Reading Sailor Moon

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Exactly what it says in the title. I will be reading Sailor Moon and sharing the feats I find in each chapter with you.

Please do not needlessly flood this thread with discussions, as it will already have numerous long posts of me detailing what happens in the manga.

Note: I still lack a computer, so I'll be unable to post scans for now. But I will detail the feats and list the chapter so you can check it out for yourself.

Anyway, getting started.

Volume 1

Chapter 1:

• Not much goes on here. We first meet Usagi and she becomes Sailor Moon throughout the chapter.
• The characters repeatedly mention a girl known as "Sailor V", who's been acting as a Vigilante in Tokyo, stopping crimes by herself, and has become quite famous in the city.
• The first villain is an unnamed Shapeshifter who assumes the identity of Naru's (Usagi's best friend) mother.
• She has the power to drain the "youthful life force" of young women, and after doing so she can turn them into zombified slaves and mind-control them.
• After first becoming Sailor Moon, Usagi's goggles can show her visions of nearby danger and crimes.
• Despite transforming, Usagi still appears weak. She gets a knee-cut after being hit with an alcohol bottle.
• Tuxedo Mask first shows up. He stuns the villain with supersonic waves that shatter glass, allowing Usagi to finish her off.
• Sailor Moon first uses the Moon Tiara Boomerang, which vaporizes the target (They crumble into a pile of dust)

Chapter 2:

• The main antagonist so far, Queen Beryl, wants to obtain the Silver Crystal to increase her powers. She was the one who send the Chapter 1 villain.
• She is been observing Usagi through a crystal ball thingy. To stop her and gain the Silver Crystal, she sends her minion Jadeite.
• Usagi, however, doesn't want to be a Hero of Justice. She's far too scared and weak to do the job, and would rather just live a normal life.
• Luna (The talking cat) insists that she fight because her enemies are too dangerous to even be allowed to live on Earth, and that she must gather her allies.
• We first meet Mizuno Ami, a rich supergenius classmate of Usagi's, who scored first in the entire nation in a Prep Exam. Random gossiping schoolgirls say she has an IQ of 300, likely an exaggeration.
• Her and Usagi become friends and they go to the Arcade together. Usagi shows her a "Sailor V" videogame, and just by observing Usagi play it for a few minutes she quickly Masters the game and beats it effortlessly with the highest score of the Arcade. Ami might have Superhuman intellect after all.
• Jadeite has assumed the identity of Ami's prep school teacher, the "Crystal Seminar", and is handing the students CDs with homework assignments, which actually contain hidden brainwashing messages.
• Usagi also gained a magic pen that allows her to transform by shouting "Moon Power", allowing her to disguise herself as a university nurse.
• The "Crystal Discs" Jadeite created also drain the students' life energy.
• Jadeite fires a bunch of papers telekinetically at high speeds towards Sailor Moon, giving her a bunch of paper cuts. Ooof
• Sailor Moon's cries of pain accidentally release supersonic waves that shatter glass.
• Ami also gained a magical pen, which allows her to temporarily freeze Jadeite and release fog to escape.
• Tuxedo Mask shows up for two pages, helps Usagi do a high kick at Jadeite, then goes "My job here is done" and leaves.
• Usagi destroys Jadeite with the Moon Tiara Boomerang and Ami becomes Sailor Mercury.

Chapter 3:

• Nevermind, the villain from Chapter 2 wasn't Jadeite, just one of their monsters.
• Nephrite, another of Beryl's minions, says that the monsters he sends are weak.
• Queen Beryl explains that the Silver Crystal is a source of "immeasurable and unstoppable power, totally unlimited", and that the one who has it can "control the whole universe and everything within it". Hopefully there will be feats to prove that this isn't just a Hyperbole, like the Triforce's omnipotence.
• Usagi and Ami gain watches as prizes in the arcade, and Luna uses their magic to transform them into long-distance communicators.
• Usagi meets Rei, a shrine maiden that has some notable spiritual powers. She has a "Sixth Sense" allowing her to feel approaching danger.
• Jadeite is making school children disappear as they ride the 06:00 PM bus, spiriting them away into another realm. And their life energy is drained.
• Jadeite captures Rei, and it's clear that he takes control of his victims bodies, making them move against their will. Then the bus travels through a portal while the victim is left unconscious.
• It's confirmed that Jadeite takes his victims to an alternate dimension, but Usagi and Ami can still talk through the communicates. Multi-universal range telepathy here
• Ami transforms into Sailor Mercury and teleports to the dimension. Ami uses her "Mercury Aqua Mist" to cover Jadeite in mist so Usagi can attack, but he is not affected. With a handwave he turns the mist into hail.
• Usagi gets scared and starts to cry. Luna tells her that if she cries, she'll accidentally release supersonic waves which will destroy the whole dimension.
• Rei becomes Sailor Mars, using her "Evil Spirits Disperse" attack to burn Jadeite with fire. Doing so makes the dimension catch fire and break apart, so the Sailors teleport away with the kidnapped students.
• This feat is like, Town level or so given a lowballed calc of the dimension size on the OBD.
