Better than some of the weirder dark creatures that appeared in the 90's anime. Especially the later ones. Check out this bizarre choice: Taiyan, from 'Sailor Moon S'. Yes, she's wearing exactly what it looks like.

The anime had to come up with a lot more youma to pad out the runtime in comparison to the manga, which resulted in some... interesting designs.

"Moonlight. But…" She looks up, but the moon isn't visible from here. "Since Metalia blasted the moon, my compact has been taking longer to recharge."

Nooo. That was just her Compact, the thing she used to disguise herself as Sailor V instead being Sailor Venus. Her own power comes from her Sailor Crystal, which is basically her soul and is connected to the planet Venus.

Why did they move to Britain off-screen? To see how a more northerly location than Japan is being affected?

Metalia's been on a smashing spree, but Venus can only see what she's done to the moon.

While Senshi are connected to their planets, that doesn't mean their powers are tied to their planets. In the manga, Galaxia destroyed the homeworlds of the Starlights, but the Starlights still retained their powers.

In Sailor Moon, everything comes from the Galaxy Cauldron, in the form of Star Seeds, which despite the name is not limited to stars or planets, but also including all other life. Similarly, when they die, all life returns to the Galaxy Cauldron. Basically, Star Seeds are souls as far as Sailor Moon canon goes.

In the later chapters of Sailor Moon, we're told that when a planet is born, a Sailor Crystal is produced alongside it; Sailor Crystals are special Star Seeds (souls), that are paired with that specific planet and exist to guard it. However, we're also told at another point that Senshi and their equivalents have the souls of their planets--notably, when shit goes badly enough on Earth, Mamoru actually starts to sicken and die, as an extreme example. It's not an absolute thing though, because in the final chapter, Kakyuu and the Starlights have had their planets destroyed already. Senshi and their planets have a connection but they aren't one and the same, though as long as the planet still exists, it's Senshi can be reborn eventually.

Senshi essentially exist to be guardians/anti-bodies for their planet but aren't the actual planet.

This is enlightenment paul write from the main paragon line.So, can't he make a barely passable lantern by this point?I thought he could. Like not up to the standards of a regulation lantern, but maybe something he could use to charge.Or was that just rings?

This has been a consistent problem when it comes to creating tension in the plot, because Paul should technically be more than capable of making his own avarice tap pseudo lantern whenever he is left without his lantern for whatever plot related reason.


The usual answer is that by the time Paul notices he no longer has his lantern available his ring charge is already depleted enough that making it becomes almost impossible even at his levels of avarice efficiency.

The cross over episodes are usually hit or miss with star crossed being peak and the Sheda side road being a miss (for me), this one isn't doing much for me, so I think the best approach is going to be to wait a couple weeks for the episode to be done so I can finish it in one go.

That should say 'Nar-Heresh'.

My interpretation is that while the Crystals might be the power sources they use, they still use equipment to efficiently turn that power into something useful. Metalia doesn't want to destroy the Crystals -she's pretty sure she can use them- but she's perfectly capable of wrecking any magic-based equipment which survives from the old days and that would have an impact of Sailor Venus.

It started as a one shot just featuring her entered into a contest before being expanded into a full series IIRC, so probably classic case of "didn't think things far ahead to her having teammates" :V
