How come nobody noticed that Usagi wears a golden brooch?

[trendyfunlover]

Well, don't worry, at least I noticed it. Anyways, why did no normal person notice a golden brooch on a schoolgirl? I mean, thieves could, like steal it. Or Shingo could sell it. I mean, like I saw some members discussing this on another topic of mine + I thought to make another topic about it so y'all could discuss + I seem smartypants that I create so many topics. Alright then, type/write your thoughts on this thingy + since Usagi never wanted to be a Senshi in the first season, why didn't she sell it herself? Yeah, like I could buy it... literally and monetarily! Type/write now.

I don't know if it was mentioned anywhere, but I don't think it was solid gold and it probably didn't look like it either. It's probably just gold coloured metal with some sort of glass ornaments. Usagi herself said just "a pretty brooch!" when she got it from Luna, people might've noticed that it was pretty but not thought that it could be worth anything much. (Besides, robbing a schoolgirl for a potentially worthless brooch? )

I always wondered what would happen if say, Chibiusa stole the brooch and tried to transform with it.

^^Chibi-Usa needs to keep her paws to herself; we already had to deal with her handiness technique in R.

Regarding theft, it's not a big issue in Japan because it happens so infrequently. Japanese people are taught from an early age that, if it doesn't belong to you, bring it to a police station. It's not unheard of people reclaiming lost valuables left on trains and in hotels, with everything intact.

Maybe they think its just a normal cute pretty brooch? But sometimes Sailor moon confuses me.

I guess the brooches/sticks only work for those they are created for. Otherwise everybody could just have copies of one model.

More to the point, why didn't anybody notice talking cats in school bags & people talking on little computers/watches with video chat?

:ohmy:

 

[Cutiebunny]

That's easy to explain. In Japan, people try to stay blindly ignorant to their surroundings because they view it as impolite to stick their noses into others' business. So while people might have noticed the cats in the bag and the video stuff, they probably felt it best to continue on their way and not ask any questions.

 

[Rika-Chicchi]

It looks too much like a toy? What I really wonder is why her school authorities didn't stop her wearing it at school.

The dot on the I in Irony is that nowadays, such issues would possibly be obsolete with today's iPhones, miniaturization and advanced Animatronics...

Yeah, they could have mistaken the cats for a Furby

I like how it was handled in PGSM: she just wore a pendant.

If I saw a young teenager walking down the street with s gold brooch I'd assume it's fake or a toy.

Yup, I know, but it's just, like the idea. Now let me brag that I know about other cultures too : In England, people take it as a great great offense staring at them. Yup, I know that staring doesn't happen here in the US nor other places, but they take it as great offense. But I can be, like totally wrong.

It's no biggie. I go to a private school and wear a uniform + it doesn't really matter if you wear, like a brooch, button or a simple necklace. They don't accept not wearing your uniform ( I don't say ), wearing make up and stuff. But even if people thought it was a toy, there are still kids who can get it. Don't you worry for a second about that. But I guarantee you it is gold. Hey, I've watched the series, you know.

No, we don't.

jewelry isn't allowed as part of junior high school rules in Japan. (i should know, i work at one.) like not even wristwatches are allowed... but Sailormoon also breaks other rules regarding Japanese school life, too. junior high school students must eat school lunch as it is served to them in their classrooms, so all of the episode plots revolving around obento are totally unrealistic for junior high (though totally appropriate for high school). i have to wonder if Tokyo public schools were *that* different 20 years ago (which i find doubtful) or if Takeuchi-sensei is just forgetful/using artistic license.

I consider it barbaric for people to walk around their houses with their shoes on.

Her brooch didn't stay gold for long. It later turned pink, then red (a was heart-shaped), then gold and pink (and grew wings), and then yellow (and got fatter).

It looks way too prominent to be allowed in Japanese schools. But yeah, her classmates might steal it if it looks beautiful to them, but at least her risk of being mugged for it in the streets is slim. lol

Of course, if they try to steal it right off of her person, they risk getting deterred by a faceful of silver light.
