Today, it was announced that Emi Shinohara, Jupiter's VA, has sadly passed away at the age of 61. She was an amazing woman who gave positively electrifying performances as Makoto and countless other roles that will never be forgotten. May she rest in peace.🙏💚
I love Jupiter so freaking much. She's so strong, powerful, adorable, and so cute!!! She is the main reason why i'm doing a musical short film about her.
I loved her because she didn’t need to use her magical powers to have an effect on the fight, and more than any other sailor scout, would use a magic attack without having to go through the wind up animation with all the twirling and what not. It always made her seem to be the most practical of the sailor scouts.
Much like Sailor Mars, Jupiter seems to be focused on raw damage rather than precision or utility: Her attacks hit very hard and they often can more hit than one target. She has strong cleave potential with her Supreme Thunder, and solid AoE with her Oak Evolution. Sparkling Wide Pressure lacks the multitarget potential, but makes it up with increased precision.
Emi Shinohara, who voiced Jupiter, passed away on September 8, 2024. We pray for her soul to rest in peace.(ジュピターの声を担当していただきました篠原恵美さんが2024年9月8日に亡くなりました。ご冥福をお祈りします。)
She is great. Brave and powerful. Very determined. Thats why i love her along with Mars. But she is morw adorable. Tough but lovely and romantic at the same time
Best lightning-mage. Beautiful, inspiring, straight, adorable. Ready to defeat and destroy any foes that stand between her and her friends or even die for them. Agressive and suppressive attacks just like with Rei. One tier of coolness and passion as Rei for sure.
The animation direction in these sequences is quite good! I never watched the show while it was airing on Toonami, but perhaps it's time I gave it a shot. :)
As the seasons progressed, other characters were highlighted for their powers and so the inner senshi's attacks became less impactful. Jupiter got nerfed in that her power only grew a little from season to season, while the enemy's power grew a lot.
My favorite Sailor Guardian bar none! And one of the few characters to have a japanese voice actor that sounds kick ass! (I prefer English dub when it comes to anime).
Her attacks from the movies are so beautiful. They showcase her fierceness and her athleticism. I mean come on she was doing a baseball pitch with a ball of electricity. That’s cool as fuck.
2.06 eso es un chidori en toda, si o que, lastima que nunca las vimos ser creativas con los ataques, ya que mucho podian dar aun más versatilidad en combate
@@csan5140 It's because of god of thunder Jupiter (or Zeus in greek mythology) in which her planet's name came from. He has oak as one of his sacred symbols.
@@csan5140 she has actually nature and thunder-related powers. This is more visibile in the manga/crystal, in the 90s anime she doesn’t really show that Infact, to perform the oak evolution she should wear the oak crown but the anime doesn’t seem to show that
I know this comment is old, but in the manga she starts with both a lightning attacks and Flower Hurricane which creates a storm of razor sharp flower petals. It contnued with Coconut Cyclone (which is actually just a blustery ball of lightning and wind). So it actually tracks.
I kno that the Outers are supposedly "stronger" than the Inners, but IDK I feel like Jupiter is up there with them. She has so much potential & she's very powerful.
No supposing about it, Jupiter is strong but not on their level. Saturn has two abilities that can literally destroy the entire solar system (at the cost of her life), Pluto can stop time (again at the cost of her life), Uranus is is both inanely fast and incredibly strong, and Neptune is just not only talented but has heightened sense and awareness that rivals Rei.
@@stormkeeper1741I think Jupiter is stronger than Uranus but just in natural strength. I forgot which episode they fight in, but Uranus has height, speed, experience, and skill on Jupiter. She knows where to aim and knock out an enemy swiftly. However with Jupiter I think she made Uranus’ hand bleed (?) as well as can throw an entire person across (as referenced to the scene before she transforms for the first time). That’s just my 2 cents though.
2:09 walk away from that without pissing blood into the toilet the next day and putting off a doctor's visit against your better judgement, I dare you.
There's one Supreme Thunder attack missing from the list here which had another unique animation.. the one when the Scouts face Kaorinite atop Tokyo Tower.
