I've read the manga series cover to cover several times, but this one point has always puzzled me. Why does Chibiusa disappear in the Stars series after Galaxia kills Mamoru? Chibiusa is from the future, so she should come from a time after the final battle in Stars. In that case, shouldn't Usagi already have brought back all the senshi by the time Chibiusa would be born? Even if the event hasn't taken place yet, it is eventually going to take place. So why should Mamoru's death in the past affect Chibiusa after his ressurection in the future? And even if it does, why doesn't Chibiusa disappear until Mamoru's second death? Shouldn't she have vanished the moment Galaxia attacked him at the airport?
Now, I can see why it works as a plot device, so that it wouldn't be blatantly obvious that the good guys were going to win. But timeline-wise, it doesn't quite make sense to me.

Long answer: The Sailor Moon time stream is dynamic in that nothing is truly set. this promotes the idea of free will and being in control of your own destiny. Short Answer: The writers didn't really think it through. |

Fair enough. But even if the time stream is dynamic, there does seem to be one consistent future that is "supposed" to happen, that being the Crystal Tokyo we all know and love. When visions of "the future" are shown it always seem to refer to that one timeline. Kinda makes you wonder where all the other possible timelines went... o.o;

Sounds more and more weird; now that I think about it.
Chibusa is a glips of things to come.
The future is some that is given to one it has taken. One's essense and will are the deciding factors.
