Hi mina-san, I thought I'd drop by again, sonce I thought of something
on topic to ask (I'm on topic! Amazing, ne)

ok it's something that Zoe-chan and I have discussed, but I don't think
I've mentioned it here: Why Did Neo-Queen Serenity want to train
Chibi-Usa to be a Senshi?

As far as I could tell there wasn't much need for it, since she did
purge the earth and the Dark Moon Kingdom had been taken care of. Seeing
as Serenity seems to be such a pacifists, it just seemed odd that she
would teach her daughter to fight, especially since there really
shouldn't have been a Sailor Moon. I can understand teaching Chibi-Usa
to use the crystal since that's something that kid _needs_ to know, but
why send her daughter back in time to learn to fight as a senshi?

I'm curious what other people think about this.

All right one answere I'll put just so that hundreds of people don't
give me this: Serenity sent Chibi-Usa away to get rid of the spore
hoping she'd die in battle!
THERE ARE YOU CURE MEMBERS HAPPY!! Grrrrrrrrrrr

But, why not have the future senshi teach her daughter that? I guess one
of the things that's really bugging me is, what sane mother sends her
young daughter into a place knowing that she could get hurt or killed
there? If she wanted Chibi-Usa to learn those things I'm sure there are
people in the future.

The only thing I can think of is Selenity wanted to send the Demon back
to the past so that she wouldn't be lonely and stuff, but she knew of
course that the Demon would act like a brat if she didn't get to do
anything, so....

Chibi-moon is born.

I know that's a bad theory, but I'm bored...

1) Those who would rule must first serve. If she's going to be brought up
as the future queen, she should at least have done a bit to protect it.
Just handing her the kingdom on a silver platter isn't the best way to run
the show; pampering her is a sure road to decadence.

2) If she knows what it's like to fight a battle, maybe she'll try to
avoid them. Putting her on the fornt lines, showing her just what being a
senshi is all about, that sort of thing is just what you need to a
princess that war is something to be avoided at all costs, and that your
warriors are not just plastic chess pieces to throw away.

3) She was the right person, at the right time. If she hadn't been there
for S, who would have befriended Hotaru and shown her soft side? If she
hadn't been there for SuperS, who would have summoned Pegasus? She went
back to the past because she was the only one who could fulfill her tasks
as she did.

4) She looks damn cute in that sailor fuku.

Well the part about sending her back, kinda of makes sense. Maybe she
wanted Chibi-Usa to live a more public life, so she wouldn't be
sheltered in the castle her whole life.

Maybe she never meant for Chibi-Usa to actually fight, and that was just
kind of a mix up ^^;;

Agreed, but there are likely less dangerouse ways to teach her that. It
was like Neo-Queen Serenity didn't want her to know the people of the
future, just the people of the past.

But, she was freinds with the future ones, would she really have thought
that. Also I think that sending a child into the front lines is still a
stupid way to teach her daughter that. Especially when her powers were
still mostly dormant.

Yeah ^_^
Someone else who doesn't think she was totally useless.

I think she looks better in her school cloths.
She really doesn't look that great in it until the last arc imho.
I think maybe it's was because by then she was wearing it with
confidence in what she could do instead of it being another way to be
more like mom.
at least in the manga

Think of it this way. She remebered that Chibi-Usa had returned the
second time, so she had to send her back to fulfill this. Since it
already *has* happened, it *will* happen.

General Disclaimer: What I'm saying is based on the manga since I have
seen painfully little of the japanese anime(Couple of 1st season eps,
stars, and a little od SS) , and will not presume to speak about
something I don't know ^_-

Neo-Queen Serenity appears to have _no_knowledge of the past. Absolutly
none. If she did, she would have at least understood what was happening
to everyone in stars, and she clearly did not. Therefore I'm assuming
that her choice to send Chibi-Usa back in time had nothing to do with
preserving continuity.
However, I guess if we really want to know who's right we can call
Pluto-san ^_^

(I can just see the poor operator who gets to deal with this call ;)

Yeah, I can kinda see that. You know sometimes I wonder how the senshi
manged without Sailor Moon. I can't imagin the moon princess fought to
often (I mean the princess and senshi before the silver millinia, I'm

The senshi were probably stronger than the present day ones, so they
wouldn't be as dependent on whoever has the Ginzuishou. Any senshi in
the past would have been trained their whole lives to fight and defend,
but the present day ones are basically just acting on instinct.

Agreed, I mean from the manga point of view wasn't the original future
Sailor Moon:Sailor Cosmos(sorry for spoiler) a wimp hence her sending
Chibi Chibi? Maybe Chibi-usa was to help Usagi become more than she
was...plus didn't the anime say the real training was to make friends
not to be a senshi? Oh well...

Darn, there goes my answer. j/k ^_^ Well, perhaps after the attack by the


Black Moon Family and Wiseman, Neo-Queen Serenity decided that it would be best
to have more senshi to protect Crystal Tokyo in case something happened again.
As a senshi, Chibi-Usa could learn more than just fighting, she could also
learn to work with others, be more coordinated, and etc...

Serenity doesn't know the future. There could be something even
worse than the Wiseman on the horizon for Crystal Tokyo. And no,

Well, maybe she realized that Crystal Tokyo would not last forever, and
that she would be forced to sacrifice her life, just as her mother did, and
send the senshi of the future to... uh, some other place (Toronto,
perhaps?). Since Princess Serenity became Sailor Moon, maybe she knew the
same fate would befall Small Lady. Of course, Neo-Queen Serenity has also
faced attacks on her kingdom; unlike Queen Serenity, she might see the need
for senshi, including her daughter.

That's no guarantee there won't be other enemies to fight in the future.
Aggressors from outside the solar system have reached the Earth
several times (SMS, R movie, S movie, to name a few) and there may
be more to come from within, given enough time. Keeping with Zoe's
obligatory manga references, we know there *will* be more threats
further along -- Sailor Cosmos pretty much said so -- but it goes for the
anime as well.

>Seeing as Serenity seems to be such a pacifists, it just seemed odd that

>shouldn't have been a Sailor Moon.

She ought to have realized by that time what would've happened if
there *hadn't* been a Sailor Moon, though. Queen Serenity didn't
teach her daughter (perhaps not thinking her having the strength to
be a Senshi, perhaps believing the peace of the Moon Kingdom
would last forever), but maybe the Neo-Queen didn't want to repeat
her mother's mistake?
Having said that, I'm with the theory that Queen Serenity *did* wear
a fuku in some ancient time prior to the Silver Millennium...

>I can understand teaching Chibi-Usa
>to use the crystal since that's something that kid _needs_ to know, but
>why send her daughter back in time to learn to fight as a senshi?

Um, did she need to learn how to use the crystal? She'd already used
it against Wiseman by that time.
She was also sent back to learn how to make friends, IIRC, and 20th
century Tokyo is probably a better training ground for a Senshi than
post-Black Moon CT.
That, and the fact that Serenity remembers Chibi-Usa having been
sent back. (Paradoxes can be a nasty thing.) That's also the only
defense I can think of for her sending her own daughter to do actual
battle with something as useless as Pink Sugar Heart Attack.....

>All right one answere I'll put just so that hundreds of people don't

Wouldn't that mean handing the Earth over to Nephrenia later on?

If she can handle the 20th century, with its barbarity, violence, and
general suckiness, I think the 30th would be a piece of cake. It's more
dangerous, but perhaps there's a bigger payoff.

Sending the reigning monarch (aka Usagi, aka Serenity) may not seem like
such a good idea either, especially when you look at Sailor Moon in season
1. But it works. Nothing like a little live-fire exercise
to...encourage...Chibi-Moon to learn how to fight, and do it in a hurry.
Hm...maybe Neo-Queen Serenity's been reading her Machiavelli? :)

True, however, she probably wouldn't have thought of the future senshi
that way. Or maybe she did? Maybe she was being a spoiled brat in the
future, and Serenity saw a way to get it out of her. Yes, there are
better solutions, but she happens ot be in charge.

That made no sense at all.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is ignoring the objective realities of the
situation. (yes, that's a *very* diplomatic way of putting it)

Hm. I've only seen her senshi form in SuperS and Stars, and she looks
great. Her school clothes are okay, I guess, and less flashy, which is
always good, but when she's Chibi-Moon the family resemblance is rather
nice.

Heavens no. Never touch the stuff.

Maybe Sailor Pluto told her this would be good for Chibiusa. But what Pluto
didn't say was that the real reason to send her back was so she could befriend
Hotaru.

Neo Queen Serenity sent Chibi Usa back because when Chibi becomes queen of
Crystal Tokyo she may need the warrior skills and mental and emotional
skills to handle whatever may come up. Who would know this better than Neo
Queen Serenity? Besides, it's not like she's with strangers or anything.
She's with her future mother!!>

Or maybe she's with her past mother. Or her past future mother. Yeah, a past
version of her future mother! [psychotic chortling] Yeah ... that's i-it.

Being a senshi teaches responsibility, and all the other great and
marvellous things that go along with being a queen. Remember, there isn't
-just- the Dark Moon that could attack, there are other forces, other
dimensions, etc, that Chibi-Usa may be faced with, and she has to know how
to defend not only herself, but her kingdom, as well. It is not really
scout training that she wants, but Queen training.

First don't forget that not only the black moon could attack the earth in
the 30th. Other ennemis could, from other solar system, from other
dimension. There are maybe tons out of there and since neo queen serenity
can no longer transform into a senshi, she want a successor to lead the
other senshi in the fight to protect the earth.
Also, Chibi-usa did'nt have any friends in the future. I think the main
reason why neo queen serenity sent chibi-usa in the present was that she
wanted her to make friends and interact with the other girls. And if she
would'nt have been a senshi, she would had been putted away sooner or later
like Naru, Umino and Mitoki. I think that's why.
