Ranma/Sailor moon fusion help version 2

Except that the main characters have the least useful things there. Its why i asked here in the first place.[/quote]

I know, that's why I said "some". The Wikipedia article appear to be more informative (just follow the links for each character as the senshi each have their own page). There's also The Oracle which is good if you want to know all of their attacks and transformations but it's not very good for their bios (only the PGSM versions appear to have bios). I'm trying to find another sight that I know of but it appears to be gone now.

[Noy Telinú]

Whoops. Sorry about that.

By looking at the oracle, the moon people remind me of the forerunners from Halo. O_o

But... Minako travels to London and Greece and such, so are they rich? Or what?

[Crescent Pulsar S]

I believe she only goes to/lives in the United Kingdom in the anime.

In the (Sailor V) manga, she was able to go to China because she won an audition to star in a movie being filmed there. As for Greece, she had won a (lottery) trip to Hawaii but accidentally got on a plane that went there instead.

As far as I can tell, her family does not seem to be well-off. They're probably in the same tax bracket as Usagi's family.

[Noy Telinú]

*channeling Jon Stewart*

Ok, two things, one, how about the trip to London that lasts long enough to live there, and TWO! Usagi's family owns a home in Tokyo which means they have some wealth...

[Crescent Pulsar S]

For London, you'll have to ask someone who's more familiar with the anime, as I don't recall that ever being addressed.

Define "wealth," as even a penny can be considered wealth in the right context. If being middle-class is considered wealthy and/or rich, then they probably are. But there's too much to assume with how little information there is, but it's doubtful that Usagi's family is upper-class. For instance, while it can certainly depend on the publication, the only known person to have an income (the father) is a magazine editor or somesuch thing, and the chances of him being among the ones that make enough to be considered rich is very, very low.

[Noy Telinú]

I know not wealthy, wealthy, but a more upper middle class than lower.

Anyway... more about Minako, I prefer the manga version, what can you tell me about her that differs from the anime?

[Crescent Pulsar S]

Upper-middle is possible, but I'd personally place my bet on middle.

That differs? Well, actually, between the two there isn't much difference, character-wise. It's mostly in the details surrounding her and her past that is more extensive in the manga that really sets them apart. You get a look into her school, her friends, her family, what she did while Sailor V (as expected of a manga by the same name ;p ), and other things of interest (such as her relationship with the superintendent general of the metropolitan police department).

[Noy Telinú]

I heard that Anime Minako is a ditz or a fake ditz while the manga one wasn't.

So... is that not true?

[Crescent Pulsar S]

They're both real ditzes, though not completely. Perhaps the only difference is that the Minako from the manga is more serious in serious situations, but this is true of several senshi between the anime and the manga, where the anime has a greater opportunity and inclination toward injecting some kind of humor into battles and such.

The easiest way to describe it is that there's a greater separation of mindset depending on the circumstances, where she'll be a ditz outside of serious situations and more focused and competent within them. It's not really a question of whether it's fake or not, because you could just as well argue that her mindset in serious situations is fake. And I'm sure that the argument over which is really fake would be long and ultimately fruitless.

[Noy Telinú]

Ok.

On Rei, she's more serious in the manga and has father issues, but does she just hate boys and romance or is she a lesbian? O_o

[Crescent Pulsar S]

I wouldn't go so far as to call her a lesbian, but there are a few things to take into consideration. The first is that they're all devoted to Usagi and their purpose as senshi to such an extent that they will ultimately choose that over the kind of things and futures that ordinary people aim for in general (like finding someone to start a family with, having a career, and stuff like that). The second is that the senshi are a close-knit group and will undoubtedly spend a lot of time together. The third is that not only did Takeuchi include the existence of homosexual relationships as being viable (particularly among sailor senshi), but there is also some possible suggestion that more than one such pairing may be possible, which refers to the second thing I mentioned.

Rei is potentially the only one who could believably be made into a lesbian (who wasn't one explicitly already), all things considered. Even the shy and studious Ami is shown having some interest in a guy (Motoki, who runs the arcade and parlor). Rei's the only one who not only hasn't shown any interest in a guy (after the experience that made her swear off interest in men), but has openly shown her disinterest if not disdain for them. And with such lines as, "actually, we don't need any men," while drawing up close to Minako in one instance, that could give people the wrong (or is that right, in this case?) idea.

[Spokavriel]

Big difference from the anime where she tries to snag Mamoru, Also crushes on the scruffy apprentice her grandfather hires. And clearly appreciates men.

[Noy Telinú]

Hmmm... Interesting...

That changes one of my ideas slightly, but perhaps for the better.

Speaking on orientations... Is Rei that beautiful that even the girls want her or is Usagi bi?

And who else would most likely be bi?

[Crescent Pulsar S]

Speaking on orientations... Is Rei that beautiful that even the girls want her or is Usagi bi?

That's hard to say. It's not all that uncommon for girls in anime and manga to (openly) admire another girl's beauty without there being any sexual attraction behind it. With all of the bishounen guys and crossdressing girls that Usagi's taken an interest in, who knows?

But it may very well be that Rei is exceptionally beautiful, seeing as she's the only character whose countenance and bearing was emphasized on (to the point where Luna thinks she's the princess, which she never assumed of anyone else). Not only did Ami feel the need to tell Usagi that such a person rides the same bus as her, but Usagi is so entranced when she sees her that she has hearts in her eyes and decides to follow her (still with hearts in her eyes) since she didn't have anything else to do.

And who else would most likely be bi?

Personally, unless they're die-hard for one sex like Minako, I think you can usually find a way to make someone bisexual in a believable way. It's going the opposite way of what's expected that I feel shouldn't be attempted unless you really know what you're doing. But in terms of believability and/or ease to portray someone as bisexual? The first person who comes to mind is Hotaru. Not only because of who raised her, but she hasn't shown any interest in a guy. Also, in one of Chibi-Usa's Diary stories, not only is she possessive enough over Chibi-Usa to get in a tug of war over her (with Chibi-Usa being the one tugged on, of course), but she was particularly interested in (blushing over) a Sailor Chibi Moon doll.

[Noy Telinú]

Alright, let's get these out there.

Michiru Bi or Lesbian in a lesbian relationship.

Ami? What do you think is hers?

Minako you said is super straight.

Rei in the manga is likely a lesbian.

Makoto most likely straight due to sempai, could be lying to herself, though.

Haruka is lesbian.

Setsuna maybe bi. Living forever will do that.

And you said Hotaru is most likely to be bi.

Is this accurate?
