Luna and Kakeru

[Sailor Venus]

Why, after watching the S movie...Why do I get the feeling that Luna "settled" and "accepted" Artemis but really loved Kakeru??

Do you think if Kakeru wasn't in love with Himeko that Luna would go more for him?

So...how...stable IS the Luna/Artemis relationship?

[Zyppora]

Well, I'd say Luna-Kakeru is a dead end. Luna is a cat, after all. Besides, we see in the first episode of SMR that Artemis makes a move towards Luna (and gets his eyeballs scratched out for it), and further on in SuperS, when Diana arrives, we see Luna actually dumping Artemis, so it's only logical to conclude that there was indeed some romance between those two.

I tend to think of it in the way of a crush. I think Luna was feeling lonely, and Kakeru was her friend.. he's a handsome guy, so she developed feelings for him. Of course, she's a cat, so he could never love her back (Besides the fact that he is in love with Himeko).

In the she seemed a little embarrassed at first because of her affections for Kakeru, but did you see the overjoyed way that she RAN to Artemis? She seemed so happy, like she realized that he was really the one for her. Just that scene, how happy she seemed, makes me think that she definitely loves Artemis.

[Zyppora]

I just feel a bit sad for Diana. I mean, Luna and Artemis are both one-of-a-kind. They're not normal cats, and would pick each other over any normal cat (good example of this would be Luna - Red Barett (or whatever his name is)). But Diana is gonna be all alone, without an 'equal mate'. Poor, poor kitty.

Well you know cats are reknowned for incest.

The cat's name in episode 031 that you so grossly misstated is RHETT BUTLER.

Anyway, Idunno - how do we know that there aren't other cats out there who escaped Galaxia's destruction of Mau (their home planet)? So maybe there's a cat out there for her somewhere.

If all else fails, I definitely think she has a shot with a human. I mean, keep in mind that she can transform into a human as well, and the cats are really human-like. So maybe she's got a chance with one of the Crystal Tokyo residents.

[Sailor Venus]

Hm...if you think about it...who else could Luna be with? Its either Artemis...or...Artemis...or...Artemis

That's not very fun (not that I don't like Artemis) ^^

Hmmz, Rhett Butler. Heh, that must be it then. Been a long time since I watched the first saga. Anywayz, according to the anime, it's NOT possible for the cats to transform into humans. Luna only transformed into a human in the S movie because she wished for it (I think the Ginzuishou granted her wish, but not sure).

And who says we're only talking about the anime here?

[Zyppora]

Well, what caused them to change into humans in the manga then? You can point accusing fingers, but you're not exactly constructing yourself here, Betty.

What the hell are you talking about? I'm not pointing any "accusing fingers," I simply stated that nobody said we were talking exclusively about the anime, or exclusively about the manga. No one said which continuum we're talking about, and I was simply pointing that out. You're the one that's getting all huffy about it.

In the manga, it is never explained WHY the cats transform into humans, or why they change back. Artemis transforms in order to help Minako from underneath a boulder in Vol. 14, but then reverts back without explanation. In Vol. 14, they transform seemingly by the power of the ginzuishou, but everyone else also transforms, including Sailor Moon. Because everyone else can transform at will, even without the power of the ginzuishou, it makes sense that the cats can transform at will, as well. They also remain in their cat forms long after that initial surge of energy. Again, we don't really get a satisfactory explanation as to WHY they changed to human, or back - they just become cats again later, when everything is back to normal.

Then, take the case of Tin Nyanko. Like the cats, she is from the planet Mau. In Vol. 16, they even say that Nyanko has the same power as them. In Vol. 17, they transform into humans again when Tin Nyanko attacks them. Tin Nyanko obviously has the power to transform into a human, so the cats must have that same power.

So no real reason is given for their transformations - they just seem to do it sometimes when a crisis occurs, but they DO seem to have the ability to transform at will. Perhaps they just find the form of cats more convenient, as cats are better able to slink around and find out important information. Or maybe they just find it more comfortable.

[xyie]

I think Luna and Artemis have feelings for each other. But i gotta say if Luna wouldnt transform into being a cat again she and Kakeru looks cute together LOL
