As I was searching for Sailor Moon images – something which is still fun even after all these years – I stumbled upon this super adorable fanart by “Kobeya” of Sailors Mercury and Jupiter swapping uniforms.
If you enjoy this drawing, please visit Kobeya’s pixiv profile!
My favorite character in Sailor Moon the very first time I saw the series about twenty years ago was none other than Makoto Kino – Sailor Jupiter. She’s the only one of the original five who could end you without transforming! In her first episode alone, she beats up two college-age thugs, attempts to square off against Zoisite, and tries fighting a monster, all before learning she is Sailor Jupiter!
In the years since, my loyalties may have shifted a bit to Ami, but watching Mako’s introduction episode again after more than a decade since my last Sailor Moon rewatch, it’s all coming back to me why I like her so much. She’s a tall, awkward girl with an intimidating aura, but she’s actually really nice and is good at cleaning and cooking. Ami better look out, since Mako might win me over again. I can still like them both, though! 💚💙
(And in retrospect, maybe it’s because of Mako that I became so fond of the brown hair/green eyes combination…)
