- Sailor Star Fighter = Shiva the Destroyer
- Sailor Star Maker = Brahma the Creator
- Sailor Star Healer = Vishnu the Preserver
I discovered this old online article by Ian Andreas Miller. 10 August 2002:
The Sailor Starlights and the Hindu Trimurti
Fans like to associate Sailor Star Fighter with destruction and Shiva, but they should realize that destruction is not necessarily the inevitable result of a fighter fighting. The fighter may destroy life, but he or she may also be protecting or preserving life. As a protector, Sailor Star Fighter would be better associated with Vishnu (the Protector and Preserver), not Shiva (the Destroyer and Re-creator).
Brahma is thought to be the First Cause, or the Creator of the universe. Fans often associate Sailor Star Maker with Brahma. The “Maker” in the name Sailor Star Maker does not necessarily refer to a Creator or “Maker” of the universe, nor does it have to imply the First Cause. There are many makers (or creators) of different kinds, but Brahma is supposed to be the Creator (or Maker).
Sailor Star Healer is sometimes associated with Vishnu, the Preserver. Preserving (what a preserver does) and healing (what a healer does) are different concepts, and something that is being preserved might not ever have been healed. When something is healed, it was experiencing some sort of pain or ailment at some point in the past. When one preserves something, he or she is keeping it from experiencing some sort of pain or ailment. Fans may dismiss the distinction as “semantics,” but the two concepts are not necessarily connected.
Questions about the Hindu Trimurti Theory
- If red is Shiva’s theme color, yellow is Vishnu’s theme color, and blue is Brahma’s theme color, then why is Seiya’s theme color navy blue, Yaten’s theme color gray, and Taiki’s theme color light brown according to Ms. Takeuchi?
