"I always believe in my heart
Incredible romance ~"
A song "Legend of Moonlight", recalling many friends' good memories of the classic anime "Sailor Moon".
Back then, we, the little guys who are boys, are quietly waiting in front of the TV, sneaking to watch the animation adapted from this "comic for girls", especially seeing the bridge section of the sailor warriors transforming, which are our most precious memories.
Among the sailor warriors, there is a saying of "four warriors of the inner solar system", that is, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus, plus the protagonist Moon Hare, constitute the earliest protagonist five- group.
But looking at it, everyone can see how sailor Venus (Aino Minako) is different from other warriors who guard the moon hare?
First of all, from the perspective of hair color and dress, Mizuno Yami (Mercury) is blue-haired and blue-haired, Rei Hono (Mars) is black-haired and red-haired, Makoto Kino (Jupiter) is brown-haired green- and Aino Minako (Venus) is blonde orange- and very similar to the protagonist Moon Hare.
Secondly, from the name, the pronunciation of "wild" in Japanese is consistent with the auxiliary word "の". So other warriors can also correspond to the planet they represent, but Aino Minako's name does not have the word "gold" for Venus.
Why is she the only one so special? The biggest reason is that Minako Aino is an anime character who appears earlier than the protagonist Moon Hare.
The story of this has to start from the origin of "Sailor Moon".
In 1991, Naoko Takeuchi, a female manga artist known as "Princess Naoko", accepted the suggestion of the responsible editor and planned to draw a manga about "Sailor Suit + Sailor Warrior".
Prior to this, Naoko Takeuchi had already drawn a short manga, Sailor Suit Warrior V, and she used this as the basis to recreate "Sailor Moon" with the same world view.
The protagonist of Sailor Suit Warrior V is Minako Aino, and the manga tells the story of a junior high school student, Minako Aino, who transforms into a righteous warrior sailor V and fights against the forces of evil. It can be said that "Sailor Suit Warrior V" is the predecessor and prototype of "Sailor Moon".
Because Aino Minako already had her own unique image and name before the appearance of the Moon Hare, as the protagonist of the new work, Tsuki Hare, may refer to the shape of Aino Minako, so the special existence of Aino Minako will appear.
In fact, in the early days of the manga series, the hair color of the Moon Hare was not blond. In the color pages of the manga, the hair color of the Moon Hare hovers between silver and pink, and finally the responsible editor hammers it out, setting it as the same blonde hair as Minako Aino.
However, Naoko Takeuchi still did not give up these original settings, using silver and white as the hair color of Princess Qiannidi in the past life of the Moon Hare, and the pink hair color was given to the daughter of the Moon Hare, the little rabbit.
Although Aino Minako's particularity has some historical origins, Naoko Takeuchi also felt that this "special" circle should be given a plausible reason, so she added a "Moon Hare Stand-in" setting for Aino Minako, which solved the problem of overlapping hair color and styling from the plot.
More than once, Naoko Takeuchi has expressed her love for Minako Aino, and in her heart, Aino Minako should be the protagonist of Sailor Moon. But no matter how much the author likes a character, launching a new comic must be based on market considerations. Moon Hare is also a very pleasing character, and the success of Sailor Moon completely confirms this.
The English name of Venus comes from Venus, the goddess of "love and beauty" in Roman mythology, and the word "love" of Minako Aino is also estimated to be derived from this, so it is different from the other four members of the protagonist group, perhaps this is the real preference.
Do you like Minako Aino? Still like the other sailor warriors in the protagonist's group, let's discuss it together.
