor Moon gets Rini back. All that's left is Sailor Moon, the scouts, Rini, and Wise-Man. Then the Final Battle Begins. Sailor Moon turns into Queen Serenity and faces Wise-Man. Each one using their crystal. Wise-Man seemed to be winning because the Dark Crystal's power was overwhelming the Sylver Crystal's power. Watching her mother fight made Rini cry which caused another Sylver Crystal that was hidden in her body appear. So she held it up and fought along side her mother thus defeating the Doom Phantom. The world was saved by Rini and her mother. After that, Rini got to home to the future where her parents and friends were waiting for her.
