#36 Time for Star Powers
…And yes, Luna has no eyes 8D
Hi! I'm Chibi Jen and I've been making cute and fun Sailor Moon comic strips since 2009. If you enjoy my comics, please consider tipping to show your appreciation. Thanks for the support ❤
Usagi: Wow, what is this? A super early Christmas present?
Artemis: I think you mean late…
Luna: We have one for each of you.
Luna: These are new transformation wands and communicators.
Minako: Wow! Star powers!
Makoto: We’ll be so much stronger with these power ups!
Minako: But..Ami’s leaving us for Germany…
Rei:..Doesn’t this mean…?!
Makoto: Yeah, she won’t be needing hers…
Rei: We could have used these to fight Queen Beryl, but you waited ’til now to give it to us!
Ami: And only when I’m gone?
Rei: We died in vain.
Artemis: I think you mean late…
Luna: We have one for each of you.
Luna: These are new transformation wands and communicators.
Minako: Wow! Star powers!
Makoto: We’ll be so much stronger with these power ups!
Minako: But..Ami’s leaving us for Germany…
Rei:..Doesn’t this mean…?!
Makoto: Yeah, she won’t be needing hers…
Rei: We could have used these to fight Queen Beryl, but you waited ’til now to give it to us!
Ami: And only when I’m gone?

Ithink they need to get a memory bank.
blind as a cat. lol
Rei: We could have used these to fight Queen Beryl, but you til now to give it to us?
Me: And *after* Usagi got another power-up?
lol xD TRU DAT
I’ve always had a thought like this in the first season, when Usagi is given the moon wand. “You couldn’t have given this to her one episode sooner, when she might have saved Nephrite with it?” It’s all Luna’s fault that Naru had to suffer.
I always assumed that the cats’ memories are still a bit muddled on some details and abilities due to the whole “stasis space pods for countless eons”. That can’t be good for such a prolonged period of time. We have seen how forgetful and lazy Artemis can be and then there’s how when Luna first encountered Ami, Luna thought Ami could had been a youma! Surely Planetary Energy is much more different than youma/Queen Metalia. So the possibility of brain damage or difficulty with memory recollection is possible. After a long period of recuperating, it probably just took them a while to piece together how to make the powerups. Yeah, too little too late, I know, but they could had been or still are braindamaged.
I think that they just forgot where they put the stuff, because in the original, Luna seems to teleport or make the items herself.
Comes out of her butt XD
Poor Ami-chan T_T
It’s funny, how would it be if they had all the crystal power ups when they were fighting beryl?! She would be toast…
I totally forgot that Ami was going to leave for Germany! I need to watch R again, it’s been so long.
“We are cats, what would you expect from a pet intelect” ^_^
Oh dear looks like Luna and Artemis are about to become BBQ.
i LUV this comics
“we died in vain” lol, it’s funny and true
lol i luv moonsticks they r gr8 it is fun time moonsticks time. “super early christmas present?” “i think u mean late…” hahaha this is so gr8
Thanks lovely :)
Is star power the one with the super power-ups?
Star powers is the one the senshi have during R and S
hahaha!Luna and Artemis are so cute! but,luna not have eyes?!
It’s intentional :)
go rei!!! luna looks funny.
I can’t draw cats XD
lol, that is a good point! They could have at least upgraded them against the doom tree, that was sort of a random time to!
hehehe, the doom tree wasn’t as hard to defeat though and since they could without their star powers it’s not really needed.. but they actually die against Beryl. XD
waaa luna has no eyes and wat do u mean we died in vain ?
Sailor Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus died during the battle against Queen Beryl.. so they kinda died for nothing- meaning they would have beaten Beryl if Luna had given them their star powers during that time.
Of course if you’re watching the dub no one dies or gets hurt and their all just captured and then suddenly appear to help serenity while partly transparent during the final battle. Nope totally not dead <.<
The dub should die in a fire…..
I still don’t get it,why star power?in eternal form they have stars all over teir fuku-http://mangastyle.net/book4/4-56-57.jpg( it have been for the anime version,in the manga-http://mangastyle.net/book4/4-55.jpg originaly they don’t have wings and chibi-usa has the same
fuku as the gardian senshi)noako takuichi should have picked another henshi frase,but they transform in to eternal with the same frase as for super transformetion
From what I can see, their transformation sticks are star shaped XD
I just discovered your comics and all I can say is THEY’RE AWESOME! I love Rei’s expression in the last panel.
Welcome to MoonSticks and thanks for dropping by :D!
Lol! Do the senshi not care that crapping out 4 transformation pens with stars on the tops AND 5 communication watches is a very long and painful process????? XD
lol! I assume you’re referring to SMA?
My memory is fuzzy but do the Outers get star powers too or not?
ummmmm…. I’m actually not sure- I don’t think so? I think she skipped from ‘Uranus Planet Power” to…the Super form which is I assume “Crystal” power? In the stars arc she has a Super upgrade but I don’t think we see a henshin sequence.
Plus, the outer senshi’s normal “Planet Power” appeared stronger than the Inner senshi’s “star” power so maybe it wasn’t even necessary? XD
Allow me to explain. By the time the outer Senshi appeared in the manga, the Inner Senshi had upgraded from Star to Planet Power Make-up. An Upgrade that didn’t happen in the anime. They were at the same level in the manga. dunno why the anime didn’t give it to them…
that’s so cute
congrats!
aw, thanksss :D
Hahahahaha!
That’s soooo true! Why DO they wait so long? Especially when Ami is going to leave…what’s with that?
lol, they thought it was an awesome farewell present ^_^
“Wow! Another powerup! You don’t get these once per season, no sir, powerups like this are rare indeed!”
Cause no one gets awesome power-ups for free, without hard work and training :D!
;)
First they were looking for the Moon Princess who was with them all along.
And now, they get new power-ups when one of them is missing and they’ve already defeated Queen Beryl… Shame… Explain yourselves, Luna and Artemis! ^-^
Awesome work, Chibi Jen! Ganbatte ne!
heehee thank you! I will!
OMG. THIS. XDDDDDDDDDDDD
Y’know, I do remember royal pets like shih tzus were supposed to be ornamental animals. I can’t blame the kitties for trying to be smarter than just ornamental animals, but seriously come on, I’d have barbecued them like Rei most likely would based on the 4th panel!
They spent months looking for somebody that they’d ALREADY FOUND!
Next, they hold back new upgrades until ONE OF THEM IS LEAVING!
Honestly, can’t those cats do anything right?
XD yah!
Oh boy, I love it when they go “screw the rules, I have a heart-wrenching story about leaving your friends to tell.” :D
But seriously, I liked that episode. Never thought about the actual logic…until now, but sometimes I reckon you just have to suspend logic and enjoy the story. :)
yesh, it was a very sweet episode ^_^
lol
Thanks for the lol.
lol XD
Haha yes! I love how Mina looks in the 3rd panel, like she is about to cry. And go Rei!
Thanks Digilee ^.^ (And for the suggestion!)
^_^ It always did kind of bug me that Luna and Artemis seemed to have this ability to give them starpower, but waited for like the most random time to give it them. Why not just give them Star Power to begin with? I mean I think Sailor Mercury would have lasted longer in the fighter against the DD Girls had she had an ACTUAL attack!
Because Luna & Artemis suck.
Haha lol good one Jen, and welcome back! I remember Ami leaving. :( It was so sad.
Thank you AmaraMichelle ^_^!
Yeah, the episode was a sad one :(
Haha lol, nice one Jen! And welcome back I might add, Merry C
:)
So true! :) (from rhphan, just changed my user)
^^ (No worries! I recognise your gravatar :D :D!)
That’s an interesting point. ^.^ but I don’t blame Luna and Artemis not giving them before they fought Beryl, I mean they may not of been able to handle/control their powers. Sailor Moon is the one anime that I can think of when new powers come easily right away after they recieve them and there is no ‘this new power is hard to control stage’. I don’t watch that much anime, but the one’s I watch usually have a small period when new powers aren’t quite controlled yet. So yeah, they may not of been able to handle them when they faught Beryl. I don’t blame Rei though for getting upset.. she did die after all.
Great comic as usual. :D
How were they were able to control their first powers? xD
But yeah, that’s probably the only explainable excuse, though not very convincing since they never mention it. They just randomly decided to give them new items. xD That’s how I saw it anyway.
usually have a small period when new powers aren’t quite controlled yet.
Oh, this did happen with Sailor Moon and the Holy Grail though, as well as when Sailor Moon first turns from Super to Eternal form :) The other senshi have no problems; not even when Pegasus gave them an enormous amount of power XD
Yeah, I forgot about that. I don’t know why since Super is my favorite season. She never really had any problem controlling it though, but I will count being absolutely exhausted after it as a major defect.
First powers would be easy to control, just have to get used to the fact that you have them. I love anime, books and whatever were at the beginning the hero is like ‘What? I have these powers? And I’m supposed to SAVE THE WORLD!? Who do you think I am, Superman?’ :D Pretty much that’s the drill for magic/powers/fantasy.
HAHA! Good point! Never thought of that!
Love goofy Usagi’s “early present” line! FUNNY!
heeehhee, thank you Brad! :D (And for the RT!)
Funny Rei right!! Great job!
Thanks SerenityMoonGodness!
lol so true
=D
:3 :3 But Queen Beryl was just a test, you see! We wouldn’t entrust you with star powers until you had proven your worth!
Happy New Year, Moon Sticks!
lol..proven with death… xD
Happy New Year!
LOL I know they could have really used star power in the first season.
Would probably make a HUGE difference! Considering they use their star powers all the way till SuperS season.
Very good job.
Thank you Grisznak :D
Poor poor Ami. x_x
^^: yea..
Ooooh, poor Amy.. this is really unfair^^ LOL
I LOVE how you drew the girls in the fourth pannel LOL so funny 8D
Amm, this is weird! Why did you make Luna “eyeless”? O_O;
And then, did Amy leaves to Germany? I can hardly remember this season!!
Why did you make Luna “eyeless� O_O;
um..it’s an odd habit XD
And then, did Amy leaves to Germany? I can hardly remember this season!!
Yup, In episode 62, Ami was offered to study in Germany and she was contemplating on going- but in the end when she saw her new henshin tool, she remembered she can’t just leave the rest of the Sailor Team, and stays :)
LOL. Why did they suddenly have new sticks? Did the cats make them after the first season? XD
-nods-.
XD Probably. *cough*
I feel dumb for not knowing that Ami goes away at some point. o.o
Cute comic though :3 <3
Thanks :D Not sure why a few of you don’t remember it… No one cares about Ami-chan? XD
She was planning to go away in that episode to study, but in the end decided to stay with the others :)
hahaha its for the TV ratings! gota have something new every season =P
lol, good point 8D
Hahaha that is so true… if Luna and Artemis upgraded them in episode 45 (except for Usagi since her mum gave Usagi her power) they would have killed the D.Ds without Dying!
this also reminds me of Lucky Star’s form of comedy
haha really? I wouldn’t know since I haven’t watched Lucky Star :) Glad you enjoyed it!
Yay! You decided to come back! Me happy!
Anyways…
To me I think that Raye is both right and wrong to me.
Right because Luna SHOULD’VE gave them the new henshin wands (pens, sticks, whatever) because it would’ve been easier to destroy Queen Beryl. And who knows? Maybe all of the Shenshi and Tuxedo Kamen could’ve survived it.
Wrong because to me if they had gotten their new powers, they wouldn’t be able to experince the hardships and trials of battling. And the Shenshi probably wouldn’t have been able to control their new powers.
(But look on the weird side! Luna has no eyes!)
lol, thanks! It’s good to be back :D

The Sailor Senshi….don’t really need to “train’ though. I mean, Chibiusa does some so-called “training” but there isn’t much to it since they always just use the same attack XD Plus, what if they really did die and never came back to life? XD Luna didn’t seem so positive back in the Beryl days!
The Sailor V game was their way of training in the manga. Dunno how that helped though…
lol, sounds comical..
Rei: “And there’s no way you know that we could get another upgrade, right? No mystic pegasus we can get power from? You’re sure?”
ahahaha. WIN!
Neat comic! you made a good point about Luna and Artemis’ sudden/late power-ups XD
P.s I like how Luna doesn’t have any eyes in the first screen XD
Thankies!
I actually didn’t know how to draw Luna with normal eyes without using a circle or dot (and still look like Luna and cute). LOL. Artemis gets to cheat though XD
Great job on the new comic Jen! I always wondered why they ddin’t give them super epic Star powers during the Black Moon Clan saga, haha.
ummm..they did. XD This happens during the Black Moon Clan saga :}
Yay! New Comic!
Haha, I think Artemis and Luna need to work on their timing though.. xD
But hey, if the Senshi aren´t using them, I would be happy to take them of your hands.. eh.. paws *tralala*
Anyways, I loved it :)
Ps. Happy (belated) New Year!
yay for anticipating :D!
Happy New Year to you too :3
LOLZ too funny!
Arigatou eternalruth :D
oooo, OUCH
Senshi: ‘Kitty’s! Explain yourselves!”
Kittys: O_____O
YAY!!! Artemis!!!
haha, super funny comic as usual, love it! ray and amy in the last panel are so funny!
Yay!! Luna too!!
yay for Artemis- he gets eyes :D
Thanks for your lovely comments ^_^!
I know what I should order for the next Christmas!
Artemis and Luna, I want one of these Fisher Price watches too! XD
I have a question, where were these watches made? :D
I hope Artemis and Luna give to the girls magical Rolex watches at least because the girls are SUPER sailors!
When I remind me the part where the girls died, indeed the girls deserve expensive presents! XD
PS: Luna has no eyes! 8D
Good job Jen!
Thanks Lucky :D!
haha communicator watches sound kinda futuristic-yet not really with mobile phones around XD But yeh, it’s free and there’s always reception! (Random note- we don’t normally see the girls even wearing them ^^;)
“I have a question, where were these watches made? :D”
I often wondered that too. :P In the manga Ami won her first communicator watch out of a arcade game and Usagi began beating the game (like physically hitting it) until it gave her one too and then Luna altered them and turned them into communicators. (I want a cat who can do that!!)
But I like the SMA series way better where Luna just poops everything out! XD
Magic. ;)
lol, that explains everything for the moonie-world 8D
