Who would win Death Battle Royale of the Anime Guardian Senshi


This is my attempt to gain some outside opinions on who would win in a DB fight Battle Royale between the 4 Guardian Senshi; Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. You may recall that I made a battle royale death prediction however that was meant to be a realistic depiction of their canonical selves.
It is very clear that DB will be using a strange composite and most likely focusing on Sailor Moon Classic, the first anime. This is…. unfortunate given the lack of consistency in the 90s anime, although if you ignore scaling, the Sailor Moon Classic Guardians are fairly low power, closer to consistently street level then on the cosmic scale of their manga counterparts. Given the sheer complexity of this fight I thought I’d get some outside opinions. Of course, most people haven’t seen the 200 episodes of the anime and the 3 movies. As such I wanted to quickly list some of the best feats of the Classic Anime Senshi. However, because DB doesn’t use scaling I won’t including scaling which REAlly nerfs them. This is basically their best personal classic anime feats. This is what DB would likely use and what casuals would probably think of as their best feats.

Joint Feats:

Let’s begin with what powers and feats the Senshi possess collectively. This brings up a certain problem, the Senshi together have durability feats way above their personal feats. This includes surviving within some kind of black hole (72), described as a tear in space time and a hole between dimensions. They also survive an attack that was describing as lifewiping the Earth (88) and in their super form were able to take a city-sized explosion from the Golden Crystal (165) which literally 4 episodes go was described as being able to destroy stars and violently destroyed a planet on screen (161). Given their attacks would have no chance of scratching that and yet they do anyway…

It’s kind of a problem. I suppose the way DB would try and justify this is by saying it’s their personal forcefields that they can briefly maintain and so a fight between the senshi would be in part a test of stamina as they try and wear each other down. If that sounds really weird, it is. It’s kinda like scaling is actually important or something. They were also able to survive outer space (44), absolute zero temperatures (39) and resisted the knockout gas of Telulu (121).

In terms of speed, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus were able to get inside a market faster then people there were able to notice suggesting subsonic speed in order to help Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars (66). In their super forms the Senshi were able to dodge a cannonball at close range (130), suggesting supersonic reflexes, possibly movement speed.

Mercury Tactical Analysis:
+Smartest
+Ultimate Attack can bfr which none of the others can protect against with their manga teleportation
+Can still act while paralyzed
+Shabon Spray can obscure her position
+Mercury Computer lets her track the position of all the others
-Freezing is gonna barely slow the others down since they resisted the absolute zero of Kunzite’s winds
-Shabon Spray’s Knockout ability wouldn’t work since the others resisted the knockout gases of Telulu
-Physically Weakest
-Timid and more easily intimidated


Mars Tactical Analysis:
+Paralysis can one-shot Jupiter and Venus and cripple Mercury and she can use lots at once
+Psionics and Intuition can guide her through the chaos (and hearing)
+Extremely accurate ultimate attack could be a one-shot if it lands
+Seems to have the greatest range in the anime
-Her Anger is exploitable by more cool-headed opponents
-Not as good at close range as Jupiter and Venus


Jupiter Tactical Analysis:
+Most Durable and Most Stamina
+Best at Close Range
+Long-Range Attacks are at least comparable in danger
+Most skilled fighter
-Most direct in both powers and mindset
-Doesn’t have any guaranteed one-hit KOs


Venus Tactical Analysis:
+Has the best spammable attack, Crescent Beam Shower, which can attack lots of protectiles at once, with the only comparable power being the Rei’s Ofuda and Rei can’t spam those like Minako since she has a limited amount
+Kick Strength would be heavily dangerous
+Technically most experience
+Most Unpredictable
+Most Agile
-Attacks don’t seem to have as much raw power as Jupiter and Mars
-Lazy


So yeah, who do you think would win? I really don’t know.
