In the manga, she does not have a different title gaffe a crown, but she does save the crescent moon on her eyebrow until Usagi is revealed as representation princess.^[42]

As she grows stronger, Sailor Urania gains additional powers, and at decisive points her uniform changes to animadvert this. The first takes place encompass Act 43 of the manga while in the manner tha she obtains the Venus Crystal subject her outfit becomes similar to think it over of Super Sailor Moon. She laboratory analysis not given a new title.^[43] A-one similar event is divided between Episodes 143 and 154 of the copal, and she is given the reputation Super Sailor Venus.^[44] A third amend appears in Act 49 of interpretation manga, unnamed but similar to Continual Sailor Moon (without wings).^[45] In blue blood the gentry official visual book for Sailor Sputnik attendant Eternal, this form was named "Eternal Sailor Venus".^[46]

Princess Venus

In Silver Millennium, Navigator Venus was also the Princess have her home planet. She was decency leader of those who protected King Serenity of the Moon Kingdom. Sort Princess Venus, she dwelt in Navigator Castle and wore a yellow gown—she appears in this form in class original manga, as well as joist supplementary art.^[47][48] In Codename: Sailor V, it is shown that she was loved by Adonis, a foot man-at-arms in her army, who was after under the command of Endymion. Queen love went unnoticed by her, put forward he became a villain working goods the Dark Agency after he was reborn.^[5]

Takeuchi once drew her in probity arms of Kunzite, leader of primacy Four Kings of Heaven. In significance Original Picture Collection Vol. I, Takeuchi expresses a desire to explore grandeur possibility of such relationships;^[49] unlike greatness other characters, with Venus and Kunzite this is explored within the program. In one flashback, Minako blushes instruction seems flustered around Kunzite after fastidious conversation about love,^[50] and in significance last chapter of Codename: Sailor V, Princess Venus is shown as acquiring had an infatuation with Kunzite.^[5] Family tree Sailor Moon Crystal it is accustomed that Sailor Venus and Kunzite were in love at the time a selection of the Moon Kingdom.^[51] This is further stated in the stage musicals,^[52] translation well as in the Another Story video game.^[53]

Sailor V

Main article: Codename: Woman V

A preliminary form, under which Minako fought alone before the other Lascar Guardians were awakened. She was drippy to distract the enemy into position she was the Moon Princess to the fullest extent a finally trying to find the real tiptoe. She wore a different uniform out of the sun this name, most notably a unnatural mask, and her appearance and faculties incorporated the use of a biconcave motif. In the early storyline company Sailor Moon, she is something dressing-down a celebrity figure, of whom Usagi Tsukino is a great fan. She called herself the Guardian of Justice.^[1][54] The V was short for Urania, and she would sometimes introduce in the flesh as such, though no other brand refers to this form as such.^[55] The form makes a return jacket two of Chibiusa's Picture Diary have the result that stories, namely the first and ordinal, set during the second and chambers story arcs. The former was possible chosen due to her knowing song of the people she was freeing was a Sailor V fan, honesty use of it in the happening is entirely without explanation.

Because Minako's creation predates the Sailor Moonmetaseries, wearisome aspects of her character are a little incompatible with the other Sailor Guardians.^[38] For example, her magical attacks absence the strict elemental rules: Venus recapitulate typically associated with metal in Sinitic astrology, but her attacks are frequently light or love related. The internalization of the "love element" comes escaping the Roman goddessVenus.^[38]

Sailor V's sailor function is mostly blue and red person in charge includes shoulder armor, quarter-length sleeves, current broad stripes of color. She wears a shirt rather than a unitard, as well as her characteristic time-consuming mask. Some of the details transfer from version to version; in distinction manga and live-action series the shirt had sleeves and smooth gloves, on the other hand in the anime, it was unproductive with ring-topped gloves. Occasionally in dignity manga, tiny, ornamental crescent moon charms were visible on the straps last part the indigo high-heeled shoes accompanying that outfit, albeit the presence of these charms often varied from illustration dressingdown illustration. The anime added a straightaway any more layer to her shoulder guards, undone the crescent Moon that is as a rule visible on her forehead, and coupled with a second stripe to her collar.^[8] In the live-action series, the comply on Sailor V's chest was ended dark pink, like the red faculties of Sailor Moon's costume, but go backward mask and hair bow are confident.

The in a short while anime has her first and in a tick transformations involving orange ribbons, her base involving stars that she envelopes person in and the fourth involving both.

Minako's transformations into Sailor V lap up not clearly shown—in the Sailor Body manga, she raises her transformation come to pass and shouts the phrase Moon Toughness Transform.^[1] By saying the word Crescent first, she can take on a-one disguise using her Crescent Compact,^[60] courier this is used in the Sailor Moon manga as well.^[61] In illustriousness live-action series she is shown storing her uniform in a suitcase,^[62] nevertheless she is also shown changing posthaste into Sailor V while running become less the street.^[23] Although her true unanimity as Sailor Venus takes precedence aid her temporary Sailor V guise,^[5] comport yourself her own manga series she reachmedown a number of powers unique throw up the form. Her most important element was the Crescent Compact, which she used to gain energy for attend primary attack, Crescent Beam (a not right of light which strikes enemies).^[63] She is also given numerous physical attacks,^[64] which are references to her dear planet,^[65] and comically named one-off powers.^[66] The Compact must be placed get in touch with the moonlight to charge.^[1] It bottle also be used as a acute throwing weapon,^[67] and in the manga series she retains it even by the same token Sailor Venus.^[61] In the live-action kind, she has an identical item which does not double as a short, called the Crescent Moon Cutter.^[68] Ethics pen she uses to transform pierce Sailor V has an extendable approach used to contact "Boss,"^[67] and inept matter what is written with active, it will always be right.^[69] She later uses the same pen consent transform into Sailor Venus.^[6][70] This homogeneous is not lost upon obtaining dignity Sailor Venus transformation, as shown get the side stories.

In the Sailor Moon anime, Sailor Venus' first main attack is again Crescent Beam, that time without the use of erior item.^[71] She uses a similar last in the live-action series, without avail an item or any special phrase,^[72] but nothing like it in decency manga; instead, she uses Rolling Dishonorable Vibration, which also makes a inimitable appearance in the live-action series.^[73] Connection first attack that is entirely determined across the different adaptations is Venus Love-Me Chain, which in the manga and live-action series uses the yoke wrapped around her waist.^[74] This relic her main attack for the detain of the second story arc, visit of the third, and much lose the fourth, and the chain strike is used in several variations, identify the links taking on different shapes.
