Narrator: Some time during Sailor Stars..
Sailor Saturn (thinking): Aww…I’m so excited!! I’m now part of the glamourous and super cool Outer Senshi! Yayyy!
Sailor Saturn (thinking): I’ll finally get a transformation sequence and maybe even a new attack! It’s gonna be great!
[[Sailor Saturn has a huge smile on her face]]
[[Sailor Neptune is standing with Sailor Uranus]]
Sailor Uranus: Hotaru, be a good girl and help Pluto around the house, ok?
Sailor Saturn: Aww!! But I want to fight!
Sailor Uranus: You can come in during the final battle
*muttering under her breath* and let us kill you :D
Sailor Saturn: Yay! You’re the best!!!
Setsuna (wearing an apron): Bullies…
Narrator: Sailor Saturn always got the short of the end of the stick

She should have taken Galaxia’s implication as a bluff and tried her destruction power anyway. Uranus and Neptune only needed one target to prove their loyalty.
She does and it makes me sad
They all transform in dream and stars.
Hopefully she actually gets a transformation eventually and not just that “awakening” sequence :P
that is her job, when awakened destroy and everything then sleep again. She is the infamous senshi. I think the manga showed it , so i think crystal will show it too, i havent watch the latest episodes of crystal so i dunno.
Yeah, I always felt she got cheated when it came to screen-time.
My poor pupil… at least she got screentime! ERGH! I HATE BEING IN THE SUN! I SHOULD OF STOPPED MY COUSIN GALAXIA!!! :P I feel you Saturn, I feel you…
after readin this ive called them the galorus and super cool outer senshi my mom get relly anoyed but i don’t care
You made me laugh.
I love your stuff!
I just don’t get why Saturn wasn’t featured enough in Stars. I love Saturn to death. She has that mystic-loner quality that I can sort of relate to.
Thanks for the comment Capt. Josh ^___^! I think we can all agree we can do with more Saturn love <33
I hate how she never appeared during the middle of Stars. IT would’ve been cool to see her blast some Phages and get feisty
Yeah..it is quite a huge let down, especially how excited we all got seeing her return at the start of the arc!
In the manga Michiru was in charge of food and health stuff, Sensuna was in charge of education, and Haruka.. was in charge of diapers and being Hotaru’s playmate….
That’s so sweet X3
I like how michiru is just standing there the whole time this is one of my favs
ahaha..you noticed huh? XDDD
Poor Saturn I mean she don’t know ways coming for her
Uh wiered…….
The poor child… :(
“and let us kill you :D”
way to give the girl a hope spot, Haruka.
she looks like a nice mama figure
Pluto does, lol forgot to add Pluto
Hotaru is safe in Pluto’s hands :D
LOL at Setsuna in an apron. TOTALLY DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!!!
=D =D!!
Poor Hotaru… D^*=
^^;
Poor Saturn, I always felt bad 4 her, she needed a bigger part on the last season…
She’s too awesome to be ignored D:
Yes indeed! I was really disappointed that after the first six episodes of Sailor Stars, Hotaru barely shows up at all except at the end. I also loved Haruka’s line in the last panel!
poor and lol hotaru.she always get a short end of the stick,right?
Ha:D
You can come in the final battle and let us kill you :DD
WIN!!!!
do you now where i can find this in spanish?
If they let Saturn fight then they may have won faster… I still cant believe they where able to kill her and pluto. They do not have pure hearts if you ask me… I wouldnt turn against my friends then kill them.
But I still love your work jen!
…They are SO COOL.
Saturn’s character was even more abandoned than Pluto’s. Toei destroyed Pluto and Saturn in the anime!
But we love them just as much anyway XD
Poor Saturn, she was always the cool one but doesn’t get a lot of screen time. D: SHE DESERVES IT DAMMIT! but that’s a bit too late since the show aired like more than a decade ago….
But the less screentime, the cooler they usually are =D!
Here, here!
cant argue there
So funny….espeically the 4th box
Thanks Celestial!
although at the end it was perfect when saturn and pluto appeared *~*
8DD
Poor Pluto… What is she, the housemaid???
hahaha yes it looks like it ;)
love it i love haruka cooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
hehe thanks!
Ahhh! Poor thing! Ruka-chan don’t be so mean! XD LMAO
hahaha, feeling torn yet? XD
Saturn looked so happy.
Poor Saturn (and Pluto XD)
Poor Hotaru, she looks so eagered and happy.
Pluto and Saturn need more love!
Hahaha Haruka so blunt
lol poor hotaru T-T the best she can ever hope for is always dying!
It’s not fair that the starlights got 2 or 3 different versions of their attacks and henshins and saturn got none!
And poor pluto sympathizes, she never got a new attack either.
^.^ aw.
Lol uranus is so cold.(but i have no room to talk lol)
So blunt and honest 8D It’s what we love about Haru ^.^
yep thats the truth
once agen another funny comic strip!! fanks chibi jennifer!
Thanks for enjoying :D
Well well.. back again :D Sorry for being late.. holidays in italy! It was great. But now i’m happy to be back.. (damn.. i realy need to learn better english.. i takes me ~5 minutes and a lot of google work to “create” only one sentence xD)
Pooor poor hotaru-chan! Alway on the last place.. although she’s sooo powerfull! O_o thats just not fair. I realy like her charakter.. she’s one of my favorite soldiers :) Her eyes… *Q* <3
Anyway! Haru-chan is realy mean xD but.. i realy belief that she would say that.. Sometimes Haru-chan is .. yeah.. just mean xD don't know how to describe it better :p
I like the comic! More Hotaru!! :D
Great Artwork.. like always ;)
<3<3<3
Welcome back Selichan! Hope you had a fab holiday ^_^ I’d love to go to Italy one day!
I think you’re doing a fine job, your English is fine =) And yes, Hotaru does have pretty eyes, they’re quite distinctive compared to the other girls (I think the other outer senshi eyes look very similar to each other)
Poor Hotaru chan… :(.
^.^;
Poor child. Possessed by an alien overlord for an entire season only to be turned into a baby at the end and then finally when gets her chance at the limelight, it’s all scrapped in the favor of Haru and Michi’s “coolness”. *sigh* I’d argue for Setsuna too, but the woman did get a sufficient spot before the rest of the subteam a season earlier.
lol, I can imagine Pluto still giving you that annoyed/sweatdrop look XD
I guess Setsu-chan would be kind of pissed at that. But seriously, for the short amounts of time that the Outers DO show up, it’s always Haruka and Michiru! Setsuna and Hotaru deserve some love too…
Yeah, this so true. Poor Hutaro!
This comic is awesome ;)
Missed moonstics ^__^
Long time no seeeee :D
Welcome back, hehe ^^
LOOOOOL!
This is your definitely THE BEST (to date) episode! (which shows how ‘Stars’ season is… painful?) XD
haha thanks for dropping a comment here :D!
poor hotaru!!!!! she is always taken advantage of =(
awww ^.^
Yea, Pluto stole her from her beloved papa too..
OMG!!! I love this comic, it just way too cute!! She’s so adorable!!
I love how Saturn speaks/thinks exactly how feel haha. Poor Hotaru though “and let us kill you” XD, good she didn’t hear that part! lol
YAY for another Sailor Saturn one!!
Keep it up!
:D yay~ Glad you like it!
I wonder what Hotaru’s reaction would be if she did hear it?
..and Pluto for that matter XD
I notice that haruka just kind of adds in that “We’re gonna kill you.” part. I always wondered if saturn not hearing well was one of her sicknesses! xD
oh nah, Hotaru doesn’t have any hearing problems ^^; It’s hard to catch something like that if it’s intentionally made hard to hear XD
jajajaja!!! When I began to see SM Stars (a while ago!!!) I was excited ’cause at least we could see ALL the outer senshis in action and what happened… saturn just appeared at the end to be killed, what the hell?!!!
YES. That is exactly the case… v_v I was disappointed that they weren’t in the opening, closing or intermission clips either :O
yes, me too : <
I was sooo mad about that! Saturn is my fave <3~
=D
Same here : <<<<
Haha, so true! :D
Poor Hotoru, she didn’t even get a decent henshin seqence….
You’d thinking signing up as a Sailor Senshi would include mandatory benefits such as a cool henshin 8D
This is why Sailor Saturn is an Ensemble Darkhorse.
She’s so awesome yet we never see enough of her.
Is that what makes her awesome though? heheee
Poor Saturn. Yeah I wish she had gotten an real transformation.
She’ll have a themesong to go with it too!
I understand why Pluto is bullied (being a small *planet* XD) but Saturn is so much bigger and has all the nice rings all around..needs more respect lol :giggle:
lol, I love your reasoning :D
Now I feel sorry for Pluto ^^;
Aww T^T She’s one of my favourites… they’re so mean though :U
XD lol
Lol. Awww. Poor Hotaru…always getting the short end of the glaive. Maybe she should threaten that she’ll drop the glaive if she doesn’t get some cool new transformation sequence and a new power! lol.
hahaha, be afraid ;)
Hotaru doesn’t have any transformation sequence. That’s what make her special :D
They even gave Sailor Chibimoon a full henshin (used once for the S movie and another in a random episode..)
WOuld’ve been a bonus to see Saturn henshin once
Well if you want to get techinal she DOES have a transformation sequence…. It’s just not in the anime. It’s in a video game.
And here’s a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZUFAeFcZsE
Doesn’t count since it wasn’t used in the anime ;)
(Plus it’s a really short cut one..)
She can crack a planet in half if she drops the Glaive. Does she really need more power?
(That said, let’s hope Hotaru keeps a firm grip on that thing…)
But Galaxia snapped it in the final battle :O!!
No more attack :x
Hotaruuuuu! ;_; And I bet she was all doe-eyed like that, too!
aww ^.^
I always preferred to theorize that Saturn and Pluto were so awesome and special they didn’t need new attacks or transformation sequences.
It was really all I could do to explain away my disappointment. :(
awwww…lol
The more awesome, the less appearances ;) Makes them special aye.
Bwahaha! Excellent comic as always! Keep up the great work!
Thanks very much Zilimidori ^_^
Saturn sure did always get the short end of the stick!
But that’s why we love her. :D
And that’s why we love Pluto, too; no new attack while Uranus and Neptune get their sword and mirror!
Maybe Naoko-hime is showing favorites? ;)
XD
I think it probably had more to do with the anime production rather than the manga (since they get plenty more screentime)
True, too true. XD
Awwww, poor Hotaru. :(
^.^;;
POOR SATURN SEREUSLY!!!(SHES MY FAVIROUT SENCHI)
too bad its true:(
anyway buy buy blues still love the comic espeshly uranus in the 4th pannle “you can come in during the final battle and let us kill you”
YOU DREW SAILOR SATURN SO WELL
thumbs up for me
Thanks ^_^ Hotaru was a lot of fun to draw =D
lol This made my day! XD
yay, that’s good to know ^_^
awwww poor hotaru-chan
:smacks Haruka on the head: don’t pretend to be so cold heart-ed when you are not!
haha yesh that does seem pretty evol on Haruka’s part 8D
But it’s the truth. Lol
lol Haruka is such a teddy bear especially when it comes to Hotaru, but she is also a block head blonde that plays strong, I still LOVE her <3
I loved her so much too. XD I remember being all giddy for Stars and only to find out all she did was die over and over again. lol
I remember being really really excited about seeing her attacks…
At least she did something to Nehellenia ^^; That was cool..
Lol OMG this is soooo funny xD
Thank you! ^_^
Sad but true. I was waiting for it too.
The Sailor Starlights on the other hand got TWO versions of their transformations and attacks. lulz.
lol..yesh… wonder why :p
haha This is SO true. Poor girl.
XD
D_: It’s so true!!!
^____^
OMFG I died of laughter at “and let us kill you”. XD It’s so harsh… poor Saturn should have gotten more screentime, she was badass.
lol, harsh but true XD XD
HILARIOUS as always. =) I love Saturn’s facial expressions here, hehe. And how dreamy you portrayed the Outers in the first panel. ^_^;
haha yay ^_^!
Poor Hotaru-chan… And all of the senshi actually. I mean, the anime was such a ripoff for all of them! The Outer’s only good season was S, and they didn’t even appear at all in SuperS… I love you, Outers! ;-;
haha yeah..we don’t get to see their henshin as much either even in the episodes they do appear in.
Hotaru is adorable. Especially love that first panel. XD Us SM fans were totally ALL like that at some age or another….
hehehe yesh, the whole idea was based on fans XD
Aww poor Saturn….I watched her transformation on youtube and it was soo cool! :(
Too bad it didn’t show in the anime. :\
You mean the one from the game? That looks cool, though it was also shortened and didn’t have the full thing..
Haha I feel so sorry for hotaru,but at least she had a big role in sailor moon S,even if it wasn’t as sailor saturn :).
hehehe yeah ^_^
Kinda wish she grew back to her ‘S’ age though ^^;
Yay! One for the outers! I love the comic. Poor Hotaru-chan, she didn’t even get a transformation in the anime or an attack that wasn’t all defense or complete utter obliveration. Anyway the outer senshi need more love, especially Saturn and Pluto, so ripped off in the anime. At least Saturn needs more in Stars, her role in Super was fine I guess. One more note I love how you did Hotaru as more hyper and excited when she is usually more mellow and reserved.
hehehe, since being reborn, I always saw her as more cheery and happy person so I decided to make her more ‘alive’ (even though her childhood went by pretty quick @.@)
I think both Pluto and Saturn got ripped off in the last season, so I blame the fact Uranus and Neptune decided to steal all of the very little time outers are on screen LOL. So what else could they be doing? (Use Pluto/Saturn as house cleaning slaves) XD
I also think Hotaru seemed more cheery for after her rebirth, and I personally like that in her character.
Yeah, I have to agree with U&N getting most of the screen time for the outers in super. They are more, what is it… radical when a senshi. :P I always thought that Pluto still had to watch the Time gate and Saturn only ever joins a fight when she absolutely have to, as destruction is a last resort. Also I think the animaters wanted to show how dysfunctional Haruka and Seiya were, as it wasn’t that bad in the manga. Seiya/Usagi also not as obvious either.
Anyway, great comic. I’m glad you did one on the outers again. ^.^ They ALL need some loving. Looking foward to next week.
Thanks ^_^ Glad you enjoyed it :D
Awww! Poor Saturn… I feel for you! I mean who doesn’t? I always had room in my heart for little Hotaru-chan! Usagi-chan still my #1 favorite though!
(I might change my name to ‘the lttle artist’ ’cause i’ve been learnin to be an anime artist!)
That’s cool! I’ll recognise your gravatar (unless you change that too) ^_^
“And let us kill u”
Heh… funny….
^.^
Aww poor Hotaru! But so true, I had such high hopes that she’d be super cool in Stars… They need to do a season of JUST the Outer Senshi and just see how wicked cool that’d be!
At least Hotaru got an attack in stars… Silent Wall :D that’s something!
Dunno if that considers an attack XD XD But hey it did look awesome!
A season of just the Outer Senshi would be SO AWESOME! In fact, I’d be happy if they made more Sailor Moon in general. I recently finished Stars and I thought “Curses! I’ve run out of Sailor Moon to watch!” I really need to go read the manga now XD The trick is I need to find all the volumes of the manga since it’s freaking OUT OF PRINT [insert angry rant at publishers here] It would be cheaper to buy all of the manga in Japanese! But I’m not yet fluent in Japanese, so I’d have to wait a few years to read it :( Oh well. More motivation to learn kanji I guess XD
Maybe you can try looking for some scanlations online *looks around nervously before she ducks behind the sofa*
go on mangafox.com thats where i read them (u can also read code name sailor v in english on there=)
lol poor Saturn it’s true she doesn’t get enough air time!
Yea :( SHe had plenty as Hotaru in S, but even then, as her senshi form there wasn’t much at all.
Ah, I just LOVE the Outers! And I love your comics as well. It was as usual great! Thank you!
You’re welcome and thanks :D
Poor Hotaru! Must be hard to be the most powerful senshi….
haha yea… gotta tone down her powers 8D Always wondered the possibilities…
Hahaha love this! I thought this at one point, poor Hotaru, love her lots though!
Thanks =D
