So, I never considered this, but what threats were present during Silver Millenium?

In the Dreams Arc (manga/Crystal), we see that QS, and not the Inner Senshi were the ones to fend off Nehelenia.

We don't, per se, see the Inner senshi do anything. The same is true relative to the limited panels featuring Queen Metallia and Beryl in the past, when the people of Earth waged war on the Moon (How? Was there a way they traveled to the Moon?).

We can presume that they experienced a relative period of peace, and that the Outers prevented most threats (Child soldiers too?), but now I am curious if the Inners really did anything, given that QS is usually shown wielding the Crescent Moon Wand/Staff and Silver Crystal.

This is from the Stars arc of the manga, but I'm curious, did the events of the Black Moon and Infinity Arc change the course of history?

Pluto, when we initially meet her in the future, was never intended to leave the Time Door.

She never interacted with anyone outside of Chibiusa. However, we see that she casually engages with Neo Queen Serenity in her throne room.

During SM, we see that QS goes to speak with Pluto, at her time door on Charon Castle, but here Sailor Pluto leaves of her own accord.

What else changed in the future?

I forgot where this one came from though I can't help but like it because of the face expression that Usagi makes.

So this has always somewhat bugged me about Guardian Saturn, but Sailor Saturn as a whole.

She's a radically different figure from Hotaru, but in a manner distinct from all the other senshi.

Hotaru dies in the Infinity Arc, which awakens Silver Millennium Guardian Saturn.

But then who is it that Usagi revives?

When we meet Hotaru in Dreams, she's not Hotaru Tomoe, but has the memories of Guardian Saturn, when she lived as Hotaru Tomoe restored to her, and manages to grant Crystal Power to the other Outers, sans Power Guardians, who are somehow independent from the senshi? Guardian Pluto was slain before Setsuna was, and she managed to survive.

Venus has Artemis and Rei, Phobos and Deimos, but then they're replaced by Guardians Venus and Mars?

Can someone better explain this?

I'm more so interested in how this applies to Saturn. She seems to have the more complicated backstory.

Tangentially related to a project/idea/plotbunny that's bouncing around in my head alongside all the other ideas/concepts/plots/stories in there that are... likely not gonna get made, if I'm being completely honest.

Planning on doing the Quartet and Saturn too, as well as their civilian/non-transformed versions/outfits and possibly Diana, if motivation doesn't abandon me halfway through like it usually does.

What are similarities and differences between Naoko Takeuchi, the creator of Sailor Moon and Rumiko Takahashi, the creator of Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, Ranma ½ and InuYasha?

Since Sailor Moon and Saint Seiya both share about teamwork and power of friendship and are popular in Europe and Latin America except in North America where only Sailor Moon is popular and successful there while Saint Seiya is unknown there. What made Sailor Moon so successful there while Saint Seiya failed to become successful there?

This grew out of my other thread on the Inner senshi and their duties during Silver Millennium.

Suffice to say, I'm not a fan of the dynamic set up in Dreams whereby the Inners are children, and PS is an infant within a modified Sleeping Beauty plot.

But...it did raise a decent headcanon for me...

What if, Dreams had focused on Queen Serenity and her arrival to our universe, with her having gathered a set number of Star Seeds to guard certain planets, that would help shape and guide the development of the Earth, alongside her.

Perhaps prior to her arrival, what ruled was Chaos...Nehelenia subjecting the young planet Earth to darkness, from the Moon (This would also explain Metallia.).

In Nehelenia's arsenal were her legion of Four Horsemen that wrecked havoc upon the Earth. Perhaps this was how our Solar System came to be ordered by Cosmos and Chaos banished, incrementally. This might also explain by the AQ were merely Stones, and later converted to Sailor Crystals proper. The potential existed within them to be something other, perhaps not senshi in the ordinary sense, but granted that privilege in the gifting of celestial bodies (Phobos and Deimos).

Perhaps they were caught up in the Titanomachy, and this is why they remember the White Moon Kingdom. They were counterparts to the Inners. This leads me to speculate that they don't necessarily have powers, in the same capacity, but are closer to what the Shitennou were. They can fuse their abilities with Chibiusa, but generally do not act on their own, while having limited abiltiies.

I’m actually still missing one piece of merch but sadly can’t find it.

There's two Sailor Moon references in remake animes based on two Rumiko Takahashi works: Lum does a pose identical to Sailor Moon on episode 28 of 2022 Urusei Yatsura anime and a parody of Sailor Moon appears on episode 23 of 2024 Ranma ½ anime set in festival.
