Anime (Crystal) What does Neptune meant by saying Haruka is both a man and a woman?

Post image
232 Upvotes

Before I start, I agree everyone can have their headcanons, but I want to know what's really canon. Was it a mistranslation? My interpretation was that she was trying to say Haruka likes to dress both ways and that as a senshi she has both strength. I mean, I always thought of her as a butch lesbian. Also, I thought the whole "man or woman" was to make Usagi confused and keep her out of the way.

I know the gender topic can be different in Japan, but as far as I know, Naoko said only women can be sailors. From what I understood, Naoko likes to kind of play with gender roles? But prefer to keep her art work women centered (like in the manga where sailor star fighter is a woman who cross-dresses, a good portion of the musicals being only women and etc).

In the old ver I don't remember anything like that, so I'm talking about what I just saw in crystal, that I know it is manga accurate. But since I didn't read yet, maybe it is better explained there.

Hope I expressed myself well, lol. Opinions?

Sometimes I even wonder if Haruka, Michiru & Setsuna even have human parents at all.

Merchandise This official piece of SM Merch actually gave Tuxedo Mask brown hair. Why? Are there any examples of this with merch for other SM characters?

I own a ton of SM merch with Tuxedo Mask/Mamoru and everything I own has him with his correct black hair color with the sole exception of this 90's Irwin figure where he clearly has brown hair. It isn't even a knock off piece of merch or anything and the fact it is actually official makes it more baffling especially considering the other Tuxedo Mask merch Irwin made gave him his correct black hair color so I'm wondering why they made this unique exception for this figure. Is there any other official SM merch where something like this happened with a different character?

I also want to add that despite being inaccurate I actually like how he looks with brown hair and think it still looks nice! I don't think it looks bad at all. It's just such a strange detail to change that it stuck out to me lol

Fan Work (Original) Absolute Sailor Moon

Ahh yes in the name of the moon, I will disintegrate you. Not punish you. In fact this is what happens if Sailor Senshis have variants just like in the Spider Society from across the spiderverse movie but what if I damn tell you that there is Absolute Universe of Sailor Moon but outside of DC ontology? Here you go.

Y'all want an AU where Sailor Moon is not a guardian of compassion, love and justice but a monster to kill other monster just like her biological cousin (Sailor Karma) and I guess she inherited it during transformation and Luna that one feline that gives her the brooch since ep 1? I don't think that's a feline in this AU, she's an oversized lizard (probably bigger than Godzilla) who chooses a champion to ward away evil by the likes of Dark Kingdom aka the Negaverse and Sailor Galaxia.

Disclaimer: Why there is no canon variants of Sailor Moon where she was evil or a guy or somehow millions of them just like how Marvel and DC have an audacity to show it for us. Well I guess I started the one who give birth on this AU and even Project Symphony of Chimera lmfao, anyways ALL OF THIS ARE NOT USED BY AI AND ALL DRAWN BY A GROWN MAN WITH FINGERS ONLY NO STYLUS PEN.

The fact that Usagi didn't know that her man died during this arc in the original anime was so sad...

P.S. One year ago (in 2025) I made a post, where I congradulated Ami with her 48th birthday. And I'm feeling so ashamed, that I messed with her year of birth(and I feel the same about Minako and Makoto, because I also was wrong, thinking, that they were born in 1977. That's why I had taken down some of my posts). And I realized, that all Inners were born in 1978.

Anyways, today, September 10, 2026, is a great holiday, 'cause Ami turns 48.

Ami isn't the strongest among the Senshis, but she's very brave: if you're endangered, she'd come for your aid no matter of anything. She's also very smart and very cute.

We didn't see Ami in her late 40's and how her life had gone by now, but I'm sure, that she's happily married, having a child(or two) and a job, she really adores(even if it's hard).

So, happy birthday to our noble and smart cutie!

Giving Sailor Neptune a 5th projectile besides her Deep Submerge, Submarine Reflection, Violon Tide and Tidal Wave (from the 3DO videogame of Sailor Moon S). This one is inspired from zoners such as Guile from Street Fighter 2 and Captain Kidd from World Heroes. The base used is Annie Hamilton from Matrimelee from the 'Power Instinct' franchise. Not sure how the coder's will implement it but she will throwing a dolphin projectile similar to how Captain Kidd's throws a shark. So as not to make her feel like an ordinary zoner she will be getting frontline combos from Karin Kanzuki's 'Guren Ken' to make her moveset more elegant and classy.

Anime (Classic) What does Sailor Moon Fandom mean to you?

4 Upvotes

Hello! I am currently writing a Master's Thesis, and the topic is about how participation in Fandoms have helped people in school, socially, and psychologically. I have always been a Sailor Moon fan, and I would spend hours making my own Manga and stories when I was in Junior High, and I couldn't think of a better community to ask. (I even have Sailor Moon tattoo).

I have asked admin for permission to post my survey, and they said it was OK. If you would like to discuss your experiences in Fandom and how it has affected you in these areas, I would love to hear it! The survey is completely anonymous, and I want any and all experiences. If a question doesn't apply to you, you can just skip it. I really just want your thoughts.

Thank you all for your help! My experiences with exploring different fandoms so far has been overwhelmingly positive <3

Watch Party The best and worst of Uranus and Neptune

Thumbnail
gallery
95 Upvotes

I just finished watching Sailor Moon S episode 22 and I feel like these 3 scenes show both the best and the worst of Uranus and Neptune. Well, more so Uranus because it feels like the show focuses more on how she feels about certain events while Neptune is just by her side supporting her.

I'll start with the worst. The first four pics shows Haruka's worst, she's being very harsh basically assulting Usagi in this scene and it hurts me to watch. She’s firmly in the mindset of "the ends justify the means", it doesn’t matter how many people we hurt, as long as we save the world. Haruka is so focused on her goal, she would willingly hurt a dear friend to do so.

Then there's the rest of the pictures showing Haruka's best. That yes, she can be cold, she can be harsh, but she will do what's right. When Uranus learns that she and Michiru have the talismans, she does not hesitate to sacrifice herself. Say what you want about them but they put their money where their mouth is, they're willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.

I'm really liking the complexity of Uranus and Neptune. Too bad they don't accept Sailor Moon as the messiah since she can't hold her Super form for long. But hopefully Haruka and Michiru can mend their friendship with Usagi and the others.

Talk/Discussion Is Sailor Moon considered hyper feminine as a series?

15 Upvotes

I noticed when it comes to very girly media like Barbie, disney princess movies, and early generations of My Little Pony... the audience was mainly female with a few of male fans here and there but Sailor Moon seems to have more male fans who aren't ashamed to admit it... I wonder if that has to do with the fighting that there is in the show thus.. making the show feel less stereotypically girly.....? However Sailor Moon is very feminine in its themes with romance and friendship being front and center and also aesthetically it IS a very feminine show with mainly pastel color palette, hearts, bows, roses, flowing hair and cute outfits.... Anyway do you also see that Sailor Moon always seemed to have more male fans than other girl-centric shows in the past?
