10 Best Sailor Moon Quotes That Won Fans Over Forever

by

One day, an ordinary, somewhat clumsy and emotional student named Usagi Tsukino encounters a life-changing event. While saving a cat with a crescent mark from peril, she unknowingly meets Luna, a celestial being who reveals her hidden destiny – to transform into Sailor Moon, one of Earth’s protectors against cosmic threats. Equipped with her magical brooch, Usagi must embark on a mission to safeguard the planet by vanquishing malevolent creatures dispatched by Queen Beryl of the Dark Kingdom. Along her journey, she seeks out the lost Moon Kingdom princess and fellow Sailor Guardians, as well as the mythical Silver Crystal – all essential in maintaining harmony between Earth and the universe.

The popular animated series, often referred to as “Sailor Moon,” or more formally as “Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon” or “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon,” is widely recognized as the epitome of magical girl anime. This franchise encompasses: the 1991-1997 manga series consisting of 18 volumes, penned by Naoko Takeuchi and published by Kodansha; the original four seasons (around 40 episodes each) and three films produced by Toei Animation between 1992 and 1997; and a 2014 reboot titled “Sailor Moon Crystal,” which strives to deliver a more accurate representation of the initial manga. With its memorable characters, recurring monster-of-the-week storylines, enchanting transformation scenes, and characteristic rosy (unintentional) tint, “Sailor Moon” has endured as a cherished and eternal magical girl series. Moreover, it stands out not only as one of the most iconic shows in its genre but also for boasting some of the most unforgettable, timeless quotes in television history.

10) In the Name of the Moon

“In the name of the Moon, I’ll punish you!” – Usagi Tsukino, aka Sailor Moon

In times of trouble, when evil lurks and chaos reigns, this phrase serves as a fierce battle cry – simple, yet effectively intimidating.” This sentence captures the essence of the original text while maintaining its tone and context.

9) An Anime About Me

“I wish someone would make an anime about me.” – Usagi Tsukino
Sailor Moon, Episode 21

In the upcoming plot, the episode revolves around turmoil at a cartoon studio. As Usagi watches a commercial on TV for an impending anime featuring Sailor V, she envies her character and yearns to have her own series too. To which Luna responds skeptically, “If someone is willing to create such a foolish show, I’d have to witness it to believe it.” Let me tell you, Usagi, we understand your longing; who wouldn’t want life to be an anime? But, brace yourself, Luna, because you’re about to receive a harsh dose of reality.

8) “I, Tuxedo Mask, will never forgive you!”

“Your name’s ‘Torpedo A-s’?”
– Kurumiwario
Sailor Moon SuperS, Episode 18

In this episode, while Usagi and Chibiusa are rehearsing for a ballet show, Fish Eye calls forth the doll Kurumiwario, who is resembling a nutcracker. Instead of teaching them to dance or offering guidance, it appears that Kurumiwario intends to engage in combat with them. Upon finishing his unclear instructions, this odd sentient doll issues a warning to the girls: “You’ll be dancing in Hell!” Tuxedo Mask intervenes on behalf of Usagi and Chibiusa, but it seems as though Kurumiwario might have misunderstood the situation.

7) So Many Things to Do Today

Today’s schedule is quite packed for me! I plan on returning home earlier, grabbing a quick bite, and completing the remaining levels of my game.

[Reference: Sailor Moon, Episode 9]

Afterward, go ahead and have a relaxing bath… Whoa, I didn’t realize how late it is! It’s a good reminder for us all, regardless of age, to make time for leisure activities. Perhaps you could spend some time playing that video game you bought on sale but haven’t had the chance to play yet, or simply enjoy a favorite snack you’ve been craving. Don’t forget to pamper yourself every now and then.

6) Procrastination 101

Instead of anticipating our study session together, I found myself strolling into the Game Center only to witness Minako, my usual study partner, in high spirits, chatting with Motoki, the clerk. In this moment, her thoughts struck me: “Youth only comes once in a lifetime. If I miss out on entrance exams, it’s not the end of the world. What truly terrifies me is growing old and wondering why I didn’t seize more joyful moments.” Even Motoki was left pondering as he murmured, “It seems she needs to study more than I initially thought…

Delay tasks that aren’t urgent if they can wait until another day.”

This version retains the essence of the original quote while being written in a more modern and accessible language. It also ensures clarity for those who may not be familiar with the Sailor Moon series or characters.

Minako often twists common sayings in unusual ways, much like how Michael Scott from “The Office” would rephrase idioms. Here are some examples:

* Instead of “There’s no use crying over spilled milk,” she might say “Spilt milk? Who needs it!”
* Rather than “When you stare at love the love also stares back at you,” she could say “Love is not just a gaze, it requires action.”
* Instead of “Don’t count your eggs before they’re chickens,” she might say “Better to hatch a plan than worry about what might be.”
* Instead of “Two birds in the bush is better than no birds,” she could say “It’s always good to have options, but don’t rush into decisions.”
* Instead of “Act now, sink later,” she might say “Swift action can lead to success, but take time to consider your next move.”
* Instead of “The early bird is mightier than the sword,” she could say “Being prepared and acting quickly can give you an advantage.”
* And instead of “Some chocolate a day keeps the doctor away…”, she might say “A little indulgence never hurt anyone!”

So, Minako may be likened to the Sailor Moon equivalent of Michael Scott from The Office!

5) Whacky English Dub Strikes Again

“Go bleach your roots, creep!”
– Ami Mizuno, aka Sailor Mercury
Sailor Moon, Episode 31

Is this a casual remark added in the condensed version? Not at all, it’s a witty comeback from the DiC dub, delivering some sharp quips. Is one of the female characters being hit on by a blond playboy? Nope, that’s just Sailor Mercury retorting to her adversary, firing off this brilliant retort while under attack by the malevolent villain Kunzite, or Malachite as the DiC dub refers to him.

4) There is Always an Opportunity for Redemption

Should you have noticed your error, you’re now free to set things right moving forward.”

Or more colloquially:
“If you’ve caught on to your blunder, from here on out, you can make amends and change for the better.

In the course of the series, Usagi occasionally acknowledges her tendency to emotional outbursts and moments of laziness, indulging in comforts like food or sleep. Yet, she demonstrates maturity and growth too, such as when she manages to convince Prince Demande that Wiseman had been misleading him. Moved by this truth, Demande decides to save Usagi, placing his life at risk. Even though he laments his late realization of the truth, Usagi reassures him that admitting faults and taking responsibility are crucial steps towards redemption if one is determined to change.

3) Creating Your Future

“The future is something you create yourself.” – Sailor Mercury
Sailor Moon, Episode 27

In this story, although Ryo feels trapped by a seemingly fixed destiny, Ami urges him to take control of his own future. Even when faced with circumstances beyond our control, the attempt to build a brighter tomorrow remains valuable. It may not always be easy, but believing in oneself can help shape one’s fate.

2) A Dream Is Only for the Night

At night, we may dream, but come morning, a fresh day unfolds.” – Artemis

Or, in the context of Sailor Moon: Sailor Stars, Episode 6:
“Nighttime is for dreaming, but as dawn breaks, a new day arises.” – Artemis

Even when things seem darkest, remember that time has a healing power. Even in the midst of difficult circumstances, holding onto hope can help lead us towards brighter days. Encouraging yourself with a sense of optimism can serve as a reminder that success is on its way. So, reassure yourself: “You’re going to be alright,” or, “Everything will work out in the end.” Focusing on the promise of happier times ahead can help you stay resilient and keep moving forward.

1) Love Over Fighting

If guardianship implies causing harm, count me out! Peace is the path I prefer; conflicts rarely bring about anything beneficial. You know, aggression isn’t the only means to resolving disputes.”

(Sailor Moon: Sailor Stars, Episode 34)

In the thrilling finale of the series, a voice calling itself the Beacon of Hope bestows upon me, Sailor Moon, the Sword of Sealing to vanquish Galaxia. Yet, I remain unwavering in my pursuit of one ideology that I believe can triumph over any adversity: peace. I grasp the essence that conflict shouldn’t dictate our actions and if it did, I wouldn’t think twice about relinquishing my title as a Sailor Scout. Fueled by hope and steadfastness, even when faced with losing everything and everyone I cherish, is what keeps me going. Ultimately, maintaining faith in love instead of violence preserves my optimism for the world, strengthens my resolve, and allows me to hold onto those dear to me.

Sailor Moon is available for streaming on Hulu, Tubi, and Pluto TV.
