MoonSticks – Sailor Moon Comics/Doujinshi
Fun, Short and Sweet Sailor Moon Comic Strips by Chibi Jennifer
In the cases of shoujo and mahou shoujo media, most often, any extraneous male characters are not present. It usually focuses on the heroine’s family (in this case, her Earth father Kenji Tsukino and her brother Shingo Tsukino), any crushes (Motoki Furuhata), classmates (Gurio Umino) and love interests (Mamoru Chiba)
A number of family members are absent, dead, or divorced for the 10 Guardians. What even bears any semblance of family outside of Usagi’s household is in Rei’s household is she lives with her grandfather and his apprentice, Yuuichirou Kumada in the anime and of course the Outer Guardian team.
If anything, King Serenity (placeholder name) likely died prior to the birth of Princess Serenity, leaving the kingdom to become a queendom.
actually I’m pretty sure it’s implied in the
*SPOILERS!!!!*
At the end of the Manga in the cauldron, that Serenity was a virgin birth
Reminds me that Naoko never actually created a “King of Silver Millennium”……..
Is that a bunny in pannel 3?
USAGI/BUNNY/MANGA REFRENCE! ;)
1: The Silver Millennium does not refer to Usagi s’ past life, but to the 1000 years in which the Moon Kingdom existed, times of wars, magic, legends, lost technology, and immortal matriarchs.
2: Queen Serenity gave birth to Princess Serenity by using her Star Seed. They look exactly the same, the same silver-white hair, the same Star Seed (Illusionary Silver Crystal). Look at Usagi and Chibiusa; their hair is very different, Usagi has strawberry-blonde, straight, and noodle-like hair while Chibiusa has light pink, wavy, poofy hair. Usagi s’ Star Seed is still the Illusionary Silver Crystal, but Chibiusa’s Star Seed is the Pink Moon Crystal.
3: Kenji did not hear Luna, he just came over from work, and is already crying when Luna says her line in the fourth panel. And even if he heard Luna s’ voice, Kenji would just think he heard voices while sweating and panting a little, then drop the suitcase, open the door, and find Usagi saying she was “practicing different voices for a (ventriloquism\animated) show”. Which she is propably gonna say once Kenji enters Usagi s’ room again after eating some noodles and taking an afternoon nap.
Actually Silver Millennium refers to a place, not a time, whenever it is used.
You can read in Sailor Moon Wikia, Silver Millennium refers to a time.
“The Silver Millennium was a peaceful time period during the prehistoric age when the Moon Kingdom existed, along with the rest of the Solar System. It provides a setting for the past lives and future selves of most of the series’ major characters, and functions as a major driving force behind both plot and characterization.
The original Silver Millennium is portrayed as an ancient Golden Age, marked by peace, prosperity, and good relations between the people of Earth and Moon. The English dub states that the Moon Kingdom existed one thousand years ago, but the original manga made it prehistoric. Despite its name, the Silver Millennium appears to have lasted much longer than a thousand years.”

It’s my belief she had no dad. In the manga it is said queen serenity felt something hot brewing inside her and she knew her daughter would be born, blessed from the galaxy cauldron. The senshi were also born of the cauldron but just to their planets, no mothers, to protect this special soul that would be princess serenity. Serenity is all about rebirth. With the death of the silver millennium and her rebirth on earth, she was reborn with the power of a senshi. Her mother even tells her be grateful you are both a princess and senshi, because she could not transform andfightlike her friends before.
Thanks for the comment Kimiski :) It’s always fun reading about the manga since I’m more familiar with the anime version (which MoonSticks is primarily based off)
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it said that Princess Serenity was a virginal birth?
how come he didn’t notice luna speaking
i wonder what would happen is her father walked at the first panel instead???
POOR KENJI!
^^;;
I never noticed that she doesnt have a dad on the silver millenium XD
Poor Kenji…
Interesting. My theroy was that if your a sailor then you can only have 1 child (thats cannon) and they would be chibi of that planet until their mother died or released their powers.
But Usagi has two children (one of which is less known): Chibiusa and Kousagi. Kousagi is the second born of Usagi and Mamoru but she only appears in “Parallel Sailor Moon” where she becomes an Unnamed Sailor Senshi.
That’s the parallel universe though, in the canon story line she only has one child.
The one child theory was just that, a theory. Setsuna didn’t want Chibiusa to travel back in time because if she changed anything, there would be a parallel universe created. She did anyway, so “our” universe was created, and therefore, “our” universe is the parallel one. Setsuna said herself that the one child theory was based on Neo Queen Serenity only having one. She said nothing about the future “our” Usagi would make for herself, and she had two daughters. Chibiusa and Kousagi. Long story short, Parallel Sailor Moon features the Usagi we all know and love. Besides, it said Chibiusa was 15, not 900+ like the other universe.
Actually Naoko made a statement that Parallel Sailor Moon was a contribution for the Year of the Rabbit as well as a way for her to explore the possibility of Usagi changing her mind and taking the easy way out when Guardian Cosmos offered her to toss her troublesome life aside and start anew with the path of a new star, meaning she wouldn’t be a senshi as well as she would be able to bear multiple children if she so wished.
(Chibichibi was speculated to be Chibiusa’s sister, but that was discounted too with Sailor Vesta saying that Lunarians can only have one child, Sailor Pallas and Sailor Juno confirm it. )
Wait hang on a minute. If usagi was born from queen serenity wouldnt make her chibi moon? Because arent true sailor scouts born from the galaxy caldron (damn spelling)? Meaning her dad was a sailor too or else she was adopted? I have just realized how little effort she put into this part…
In the Silver Millennium, there was no Sailor Moon. So Queen Serenity wouldn’t have been Sailor Moon and Princess Serenity wouldn’t be Chibi Moon for the same reason. The Moon family has the power of the ginzuishou (I probably spelled that wrong) but it doesn’t manifest into a senshi form until Luna awakens Usagi in the present era. Even if there was a Sailor Moon in the Silver Millennium, in the present-Tokyo area there was no Sailor Moon before Usagi in that era so it wouldn’t make sense to be Chibi Moon when nobody else was holding the position of Sailor Moon. Chibiusa is Chibi Moon in the past because she is training and her mother currently claims the Sailor Moon title at that time. That is how I always understood it. Sorry if that doesn’t make any sense.
And yeah you’re right about the Cauldron. In the view of the manga, all the stars and souls in the galaxy come from the Galaxy Cauldron. :)
oh yeah! Why doesn’t anyone draw THE DAD! :) why are men always being left out of the picture? :)
poor dad!!!thats so mean usagi!
I’m convinced back on the Moon Usagi was just hatched.
Hahaha XD
This one is too funny!!!
It’s my most favourite!!:D
Thanks for your comment ^_^
King Endynion?
In Silver Millenium…
King Endymion is her husband
princess serenity have a dad??i don’t know!
Who in the Silver Millenium is Princess Serenity’s dad! I guess this still counts as some kind of mystery… -.-
lol He’s so emotional i wonder what they’d do if they found out about her other parents
hehehee
i have searched everywhere for princess serenity’s dad!! but nothing cumz up!
aww poor kenji papa!
Non-existent ;)
…
Is it king Endynion?
but endymion is the prince from earth not the king of the moon.
and i dont remember where but i think i heard somewhere that the royalty passes on thru the female line. so maybe they didnt need a father. maybe usagi was born by the power of the imperial silver crystal.
or maybe usagi is an illegitimate child from a “mistake” queen serenity made! lol :P
you know what I’ve always wondered? how did serena’s parent’s give her the name in the silver millennium AND in the present? and this comic is one of my favourites!
haha thanks :D
‘In the English dub they call her “Serena” and “Princess Serena” which makes it sound kinda..lame XD. In the original though, her earth name is Usagi (Bunny) so it’s different to Serenity :)
lol I know.
“SERENA, as sailor MOON you have a duty to find the MOON princess SERENA.” the dub just makes it that more obvious.
it really makes you wonder about their brains… just like the sailor venus appears strip…
aw. he should look something like endymion, maybe with less adornments on his violet cape :))
Also on Shingo… was I the only one who wanted for him to become a hero and help the rest? Something of Sun powers was my idea.
looooooooooooooool
oh wow that is so funny yet u have to wonder how did neo queen sernity meet the king and WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE!? sailor saturn out
HEHEHE That’s right..
Poor Usagi’s dad!!
This is really great hehehe XD
Thanks Sailor Sun :D :D!!
Poor Kenji. Get’s forgotten when he’s barely there at all… And poor Mr. Serenity (lawl, he’d probably have to take his wife’s name, considering the kingdom *was* a matriarchy) never getting mentioned at all. I think it was the whole “Queen Serenity’s shine had another star within it” thing. Endy’s mommy and daddy never even show up. If Serenity was born in a virgin birth then how’d Endy get there? What, was he created from genetic material in ancient Terran labs or something and then heiled as their prince?
lol, your comment about Mr Serenity is so funneh XD XD
Yeah…poor guy gets completely forgotten… I even found one site that jokes that Artemis was actually Serenity’s dad during the Silver Millenium because apparently he was the only man present besides Endymion… >.<
lol! Never heard of that one XD Funny!
awww i feel soo sorry for usagi’s dad! and he’s so cute, why did he diseappeared from the series? Even in PGSM he’ no where to be seen (except in Usagi’s wedding day crying his eyes out n_n) And I think the question of who is her Silver Millenium father is an ever present for every fan.. does anyone knows if there is an official answer? that would be really interesting.
Chibi Jen I LOVE your comic strips. never miss one. Continue the incredible work!! and thank you!
Thank you so much for your comment Karen >.<~ Really appreciate the motivation! And yes, I'm feeling pretty sorry for him now..lol, I keep picking on these poor characters in MoonSticks ^-^; He was quite enjoyable to watch during the first 2 seasons, it would have been nice to give him a few more appearances in the later seasons. It would also be interesting seeing his interaction with Mamo-chan, since Usgai and him officially date and we know her dad is against them XD
Wow, I never tought of that. Maybe Usagi came from a virgin birth.
haha, many have been suggesting that actually… wonder if it’s true @.@
Well, in the Sailor Moon S series, they had a some Christian references with the holy grail and everything.
Maybe since Queen and Princess Serenity are from the Moon Kingdom, they are part of a special race of Moon people. Maybe reproduction works differently there? That would mean Usagi had to conceive Chibiusa WITH Mamoru because she was reborn as a human.
I love this. I always wondered what the deal was with her and her father xD
yay, thanks Leo! Glad you like this one!
Ahahaha yes! New Moonsticks!!! XD
Poor Kenji-papa. I dunno why, but I find the background characters/villians the most appealing in anime, so I must do what I must do…
*Squeezes Kenji-papa*
lol :D I’m sure he’d like that XD
fridays are like christmas to me ever since i found sailor moon sticks heh!and good job on this one!!!
aw, that’s very sweet! Thanks jasmyne :)
I once wrote this drama-filled fan-fiction based on this very subject years ago. XD Well, it was more of an Queen Nehellenia fan-fiction centering around the Manga storyline where she tried to kill the princess as an baby. So I came up with the motive of why she would do this… and The Princess’s father came into it.
In my fan-fiction I made Queen Nehellenia the younger sister of Queen Serenity. And she was pretty much powerless and under-appreciated– because of that one law that said that one Sailor Soldier could only be born to each royal family who ruled each planet… in order to avoid a over-population of Sailor Soldiers, and also to avoid one planet gaining the extra edge for having extra Sailor Soldiers over the other planets.
So in a culture where being an Sailor Soldier meant practically getting everything they wanted in the royal courts.. Queen Serenity naturally got everything because she had an Sailor Crystal, which she of course eventually passed on to her daughter.
This made Queen Nehellenia feel unloved, especially when the least wanted piece of property on the dark side of the moon was dumped off on her.
It was made worse for her when the man she had been dating turned out to be only using her so that he could get closer to Queen Serenity… since how he was an low-ranking Earth nobleman, and couldn’t get into the royal parties to see her otherwise.
So she started to really hate her sister Serenity… even more with a passion when she learned that this man had succeeded in attracting Serenity’s attention and actually had married her.
She couldn’t stand it that Serenity took away the man she loved without even trying, and were actually going to have his child. So she went crazy and was in the process of killing her child when she was caught and stopped by Queen Serenity. Queen Serenity questioned why her own sister would want to kill her child… and that’s when Queen Serenity learned of this Earth Nobleman’s deicit, and how he had used Queen Nehellenia to get at Queen Serenity.
Queen Serenity was of course horrified that she didn’t learn of this before it was too late… but swore that she would never raise her daughter around such scum who would use others like that. She divorced the guy, and had him banished.
The Queen then made sure that far as her daughter was concerned, she to be told that she was born from an immaculate conception and certainly NOT from any guy.. especially not that guy. lol And this was also the reason why it was “forbidden” for The Pricess of the moon and the Prince of the Earth to date… not because the dude wasn’t related to Prince Endyimon at all, but due to the fact that the Queen of the moon had a deep mistrust of Earth noblemen after “the incident”. She was scared that her daughter might suffer the same heartbreak she did.
Anyway, that was the fan-fiction in a nutshell. ^^;; I should probably find a place to start hosting that story again.
wow…lol, that was quite intriguing :D That does relate to this question, eheheheheh!
WOW! awesome ideas!!!!!!!!
Heh… Kenji-papa has the worst timeing..
8D Very.
8D
Lol, poor Kenji! I love him, too, and he always gets abused. XD But that’s probably why I love him so.
But yeah, Princess Serenity doesn’t have a “birth Father” in the comic. Guardian Cosmos says that Queen Serenity just plucked her out of the Cauldron and took her with her to the Moon, more or less. (If you’ve ever heard of Princess Serenity being referred to as a “carbon copy” of the Queen, it’s because she basically is.)
Queen Serenity, Star Seed Bandit at Large.
oh. o__o
Well, that’s not exactly what the manga says. That’s just one interpretation. It was left very ambiguous on a lot of points, including what Guardian Cosmos was referring to regarding Queen Serenity.
Until Naoko makes statement about it, there is not real definite answer. Princess Serenity could very well have a father.
…maybe her father was Helios! Hence the blueish-white hair in her original form. ^^;
Or she might be a clone.
That would mean Chibi-Usa was dating her grandfather!
@___@ Twisted. lol
Gosh, I almost spilled my tea. That was one of the best parts. Congrats!
8D! Thank you!
Omona! I really feel bad for her father Kenji ;__;
Imagine Princess Serenity’s parents are Luna and Artemis
D:
But the worst would be Princess Serenity’s father is Endymion
D:
Good work Jen!
I’d love it if her parents turned out to be Luna and Artemis. ^^ It would be weird but cute.
LOL! Another person thinking it’s possible her father is Endymion…. seriously where do these ideas come from?? 8D
You guys are funny, lol
The ideas for Endymion being Serenity’s father come from the original myth about Selene and Endymion. According to the anchient Greeks, Selene was the godess of the moon. One night she looked down on Earth and fell in love with a shepard named Endymion. But since she was the moon, she could only visit him when he was asleep. So she asked the higher up gods to grant Endymion eternal sleep so she could always visit him. They did, but she forgot to ask for eternal youth, so Endymion ended up getting turned into a grasshopper.
Poor Kenji… though, why was Usagi asking this stuff? It’s her fault! D: xD
Yes, she needs to take responsibility XD
XD Poor Kenji-papa. Nobody likes you, especially Toei. Hell, Toei prefers the Outers! Which is like, totally shocking. o.o
ahahaha
I always figured that the father of princess Serenity was actually prince Endymion. It was an illegal thing? It would explain why she couldn’t see him though…
LOL!! How bizarre XD XD
I like this one! This one’s pretty funny!
Hmm. Maybe Rei & Serenity’s dads were just out of town alot? I know that in the graphic novels (SuperS) Ami says something about how her parents got a divorce when she was little and he sends her pictures and stuff.
hehehe, he must have been out of town when Beryl attacked too ;) Lucky guy XD
lol. Yeah maybe. And maybe Kenji-papa is really the reincarnation of Princess Serenity’s father? lol.
I HAVE PONDERED THIS…..for many moons…..seriously though….It’s been my numbah 1 question
XD XD Now you know you are not alone!
…
poor Usagi’s Dad….
Nice job on the comic as always ^_^
Another reason to look forward to Fridays!
Thanks for checking back :D! Glad you enjoyed this
:hugs: poor Kenji
funny :D
Thanks! ^_^
LOL LOL poor Kenji. Immaculate conception, anyone?
She’s not the Messiah, just a very naughty girl!
Haha, this is cute! Poor Kenji!
hehe thanks :)
Awww Kenji needs a hug
xD He’ll probably run to Ikuko-Mama and have a bit of a cry there ^^;
Poor Kenji, the producers don’t like you OR Serenity’s real father. Such a shame. It reminds me of a comic I read called Four King Hell. There’s this one part where Usagi said “You can hypnotize my parents. There used to it.” That part craked me up. Kenji may be a minor character but can be overprotective when comes to Usagi and Mamo-chan.
(Still love your comics!)
Doesn’t like Rei or Ami’s father either. XD There’s always something fishy about the dads in the show..
(I follow Four King Hell as well, very amusing ^_^ The part about the brainwashing reminded me of: http://www.moonsticks.windy-goddess.net/25-brainwashed-ms-tsukino-ikuko/)
I ALWAYS wondered about that…I guess the world will never know who her dad was in the silver millenium.
I had a bit of a dilemma thinking how Luna would reply to that question since I’m not sure she knows, and no one knows what the truth is ^^; Her explanation came out pretty vague. XD
That is so awesome. I always wondered where the heck Serenity’s Dad was. virgin birth…?
Thank you ^^!
The virgin birth..is a possibility…..
Didn’t ya’ll know? Princess Serenity was an immaculate conception.
I still think Princess Serenity doesn’t actually have a father. Especially after reading the Stars arc of the manga when Guardian Cosmos mentions a similar light to Usagi’s (Queen Serenity) coming from the cauldron carrying a star inside her. Kind of like the virgin marry and even in Star Wars too, Anakin Skywalker had no father. He was just meant to be so he was born. That’s how I think of Princess Serenity.
lol, I’m slightly confused now.. DOes that mean Mamoru doesn’t have to exist either for Chibiusa to be born? XD
imm..acu.late conception..? *checks up definition* @_@
Well, she is a Messiah…
hahahaha, Poor papa Kenji… Especially since it’s true ^^; By boyfriend only saw the last 2 series and he didn’t believe that Usagi had a dad…
haha, really? That’s pretty funny because you’d think that too since he never appears afterwards.
well you don’t see endymion’s parents at all
But if you see ONE of them…. ;) it makes you wonder.
very nice, I can definatley see you doing a comic about how Naru went from being Usgai’s BFF to just another person for Sailor Moon to save.
haha, that was kinda shown in PGSM, when Naru was getting jealous Usagi was hanging around more with Ami-chan, and less with her (or was it the other way around?)
That was it.
You know, I always wondered that too XD
^__^
LOL, how cuuuute!! Its funny how you brought that up in your comic..Usagi’s father (hardly) and Princess Serenity’s father (never) shows up. I guess the male characters are more of a gem in Sailormoon lol
yaaaay thanks KTVB =D Glad you like it!
Not sure if I’d call them gems though (seeing as when they are here they don’t do much either. It’s all about GIRL POWER XD XD)
Well…apparently the director Ikuhara would joke about getting rid of Mamoru so that the only characters in the anime would be girls. It’s the reason why the men in SM didn’t get enough love.
HA! Poor Kenji! xD I wouldn’t remember what my own dad looks like if I hadn’t seen him in a billion years. :P
lol, especially when he doesn’t look anything like you ;)
Or even he doesn’t appear in the first place! xD
Ahaha! Those unobservant girls XD I love the last panel. “Sob sob, you’re just so cruel!! snif snif” LOL
Thanks! ^.^
I always imagined her dad to be a bit of a baby at times XD
lol poor Kenji
8D That’s what happens when you don’t hear the full story!
Omg, that’s so Japan. Dads in Japan pretty much don’t exist. lol.
xD
Very cute! Kenji is definitely an under-appreciated character.
Thanks Elly =)!
Poor Kenji… he walked by his daughter’s room at just the wrong time.
hehehehe yeah. Though it’s more of Usagi’s fault for bringing up such a random topic XD
Hotaru is cute.
I read once, that Queen Serenity gave birth to Princess Serenity from the power of Silver Crystal, so she didn’t had a father. Expect a Silver Crystal :)
Um. o_o
This isn’t true, right..?
XD That’s pretty freakyyyy
That made me giggle >w<
yay ^.^
I always wondered about Princess Serenity’s dad! Somehow I always imagined he looked like Kenji Tsukino, but with a big crown and robe.
lol, at least you have someone in mind.. I can’t imagine ANYONE!! Serenity looks exactly like Queen Serenity XD
It was King Motoki. :3
Oh yes, and naturally you’ll be attracted to someone who looks like your father XD Just look at Chibiusa ^.^ lol
NICE ONE! LOL!
Thanks Brad!
I honestly wondered more about why we never saw her dad past the first season or so. XD And eventually various other minor characters are totally GONE by the end.
They must have passed their used by dates XD XD I couldn’t see them playing much part in the story since they never find out their identities. At least Ikuko-Mama is around to the end :D
lolol awesome!
:D!!
Hah! Poor Kenji. That is too funny and sad at the same time, it’s perfect! Did not see that one coming. LOL
Thanks Sabrblade :D!!
HAHA! Yes, I love it. This is so true and just so funny. Like after Sailor Moon R we never see him again LOL.
yay, glad you enjoyed this :D I tried to pinpoint the exact last episode he appeared in… had a bit of a hard time XD Don’t recall him in S,SS or Stars!
I am pretty sure his last episode is the episode with the game thing… And that was like when Al and En were the villains. Though… he must have been there when Chibiusa first popped up…
OMG I love this one.
Thank you ^__^!
Aww… D: I keep want know about her bio father before she’s reborn. =/ and last one poor ‘earth’ father. xD;
Thank you for this. ^^
aww, you’re welcome ^.^
Funny thing is, he can look like anyone, seeing as Serenity got ALL her looks/genes from her mother XD
*giggle*
=D
usagi’s got a point. it’s a really big mystery that she never knew her dad and that he was never mentioned
and…awwww poor kenji!
hehehe …and the father she knew barely showed his face XD This anime really lacks prominent male characters aye.
Only because males are useless wastes of space. ;)
Well that’s a possibility now that Serenity may have been born without a father @_@
XD Poor poor Kenji! I can totally imagine that, being his reaction too!
hehhe, thanks Lisa :D!
Awww that is just so cute xD
Thanks Sakky ^.^
Aw poor Kenji-papa! Well at least it’s not so bad in the manga and anime. In PGSM we see him once!
lol, and that was only in the Special Act..for a few seconds XD XD Couldn’t even see his face properly because he was crying or something XD
A very underrated character.
Luckily he was so sad that he didn’t notice that Luna can talk XD
ahaha yes. Imagine he peered through the door and saw her talking cat XD
Awww xD How true.. there are soooo many questions left.. and we’ll never get an answer T_T If you ask me.. thats one of Takeuchi-samas biggest “mistakes” … Otherwise.. there are a many parents .. “missing” O_o but the father of the main charakter… tztz ;P
Great Idea.. like everytime :D I hope your eyes are ok now :)
Your chibistyle is sooo sweet.. i wonder if it’s possible tu buy one of your beatuiful works? ;)
a big <3 for you.. can't wait until next week ;D
Thank Selena :) My eyes are getting better now, but they were really itchy and sore when I was working on this comic @.@ Had a bit of a hard time…
As for merchandise, that might be something of the near future :) Only if there’s enough demand for it though. Thanks for your interest :D!!
XDD Aww poor Kenji-papa! That’s something I’ve always wondered about myself actually. If I ever get the chance I would ask Takeuchi-sensei about him *_*
She probably didn’t think about him XD
Dawww. poor Kenji. So hard done by.
XD YA
I always lol at the amazing emphasis on female characters (and amazing numbers of them) in Sailor Moon, compared to male characters. Poor Kenji, poor Mamoru, poor… uhh…
hehehe very true ^_^
Poor Kenji. Poor, poor Kenji.
^.^;
