Galaxia inconsistencies during Stars anime

[NeoJupiter]

When Stars begins the season, we have Galaxia awaken Nephelenia in order to ensure that Saturn is reawakend.

Shortly after she goes and takes Tuxedos starseed as she sensed it.

After that...she sends her animamates to find the remaining Star Seeds....she even comes face 2 face with the Senshi and tells them to stay out of her way....

At the end of the season she talks about Sailor Senshi having true star seeds and how she's after all of them.....

So why not give direct orders to the animamates and co. To obtain the Senshi starseeds instead of having them go after every rando there is in Tokyo!

Obviously the writers had to fill episodes but is there not a smarter way to go about it instead of this huge inconsistency.

How would you fix this issue? Ensuring that the show gets to 200 episodes but also making sure that the threat makes sense.

Yeah, and why wasn't she damaged when her star seed was hurt?

The directors really went to a wrong direction, having her killing everyone then without a good fight.

 

[Slowpokeking]

I think it would be good to throw aside "victim of the week", having her minions going after the senshi. And let Star Lights help them on the way. The villains could be redeemed and help the senshi. There are 20 filler episodes , shouldn't be too hard to fill up.

Also the goal could be finding Princess Kakyu as well. Let the Princess have more screen time and make her more useful.

Still the worst part was its ending, PLZ fix it by giving us a serious beatdown of Galaxia if they truly want her to kill off all other senshi.

I have a theory that Galaxia is a great troll. She knows the identity of the senshi, she can destroy an entire city because she deems humans unworthy of having starseeds, and then gets healed to become a happy hippie.

In the manga, whereas Lead Crow is defeated, Venus and Mars head to Eternal Sailor Moon, only to be burned alive with their starseeds taken by Galaxia. Then with Nyanko confronting Starlights, Galaxia kills her off because "trash can never become a star".

If that's not trolling, Galaxia seems like a self holy powered b*tch who takes great delight for her senshi are failing her. It makes her different that Moon, who mostly rely on her senshi to continue fighting for what they believe in.

It would have been necessary to attract the warriors by attacking the victims of the day, without putting Star Seeds everywhere. As for the second season 2 with the negative points.

And then, you had to kill the warriors one by one, every 5-6 episodes by a different anima-mate. She fails, and succeeds, and is killed in the process.

Behold the classic case of the anime taking random plot points of the manga.Than trying to stretch the plot.To do a formulaic plot
In the manga she was after sailor crystals and destroying planets.Not civilians.To fix this thru could just have her try to look for sailor guardians and there star seeds.Not knowing who they are.

In the manga as well. Should I remind you of Galaxia having enough power to destroy the Inners, Outers, the Starlights and Kakyuu in one single chapter of the manga...??? but oh! she gotta send her stupid army of Senshis to destroy them all.

 

[KingPriceman]

well, they could have always went the DBZ route (and even replaced Arisawa with Kikuchi, which IMO may be a 50/50 Good/bad decision) with a two year long arc with battles that take weeks to cover with episodes having some developing scenes peppered in along the way.

90’s anime inconsistency (this applies to Queen Beryl, too):

Destroying your own army of soldiers. Why?

Manga:

I don’t think there are any inconsistencies because Galaxia’s goal in the manga really is to demonstrate to Usagi how helpless she is. She ultimately wants to infuse Usagi with anger and despair because she wants Chaos to take control of Sailor Moon. Her theory is that the two opposing powers, those of Chaos and Sailor Moon, will result in the destruction of both, leaving her, Galaxia, as the strongest senshi.

Really......... the manga fans not accepting Naoko's Bible flaws.

Sailor Galaxia didn't need an army in the manga. She had enough power to destroy all the Senshis in a blast and make Usagi suffer. Full stop.

Should I draw a diagram for the manga fans to understand this?

Let's see what the next excuse is.........

Dragon Ball Z was so stretched out because the manga had a lot more ground to cover and Toei was more faithful adapting Dragon Ball than Sailor Moon and once Toei got caught up to the manga, which I think happened more or less when Z started, they had no stretch it out with filler and padding to not overtake the manga. Sailor Moon just doesn't have a reason to be that stretched out because Takeuchi only did like 13 chapters per storyline.

As for Shunsuke Kikuchi doing the music, it at least could have been interesting. I know his music is polarizing for American DBZ fans who grew up with the Bruce Faulconer replacement score but Dragon Ball was far from the only show he composed music for. I remember his score for Tenchi in Tokyo being quite good for a series that was otherwise insufferable. He also did the music for the original Kamen Rider. Never really bothered to check that out but that's probably the closest to actually resembling Sailor Moon so maybe that would have influenced his work in a theoretical timeline where he did the music for Sailor Moon.

I fail to see how her having an army is an inconsistency or plot hole.She could just wanted underlings or people under her.

I fail to see how her having an army is an inconsistency or plot hole.She could just wanted underlings or people under her.

What I meant is that purely from a (1) military and (2) strategist perspective, it doesn’t make sense for Queen Beryl to kill the generals because the generals still may be useful for her—even if they fail.

And the same applies to Galaxia in the 90’s anime.

 

[Clow]

And, yes, Galaxia doesn’t really need minions or an army. She can destroy everyone, except for Sailor Moon and Chaos (90’s anime and manga).

 

[sailormoongalaxy]

Galaxia's problem in the anime isn't really one. She fears the light of hope.
She puts her pawns in place. But when Kakyu appears, and during the concert, she must have felt Chibi-Chibi once again.
And again, in the 194, she feels fear for the first time. When she sees that many Guardians Sailor gather on Earth.

Well, just because it's a bad idea doesn't mean that it couldn't happen. She was power-mad and with the unexpected interference from the senshi I guess she took it out on whoever she wanted.

Meanwhile, as far as Galaxia is concerned, the chasing after citizens for star seeds was definitely a massive plot hole. I guess the writers of the anime didn't want to have to try and find a way to deviate from the *exact same plot* as every prior season of 1) Find target 2) Check target for key item 3) Bail 4) Repeat. That particular 'plot' started to make no sense in SuperS with the dream mirrors and no one thinking to hunt down Chibi-Moon when she called Pegasus in every episode, but it got even worse in Stars.

But these same inconsistencies apply to anime Galaxia as well…

Anyways obviously the meta explanation for both is just to introduce us to the Animamates and give the season it’s usually sub-boss line-up (or MOTD fodder for the manga)

The in-universe reason? Galaxia was just feeling really lazy in both.

 

[Clow]

In the manga, Galaxia is not as lazy and kills Tuxedo Mask, Mars, Venus, Pluto, Saturn, Neptune... one by one and without relying on minions. Her minions exist purely to show what she has done to other planets of the universe. Sailor Tin Nyanko, for example, works for Galaxia because she was promised a sailor crystal.

If Galaxia had destroyed everyone at once, the story would be significantly shorter and not as interesting.

 

[Yamoon]

in Sailor Stars : i thought that Galaxia's goal (before attacking Earth and getting the other "Earth/Moon" Sailor crystals) was to find Kakyu and that's why she sent her Animate to look for her because they probably think that she changed her identity to hide herself (a bit like SuperS when they're looking for the victim hiding Pegasus).... For me, it's pretty clear because as soon as Kakyu is discovered , Galaxia attacks the Earth without any of her soldiers.

I remember reading stars arc.First I was oh there underlings.Than I read which reveal Tin Nyanko and Luna and Artemis came from the same planet.Than it was like oh.These were not just underlings they were survivers or living trophies of there own planet.Which only came to Galaxia.As the only way to survive and became own senshie.While there home planet was destroyed.
