theprettycursivelie asked: In the manga, it's mentioned that those with blood ties to the moon (moon kingdom/royalty?) typically have lifespans of 1,000 years. If Chibiusa is 903 years old, and was presumably conceived when our Usagi at least was around 22 years old or so, does this mean that Neo Queen Serenity was nearing the end of her life? This is something I've been puzzling over for a while...
USAGI WAS 21 WHEN SHE ASCENDED TO THE THRONE OF NEO QUEEN SERENITY AND ALSO WHEN SHE CONCEIVED SMALL LADY USAGI. SO IT IS LIKELY THAT SHE IS NEARING THE END OF HER LIFE SPAN WHEN WE SEE HER IN THE 30TH CENTURY. THIS WOULD BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THEIR ANXIETY ABOUT CHIBI-USA’S LACK OF STRENGTH AND STUNTED GROWTH, AS SHE IS INTENDED TO TAKE OVER THE THRONE.
balancebeforeifall asked: Are Usagi and Chibiusa considered inner senshi or are the inner senshi just the four guardians of the Princess?
THE “INNERS” ARE CLASSIFIED AS MERCURY, MARS, JUPITER AND VENUS ONLY. SAILORS MOON AND CHIBI MOON ARE NOT “INNERS” NOR “OUTERS”.
IF YOU REQUIRE A CANONICAL NAME TO REFERENCE THE INNERS + SAILOR MOON, THEY CALL THEMSELVES THE “SAILOR TEAM”.
sailormuse asked: Does Rei ever interact with her father in the anime? I know that, in the manga, she has her side story that goes into her relationship with him, but I haven't watched enough of the anime to know if something similar happens there. Is it even ever explained why she lives with her grandpa?
NO. REI’S RELATIONSHIP WITH HER FATHER AND HER REASONS FOR LIVING AT THE HIKAWA SHRINE WITH HER GRANDFATHER ARE NEVER EXPLAINED WITHIN THE STRICTLY ANIME CANON.

Anonymous asked: Why everytime Usagi uses the Ginzuishou, she has to risk her own life?
USING THE SILVER CRYSTAL TO ITS FULLEST POWER WILL USE ALL OF THE BEARER’S ENERGY, EFFECTIVELY KILLING THEM.

Anonymous asked: What did Mamoru/Tuxedo Mask do with all those jewels he stole when he was looking for the Silver Crystal?
NO CANONICAL ANSWER IS GIVEN.
HYPOTHESIS 1: CONSIDERING MAMORU’S PERSONALITY AND WEALTH, IT IS LIKELY THAT HE ANONYMOUSLY RETURNED THE JEWELS TO EITHER THE ORIGINAL STORES OR THE POLICE AT A LATER TIME ONCE HE DETERMINED THEY WERE NOT THE SILVER CRYSTAL, OR LEFT THEM IN A PLACE THEY WOULD BE DISCOVERED BY POLICE.
HYPOTHESIS 2: HE KEPT ALL OF THEM UNTIL HE DISCOVERED THE TRUE SILVER CRYSTAL, THEN RETURNED THEM IN ONE HAUL.

Anonymous asked: In the manga, Neo Queen Serenity gives Sailor Chibimoon her Cutie Moon Rod so Chibimoon can fight alongside Sailormoon against Death Phantom. Both rods shatter when they defeat him. SO WHERE DID NEO QUEEN SERENITY GET ONE?
NO CANONICAL ANSWER IS GIVEN.
HYPOTHESIS 1: THE CUTIE MOON ROD WAS AN ARTIFACT THAT NEO QUEEN SERENITY CREATED HERSELF AT SOME TIME IN OR NEAR THE 30TH CENTURY.
HYPOTHESIS 2: THE TIMELINE WHERE NEO QUEEN SERENITY GAVE HER THE MOON ROD BECAME AN ALTERNATE TIMELINE DUE TO THE NEW DIFFERENCES IN THE PRESENT/PAST.

Anonymous asked: Why do the senshi gain nail polish when they transform if they just get gloves right after? I've heard some interesting ideas (the polish focuses their power, the polish is a visual representing their power but needs hiding for some reason, etc.) but nothing concrete. Is there a canon explanation?
NO CANONICAL EXPLANATION HAS BEEN GIVEN. ONE MAY MOST SAFELY ASSUME IT IS PRIMARILY FOR AESTHETIC REASONS.

Anonymous asked: Do you know where I could find a miko uniform to cosplay as Rei? There are cosplay sites online but every one I've seen lacks authenticity. The fabric is too thin and has no support.
LUNA-P-BOT IS PRIMARILY FOR INFORMATION PERTAINING DIRECTLY TO THE CANON, AND NOT TO FAN PRODUCTIONS SUCH AS “FANART”, “FANFIC” AND “COSPLAY”.
HYPOTHESIS: EVERY SHINTO PRIESTESS UNIFORM COSTUME YOU FIND WILL LOOK INAUTHENTIC COMPARED TO A REAL SHINTO PRIESTESS UNIFORM

Anonymous asked: Why is Momoko always in ChibiUsa's class, regardless of when ChibiUsa returns to the past? Realistically, unless Momo was a genius who skipped grades, there's no way that she could be in ChibiUsa's kindergarten class AND her fifth-grade class since ChibiUsa's jaunts to the past are only about a year apart. Was there ever a canon explanation, or is it just a plothole?
NO CANONICAL EXPLANATION IS GIVEN.
HYPOTHESIS: IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT WAS CHIBI-USA, FUNCTIONALLY PRESENTED AS A CHILD GENIUS, WHO WAS ACCELERATED AND PLACED IN A HIGHER CLASS ALONGSIDE THE OLDER MOMOKO. UPON RETURNING TO THE PAST THE SECOND TIME SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ENROLLED IN THAT SAME CLASS, BUT HAD SINCE MATCHED THE AGE AND APPEARANCE OF HER FELLOW CLASSMATES.
IT IS POSSIBLY A PLOTHOLE.

Anonymous asked: I realize that Future Endymion's 'warnings' for present Mamoru during R were just a 'test', but why did he and Usagi need that test?
NO CANONICAL EXPLANATION IS GIVEN.
HYPOTHESIS: THEY NEEDED THAT TEST TO PROVE TO THEMSELVES THEY HAD THE STRENGTH TO CONTINUE ON IF THE OTHER WERE TO DIE IN THE FUTURE. KING ENDYMION MAY HAVE KNOWN OF A SPECIFIC SITUATION IN WHICH USAGI / NEO QUEEN SERENITY SUFFERED.
EXAMPLE: WHEN HE IS TEMPORARILY KILLED IN THE FINAL SEASON.
