thread_title: Interview with Megumi Ogata

message: Hi there. In the Variations section it says:
Like the other Outer Senshi, Haruka is sometimes considered colder and almost unfeeling, due to the anime's more fatalistic and grim additions to the original manga plot.
I don't really get this sentence. I believe the manga is way more grim than the anime, and Haruka less colder in the last one. Opinions? By the way, should we try to nominate this article for GA? I think it could pass. :-) Cheers! Raystorm 16:08, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that doesn't make sense. The manga's way darker. And I'd rather not nominate this article until Ami's is finished with its Peer Review--among other things, a lot of it needs to be rewritten and merged together so that the sections match hers. --Masamage 19:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okie dokie, will wait. :-) I've removed the 'due to the anime' part of the above sentence. What do you think about the 'arguably, her standoffishness is more pronounced in the anime' following sentence? I think it could be struck out too, or else modified. Raystorm 21:15, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The 'arguably' at least needs to go. Haruka is extremely severe and independent when she needs to be, but she's also extremely cheerful and outgoing. Certainly more overtly friendly than Michiru. It's why everyone gets crushes on her in defiance of their own sexual orientation. :P So I'm not sure that bit says what it needs to be saying. --Masamage 01:45, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Agreed, the word "arguably" has no place in encyclopedia articles. JuJube 01:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Haruka always calles Usagi "odango," even in the original. It's a term of endearment. --Masamage 22:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: A number of songs featuring Haruka's character have been released.
In the original anime, Haruka had two character singles, one of which was not sung by Ogata Megumi due to the demands of her role as Shinji Ikari in Neon Genesis Evangelion.
:*"Kaze ni Naritai" (I Want to Become the Wind), sung by Ogata Megumi
:*"Initial U" from Sailor Stars, sung by Ooki Risa
From the musicals, sung by various actresses:
:*"Making for the Right"
:*"Chou bi! Uranus and Neptune."(duet with Sailor Neptune)
:*"Orleans no Sei Senshi - Uranus - Neptune no Uragiri" (Soldiers of Orleans - Uranus and Neptune's Betrayal)(duet with Sailor Neptune)
:*"Sailor War!"
:*"Broken Mobius"
:*"Harsh! Saint Cry!"(duet with Sailor Neptune)
:*"Destined Couple"
::"Destined Couple" was also a duet with Sailor Neptune, and why is Sailor War! there, it was sung by all senshi besides Chibi-Moon and the Starlights and yet it is not listed for them.Yayamaya 02:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Music Storage 

message: Um... I don't know who put that as an alternate of "Uranus World Shaking", but Sailor Uranus NEVER called her attack "Globe Cracker" in the English adaptation, so I have removed it. ~ Fighter4luv 12:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I assumed it was in the SuperS movie, where all the other attack names are mangled even worse. I don't have access to that in English, though. --Masamage ♫ 16:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Globe Cracker??? 

message: "Patron" could mean they have sponsors who fund Haruka's race car driving and Michiru's violin lessons, or it could be intended as a (humorous) reference to enjo kōsai - the English translation makes it unclear.
Should it be deleted? It sounds like the "could be" speculation plus it implies the characters are prostituting themselves. =P. A smaller note he delineation between manga and anim is a bit fuzzy, could it be organized a bit better so it's clear? --Hitsuji Kinno 15:18, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No objections? If not I'll remove it this weekend. --Hitsuji Kinno 13:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I think that sentence can be removed completely. The fact that they have patrons and don't talk about is inherently wacky; following it up with a sentence that says "this is wacky" isn't really necessary. Especially with the speculation, which leaves out various other possibilities, such as Haruka not being serious and just trying to get a rise out of Michiru. For all we know, Queen Serenity sent the royal treasury to the future and the two of them just ended up with it. Or maybe Setsuna is their patron. --Masamage ♫ 17:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed move to Sailor Uranus

message: Do Rei and Haruka really "become very close" in the manga? I don't remember that at all. --Masamage ♫ 15:05, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, not really. Only in the anime, as far as I remember (that ep with Yuichiro). In fact, in the Super S manga, when the Inner senshi lose their powers, I believe it's Pluto who inspires Rei. Raystorm   (¿Sí?) 15:26, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. And since Haruka is friends with everybody in at least one episode, that seems pretty unimportant on its own. I'm gonna revert the addition. (I think it's Michiru who inspires Rei, though. Telling her to pull taut the bowstring in her soul and all.) --Masamage ♫ 19:27, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wasn't that in the anime, vs Neherenia? :P Anyway, it wasn't Uranus. Raystorm   (¿Sí?) 21:24, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unlikely, since I've never seen that part of the anime. o.o But I've got volume 12, and it looks like my memory was right. Uranus is the inspiration for Jupiter, though. --Masamage ♫ 22:06, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's in Stars, remember? Mars is a bit impressed with Neptune, and they are caught by one of the Neherenia-look-a-likes. :-P She tells Mars to shoot, blah blah blah (don't want to spoil it!). ;-) Raystorm   (¿Sí?) 22:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I remember the fight but I dont remember her saying that could wikiqoute tell us? ♥Fighting for charming Love♥ 22:26, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: never mind I checked they don't sorry ♥Fighting for charming Love♥ 22:30, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Michiru says,"You two are good friends, just like Uranus and me."
Rei says"Don't compare us like that".
During the battle with Nehelenia, Rei is impressed with Michiru as she has better "sense" than her. Also, Michru so calls "inspire" Rei to shoot her Flame Sniper so that they could rescue Usagi. I don't remember Haruka being close to Rei, only in one episode(Yuichiro one), but I'll check the manga later. This could just be a view of a person though.--Hanaichi 23:43, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Friendship with Rei 

message: This suggests that fan response was the reason why in the Mixx/Tokyopop translated manga, Haruka was swiftly named back to her original name instead of Alex - does anyone have any further information on it? Cos I think it would be cool to put it in the Reception section (once we get it running). -Malkinann (talk) 11:40, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've heard about the fan resistance being so strong that Tokyopop was forced to change the Outers names to their original. It should be somewhere on the net lol. I'll try finding out. --Hanaichi 12:10, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Cheers - don't strain yourself, though - I think that link says enough if we can't end up finding any more. -Malkinann (talk) 07:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have scans of the english manga. They call her just Haruka in S, but when SuperS roles around they try makeing that her family name and giveing her the first name of Alex but they only use that name like 5 times, alternateing between calling her Haruka and Alex. The others aren't called the names they tried to give them much either. It seemed like two people were working on it or something. Lego3400:  The Sage of Time (talk) 00:48, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Alex?

message: What does this mean? Does it mean she is troublesomely popular with men? Or that she's attracted to them? Or that she hates them? What's the line from the episode? --Masamage ♫ 03:54, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: IIRC, it's the episode where they all eat at Usagi's house.  I believe Usagi said she heard Haruka doesn't like men, and then Michiru says she doesn't like popular men.  Haruka grumbles that neither is true; the subtext is she just doesn't like Seiya. JuJube (talk) 04:41, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Do we have good enough sources to talk about all the insane Haruka's-gender rumors down in the Reception section? --Masamage ♫ 16:12, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The only source we really need is a waybacked version of SoS (Save our Senshi). They are the ones that started that idiotic theory. Lego3400:  The Sage of Time (talk) 17:26, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, we also need something academic saying that the "Prince Uranus" theory is notable...  Martha Cornog and Timothy Perper say that Haruka is "dual gendered", which is interesting... -Malkinann (talk) 20:55, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's exactly what we'd need. And Takeuchi kind of talks about her as dual-gendered, too, so that is interesting. Could we add that ref to the part of the article that talks about that? Meanwhile, please keep an eye out for anyone talking about the Prince Uranus rumor. Or the Pop Tart campaign. :D --Masamage ♫ 21:49, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Ironically, it might be worth stating that even though the characters might be classified as cousins instead of a couple, this doesn't contradict each other in japanese culture to my knowledge. It is, or at least was, not unusual to date the own cousin.
I know about this because I wondered about in the anime Elfen lied, where there is clearly indicated two characters are attracted to each other, but also cousins, so I checked back then.
So, in summary, even though it might have been changed from the Japanese original in this case, being a cousin in Japan doesn't seem to be an excuse to not be a love interest to each other, unlike in western countries.

thread_title:  Regarding Censorship, additional note 

message: I just noticed that in the Japanese dub of Sailor Moon Eternal, Sailor Saturn addresses Neptune and Pluto as "Mama" and Uranus as "Papa" ("Papa Haruka-San" or something). Not sure if it's noteworthy enough to be added to the article. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 23:06, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
