‘Sailor Moon’ it is the quintessential magical girls animeand left us an iconic series in the 90s that adapted the manga of Naoko Takeuchi. Many years later came ‘Sailor Moon Crystal’a new adaptation more faithful to the original material and that has come in the form of an anime series and with several films adapting the final arcs.
The story focuses on the adventures of a teenage girl named Usagi Tsukinowho transforms into a powerful warrior known as sailor Moon and fight against those who seek to destroy the Solar System. Luckily, she has her companions, the Sailor Senshi, who also embody different cosmic powers and give him all the help he may need.
The Sailor Senshi have two identities: her human civilian life and her cosmic warrior identity.. Each of them can magically transform into her alter-ego, with their own set of abilities and a specific uniform for them.
Within these warriors, we have the Sailor Senshi of the Inner Solar System, which are associated with the planets Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus. Not only are they in charge of protecting the galaxy, they are also the reincarnation of ancient princesses and vigilantes who must protect Princess Serenity and her reincarnation on Earth.
Next on the list would be Sailor Senshi of the Outer Solar Systemassociated with Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Pluto, who have a slightly more complicated task and must protect the Kingdom of the Moon and other planets from any invasion.
The series features a good number of characters of all kinds with spectacular powers, but going simply to the group of protagonists we already have all kinds of disparate abilities and a good list of spectacular warriors. As each country has practically had its own translations and terms, for this guide we are going to try not to mess up the topic of names too much and stick mainly to the Japanese names of each of them.
sailor Moon
Usagi Tsukinowho we knew as Bunny in Spain and serene in Latin America, the unmistakable protagonist of the series and leader of the Sailor Senshi. When the anime begins, Usagi is a carefree and slightly donkey 14-year-old Japanese teenager who is impossible not to adore. Although she originally looks like a normal girl, as the series progresses she is found to be She is the reincarnation of Princess Serenity., the princess of the moon. As Sailor Moon, Usagi is also the Guardian of Love and Justice.
Although physically she is not as strong as some of her companions, she is the most powerful Sailor Senshi with incredible healing powers, as well as the ability to manifest wings and generate bursts of energy with which to attack his enemies. As if that weren’t enough, Usagi can also channel the energy of the other Sailor Senshi to increase her power.
Sailor Mercury
Ami Mizunois a teenager who can transform into Sailor Mercury, the Guardian of Water and Wisdom, and invoke their powers.
Sailor Mercury’s powers are closely related to water, as she can manipulate it in both its liquid and solid forms, and can also create a mist to blind her enemies. Ami also usually has a lot of ingenuity to make plans, since she is very intelligent, and she is very good at technology.
Sailor Mars
King Hino She is a high school student and also works as a miko (shrine representative) at a Shinto shrine and in fact Naoko Takeuchi created the character based on her own experience as a miko when she was young. Rei has a fairly calm personality in her daily life, although she becomes much more fierce when she transforms into Sailor Mars, the Guardian of Fire and Passion.
Can control and summon fire to attack your enemies, although unfortunately they do not usually serve to do too much damage and is dedicated to leaving them out of combat until other more powerful Sailor Senshi enter the scene. Her abilities don’t end there, as she has a certain power of clairvoyance, can ward off evil spiritsand even make certain divinations on the fire.
Sailor Jupiter
Sailor Jupiter, Guardian of Thunder and Valorshe is first introduced to us as a student in Usagi’s class called Makoto Kino.
In his human form, Makoto is already able to take on his enemies with just his brute force., being very physically powerful and the “muscle” of the team. Also as Sailor Jupiter can manipulate lightning and launch energy beams, and even has some power on Earth. These elements are not as powerful as the fire and water of her companions, but she manages to channel a lot of energy through them.
Sailor Venus
The last of the Sailor Senshi of the Inner Solar System. Minako Aino She was the protagonist of the manga ‘Codename: Sailor V’, which Takeuchi created before ‘Sailor Moon’.
What Guardian of Love and Beauty, sometimes also acts as a decoy for Sailor Moon due to the physical resemblance between the two and as a bodyguard for Princess Serenity. Like Usagi, her powers are based on love and she can alter the emotions of her targets. Although they are not very showy powers at first, they are very effective in combat and can also run and jump surprising distances.
Sailor Uranus
We jump to the Sailor Senshi of the Outer Solar System with Haruka Ten’o, who turns into Sailor Uranus and the Guardian of the Sky. Although she has some abilities similar to Sailor Jupiter because channeling her powers entails “shaking the Earth”, He has a great affinity with the air and the sky and can manipulate the wind and light.
He also possesses the Sword of Uranus and is physically stronger than Sailor Jupiter. If all this seems little, Haruka is also an expert in martial arts and has psychic abilities, the complete package!
Sailor Neptune
michiru kaiou is the alternative identity of Sailor Neptune, Guardian of the Oceans and partner of Sailor Uranus. In both anime and manga she is the epitome of elegance and femininity. Obviously, her powers are related to water, although she also has psychic and precognitive abilities with which to detect the presence of evil beings. She also possesses the Mirror of Waterdeep, with which she can summon devastating attacks.
Sailor Neptune is located on the farthest planet from the Moonso she is basically in charge of the first line of defense and is considered one of the most powerful Sailor Senshi.
Sailor Saturn
Hotaru Tomoe it is Sailor Saturn, Sailor of Birth and Destruction. Already with this title it can be foreseen that her powers promise destruction, perdition, death… and luckily, also rebirth.
Though Sailor Saturn’s powers have given her a reputation as a goddess of destruction and can take down entire galaxies they also have a but very fat Using the full potential of your powers is a tremendous expense, so when used, Sailor Saturn dies and is reborn as a baby.. On a smaller scale, he can also create force fields, energy bolts, and even heal wounds.
Sailor Pluto
Sailor Pluto completes the group of Sailor Senshi of the Outer Solar System and is known as the Guardian of Time and Space. In his human identity he is called Setsuna Meiou, and is the oldest and most experienced of the Sailor Senshi.
It is often considered the most powerful of the group and is tasked with guarding the Time Space Gate so no one can use it without permission. Her powers are rooted in darkness and space and time, though she can only control the latter under certain circumstances.
Sailor Chibi-Moon
This is the Sailor Senshi form that the little girl assumes. chibiusa, so let’s give it a place of honor. It is the future daughter of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Maskand he still doesn’t control his abilities very well.
Yes indeed, Sailor Chibi-Moon (named to differentiate it from Usagi’s Sailor Moon) has the potential to be one of the most powerful Sailor Senshi, as can be seen when she is transformed into her evil form. For now, she has powers very similar to Usagi’s, although somewhat more decaffeinated, and she can transform into Super Sailor Chibi Moon and Eternal Sailor Chibi Moon.
