- Juice is rarely served in martini glasses.
- Roses are the most versatile of weapons, as they are able to deflect all manner of attacks including lightning bolts and energy beams. They can also penetrate a quarter inch of concrete if thrown properly.
- The stars do indeed know everything. However, that doesn't mean they'll tell you what you need to know (like, say, "one of your comrades has dispatched a crack team of assassins to take your life").
- You can jump from the thirteenth floor of a building to escape your enemies and land unharmed, providing you: a) yell a series of normally random, disconnected words during the fall, and b) land in a swimming pool.
- Any blond person, regardless of apparent age, gender, or ethnicity could be a miniskirt-wearing female warrior in diguise. (Even me. ^_^)
- If you fall off a balcony, your pen will promptly turn into an umbrella which will enable both you and your love interest to float safely to the ground.

Which one was that in? I don't remember it at all.

I remember Neptune falling down that water fall that one time, but into a pool? Nope, doesn't ring any bells Mercurius Twin.

I think Mercurius' Twin is talking about episode two of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, when Ami falls off the building, transforms into Sailor Mercury mid-air, and then lands in a fountain of water, but I could be mistaken...

You always have time to do a dramatic pose with a speech.

Spinning beats running.

Ballet is cooler than karate.

Jumping rope is a battle move

A 15-year-old girl is capable of destroying the world

If you're female and evil, you can't just destroy the world. Instead, you must manifest your abilities in incomprehensible methods involving teenage J-pop idols who can instantaneously make more CMs than the best-known ones. (Granted, Beryl turned out to just have a large C on her chest, but still!)

Large paper fans are effective weapons.

Rivals for a man's affection CAN be fleshed out fully.

It was in the Infinity arc of the manga, where they fought Viluy. She corners Ami on the 13th floor of the school, but Ami escapes by jumping out the window, transforming in midair, and landing in the pool.

I've actually never seen PGSM, even when I was in Japan (though I was in a position to buy some of the merchandise). Wonder how I managed that.

In the interests of staying on topic, I have a few more.

- Tokyo is more or less eternal.
- Cats, pens, arcade games, kaleidoscopes, and even small harps have been known to talk (but usually only in Japanese).
- Secret bases are common underneath video arcades, private schools, and the occasional house.
- Meeting (and living with) your daughter from nine hundred years in the future will not change the time period that she comes from in the slightest.
- An entire school complex in a major metropolitan area can explode without provoking even a minor military response (and in a week, no one will remember it ever happened).

The Japanese news doesn't care when entire planes vanish on the way to America.
A six pack can vanish in only 6 episodes.
The Tokyo tower is easily rebuilt.

Which character is this referring to? (I'm assuming it refers to a muscular stomach and not a six-pack of drinks.)

Pipestrell · Post by **Pipestrell** » Tue Dec 07, 2004 6:32 pm

It's Seiya. I noticed this morning when watching Ep176 that when he's practicing for the musical we can see his chest and he has a definite 6 pack, but as I recall, when we see him in his trunk in the lake in Ep183 he's smooth and unmuscled. (I just realized that's 7 episodes later but that isn't really the point)

Maybe Seiya has more talent in that episode?

*snorts with muffled laughter*
Oooh! That one never gets old!

Rainbow · Post by **Rainbow** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 5:40 pm

Dunno, Seiya's acting skills must've improved since the musical story, since he/she didn't get scolded in episode 183 by the directors.

Or maybe "talent" in Sailor Moon dub talk means "looking more womanly" and having a six-pack is stereotypically masculine, so Seiya looked more feminine in episode 183!

- Crows are people too.
- People can develop and use the ability to fly or hover without noticing it, as long as it results in a dramatic shot.
- The enemy will always strike whenever you go to the beach. However, they will also allow you an ample amount of time to prance around in your swimsuit before doing so.
- If your hair is ever scanned by a high-tech computer trying to find someone whose hair matches your friend's, it will invariably zero in on the three hairs of hers that landed in yours while you were giving her a haircut.
- Bishounen ("pretty boys") are commonly followed by large groups of lovestruck women.
- Approximately half to two-thirds of the aforementioned bishounen are actually girls (though no one seems to care).

*You can make friends with people who hate your guts.

-No matter how many times you fail when you target an athlete, it's still a good idea to go after them again and again.
-Nobody will ever freak out when you explain to them that the two girls who are with you are your future wife and daughter.
