How The Asteroid Senshi Came to Be.

[Sailor Venus]

How did they come to be? Shouldn't the "future" senshi be the daughters of Ami, Rei, Mako, and Minako? That's how it works for the Moon family...so wait...omg

Are the Asteriod Senshi the future daughters of the Sailor Senshi? What about the Outer Senshi then? Michiru and Haruka are lesbians so XD how does that work out?

Interesting...or not...this might have been answered in the anime/manga I'm just not sure.

[Creshosk]

The outer might be more eternal. Sailor Saturn and Pluto could be the same ones that have always been around for example. As one thing the fact that Sailor Pluto is timeless, and Saturn can be reborn.

I'm not sure what the story with Neptune and Jupiter is but hey there might be ways around that as there are potentially an infinite number of senshi available.

[Sailor Venus]

There's infinte number of senshi...but they're all different. No one will ever match Sailor Uranus/Neptune, or be able to be substitutes for them. I believe that it said in the manga that each senshi is assigned to a planet/star, so because each planet and star is different, there will never be a replacement for Uranus/Neptune.

On the same note, I'm confused as to why Sailor Moon loses her power as a Sailor Senshi and becomes Neo Queen Serenity. What was the explanantion in the manga? Is she stronger as Eternal Sailor Moon or as Neo Queen Serenity?*

*You would think as Eternal Sailor Moon because Neo Queen Serenity could not even defeat the Black Moon. Yet, this would mean that Usagi is getting progressively weaker. So how does that explain her future form as Sailor Cosmos? (Wait Sailor Cosmos IS Usagi rite? XD (or is she some great granddaughter??)

*sigh* Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon and its complexities.

The Sailor Quartetto (usually called the Asteriod Senshi, but that is incorrect because that term never ever appears in any offical Sailor Moon text) are the senshi of the asteroids Juno, Pallas, Vesta, and Ceres. So, they're Sailor Juno, Sailor Palla, Sailor Vesta, and Sailor Ceres.

There appear to be senshi for each planet, and apparently for asteroids as well. Such as Sailor Mau and Sailor Mermaid (from planets Mau and Mermaid). So all the senshi are born and reborn again at the Galaxy Cauldron. So they don't have to be descendants of another senshi - they can be born whenever a new planet is born.

Sailor Cosmos IS the future form of Sailor Moon, so one would assume that Neo Queen Serenity is more powerful than Eternal Sailor Moon, and Sailor Cosmos is more powerful than Neo Queen Serenity. Neo Queen Serenity exiles the Black Moon Clan to Nemesis in the same way that Queen Serenity put a seal on the Dark Kingdom. So she does still have power, but I think that in that form, she is just unable to use powers like "Moon Princess Halation" and other senshi-only attacks.

Somewhere I read that these four are guardians of the Inner Senshi, but I'm not sure how the pairings were or if it's true (Sailor Juno would undoubtedly be Sailor Jupiter's guardian).

And how would that explain Sailor Chibi Moon? Another moon for earth? Really, that would mess up the orbit.

I think that Ami-chan, Rei, Makoto and Minako won't have offspring, nor will Michiru, Haruka, Setsuna and Hotaru. Why? It's explained in various fanfics, and holds some credibility: They're doomed to be loveless because of their lifespan and their duty. The only loophole here, is what Michiru and Haruka did.

They are actually ChibiMoon's guardian's from the 30th Century, in the same way that the Inner Senshi are the guardians of Sailor Moon. They were put into a deep sleep until they were needed (when ChibiMoon became a true soldier), and while they were in said sleep, Nehellenia awakened them to be her servants, so they became the Amazones Quartetto.

I said that they don't have to be descendants of the soldier, not that they couldn't be descendants of another soldier. You positively CANNOT deny that each planet has its own senshi, because each one obviously does, and each Sailor Crystal was born at the Galaxy Cauldron.

ChibiMoon has a second Ginzuishou (the Sailor Crystal of the moon) because she is the child of Sailor Moon. I think that if the senshi were to have children (and it is entirely possible - you can't say whether it is or isn't, because no one knows), then their children would carry their respective Sailor Crystals (Jupiter's child would hold the Sailor Crystal of Jupiter). We already know that more than one Sailor Crystal of a particular planet/celestial body can coexist, as there were THREE Ginzuishou coexisting in the end of the manga - that of ChibiMoon, that of Sailor Moon, and that of ChibiChibi/Cosmos (the future form of Sailor Moon).

Anyway, the earth DOES in fact have a sort of "second moon," called Cruithne. It isn't technically a "moon" since it isn't gravitationally bound to the Earth, but it does orbit the Earth, since it is sort of trapped in our gravitational field. Google it.

[Sailor Venus]

But...what wait...


Neo Queen Serenity needed Sailor Moon's (from our present) help to fight the Black Moon, how is she stronger than, even, Eternal Sailor Moon?

[Zyppora]

So I googled it. It gets me several pages, and looking at some of'em tells me that Cruithne's orbit looks like a typical comet's orbit.

www.space.com/scienceastronomy/earth_asteroid_021021.html

That page states the following:

It is not a second Moon, astronomers stress, but they are calling it the first quasi-satellite of Earth.

"As a quasi-satellite, it is going around the Sun very close to Earth," explains Martin Conners of Athabasca University in Canada. "Both are in orbit around the Sun but near each other for a long period of time."
