I just wanted to share some monologues that i found on the internet a while ago. These monologues are from the ANIME and well, lets say that this debunks the myth that Usagi and Mamoru are together just because of the past, which to me sounds a little bit silly, since in the manga Usagi says in the japanese version that everytime she'd bump into him she'd feel very happy and her heart would beat faster. Granted their relationship in the anime was a lot more childish but that doesn't mean that the feelings and attraction weren't there.
And these monologues and songs are from the ANIME and they come on a CD.
Usagi's Monologue (Translated by Alex Glover)
Let's see, let's see, let's see... I'm Tsukino Usagi, a loving girl in eighth grade. This is really strange! When I first met this guy, I thought he was a real big jerk, but I've realized that I've gradually come to like him. Girls are so weird! I wonder if it's all right for me to like a guy who's so stuck up!
But... Every time I see him, for some reason I feel invigorated. What on earth is this wondrous feeling? Every time I see him, each and every day seems more fresh than ever before in my life. *sigh*... I want to make the most beautiful love like this.
Mamoru-san... Tuxedo Kamen-sama... And Endymion-sama of my awakening ancient memories of the past... To be with you, I think I want to become any girl it takes. "I believe in you"... I wonder if that's the same as saying I love you. By the window at night, when I think of you far away, why... Why...?
So, as you can read Usagi was actually in love with Mamoru, but she didn't understand her feelings at all. The feelings were there, they were not caused by glimpses of a past life.
There's even a song she sings to Mamoru (dreaming by itself is no good) where she says that she's going to listen to her heart and fall in love.
Just like a wing, spread your arms wide Wow... wow...
So, it's all right, blow off your anxiety Wow... wow...
The sensors of my heart are catching palpitations
I wonder if it could be that I am in love?
The magic of my smile I am offering to you
I will give you the wonder that only I have
*I can feel it, the next world, I believe that Someday my dreams will surely come true Just fall in love, listen to your heart sound Wow... wow... So, it's all right, take a deep breath now Wow... wow... As long as you keep dreaming, you won't make it end
Every now and then, we may have a small fight But the beat in my heart doesn't change I am chasing after the same dream as you And I am going to become more beautiful All the things I have been longing for I can do them, and thinking that's a feeling I treasure
**Just like a wing, spread your arms wide Wow... wow... So, it's all right, blow off your anxiety Wow... wow... Because your dreams will surely come true
*I can feel it, the next world, I believe that Someday my dreams will surely come true Just fall in love, listen to your heart sound Wow... wow... So, it's all right, take a deep breath now Wow... wow... As long as you keep dreaming, you won't make it end
**Just like a wing, spread your arms wide Wow... wow... So, it's all right, blow off your anxiety Wow... wow... Because your dreams will surely come true
And Mamoru, well, how can I say this without sounding mean... I thought it was obvious that he cared about Usagi with or without Memories... He didn't need memories to prove that he loved her in ep 59... He didn't know anything about their past, since it was implied that the moonlight knight was the embodiment of his memories. Why does Ann get all crazy when Mamoru holds Usagi's hands? Because it's obvious to Ali that Mamoru cares about Usagi and not Ann as she thought. Then the moonlight knight says that he wanted to protect Usagi not sailor moon. Usagi was the girl that was precious to him. It's obvious that if he cares about Usagi in the second season he also cared for her in the first one. I've watched this episode in italian, spanish (from spain and mexico), portuguese and japanese and in all those versions Mamoru says that the one that is important (the one he loves) is Usagi, the only version that got it all wrong was the american version, but what can we expect? the whole version was butchered, censored and completely different from the original one. And let's not forget something really important, Mamoru protects Usagi in ep 34, why would he risk his life if he didn't care about her? He obviously cares. He didn't know anything about her being a princess and what have you. He protected her because he loved her. True love is when you care more about the person you love than you care about your own life. That's true love. (or so I read somewhere)
That's the reason the silver crystal appeared, because what happened on the moon was happening again, Mamoru was injured protecting the person he cares about. And yes, it was Mamoru protecting Usagi (not Tuxedo Kamen protecting Sailor Moon) even Luna says that in the beginning of the next episode.
How can I be so sure about this? Well let's listen to his song (not literally...I should say let's read his song)
Crossing Time
Now the time when we first met
I cross time and dream of it...
Amidst the ruins, that is where I found you My trembling shoulders became tense... If the world once again crumbles to pieces Only we, the chosen two will be left... In the darkness of night, when a sudden sound Frightens you, I will hold you close to me
The fallen skyscrapers send off on the wind blowing through the air The sound of a whistled requiem...
The age far off someday when we are born again Will be a tranquil utopia...
It is so very wondrous, this feeling that I have Long ago, somewhere, I've had it before... The threads of memory drawn in and tied together The capital of the ancient forest Shined upon by the full blue moon The two of us fell in a painful love
The night I ran away with you was so cold and heart-breaking The shooting stars above were countless
Even if someday we are reborn, I know that surely I will search for you again
The fallen skyscrapers send off on the wind blowing through the air The sound of a whistled requiem...
The age far off someday when we are born again...
This song should have played when he got his memories from their past life.
Notice how he says "It is so very wondrous, this feeling that I have, long ago, somewhere, I've had it before..." Meaning that he also has, in this lifetime, that wondrous feeling that Usagi mentions in her monologue.
And in his monologue he says he's in love too... His first love. But in order to understand the irony of the whole monologue, I have to add an extract of a dialogue between Luna and Usagi (this is from the second CD)
Luna: Eventually Usagi's love ends up in failure.
Usagi: It's always just a one-sided love anyways!
So by failure they mean that it's unrequited.
Mamoru's Monologue (Translated by Alex Glover)
The first love... So often, it ends in failure. I'm waiting for a sad ending. In this age, there are many people who have become unable to act with simple kindness. That's sad... I am broken-hearted, with deep wounds. But if there was a girl whose heart was broken in the same way, I would comfort her softly. And then, thinking of her feelings, I would cry. Such pure girls are the kind I love.
So basically Mamoru is saying that he's waiting for a sad ending to his first love because he thinks it's one-sided. Then he says he's heart broken but that he'd comfort a girl whose heart was broken in the same way... and he goes as far as to say that he'd cry thinking about her feelings... why? Because he's going through the same thing.
And the irony is that he's talking about Usagi, because Usagi is the one who suffers from unrequited love according to the second CD from the anime. So he'd comfort the girl that doesn't return his feelings.
First love= failure= one-sided love= sad ending= heart broken.
Girl whose heart is broken in the same way
First Love= failure= one-side love= sad ending= heart broken.
Besides I thought it was pretty obvious and a cliché that if a guy is teasing a girl ,in an anime or manga, is because he likes her... why else would he waste his time trying to get the girl’s attention?! Or doesn't Mamoru look a little crestfallen when Usagi yells at him that she doesn't like a guy who doesn't understand a girl's feelings?
Their whole relationship was a cliché, there is even a parody of Mamoru's behavior (teasing) toward Usagi in ep 65. There are two kids teasing Chibi-Usa, one even calls her odango... Chibi-Usa is not naive so she knows that the kids are hitting on her. She says "are you hitting on me? You are so immature, that's why everyone makes fun of you" or something along those lines. And then Minako says: "Don't let this bother you, boys tend to tease the girls they like instead of being nice to them"
I'm telling ya... Cliché. That's the reason they didn't develop their relationship. It was obvious that the arguing and silly bickering was a front.
In ep 61 Usagi says "Why Mamo-chan? We FINALLY acknowledged each other's love. SO, Why do you SUDDENLY want to break up with me?"
She says that because they must have talked. She doesn't say. "Why Mamo-chan? We finally remembered our love" that's just silly. She can't understand why he wants to break up with her since they acknowledged their love. But she is sure that he loves HER, anyway. Because Naoko didn't create two characters that fell in love because of their past, she created two characters whose love is eternal because they are twin souls (not soul mates), who will always be in love and who are together because they WANT TO.
I've been watching the musicals on youtube lately and if you pay attention to the songs you can easily tell that they are together because as they sing THEIR LOVE IS FOREVER. They say that their meeting is foreordained and that she will always choose Mamoru. That even is they die they will always meet again and again.
There's a scene where Mamoru bumps into Usagi and he starts teasing her and calling her odango atama, just like in the anime. But they are together, because when Usagi is kinda mad he calls her Usako. Usagi stars crying because she wants to go to the ocean and Mamoru promises that he'll take her... if she finishes her summer homework... he never stopped teasing her.
In another musical Mamoru is dying (he actually died) and he's telling Usagi that they'd meet again, that when they meet again he wants to be a normal Mamoru and be with a normal Usagi and have a normal happy relationship with her. He is sure that he will fall in love with her all over again. Because he has fallen in love with her three times, because their love is forever as they keep on singing.
There's even a scene in the anime where Usagi is going to say exactly what she felt when she first met Mamoru... but then she's interrupted, so typical in sailor moon. Anyway Ami is saying that she didn't want to go out with tigers eye (ep 144) because she didn't feel anything special when she met him. She said that if her partner is destined by god with the red string of fate then there will be a time for the two of them to meet and when that happens she'll know because you must feel something special when you meet someone of that sort. Then you see Usagi gasp when she remembers what she felt when she met Mamoru, because they both felt it... They are TWIN SOULS. Usagi says: A destined partner, huh?... When I first met Mamo-chan" and then Minako cuts her off.
So it’s really silly to say that they are together or that they felt in love when they remembered... yeah, cause Mamoru is just some hero that dies or gets injured protecting Usagi just because... But not because he actually cares about her...
When he finally remembers he remembers Tsukino Usagi, the odango atama. I thought it was obvious in the way they animated that part of the scene when he remembers. Pay close attention to his gaze when he says ... no, my dumpling head, Tsukino Usagi. His gaze softens and he smiles. Because Usagi is the girl he was attracted to, not sailor moon. That was the reason behind that line. And then Usagi says “you got them back, you got your memories back”. That’s all he had to say for Usagi to know he finally remembered. He didn’t say “My princess” or something like that, since he was not looking for a princess all he ever wanted was to know who he really was, he wanted to remember his childhood.
And the reason he finally remembered was because he proved that he loved Usagi, just like in the manga. Because in the manga he remembers about their past after proving that he loved her, by protecting her with his own life. So, why should that be different in the anime? Just because we didn’t see him kissing a handkerchief, doesn’t mean he didn’t care about Usagi. There are different ways to prove that you care about someone. Risking your life protecting someone you care about for example, that’s a bigger prove than to have him kiss some handkerchief. But we saw him trying to get Usagi’s attention all the time, staring and smiling at her, worrying about her when he thought she might get lost in the game center, grabbing her by the wrist and looking back with a smile on his face and we also saw him giving her explanations as to why Natsumi was in his apartment as if Usagi was his jealous girlfriend or something, because he cared about her. Then he tries to reach for Usagi in ep 59, he could have just left but he takes his ugly green jacket off and tries to get to her in the same way they tried to reach for each other when they were Endymion and Serenity. Does that say something?
I might keep on rambling on an on but the point is that they love who they are and they were in love during the first season. Usagi wasn’t going to openly admit it because she was stubborn and, well, Mamoru actually thought that Usagi hated him and wasn’t going to do anything about his feelings either. But that doesn’t mean that the feelings weren’t there. Since they are twin souls and their love is… forever.
One more thing... When Usagi asks Mamoru how much he loves her in ep 200 he really says: When I’m around you I feel invigorated.
That is the wondrous feeling that Usagi describes in her monologue, same wondrous feeling Mamoru mentions in his song.
I don’t actually think you can get that feeling when you get a few memories from a past life. Because let’s be honest, it must be kinda freaky to suddenly feel invigorated when you are close to a person when you never felt it before.
So they are together and will always be together because of what they feel when they are around each other, what they have always felt. Since they are two pieces of the same whole, destined to come together as one. That’s why they say it’s destiny that they are together. Since their meeting has been foreordained by god. Since god was the one that created them as one and split them, in order for them to find each other. That’s what they mean by a destined partner and the whole red string of fate thing. They are talking about your other half, the one person that completes you. And that’s why they are completely different, opposite poles attract.
Besides there was only going to be one season of sailor moon. It was the story of two twin souls finding each other and that was it, the whole crystal tokyo and the future was something that Naoko came up with when they told her that they wanted to continue with the story. So they are not together because of the future, since that wasn’t the idea that Naoko had in mind... all she wanted to create was the story of two people that will always love each other in each and every one of their reincarnations but not because of a memory. We can go ask Naoko! I read that she even reads fanfiction, she knows that her beloved couple is meant to be!
And these monologues and songs are from the ANIME and they come on a CD.

) and I just had to find something official ( from the anime) that says otherwise. 
Calling a little boy IMMATURE for teasing her... I wonder what she would think if he knew of his Dad's idiotic ways of flirting...
