The implication here being that Mamoru has been granted the protection of the Sun to perform his duties. The Japanese word here, 守護 ( shugo protection, safeguard), 7 is the same word used to refer to the celestial bodies that protect and offer up their power to their respective Sailor Soldiers. The Prince of Earth, protected by the Sun. Not sure about you, but I’m seeing a theme here.īut probably the most convincing proof that the power of the Sun is with Mamoru is the fact that, well, Nehelenia says as much as she’s dying: 6 According to Greek mythology, Helios is the god and personification of the Sun, 4 and is the brother of Selene, the Greek goddess of the Moon. In case the silver/gold connection wasn’t strong enough to sway you, then the fact that Helios is the guardian of Elysion may help bring you over. Name: Silver Millennium (or Moon Kingdom, if you prefer).And by long time, I mean something like “for the past 20+ years that I’ve been a fan of Sailor Moon.” Of course it’s true that not every object has a Sailor Soldier, but when you consider what a huge presence the Sun is in the solar system, its lack of any representation seems like a pretty big oversight. This is actually a question that’s fascinated me for a long time. So now that we got that little issue out of the way, let’s turn our focus back onto the topic at hand: where is Sailor Sun? But, as many of you already know by now, it’s not so much that there’s no Sailor Earth, but rather that only women can be Sailor Soldiers, 2 and thus Tuxedo Mask is the best we’ve got.įor all intents and purposes, Mamoru Chiba possesses the Earth Sailor Crystal, and should therefore be counted as the equivalent to a Sailor Earth.
Obviously the first thing that we need to sort out is the awkward pink elephant in the room: the fact that Sailor Moon is also lacking a Sailor Earth.
