Luna identified Usagi is Sailor Moon, and I wouldn't be surprised if she used the logic of Sailor Moon as Champion of the Moon Kingdom.Īgain, for the people who watched Sailor Moon it was blatantly obvious for any number of reasons, but for the characters within the context of the show, it's completely understandable how clueless they were. Sailor Moon was chosen to be the leader of the new team of senshi on Earth, and as I understand it, Venus is only the leader of Guardian Senshi (of whom Sailor Moon is not a part) who protect the Princess, not Sailor Moon (those these thing overlap for obvious reasons). Sailor V as the moon princess might also have been very believable except for the information readers were armed with from the original Sailor V manga series, as well as her introduction as Sailor Venus, which throws off all logic. Naoko Takeuchi might just as well have created a story in which in Sailor Moon is the primary champion of the Moon Princess, but the two are completely separate people. Certainly, anyone who knows anything about generic plot lines could have anticipated it simply because she is the title character (and some of the obvious hints that were dropped throughout), but it wasn't until after the first season (or later in that season) that we learned of the Sailor Senshi = Princess of status quo. I might be the odd one out for saying this, but I don't think it's necessarily the case that because Usagi is Sailor Moon it would naturally follow that she is the Moon Princess, at least within the context of the first series. Even when everyone memories were "restored", it seems they are not quite at-the-ready, and the senshi and cats only recall things when something triggers a memory (else they might have known about Sailor Saturn, Pluto, and other information which was later revealed to them). Oops.Īs people have already said, Luna did not quite remember everything about the past in either the anime or the manga. then you're right.Īnyay, I think I'm probably just repeating everyone else. If you're trying to say that it's unlikely that Luna wouldn't be able to piece together that Sailor Moon is the Moon Princess. It wasn't until much later that Luna remembered more about her life on the moon (remember when it came as a big shock to everyone when she pointed up at the moon and said 'I come from there guyz'), so it wouldn't be so unusual for her not to remember that there wasn't a Sailor Moon back then. So that's why they thought that Venus was the Princess when she first showed up (albeit only temporarily in the Anime), because they already had four Soldiers, and she seemed to be the strongest so far. I doubt she would've thought it to be that easy (especially when you look at Usagi). When she met Usagi all she really sensed (probably) was that she held a (True) Star Seed, which she equated to mean she was one of the four Guardian Soldiers not that she was ACTUALLY the princess. All she knew was that she had to find the Moon Princess and the four Soldiers who were meant to protect her. Luna didn't remember a lot about the Silver Millennium at the beginning of the series.
