#72 Why Everyone Attacks Tokyo
Jadeite: Queen Beryl, I have an awesome idea.
Queen Beryl: Keep it short, Jadeite. I'm busy with my ball.
Jadeite: The Sailor Senshi all live in Japan. If we just attack a different country, like Australia, there's no way they can stop us.
Jadeite: All I need is $3000 to buy a plane ticket!
Queen Beryl: Too expensive.

What’s easier to deal with?
The Sailor Senshi or Australian Wildlife?
Probably the Sailor Senshi.. xDDDDD
I’ve always wondered about this
It really depends where you go in Australia XD We Sydney-siders don’t see any unless we went to the zoo or wildlife park
Alas, he could have been on the plane instead of under it.
“I’m busy with my ball”
The busy with my ball was the best part xD
Bwahaha!
Australia…always safe there lol
Hey, that IS a pretty good Idea, just watch out for the kangaroos, they pack quite a punch, or should I say: quite a kick. LMFAO!!!
Nice, really well though lol
Thanks MarvieT ^^
It makes more sense why the villains always attack Tokyo in the second arc.The Black Moon Clan attack Tokyo because that’s the base for the future city.But with everyone else,it seems kinda random
It has to do with the manga. In the manga, the Dark Kingdom searched the rest of the world for the Legendary Silver Crystal before coming to Japan.
Haha reminds me of SMA’s Jadeite XD
Can’t they just telport out of Tokyo to avoid them?
that really is odd considering Dark kingdom is not even located in Japan. If Final episodes of first season is to go by it is located somewhere in the Arctic meaning it is probably in Canada/Russia/Greenland ( Denmark)/ Scandinavia countries. So tell me… what is with Dark kingdom and their fascination to attack Japan again?
Because Beryl was after other things then just energy. The crystal, her crush, and of course, killing the Princess and her Senshi. All of which required her to send her forces to Tokyo. So they had good reasons to attack Tokyo, they just should have been attacking other places at the same time.
The Dark Kingdom is at D Point, on the North Pole; so it isn’t any of those places.
And, at the the manga, they had people looking for the silver crystal all around the world, the anime mentions it too with Minako/Venus fighting at London.
Just sayin, if they assaulted a Twilight opening at the theatres, they would have never needed to gather energy again.
Lol that’s Queen Beryl for ya!
Oh and I just noticed that in the anime and manga and just in general Jedite kind of looks like Haruka! Like legit. Who agrees with me? Probably no one :p
haha I think the guy Luna falls in love with in the S Movie looks more like Haruka XDDD
lol unforuntaely they cant attack the states either cuz we got superheroes and nukes
The same problem crops up in Super Sentai, as well. I’m sure all of the different main villains have a club meeting and decide where funds go, and they NEVER go into travel EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THEM CAN TRAVEL THROUGH SPACE. (This is probably how Beryl got the Putty Patrol on loan in the live-action Sailor Moon XD)
Whyyy not? I want Jadeite to come visit me in Aus!!! If he did, I’d hug him to deatttttthhhhhhhh *w*
Nothung happens here huh. XDD
Yep. NOOOOTHINGGGGG. Except maybe… Um… Give me a minute…
SEVEN HOURS LATER
Nope. I can’t think of anything. Nothing happens here.
I suppose thats a blessing in disguise XD
haha, i’m sure this has gone through everyone’s mind at least once. and loving the colored comics, they look great!
Thanks so much for your kind comments <3
Whew! No dark Kingdom here!
haha yaaaay! XD
And that’s why I can’t visit Australia too :<
aww.. don’t worry, it’s not usually that expensive~ you’ll get to one day ^^
Yeah ALWAYS thought this. If you in another country they can’t stop you. Cept for the teleport but it would still be too late. Them conveniently always being there was the only annoying thing about the series.
Wait why would Jadeite need a plane ticket if their base is all the way in the Antarctic? Couldn’t he just teleport there or is it like Pokémon logic where you need to be in a new place first before flying (in this case teleporting) there?
haha, that’s Jadeite’s logic for you .. ;)
Another thing that’s occurred to me: even if the bad guys relocated somewhere Senshi-free, wouldn’t they just Sailor Teleport there and kick their asses all the same? Sure, Jadeite didn’t live long enough even to see Sailor Jupiter awaken. But still, if someone else were to take up on the idea, even Zoisite or Kunzite, Sailor Teleport would still beat that. That’s how they made it to the Dark Kingdom’s home base up at the North Pole, after all.
It would still make things a lot more difficult though. There’s no way the senshi would have been able to stop them so quickly each time since it would take time for them to even realise the enemies were attacking (especially if they were discreet about it) If they were all in Japan, and the bad guy is over in China or something, how would they know? And when they are figured out, they could target a different area.
I still feel like, despite Sailor Teleport, their plans would still be a lot more effective than attacking just walking distances from the Sailor Senshi.
Poor Jedeite. It was a good plan.
Maybe he should have looked into cheaper fares.. XD
So funny ‘keep it short, Jadeite, I’m busy with my ball’ – that really got me rofl
^___^
is so funny :D
Thank you ^^ Glad you liked it :D :D
I always thought that Jadeite was first the general in charge of using Japan as an energy source. When he died, Nephrite was brought in and then Zoisite and Kunzite.
Haha I’m not surprised the Dark Kingdom’s a little tight on cash. Between Jadeite’s radio show, fitness studio, cruise ship etc; Nephrite’s car and mansion; and Kunzite’s moon princess scouting plans, Beryl’s probably up to her neck in debts :P
ahahahaha XDDDD Limited resources. It’s also my theory as to why Beryl doesn’t send out all her minions at a time to fight (since she’ll have to pay them XD)
Well, not every baddie can get to be Lex Luthor, you know. xD
By the way, don’t forget the bus. Though, thinking of it now, he could’ve just popped a portal open somewhere at random and driven to pick up unsuspecting young female passengers there, instead of always passing in front of the same Shinto Shrine whose priestess might eventually catch on to what you’re doing.
lol…huge expense right there. XD
I feel bad for Jadeite if Michiru heard about him targeting the Sydney Opera House, I don’t think she’d be happy about that.
Makes sense to me.
haaha XD
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Jadeite the Commander of the Far East Division in the manga? So it’ll make more sense for him to suggest somewhere else, like China or Russia.
I don’t think you should take this comic too seriously XD Maybe Jadeite just wants an excuse to check out the land down under ^__^
Now that I think of it, if Jadeite commands the Far East Division, Nephrite controls the North American Division, Zoisite taking charge of the European Division, and Kunzite ruling over the Middle Eastern Division, then what about the rest of the world? *Is confused*
Too much detail… XDDD
HE KNOWS…..
Sucks to have a boss who doesn’t listen to you. XD
Couldn’t Beryl just use Negaverse magic to get him there?
you know if he really wanted to go they could pick pocket the money or steal a plane or a boat.
but i’m just asking can’t they teleport? that’s it, it shows beeing evil makes one stupid to obvious things.
Really Jadeite? ^^;
really, really. XD
Hehe, you have gotten in ahead of me :D
I have been thinking about making a similar cartoon about all villains on the show who chose Tokyo for their evil plans, especially targeting family members/friends/colleagues of the Sailor Team at a place and at a time when one of them passes by :D
Nice work *hug*
haha yeah it’s really convenient. It’s like the senshi don’t even have to do much to track down the villains ^.^
Thanks for the comment ^^
omg I always wondered that XD
yaay ^^
HaHAHHAhahaha!!! Busy with my ball! XDD
wait…. is that how much it will cost you to get a flight to Tokyo from Aussie?! D:
yaaay cycynnnn :D
haha nah, it shouldn’t cost that much.. more like $1500 mark XD Jadeite probably wanted to increase his allowance so he could spent it on other goods while he’s there (on Holiday XD)
The most surprising part is, they’re using dollars even if they’re at Japan at the moment? xD
I guess they haven’t..converted their North Pole dollars..? XD
This was actually covered in the Another Story SNES game. The senshi just went to wherever the enemies were…so the REAL problem is that there are always as many (or fewer than)enemy bosses as there are Senshi. If there were just ONE more baddy than Senshi, they wouldn’t be able to stop them all even if they all worked independently IN TOKYO.
haha yes, and I loved it :D (Awesome underrated game, too XD)
Lol…..loove it!
LOLOL good point! XD … and lol @ ‘I am busy with my ball’. XD
hahah yay glad you enjoyed it =D!
poor jeddy ^^ he tried so hard but this ugly bitch never acknowledged his effort ;_; i liked him so much… and for almost every evil helper someone cried, but no one for him ;_;
yeah, i always wondered why every sailor senshi lived in japan and tokyo on top of that. and I asked myself whether there are more sailor senshis in the world :3
haha thanks for the comment! ^^
cool ^^ please upload more soon ;)
Thanks ^__^
XD The sad part is, I never questioned that once. Awesome Work <3
hahah aww, thank you ^__^ <3
Too bad they can’t teleport holding hands like the sailor scouts! XD
Actually, if Queen Beryl would buy them tickets to a different country to each one, and they start gathering energy at the same time… the sailors couldn’t fight them, I’m not sure they can travel/teleport separated!
Love your strips, keep them coming ♥
hahaa yesh! Though in the Sailor Moon ‘Another Story’ RPG I think a similar thing happens where the enemy were all over the world and the senshi had to split up and fight alone! Pretty interesting ^^
Thanks so much for your kind support <3
Perhaps she is broke and cannot lend him cash.
hahaha it’s not easy being the boss!
Yay! And wow! I didn’t know the Dark Kingdom has currency. :O
ahahaha oh I love your reaction ^____^
^___^
Hey, recession hits hard
Aaahahahah yess!
^__^
Beryl that is a great idea! I thought you were committed to being evil.
hehehe, I guess she’s a little money conscious XD
They had a chance to Operate in America, but they knew they’d just get shot if they did.
lol…….XD
You’ll notice they never think about going to the US. Because ‘Murica.
That and we’d probably recruit them. >.>
^^”””
Nah, it’s just that America would shoot the heck out of them
^^” hmmm
X’D poor Jadeite…
He only wanted to share his great plans.. http://moonsticks.org/extras/jadeites-great-plan-mini-manga-special/
XD
With the new Sailor Moon anime, Jadeite’s plan may just be put into action. Attacking around the world for energy, and only attacking Tokyo for the mcguffin crystal (and to kill the princess).
hahaha maaaybee!! Guess we’ll see XD
Jadeite’s plan now has a bit more of trouble in the fact that she may have a lot of competition in the form of whatever group of terrorists are in the way. Seriously, a bomb-car kinda kills the energy sucking mood.
This is getting too serious XD
Hahahaha XD
3000 bucks to go down under? RLY?
jadeite probably didn’t spend much time researching for the cheapest option. XDDD
Maybe if… They had done what the Simpsons did when they visited Japan, to wait for the airline to sell the tickets of those passengers that din’t showed up?
is a true story with fireworks XD XD XD AWESOME PIC ahahahha!!!
Thanks Cinderell-o! :D
and berryl keeps busy with the ball -3-
mhhmm!! :3
Hahaha. Is Australia that much more trouble to teleport to from D Point than Tokyo?
According to Beryl yesh. XDDD
lol I always wonder why it was always Tokyo.
Apart from the fact the main cast live there ;D
I have a reason for that: it’s an unspoken rule that for an anime to be good, it *has* to be in Japan/wherever the good guys operate/live in. So, it isn’t Beryl being a cheapskate, she’s following the script!
ahahahaa
lol! Thank goodness for expensive air tickets… Sydney is safe!
ahahaha yup!! Though.. nothing exciting ever happens in Sydney. XDDD
You’re sure you didn’t just want to beat Jadeite with a drop bear? :3
ahahahah. Oh you ;D
Didn’t Minako actually live abroad when she was Sailor V? Or is my memory tricking me into believing that Artemis and Minako have done quite a job protecting peace outside Japan also?
She was in London for a while…but I thought that was just fighting crime as oppose to actual evol villains XD
“Keep it short. I’m busy with my ball” hahaha
8D!
I always wondered why they didn’t just attack another country. Like Canada or Russia, for example, seeing as their technical “base” was supposed to be the North Pole…
haha yeah it doesn’t make much sense for them to be based in North pole and fly everyday over to Japan to gather energy….
Maybe it was that underground tunnel thing they ran into in the last ep of season 1. It probably tunneled into a mini wormhole under the Bering Strait or something, that led directly under Tokyo, so they figured “hey, why not use this semi-magical, but mostly scientifical, tunnel thing to attack whatever country it comes out under? We’ll sure save a load on jet fuel that way, even if we don’t get the frequent flier miles!’
And Metallia was probably all like, ‘finally, my minions are using their brains for something!’
XDDD yeah that tunnel thing is kinda weird..lol
actually i just remembered something else, jadeites in command of the farbeast division, nephlite the north american division and i forget the other 2, this would imply that they WERE attacking other areas, but repositioned theyre resources to take out the senshi, their biggest threat in finding the silver crystal which they knew was in the tokyo area.
LOL
=)
You Make me laugh, never stop ;)
Thanks so much :) Your comment means a lot to me.
In the SuperS movie the baddies actually target several European towns before attacking Japan.
but theyre in the north pole….
lol! Thank goodness for expensive air tickets… Sydney is safe! :p
Oh, I LOLed. xD
^____^
And yet Beryl can afford to send him from the Arctic to Japan. :P
I think Beryl might need some Geography lessons XD
She can also send Nephrite to North America, Zoicite to Europe, and Kunzite to the Middle East… maybe she’s just being a cheapskate with Jadeite. P-:
I think its the latter ;D
Considering it sounds like she just sets them up to fail, I think it might be both. :P
Good comic as usual. :)
Hahaha poor, poor Jadeite. If only someone had listened to him, the Dark Kingdom could have ruled the world!
haha yeah.. XD Thanks for the comment <3
Any time! I love your comics <3
woooa *w*
That’s a good question, why does everyone attack Japan ?Even galaxia herself just attacks Japan.
She didn’t even bother to take Mamo-chan’s Star Seed when he lands in the US XD
Yeah, she can travel across the galaxy in seconds and go to any part of the planet but just goes to Tokyo.
XD so great. Though, I think they keep attacking Japan because of the huge power source (aka Sailor Moon and her Senshi) generate.
Light attracts the dark. >:D
Anyways, Jadeite is so adorable. :D
Thank you!! :D :D
hahaha yeah, that explanation is the only one close to making some sense, but it always bugged me that EVERY ONE comes to Japan. Pure Heart Crystals? Japan. Dream Mirror? Japan. Star Seeds? Japan. XDDDD
X’D
Japan is just a hot spot. ;P
Budget. That’s what retires the best of plans.
I kinda wonder what most of these ‘sit around’ bad guys do while their underlings are in the field.
ahahah yesh… I also wonder if they get paid to do their job… ^^”
I hope they don’t destroy the ‘City of Angels’ (Los Angeles). That’s where I live.
hahaha, and I’m glad Beryl didn’t give Jadeite the green light. He seemed keen on Australia XD
Or ether of the 2 just want to be a star. Lol.
Even better, they can get to the north pole, and japan and back again, but uhhh
lol so funny
YESSSH. hahahaah they’re located all the way in the North Pole…. and pick Japan out of all places XD
oh geez XD is that why they never go to different countries?! they always attack tokyo where the sailor scouts LIVES,and not go to any country at all!!! I just don’t understand it,but it’s still funny rofl
Tokyo is the center of the universe. XDDDD
Every Giant monster, demonic being, alien empire all focus on Japan. It’s so bad, even in a recent Godzilla movie, 2001, they say ‘Can’t godzilla attack a different country for once? Why always Japan?”
XDDDDDDDD
I wonder if that ball of hers comes with Mario Kart.
hmm? why? xDD
I’ve always wondered about this too. Every sentai show essentially had this happening. The monsters all spoke Japanese, conveniently too. Lol
And Aliens from outer space can speak it too.
I mean really.. did the Sailor Star Lights have a Japan on their planet too..? XD
It is basically the equivalent of all those Hollywood movies in which the villains always put ‘Murica as their target of invasions, wars, etc etc ! XD and lol at Queen Beryl being busy with her ball, more like all the time xDD
And I can see she is (or you are ? XD) still trying to show her bums off whenever possible hahaha. Lovin’ the recurring gag ! :[)
Thanks for the comment V_Lix! :D
You have to wonder what Beryl actually does with the ball… At least Wiseman had a legit reason with his fortelling XDD So glad you noticed the Beryl gag too ;D I do wanna keep it consistent with MoonSticks #2, heheheee ^^
Omg I knooww… It’s so weird that she keeps fiddling with her ball most of the times we see her and we never know what she sees in that floating thang XD Yeah I’m so glad that you still keep the consistency of your comic as a continuity. Too bad it got obstructed with a box in MoonSticks #70 (Not that I’m a pervert for looking at Queen Beryl’s arse xD), although I later saw you’ve edited the pic and posted in on your FB page haha.
One more thing, why does Jadeite (or the whole Dark Kingdom, for that matter) even bother paying for plane ticket fare when they have the so-called Dark Power ? I mean, they’re the villains for a reason lol XDDD
ahahha nope! They can just teleport anywhere they want, really. They do it all the time going to Tokyo, and heading back to their headquaters in North Pole. I was just poking some fun at Jadeite ;D
And yes, I fixed the Beryl picture..at least the one posted on this site ^.^
Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Jadeite is a genius! Queen Beryl lucked out by not listening to him! Best logic of all!
hahah yaaay! Glad you enjoyed it Lisa ^___^
