final arc Sailor Moon Sailor Moon Always the darkest. This is the pinnacle of all Usagi/sailor moonThe battle so far, explains why enemies keep attacking and why she and her friends are able to continue reincarnating. While that makes sense—the villains are upping the ante and escalating their strategies with each new arc—it’s important that we get to see how bad Usagi’s situation really is. In all other arcs, she had her guardians and Tuxedo Mask supporting her until almost the very end, even if that was only in spirit form. But in the end, Usagi was left alone.
Much has been said about Usagi’s immaturity as a heroine. When we first meet her, she’s a crybaby and a bit of a whiner. Even in the past, as Princess Serenity, we’ve seen her give up at crucial moments and choose death after losing Endymion. In the previous four stories, she grew up little by little, learned to rely on others, and also learned to believe in herself. This is all Usagi using her powers, and it feels natural. We all have to grow up for a while (or at least learn to fake it well enough to get through it), and for her, that means overcoming the mistakes of past lives and battles to fully embody superhero form. With each subsequent transformation, sailor moon Become a stronger, more confident person. Is her last instinct still to sacrifice herself to save others? Yes, but she’s also more reluctant to play this card – coming to understand that it’s a last resort, seeing it less as “giving up” and more as the last gift she can give: Her gift of warmth and love to the galaxy sorely needed it.
We see this in both movies. Usagi’s trajectory begins with the normal world crumbling around her ears, and her daily life destroyed by the death of new villain Sailor Ginga Hand. Unable to cope, she represses her memories, but as Galaxia’s minions begin attacking the Sailor Guards and Chibiusa returns to the 30th century, she has no choice but to face the truth. Playing an important role among them are the new characters “Three Lights”, a boy band consisting of the Ko brothers, Yaten and Seiya. In fact, they’re actually the female Sailor Guardians, Sailor Starlight, and not only do they make Usagi look real, but they also tell her who’s behind it: Sailor Galaxy. Joined by the Starlight Princess Kakyu and a mysterious little girl named Chibi Chibi, they set out to fight Galaxia and save the galaxy.
Like many other female villains, Sailor Galaxy is a foil character sailor moon. In many ways, Usagi/Serenity has lived a charmed life – yes, she’s had her share of hardships, but to outsiders she looks like the luckiest girl in the world: she’s always had a loving family, loyal friends, a handsome prince and great power. All of her enemies wish this to some extent, though they each focus on different parts of it. Xinghe wants everything– She’s willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Like the Queen of the Dead Moon Circus, her primary wish is to live in the light, and her desire stems from the horrific circumstances she experienced before awakening as the Sailor Guardian. While these images are largely symbolic in depicting her past, the sword shown running through her gives us two potential explanations for what happened to her: She certainly could have suffered endless, painful The cycle of death and rebirth, or the sword impaling her may indicate that she has been sexually abused and tortured in the past. Both have dark parallels to Usagi’s history (remember she stabbed herself with a sword at least twice), but since Galaxia doesn’t have the support system Queen Serenity built for her daughter, she’s forced to take a different path The darker path.
The idea that Usagi has to fight everyone leads to this battle with Galactus being important to the movie as well as the overall arc of the series. This is evident in the director’s many visual homages to the original 1990s animation Takahashi Tomoya It was done very deliberately. The first theme uses moonlight legendwas the original opening theme for the first four seasons of the 1990s, while the second film used Sailor Star Songthe opening theme song of Season 5, Sailor Moon Sailor Star. Even the images used for these themes are callbacks to the original, and the film itself draws on Sailor Moon Sailor Star and Naoko Takeuchioriginal comics. All of which conveys the message that this is Usagi’s final battle, and the one she’s been heading toward since her reincarnation on Earth. She needs early struggles to build relationships with others, but also with herself and her own power. Season 1’s Tsukino Usagi could never become the new Queen of Serenity. Usagi’s Sailor Moon Sailor Moon universe Already halfway there, her final choice was ultimately a well-thought-out sacrifice made out of love for everyone in the galaxy, rather than any more selfish motives (even if they didn’t seem selfish at the time), the woman said She will become queen.
Sailor Moon Sailor Moon universe is a better duo than the movie Beauty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternity. It has a better story flow, and the greater freedom the director was given allowed the film to stay closer to the source material, both literally and thematically, without being weighed down by it. The animation is lovely and the art captures the wind and art nouveau style of the manga while utilizing some nice mythological imagery. The ending is both emotional and cathartic, keeping the story from feeling too final – we know what’s coming, and it’s going to be better than anything else. There’s some info-dumping (Sailor Lead Crow is particularly guilty of this) – and the little soft-shoe routine Sailor Starlight does during her transformation is pretty awkward – but overall, it’s a fitting way to end one of these reboots .
