Guy's Version of Sailor Moon

[Patrick Barron]

The other day at lunch a friend and I were talking about Sailor Moon and Ronin Warriors (Samurai Troopers) are very much related in many aspects. While:

• Sailor Moon is more geared toward girls.
  
• Ronin Warriors is more geared toward guys.
  

The both show the importance of unity.

Haven't seen RW. Mind giving some examples of similarities?

They both save the world from evil, They use teamwork to battle evil, They have a group of 5 and i think Dark Mercury can help you more and i hope i help a little bit

The powers of 5 was strong in both the Senshi and the Ronins

• In final show down with Queen Barel; Sailor Moon and was not alone. The road ahead was anything but easy. Despite the loss of the other four senshi; Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, and Mars stood by her side in spirit.
  
• During the first battle with Talpa; Ryo did not stand alone. Even though the other four aromors were captured. He could still feel his friends spirits. When they all opened up their souls that over powered Talpa's hold. Sage, Sye, Kento, and Ronon gave Ryo the power to form the Armor of Infernio.
  

Only their combine determination, love, battle aurora pulled them through these epic battles.

I wouldn't know, when I tried to watch the dvd of Ronins it froze on me.

I'm not a Ronin Warriors expert but I would have to agree, that is a similar theme. Probably explains why there are several crossover fics between the two casts as well. But yeah definately I can see that.

The armors and the gift of sailor power is strong. Even form the ones that are more distant are still connected. Like the 4 four dark warlords; along with the outer guardians and the starlights. Over time they started to become more connected into forming a whole.

Here is an example from Ronin Warriors from youtube

(super thread res) yeah from what ive read (awhile ago so i cant post any sources) sailor moon was/is based off of ronin warriors, there are quite a few key points to show this aswell.

Anime Beginnings

1. The main Character of the main characters aka leader is introduced right off.
2. they actually have to find eachother.
3. they "transform" into stronger forms (altho ronin warriors technically has 2 forms, under armor and full armor)
4. Both leaders have a 2nd even stronger form, as we know sailor moon turns into princess serena, Ryo throws on armor of inferno (plus he obtains new swords aswell and serena obtains the moon wand/imperium crystal)
5. as stated, in the fight with talpa Ryo calls upon each armor even tho captured to obtain inferno armor, Serena calls upon her friends and they stand together causeing a super dee dooper moon cosmic power blast.

ronin warriors ends at almost 40, where as sailor moon was planned to end at episode 40 but went on.

it makes me wonder how awsome ronin warriors would be had they of went an extra even 20 episodes i think itd of rocked major socks

Also the leaders:

• Ryo was not asked to be the leader but he took the roll and started to make the hard calls
  
• Usagi was reluctent to be on taking on her predecided roll as leader. (however over time she started to take on the roll)
  

While they have there flaws they still take on the burden and make the calls.

yeah, i kinda miss anime like that, but they still develop great anime today, so im still content.

like i said in my introduction, atm im reading naruto manga, and watch the anime when there isnt fillers going on. in a way its has the same familiar setting as sailor moon, people working hard maintaining and looking out for friends and using their bonds to overcome w.e is thrown at them
