Why Did They Hate Sailor Saturn? 

Sorry for the bad audio quality, I know it sucks!!!! ALSO the title is asking why the *writers* hated her, *not* why the other 3 Outers hated her. We know that already guys..

They hate her because she is prettier than all of them hahaha

Damn, they did Hotaru dirty in the 90s anime.

She is the prettiest of them all ngl

They probably thought the character was too dark for a kids show. Typical writer's error. Kids can and wanna handle a lot and Saturn, although appearing dark, was *good* after all. That would've been a great lesson.

"The less we see her, the more we WANT to see her." I strongly agree.

Actual,my favorite is Saturn. I love her relationship with Chibi Moon and the Outer. Honestly, I can kind of relate to her. Both of us are young and are seen as outsiders and have difficulties in social situations. Sailor Saturn and I both think that we aren't really like by classmates. She has gave me a lot of strength and confidence in life.

They could have made so many memorable fillers episodes with the Outers and Hotaru as a family, and connect it to the story. Instead it was 30 episodes of OMG THE STARLIGHTS ARE SO HAWWWT

The thing I’ll never forgive them for is for cutting her out of the movies. Especially in the Sailor Moon S movie (Hearts in Ice). I mean, Hotaru *did* appear in the manga version of the same story! And she kicked ass!! There was *no* excuse! Them taking her out of the Sailor Moon SuperS movie (Black Dream Hole) was just insult to injury after that! I just wanted to see her animated with a bigger budget... T_T Good video and great sentiment; I’m glad others share my thoughts! Lol

I love Sailorsaturn. She was amazing. I can't wait for the Crystal version of Stars

Totally agree with your video! Sailor Saturn is terribly underrated. I wish she had gotten more screen time and a transformation scene in the 90s anime. I will never underetand why she never got the same treatment as the other senshi.

If Sailor Saturn doesn't get any screen time in this new movie I will personally destroy the entire Galaxy and everything known to existence with her Silence Glaive. 😡😠😡😠😡😠

The only thing sailor Moon crystal got right was that she got a little screen time

Honestly Sailor Saturn and Sailor Pluto deserved more respect ✋😔

I’ve always resonated with sailor Saturn so their rejection of her made me feel like rejected myself

Sailor Saturn is one of the most powerful guardians. In the manga she really kicked ass. But in the anime she was a mystery saved for last resort. She was useless. Crystal's version was way more better. They paid justice to Saturn.

In the manga, there was a positive story about Sailor Saturn. When she was reborn after suffering a short and unhappy life, the outer scouts gave her a joyous second childhood. After Saturn later regained her original form, she thanked them warmly for what they had done. I thought that this was better than any battle scene.

Yeah! They she was never in any thumbnails, she can very rarely be found in merchandise. I wish Sailor Moon put more emphasis on my favorite Sailor Scout.

“Why are you gonna kill her like that? It’s very disrespectful.” 😂 I lol’d. But you’re so right!

I was always so confused by Saturn. They made her into this huge deal of a character who could potentially destroy the universe, but she just becomes a baby and gets taken from her dad? Then she can't immediately kill the bad guy though she technically could? She seemed so important but never proved it.

Honestly!!! I read the manga after watching the 90s anime and Hotaru/Saturn went from a character I casually liked just like every other character to my favourite magical girl of all time. Another thing that bugged me was Tomoe's story being changed, mainly in relation to how it affected Hotaru. In the manga, it does feel satisfying that she went from a lonely, cyborg girl with an awful father to a powerful soldier who had many close friends and 3 powerful outer moms.

Uranus: "We are the ***THREE*** outer senshis" THREE.THREE.THREE.THREE.THREE.THree.Three.three...three...... Whoah....ouch!

It's because the 90's anime slowly made it apparent that they stopped giving a shit about any character that isn't Usagi or pink haired Usagi.

Green Magical Girls: We are the most shafted characters in the magical girl community. Sailor Saturn (90s): Hold my Silence Glaive. Really though, Saturn is my second favorite among the sailors, my first being Venus. It’s really unfortunate that the 90s version really didn’t do her justice in why she was hyped as one of the most OP and feared sailor scouts.

The thing I don't like about the 90s anime is other than completely doing Saturn and Pluto a disservice by severely undermining their roles and appearances, the Inner and Outer senshis did not work in union throughout the series like the manga, where after the Infinity arc, worked together as one, fully assembled team of Solar System Sailor Senshi.

“I just thought it was very rude” 😂😂😂 that’s a mood and a half !

Saturn is my fav not just in sailor moon but in all of anime. And I think your idea of having saturn brainwashed by Galaxia and having that epic final battle would have been batter than the way they kill her off.

“You guys are really disrespectful... I will like, try to steal your star seeds now because you tried to be rude to me and steal mine.” -Sailor Saturn 😂

They didnt hate sailor saturn. They knew her power was dangerous and they needed to stay serious about the situation.

Them writing her as useless, or completely out of the story, hurts *Rini's* character too!!! I mean; Despite everything - Everyone getting hurt, Mistress 9 possessing her, the Outers *(Uranus, Neptune & Pluto)* trying to kill her to prevent Mistress 9's revival - Rini *STILL* hoped for her, *STILL* believed Hotaru was good. Rini and the Inner Scouts were her only friends for... Goodness knows how long a time of her life!!!

I've always felt the same about how Saturn was treated in the 90s. When I was watching it as a kid on my eBay VHS tapes lol she SCARED me in S3. I was terrified of her and her power- especially as it was my first time being introduced to a story that suggested that the most powerful wasn't necessarily the lead character (although the whole Messiah debacle is always a crazy debate). But once she turned back into a baby at the end of S3, I was like "........ wait, what? So we're not gonna see her again now?!" And then I have to agree with everything else you said, especially with the opportunity for Saturn to use power after she was reintroduced to the group. I do have to say something about the Galaxia moment though. I recently watched those few episodes and realized that Saturn and Pluto surrendering to the attack was them accepting their plan they must have made before hand, when they were all swearing "whatever it takes". They must have planned with all the outers to have it go down like that, I think.

“Who is babysitting her here?” LOLOL

I’M SCREAMING EVERY TIME YOU SAY “RUDE” AND “DISRESPECTFUL”! 😂😂😂

I agree with everything except for the end about Uranus/Neptune “betraying” Pluto/Saturn. It was explained why they did that (so they can catch Galaxia off guard) and even in S, Uranus/Neptune have made it clear that their loyalty and duty are to their princess if not each other. I also think Saturn being brainwashed by Galaxia would have been a disservice to Hotaru considering her whole dilemma in S was that she was possessed by 2 different beings in her. It’s too much of a plot that should be reserved in fan fiction

I love how you have a emotional connection to these characters

They hate her cuz they ain't her.

WHY MUST SHE BE MY FAVORITE????? It hurts that she isn’t shown more love! I love Saturn so much!!!!!!!! She was my first anime crush back in elementary school! And I still have a huge soft spot for her!!!!!

She's my favorite senshi 😭

Sailor Saturn is so underrated. I remember when I was 9-10 years old, I intrigued by Hotaru's backstory (what happened before and as Mistress 9 & Saturn) in season 3 (S) of 90s anime vers. I feel her identities are so mysterious. I even drew her picture in my diary book with full colors. She's so cool with her Silent Glaive. Couldn't agree more with your point of view, they really treated Saturn badly in this anime ver. Probably because she is a warrior of ruin & reborn, so they think her character is not really necessary to make a transformation sequence, more screen time & special episode. I also don't really understand why Uranus & Neptune object to revive Saturn. But it must be because she is warrior of ruin after all. Lol

I love Saturn, agreed she definitely needed more screen time, especially more so than Darien and ESPECIALLY Rini 🙄

The thing is. Saturn is powerful so she can destroy the earth ;-;

I actually appreciate Sailor Saturn’s scarcity in Sailor Moon S. It does emphasize the importance of her role and makes you want more. You get the feeling that she is very special and unlike any of the other scouts.

They did injustice to both Sailor Saturn and Pluto! My favourite Sailor Soldiers . Both are regularly used as suicide Bombs .

I loved _Sailor Moon S._ Best season, period. From beginning to end, it was great. I loved the idea of Sailor Saturn being the evil/dark soldier. However, I thought they could've done a little more w/ her in the final season. She was a little too elusive. She definitely needed an official transformation and she needed a less intense special power. A missed opportunity was _Sailor Moon Super S._ What a waste of a season. All that Double Moon crap was so boring.

Dude even as a kid I knew it was bullshit she didn't get enough screen time. As soon as I knew about her existence I was sooo curious to see her transform and use her attacks. When she finally transformed for like 5 seconds and dissappeared from the episode I was so disappointed! She was so cool and they robbed us from seeing more of her. I think even as a kid I knew she was the coolest one. I completely agree with you here, you brought back the childhood trauma lol

Well said and I agree. Wish Sailor Saturn had more of a presence in the series for sure. Crystal is doing her story more justice but I have issues with the animation style. LOL!

TBH, I fell that all the outer senshi suffered from that same problem in the 90's anime. Pluto had her greatest moment cut from season 2 and moved to season 3. This also prevented Setsuna to be developed as a character separated from her sailor identity. Michiru / Neptune had almost no personality other then be good at everything. She could have been shown not being good at some subjects and benefiting from Amy's help is studies, despite being more advanced is school. And her waking up as a senshi should have been shown. Haruka was the better developed out of the 4 (discounting Otaru in season 3, before she woke up as Saturn). Still they could have done a better job later in season 3 and in seasons 4 and 5. I hope that, if ever there is a 3rd anime, it is a full anime with each issue being a season. And that they took the time to develop all 4 outer senshi in both their civilian and guardian forms.

I think she would have been a bit more accepted if her attacks weren’t only “shield” and “destroy everything”

I'm waiting for the Crystal Movie to finally see Saturn fighting Amazonnes!

For Christmas I’m getting a Sailor Saturn figure. My favourite Sailor Scout ever.

Chibi Usa sold a s h i t l o a d of toys during S, that's why super had the outers cut and her story delvoped more.

Uranus and Neptune didn't just try to steal Pluto's Star Seed, they wanted to try for all of them, inner and outer It was part of their plot to defeat Chaos

-This is why I love Sailor Saturn the most, because she’s the most underrated fighter ever- yet the most powerful.. 👁‍🗨👁‍🗨

LOLOL when u called out Sailor Uranus and was like “yo why you gotta steal Saturns thunder u just glowed up like last episode!” Sailor Uranus is my favorite but that really made me laugh!

I never comment on RU-vid but SERIOUSLY FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS HOW I FEEL!!!!!! Team Sailor Saturn

I love the salt in this video lol But seriously, even though Saturn wasn't my fave I loved how cool she looked/how mysterious she was and always wanted to see more of her. I was really sad as a kid when they left her out of the last movie. I read the Mangas as I watched the anime and always had this look on my face 😒

Thank you for calling out the lack of love she was given. She is my favorite with the coolest back story, lore, and powers. I also related alot to her, lonely, weak, but always wanting to help.

Sailor Saturn is one of the best Senshi. She deserves so much more love and attention. And this is coming from a Neptune fan. XD

I love it! "you really disrespectful" I would love to see you do an abridged version of the last episode, Saturn should speak her mind about how she got jipped this entire season but all of a sudden they want her to show up for the last few minutes of the last episode. That would be so funny to see Saturn go in on the rest of the cast!

hotaru is literally one of the most powerful like USE HER POWERS DAMMIT

Totally agree, they did Saturn wrong in the OG anime

The first Amv I ever made was a sailor Saturn one... i basically had to use all available footage of her to get it done lol

9:41 that scene would’ve been better than sailor moon just doing nothing but crying and letting everyone die and fight for her

I was sad that my favorite planet was not represented enough in general. Saturn's too cool.

even with only the one episode I saw when I was a kid, Saturn was one of my favorites. I also like Venus (cause I thought she was pretty when I was a kid, I watched this series when I was 10 or 11) and Star Fighter (cause I love how the relationship between him and Usagi develops more naturally than the one between Usagi and Mamoru (yes, I know Seiya is never actually a male in the manga. I'm talking strictly the 90s anime here) I actually thought this video was why Uranus and Neptune seemed to hate Saturn during season 3 when I first clicked on it XD

Wow, I never realized Saturn was cut from so many events! She's my #1 favorite Scout, and has been since the first time I learned about her during the heart snatchers saga. u.u She's wise, kind, and dark...not a combination that's easy to come by, even now. The idea of her starting off as a true villain, not just as minor antagonists like the other Outers, gave her a standard all her own. Can you imagine how cool it would have been for Saturn to intervene (or even join in) when Mini Moon turned evil later on? A best friendship that lasted even through darkness and betrayals...she'd have been the only one who could have understood Chibi Usa's dark heart. **sighs** ah, well. I do wish Pluto and Saturn would have been switched around, though. Trisha makes way more sense as Saturn, as she and her powers are all about rules and structure, which is what the planet symbolizes. Pluto, being Scorpio's ruler, is the planet of death and destruction. Hotaru's scythe, her dark colors, her mysterious and intense nature all play into that way more than a Capricorn.

This is why I love the manga. I read it over every few months lol.

I love Hotaru/Sailor Saturn. She’s my favourite. Why did they didn’t put her in the Sailor Moon SuperS The movie? I’m really disappointed that’s she’s not even in that movie.

I'm glad in sailor moon eternal movie trailers, appears sailor saturn gets more in depth and use than the 90s. I love her big open presence in the Season 3 of Crystal of not just explaining what she could do but SHOWED what she can do.

2:09 Oh wow! For years I had no idea where this transformation was from, but thanks to you I finally know the answer!

I want a third anime! I want the generals/guardians and the generals to be alive somehow (although they might just be in the rocks), Haruka and Michiru in season one and two somehow, filler, cel animation with a manga style, jazz music, new theme songs and ending themes, and every plot hole fixed, and a simuldub!

Final show down idea... that is such a perfect thought! My girl Saturn always deserved so much more...

Tbh her "attacks" in the anime. Are more so defensive. She really only has silent wall which blocks hella damage. Which is cool and all but could have been made more of a focused.

MORE SAILOR SATURN!!! MORE SAILOR SATURN!!! MORE SAILOR SATURN!!!

Didn't she kind of die and got reborn as a baby?

0:02 Me: Forgotten Green characters...

Sailor Saturn and Galaxia versus Sailor Moon and the Sailor Stars is an awesome idea!!! That woulda been fire!

I LOVE THAT IDEA FOR AN ENDING! You're brilliant. 😍

this is the ammount of times he says "disrespectful" | | v

I guess you aren't thinking about this much. The anime and the Manga are completely different story plot wise. Sailor Saturn is supposed to be "The Silence" ; a guardian only awoken to destroy the world and rebuild it. They treat her that way throughout the anime and also she's always stays a young age after reawakening, there are just some perspective shots that make her seem taller. They treat her as a weapon of destruction because that's what she has been portrayed as. Furthermore, Neptune and Uranus took her star seed as part of their plan to take down Galaxia and Saturn would most likely understand this. Also why do you keep referring to her as "Super" Sailor Saturn? Nothing in the anime ever said this power up would be considered a "Super" form. There are a lot of differences between the anime and the Manga and I don't believe they were doing anything to purposely kick Saturn out. Also The outer guardians had very little to do with the dream arc and everything relating to them that had to do with the dream arc was shown in the beginning of Sailor Stars. I'm sorry, but this argument is full of holes. The anime just has an altered story plot from the manga so you can't compare them.

You bring up some great points. I always thought it was because Saturn was supposed to be quite young and while almost all the scouts are teens, maybe they thought it wasn't appropriate? Still though, I consider Saturn to be one of the most badass scouts.

Yes!!! Your end scene idea is amazing !!! We could only dream !

Good opinions. One of the things I love the most about the 90s anime for Saturn is her somewhat nuanced color scheme. The accent ribbons are so “dark burgundy” that they show almost black most of the times, which in my modest opinion it works SO much better. I agree with you in regard to her short screentime. Unfortunately the same could be said by 3 out of the 5 Witches 5 that suffered that some destiny.

But good thing we have Sailor moon Crystal! From what I have seen the Crystal series is running more with the manga then the original anime (ex: Sailor Pluto death scene when she stops time) so there is a high chance that Saturn will get more screen time

In general they did a lot of disservice to the outer scouts.

My hope is that in the new sailor moon Eternal movie and if they make sailor stars into another series or movie that we get to see more sailor Saturn.

I really want a season that focuses on the in between, when Usagi becomes Neo Queen Serenity and everything that happens to her earth family and friends.

Sailor Saturn is my fave and i'm glad she's way more important in the manga

Saturn has always been my favourite!! I remember being a little kid on the edge of my seat throughout Sailor Moon S and I dressed like Hotaru at school. I liked the rest of Sailor Moon but nothing stood up to Sailor Moon S to me and it's the only season I've really rewatched.

I love Saturn so much. She’s pretty much my favorite design, maybe even my favorite character. Sadly she just doesn’t get enough screen time for me to know if she really would be. It’s hard for me to pay attention to manga for a long time unless it’s all super interesting (if I haven’t seen it) so I never actually got around to finishing it.

The first 6 episodes of Sailor Stars are probably my favorite ''mini-arc'' of the entire show

After the revolution, we‘re gonna get a perfect adaptation, I am certain.

Watch Sailor Moon Crystal season 3. Saturn finally got her transformation and attack, thank god for that! :)

Super cool ideas!! Love the video! Finally Hotaru gets the attention she deserves!👍😊

The scene you made up with Saturn becoming evil would have been awesome

Bruuuuh Why it took me so long to realize Chibiusa-Chibi Usagi Rini-Mini Serena

You should do a video on how they changed Pluto's skin tone. That has always bothered me!

I’m glad somebody else noticed this! I LOVE Sailor Saturn and it makes me so sad she doesn’t get any love from the writers. It also makes me sad when there is artwork of every scout except for her.

I love how u know I keep calling the sailors as the American names. I love this video!!! And ur so good with it!!!

I LOVE SAILOR SATURN
