1) Introduction
Sailor Moon is a cartoon about 14-year-old sailor-suited superheroines,
aimed at young girls, which began broadcast in North America on September 11,
1995 (August 28 on YTV in Canada). The show is syndicated and airs at dif-
ferent times in different areas. The North American version is produced by
DIC Entertainment and distributed by Seagull Entertainment, and the toys pro-
duced by Bandai USA. It is not a Fox show, although some Fox stations are
showing it and Fox also showed one episode as a special. The series is a dub
of a Japanese cartoon (anime) whose name (Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon) is usu-
ally translated as "Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon"; this cartoon is based on a
manga (Japanese comic book) created by Takeuchi Naoko. (Note: All Japanese
names in this FAQ are listed Japanese style, with family name first.)
In North America, DIC has made 65 episodes available for 1995-1996. They
have supposedly committed to 65 more episodes in 1996-1997, but the number ac-
tually seems to be 40. The 65th North American episode corresponds to
Japanese episode 72, which is a minor breaking point (defeat of the four Black
Moon sisters) but doesn't finish the story. The first time around, the ep-
isodes were shown out of order (the Alan/Ann story was supposed to go
_between_ the Beryl and the Black Moon story), but the reruns (currently being
shown) will show them in the proper order.
Sailor Moon is unique as anime that is broadcast in America, is heavily
promoted, and was well-known to fans before it ever appeared here. (Before
1995, the last anime series that appeared nationwide on US broadcast televi-
sion at all was Dragon Warrior, 13 episodes, in 1989, and before that,
Robotech, in 1986?. And these didn't have 200 licensed products.) So there
are many people in the US who have seen the original Japanese version of the
series and know information about characters and plots that have yet to appear
here, which this FAQ heavily uses.
Note: There are lots of spoilers here for past episodes. Read at your
own risk. There are also spoilers for _future_ episodes, which I've tried to
rot13, but I can't rot13 everything.
(In rn, the X command rot-13s the current page, and the ctrl-X command
starts the article from the beginning in rot13. In tin, use the d command.)
Thanks to everyone on the Internet (far too many names to list, even if
I had kept the list) for helping me produce this FAQ.
2) Air Times/Channels (all are weekdays unless otherwise specified). The
first air date is September 11 (except for YTV in Canada). (This is not as
accurate as the rest of this FAQ, because I've collected these from the net.)

3) Japanese television series
Japan does not have television seasons like the US does. However, Sailor
Moon has been divided into several different series, each aired weekly and
lasting a year:
Sailor Moon: 3/7/92-2/27/93 (episodes 1-46): The appearance of the five
Sailor Scouts and their fight against the Dark Kingdom.
Sailor Moon R: 3/6/93-3/5/94 (episodes 47-88): Episodes 47-59 have as
villains two space aliens Earl and Ann. 60-88 are a fight against the Black
Moon family, also introducing Chibi-Usa (Rini), who is an 8-year-old (roughly)
girl from the future. Sailor Pluto first appears (but only briefly) here.
Episode 89, 3/12/94, was a special (and a clips episode).
For anyone who wonders, the R was supposed to stand for Romance.
Sailor Moon Super: 3/19/94-2/25/95 (episodes 90-127): Villains are
Professor Tomoe and the Witches 5 (the Death Busters). Chibi-Usa first be-
comes Sailor Chibi-Moon, and Sailors Uranus and Neptune first show up (and
later Saturn).
Sailor Moon SuperS: 3/4/95-? (episodes 128-?): ???

* This is a nickname; chibi is Japanese for "short". Her real name is also
Usagi. (According to the manga it's "Usagi Small-Lady Serenity". Uh, right.)
** Last name "Anderson" used in episode 37.
*** The dub _keeps_ "Hino". Wow.
The double entries are because Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune first appear sha-
dowed, and Chibi-Moon and Saturn appear in their normal identities first.
Note that the birthdays are appropriate, astrologically, for the planets.
The Japanese language uses kanji (written characters derived from Chinese)
for the Japanese equivalent of root words. The Japanese family names of the
Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask all contain the same kanji as the corresponding
planet (not necessarily pronounced the same).
The kanji used in the Japanese names of the planets include the five
Asian elements (fire, water, wood, metal, earth). The days of the week also
include the kanji for the elements, so the days of the week, the planets, and
the elements are all somewhat related. (The day of week/planet relationship
is the same one that exists in the West.) The Sailor Scouts thus could be
considered an elemental-based team if you want to count Tuxedo Mask as the
element earth (though Saturn's is usually used for the element).
The Sailor Scouts' special attacks usually fit the kanji associated with
the planet. (For instance, the name of the planet Mars uses the kanji for
"fire", and Sailor Mars has fire attacks.) Sailor Venus is an exception; she
was named early before Takeuchi started the naming pattern. The kanji in her
name means "love", associated with the goddess Venus; her later attacks, how-
ever, involve gold and the Japanese name for Venus does use the kanji for
"gold". Sailor Jupiter's most recent attack (and all her manga attacks) are
associated with wood, but her early attacks (including everything the dub has
gotten to) are associated with the god Jupiter.

Ages and grades: Unfortunately, a bit complicated.
In Japan, junior high goes up to grade 9, and high school is 10-12. In the US,
junior high goes to either 8 or 9, depending on the local school system.
In the Japanese version, the main five characters start at age 14, in second
year junior high (grade 8). It's possible that they lose a year at the end of
the first story (this is unclear; Molly still likes Melvin, and Lita is in
Serena's school even though she only transferred well into the year, but there
_is_ a cherry blossom episode implying that spring came again while they're
still in 8th grade. In the manga, they do lose a year, but keep their
memory.), but anyway they stay 14 for Sailor Moon R. By Sailor Moon S, they
are 15 and in third year (grade 9), though only Sailor Moon's birthday is
shown onscreen. By Sailor Moon SS, they are 16 and in high school. Sailor
Uranus and Neptune are one grade ahead (first year high school, grade 10, as
of S), and were born in the same year as the others, but before April (when
the Japanese school year starts). Tuxedo Mask starts in high school in the
manga and in college in the animation. Sailor Pluto is in her first year in
college in the manga (corresponding to S), 3 years older than most of the oth-
ers and probably 18, but in the animation hasn't been reincarnated and is
thousands of years old. Chibi-Usa (Rini) is 900, believe it or not, in the
manga (her age isn't given in the animation).
The dub contradicts itself in the Earl/Ann episode. That episode places Alan
(Earl) in grade 10 (instead of 9) and Ann and Serena in grade 9 (instead of 8),
and calls it high school (instead of junior high). Fans have guessed that
this is a pilot episode, and I wouldn't take its statements too seriously.
The error is repeated at least once later on.
The dubbed episode 15 has a mistake which put Serena's brother in Crossroads
Junior High too, which is ridiculous.
Note: Yes, just about everyone _is_ reincarnated, even though the dub refuses
to say the word 'reincarnation'. However, surviving 1000 years into the
future has nothing to do with this. In the anime, in original episode 83,
it's explained that everyone on the Earth fell into suspended animation
because of some catastrophe and Neo-Queen Serenity restored them in the
future. (It isn't stated whether Usagi or Chibi-Usa were in suspended anima-
tion too.) In the manga, V5 says live the 1000 years because "almost" every-
one was given long life by the Silver Crystal. Also, the Silver Millennium
family's lifespan is 1000 years (which doesn't quite fit). Chibi-Usa is 900
years old in the manga, and the "explanation" is that she is the first half-
human, half-Silver-Millennium person so there are a lot of unknowns.
Supporting characters:
Luna: Sailor Moon's magical cat.
Artemis: Sailor Venus's magical cat.
Darian (Mamoru): Serena's boyfriend, and Tuxedo Mask. I listed him above,
but must point out another DIC screwup. His name as a prince is originally
Endymion; this is taken from mythology, where Selene loved Endymion. It was
different from his regular name, Mamoru. Changing both to Darian not only re-
moves the reference, but causes two problems: First, when he's under the con-
trol of the Negaverse, Serena asks him to remember the name Darian--but he's
calling himself Prince Darian at the time! Second, Rini knows that her
parents are Serena and Darian and manages not to figure out that the Serena
and Darian of the 20th century are the same people (because the names weren't
_really_ the same in the original).
Sam (Shingo): Serena's younger brother.
Molly Baker (Osaka Naru): Serena's best friend. She gets attacked by
monsters an awful lot. :-)
Andrew (Furuhata Motoki): Darian's friend; runs the video arcade where
everyone hangs out.
Melvin (Umino Gurio): Classmate of Serena and Molly.
Ms. Patricia Haruna (Sakurada Haruna): Serena's teacher. (They kept the
last name but mispronounced it hideously.)
Sailor Moon's parents (Ikuko and Kenji). (The only parents of the main
five that we see. Venus has two parents, Mercury lives with her mother
[parents separated], Jupiter lost both parents in an airplane crash and
lives by herself [yeah, right]. We see Mars's grandfather, but I don't know
about her parents.)

Some of these supporting characters fade into the background after a while.
Villains: Many villains are named after various gems and minerals, a trend
continuing at least into the fourth year of the original episodes (Sailor
Moon SS). The dub has an odd mixture of recognizing that they are mineral
names (renaming Kunzite to Malachite had to be done by someone who _knows_
what the names are) and total cluelessness as to the source of the names
(Nephrite is called "Neflyte" in the dub, for instance).
Here's as many names as I know. The ones marked with * have exact spellings,
of the appropriate English mineral. The ones marked with ** are not exact,
with the likely mineral in parentheses. Others aren't minerals. Spelling,
where there isn't an exact mineral name, is of necessity somewhat uncertain.
Sailor Moon: Queen Beryl*, Jadeite*, Nephrite*, Zoisite*, Kunzite*
(Malachite* in the dub), Queen Metallia (Negaforce in the dub). Kunzite's
name was apparently changed for legal reasons (the mineral was named after a
person).
Sailor Moon R, part 1: Earl (Alan in the dub) and Ann. Their names seem to
be a pun on "alien" (Earl would be pronounced "ail" in Japanese). In the origi-
nal, Earl and Ann use _different_ names (Ginga Seijuurou and Ginga Natsumi;
ginga means "galaxy" or "Milky Way" and was [mis]translated in the dub as
"Granger") in school, while keeping the names Earl and Ann as villains.
Sailor Moon R, part 2: Cooan** (kermesite) (Catsy in the dub), Beruche**
(berthierite) (Birdy in the dub), Calaveras** (calaverite) (Avery in the dub),
Petz** (petzite) (Prisma in the dub) (these four aren't guesses, but are from
the Japanese merchandise. No, getting Cooan from kermesite doesn't make sense
to me, either.), Rubeus** (ruby), Esmeraude** (emerald), Safir** (sapphire)
Demand** (diamond), Black Lady, Wiseman.
Sailor Moon S: Professor Tomoe, Kaolinite*, Eudial** (eudialyte), Mimete**
(mimetite), Tellu** (tellurite), Viluy** (villiaumite), Sapphirine*,
Puchirol** (Puchirite), Mistress 9.
[cyprine?]
Sailor Moon SS: Zirconia*, Hawk Eye*, Fish Eye*, Tiger Eye*, CereCere,
PalaPala, JunJun, BesuBesu (named after the four largest asteroids, Ceres,
Pallas, Juno, and Vesta), Nephrenia, Zirconi.
The following lists some early, unused, Sailor Moon US names. The first
version was announced soon after Sailor Moon's US release was announced. The
second version appears on the English Kodansha WWW site (Kodansha publishes
the Japanese comic but isn't connected to the animation) and the third is the
current version.
Identity Japanese Name First Kodansha Current
-------- ------------- ----- -------- ---------
Sailor Moon Tsukino Usagi Victoria Celeste Serena
Tuxedo Mask Chiba Mamoru ? Mark Darian
Sailor Mars Hino Rei Dana Rae Raye
Sailor Mercury Mizuno Ami Blue Amy Amy
Sailor Jupiter Kino Makoto Sara Maggie Lita
Sailor Venus Aino Minako Kari Monica Mina
Note
1. "Amy" and "Ami" are not pronounced the same.
2. The name "Serena" is obviously derived from Usagi's Japanese name as a
princess, which can be spelled "Selenity" or "Serenity". In Japanese, there
is no distinction between the sounds "l" and "r", and the name has two ori-
gins. The first is the reference to the Sea of Serenity on the moon, where
the moon palace was located according to the manga (volume 3). The second is
to the moon goddess Selene. The Japanese merchandise spells it with an "r"
when it uses Roman letters.
In the original version, Usagi's regular name wasn't the same as her name
as a princess. On the other hand, in it her mother on the moon was also named
Serenity, giving her mother and her the same name. (So the original has Queen
Serenity and Usagi/Princess Serenity, while the dub has Queen Serenity and
Serena/Princess Serena).
3. Before even the first set of names was announced there was a rumor that
Usagi was going to be named Darrien.
4. "Minako" is a Japanese pun, sort of. "Mi" and "ko" can also be pronounced
as "Bi" and "su", making it "Binasu", a Japanese pronunciation of "Venus".
Other original names and versions:
Sailor Scouts: The Japanese term is Sailor Senshi (meaning Sailor Soldiers
or Fighters)
Negaverse: originally "Dark Kingdom" (in English. There was no reason for
the dubbers to change it.) Nor were the later villains from there; tying them
all together was a US invention.
"Meatball Head": originally "odango atama" (roughly "dumpling head", but
odango really don't exist in America).
Sailor Mars' anti-spirit attack (when she chants and tosses a magic paper)
is done with the words (in the original) "Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu,
sai, zen. Akuryou taisan!". The characters on the paper (which is called
an ofuda) are also "akuryou taisan"; they mean "evil spirit, begone". She
gets this "attack", which shows up in other anime unrelated to Sailor Moon,
from being a priestess, not from being Sailor Mars, and she used it before
becoming Sailor Mars and when she had amnesia in episode 42. The dub attempts
to explain it as "I call upon the power of Mars fireballs", which makes less
sense than usual since not only does the attack have nothing to do with being
Sailor Mars, there are no fireballs in it! The dub attack has also been visu-
ally edited to remove a horned silhouette. (It is excruciatingly obvious that
the dubbers were afraid Americans would see it as Satan.) In episode 42 (where
it obviously couldn't be changed to Mars Fireballs) the attack was dubbed dif-
ferently and keeps the silhouette.
Star Crystal: Originally the Black Crystal (kurozuishou). The second one
that Zoisite has is called the Black Crystal in both the dub and the original.
Silver Crystal: Called "maboroshi no ginzuishou" in the original (meaning
something like "illusion silver crystal"). The dub can't seem to decide what
to call it, so it becomes the Silver Empyrean Crystal one episode, the Silver
Moon Crystal another, and eventually the Empyrean Silver Moon Crystal.
Doom Tree: originally the "Makaiju". (Ma=evil/magic, kai=world/land,
ju=tree).
Original and dub attack, etc. names: (most of these are in English; only
rarely does an attack include a Japanese word)

* Shabon translates to "soap" or "soap bubbles".
** meaning "Luna-P, transform".
*** First episode chronologically, and first one aired, respectively (the
episodes were aired out of order).
*4 It is also translated to "Cosmic Moon Power" in the dub when used as a
powerful attack in the last few episodes of the first series.
*5 Her manga attack is "Death Reborn Revolution".
Serena's original speech was "For love and justice, I am the pretty
sailor-suited soldier Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon, I will punish
you!" It often follows a more episode-specific, speech, and is sometimes
parodied (for instance, the teaser for the episode with the priest had "in the
name of God, I will punish you!")
The dub, obviously, can't use it all because "Pretty Soldier" isn't in the
English show name. The dub speech started as "I am Sailor Moon, champion of
justice! On behalf of the moon, I will right wrongs and triumph over evil,
and that means you!" "In the name of the moon, I will punish you!" _general-
ly_ shows up when scripts are otherwise unchanged, but this isn't reliable.
The dub sometimes rewrites the speech such that it looks like Serena is
introducing herself several times in a row. If you were puzzled by this, well,
now you know who to blame.
