Welcome to our new weekly series where we do deep dives on the most genre defining anime of the past era. This week we're going to be looking at Sailor Moon

Have you heard of "Sailor Moon"? If not, you're in for a treat! This classic anime series has been entertaining fans all over the world for decades and continues to captivate audiences to this day. Here's a beginner's guide to the world of "Sailor Moon".

What is Sailor Moon?

The basic premise of "Sailor Moon" is that a teenage girl named Usagi Tsukino discovers that she has the power to transform into the titular Sailor Moon, a superheroine who fights to protect the world from evil forces. Along with her friends, who also possess their own magical abilities, Sailor Moon must use her powers to Fight Evil By Moonlight and Win love by daylight~ (SING WITH ME!)

 

What sets "Sailor Moon" apart from other anime series is its strong emphasis on character development and relationship building. The characters in the series are all unique and well-developed, and the relationships between them are both touching and comedic. This combination of action and character-driven storytelling is what has made "Sailor Moon" so popular and enduring.

 

Watch Order?

So the synopsis got you hooked right? Now how do you start??

Let's take a closer look at the three most common versions of the "Sailor Moon" anime, and the amount of filler content included in each.

1. Original Japanese airing order: The original Japanese airing order is divided into five seasons: "Sailor Moon," "Sailor Moon R," "Sailor Moon S," "Sailor Moon SuperS," and "Sailor Moon Stars." This is the order in which the episodes were first broadcast in Japan, and it's a good option for fans who want to experience the series as it was originally intended. However, this version of the anime includes a moderate amount of filler, with about 20-30% of the episodes not being part of the original manga storyline.

2. Production order: The production order is the order in which the episodes were created, rather than the order in which they were broadcast. This version of the anime is a good option for fans who prefer a more chronological viewing experience. It includes a moderate amount of filler, with around 20-30% of the episodes not being part of the original manga.

3. DVD/Blu-Ray release order: The DVD/Blu-Ray release order is similar to the production order, but with some minor changes. This version of the anime is a good option for fans who want to see the series as it was released on DVD or Blu-Ray in Japan. Like the other two versions, it also includes a moderate amount of filler, with approximately 20-30% of the episodes not being part of the original manga.

 

and of course the age old argument?

CaN sHe BeAT Goku THo??

Facts and Feats only (Although it's a complete blowout  match) 

Now to do this we have to examine Sailor Moon as a whole and the source of her powers which is the Silver Crystal embeded in her brooch. Silver Crystal is said to be exceedingly strong and have boundless power. It possesses the ability to construct and destroy entire universes. 800 times faster than the speed of light, Usagi can teleport. She was seen by Sailor Moon Cosmos as a strong entity that could withstand having her body, mind, and soul erased. She won't be eliminated as a result of this. In addition to all of this, she may utilize her Silver Crystal to create a parallel universe, control souls, go back in time, alter reality, and even ask her future self for help.

Sailor Galaxia struck Sailor Moon while she was in base form, but Sailor Moon, who is at least multi-universal in strength, deflected the strike. Her ultimate form is a reality warper, who has control over time and space and is immortal. 

 

And now Goku a Saiyan who needs no introduction

Goku is the main protagonist (and antagonist) of the popular anime and manga series, "Dragon Ball." He is a warrior from the Saiyan race, a warrior-like species known for their incredible strength, speed, and fighting skills. Throughout the series, Goku faces many challenges and battles powerful enemies, constantly pushing the limits of his abilities.

Goku is able to transform into several powerful forms, each with its own unique abilities and strengths. Here are some of his most notable forms:

1. Super Saiyan: Goku's most famous form, which greatly increases his strength and gives him a golden-blonde hairdo. This form allows Goku to access a higher level of power and increases his speed and agility as well.

2. Super Saiyan 2: An even stronger form than Super Saiyan, which is characterized by a significant increase in power, speed, and energy.

3. Super Saiyan 3: The most powerful form in the Super Saiyan line, which greatly increases Goku's physical abilities and energy output.

4. Super Saiyan God: A god-like form that Goku achieves through a ritual with the other five pure-hearted Saiyans. This form greatly enhances Goku's strength, speed, and energy, and also gives him a red aura.

5. Ultra Instinct: A form that Goku achieves after extensive training and meditation, allowing him to automatically dodge and attack without conscious thought.

Goku has a wide range of attacks and abilities that he uses to battle his enemies in the "Dragon Ball" series. Here are some of his most notable attacks and feats:

1. Kamehameha: A powerful energy blast that Goku shoots from his palms, capable of causing massive damage to his opponents.

2. Spirit Bomb: A ball of energy that Goku gathers from living beings and the environment, which he then releases in a massive blast that is capable of destroying even the strongest of enemies.

3. Dragon Fist: A powerful punch that Goku uses to drill through his opponents and cause massive damage.

4. Super Saiyan Forms: Goku has access to several different forms of Super Saiyan, each with its own unique abilities and strengths. The Super Saiyan forms greatly increase Goku's strength, speed, and energy output.

5. Instant Transmission: A technique that allows Goku to instantly transport himself to any location he can sense.

6. Kaio-ken: A technique that temporarily multiplies Goku's strength, speed, and energy output, allowing him to gain the upper hand in battle.

7. Solar Flare: A blinding flash of light that Goku uses to temporarily blind his opponents and create an opening for an attack.

8. Genki Dama (Spirit Bomb): A ball of energy that Goku gathers from living beings and the environment, which he then releases in a massive blast that is capable of destroying even the strongest of enemies.

These are just a few of the many attacks and feats that Goku has accomplished throughout the "Dragon Ball" series. He is constantly pushing the limits of his abilities and discovering new techniques as he battles against powerful enemies.
