Episode 44: Where did the bubbles go?

[SailorStar9]

In episode 44, we see Queen Serenity use the Ginzuishou to send Princess Serenity, Prince Endymion, the Senshi away to the future, along with a lot of other unnamed bubbles?

Am I the only one who wondered this: where were the unnamed bubbles sent to?

I mean, all of those bubbles, and we only see a handful of people. Why?

[Noy Telinú]

Cuz aliens? I don't know. Is it in the manga? O_o

Because if not then it was an error and they thought there would be more. Maybe.

[TerraEpon]

Well there's one that kinda looks like Michiru, but it's certainly a coincidence.

[Noy Telinú]

Well, with loads and loads of characters popping up all the time, they maybe thought it'll be good idea to do more so there's no "hey, what about these people?!"

Remember, no one knew how many senshi there were gonna be. Sailor Moon IS a senshi of a moon...

[Crescent Pulsar S]

There were no bubbles in the manga. Instead we're shown why Serenity couldn't do more than seal Metallia away, because she was stricken with grief over everyone's death. The funny thing is, she says that she'll seal away the moon too, and that she will give it to the future, so the wording could very well be interpreted to mean that everyone on the moon would be reincarnated. But with such wording, I wonder if Kodansha's translation differs.
