What I would hope a Guardian Senshi Battle Royale would be like



This is a theoretical transcript of how I would like a Guardian Senshi Battle Royale to maybe go. I don’t need every feat or scaling to be mentioned, just general gists down. I’m sorry that I don’t really have Wiz and Boomstick’s voices down. One of my friends helped me write a section and it really feels more like them. This is based on the original manga which is the canonical version. I tried to keep the section lengths in line with the Megaman Battle Royale section lengths.

Wiz: Ami Mizuno was a bright kid…
Boomstick: “Bright” is putting it mildly. With an IQ of over 300, she was a supergenius! Remember Tails? *plays clip from Tails vs Luigi* Yeah, like that.
Wiz: Yes, very bright, to the point that the Evil Dark Kingdom wanted to capture her to use her intellect to take over all of Japan. However, she was rescued by Sailor Moon, and found that she was Sailor Mercury, one of the legendary Sailor Senshi.
Boomstick: Sadly her being a cosmic soldier didn’t change the fact that she was still a complete nerd *clip of Ami telling the others they need to study*
Wiz: While her generally timid and nerdly demeanor might not seem very impressive, as a Sailor Senshi she was granted “cosmic power” as well as flight, teleportation, energy blasts and more.
Boomstick: It’s my worst nightmare…a nerd with superpowers….that can force me to read! *manga scan from mercury short story of Ami telling the reader they must study* Ahhhh!
Wiz: …yes well Ami bolsters her intellect with her Mercury Computer and Visor which grants her the ability to detect track monitor, including seeing through illusions and seeing into other dimensions.
Boomstick: Sailor Mercury has attained 3 forms of Sailor Senshi, from regular garden variety Sailor Senshi, to Super Sailor Senshi to Eternal Sailor Senshi. These enhance Mercury’s cosmic power and water-based abilities.
Hey Wiz? Why is the Sailor Senshi of the planet CLOSEST TO THE SUN associated with water?
Wiz: It has to do with Japanese symbolism which…
Boomstick: Right…well Sailor Mercury can feel the flow of water nearby as well as release a freezing haze. Her first attack “Mercury Aqua Mist” creates a mist that obscures vision. That seems…kind of weak.
Wiz: Yes it’s true Mercury’s first spell lacked offensive power, as Ami was initially a timid and shy person, as can be seen as well with her second attack “Hyperspatial Sphere Generate” which creates a pocket dimension to trap enemies rather then fight them. While these abilities lacked aggressive power, they did provide her with extra utility for the team.
Boomstick: Though later on she got some actual attacks: like the Shine Aqua Illusion, an attack with creates a spiral burst of water capable of tearing through advanced robots from hundreds of years in the future.
Wiz: High Pressure Industrial Metal Cutters used to cut modern metals require PSI of at least 55,000. Sailor Mercury’s Shining Aqua Illusion is likely greater then this. That’s one strong water attack!
Boomstick: She also possess a freezing variant called Shine Snow Illusion. Her Mercury Aqua Mirage is even stronger, channeling water around her body in a spiral before firing several water piercing water blasts from it.
Wiz: However none of them compare to her strongest attack: The Mercury Aqua Rhapsody
Boomstick: This ability summons a Harp…
Wiz: Actually, Boomstick it’s a “lyre”
Boomstick: Whatever it is, it’s alive and shoots water blasts when Mercury plays it.
Wiz: The blasts of water from the Mercury Aqua Rhapsody are so powerful that it destroyed an entire nightmare dimension with just one burst and can even harm Eternal Sailor Senshi, the strongest form of Sailor Senshi.
Boomstick: Yeah as a Cosmic Guardian, Sailor Mercury has enough power to guard the Star System from cosmic threats. She has JUMPED into orbit, tanked an attack powerful enough to wipe all life from the Earth…
Wiz: An attack requiring likely at least millions of megatons of TNT to accomplish, could survive the presence of the Black Hole Death Phantom which fades entire planets out of existence, could fly from the Moon to the Earth in a single sunrise
Boomstick: And this was all in her base form. Considering Super Sailor Moon is over 10,000 times stronger then Base Sailor Moon, Eternal Sailor Mercury is likely much stronger!
Wiz: However that doesn’t mean she’s invincible…she actually…*clip of Ami being nerd*
Boomstick: Again…A complete nerd. She’s timid, avoids conflict, and is more concerned with her studies then training to be a fighter
Wiz: Though she has worked to become more willing to fight if need to be and be more assertive. And if her friends ever need her, Sailor Mercury will be there to wash away the forces of chaos.
Sailor Mercury: "Agent of Love and Exams, the pretty suited sailor soldier, Sailor Mercury! Douse yourself in water, and repent!"

Wiz: As a shrine maiden at the Hikawa Shrine, Rei Hino was feared by everyone…
Boomstick: Reminds me of that time my Ex-Wifes witch cult got a little Too into my stash.
Wiz: Actually, that might not be too far off. This was because of her cold demenor, fiery temper, and her strange mystic sixth sense.
Boomstick: Really? That’s it? let me know when she shoves a porcupine in her bra and THEN talk to me about Fear Wiz
Wiz: Ummm, OK Then.... Anyway, Rei was internally lonely, her only friends being the young children who came to her family’s shrine.
Boomstick: So when the children of the neighborhood began to disappear, and Rei was blamed, she got herself tangled up a supernatural fight of Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury.
Wiz: It was there Rei found her first true taste of belonging. It was there she first transformed into the legendary Sailor Senshi of fire, Sailor Mars!
Clip of Sailor Mars transforming
Boomstick: Heh, talk about one hot nun.
Wiz: Rei naturally has a mystic sixth sense capable of sensing evil spirits and presence, malicious intents, spatial warping
Boomstick: She can even psychically sense dangers miles away! Sure, would be nice to have that power to know when my ex-wife is coming for alimony…which shes Never gonna get
Wiz: Why and I not Surprised? Anyway, as the Sailor Senshi of fire, Rei’s capacities were boosted to cosmic levels, capable of surviving planet-erasing abilities, and that’s just her base form. She has 3 forms like Sailor Mercury; Base, Super and Eternal. Also, Rei’s supernatural sensory abilities enhanced further to the point she can see snippets of the future in fire.
Boomstick: And naturally as a gothic fire angel, Sailor Mars she can conjure up all manner of powerful fire attacks.
Wiz: Her first attack was the “Akuryo Taisen” where she charges a mystic charm with fiery energy capable of incinerating an entire dimension. This attack is also capable of banishing evil spirits. She can perform the “Burning Mandala” summoning several fiery discs capable of vaporizing robots from hundreds of years in the future. To melt steel requires heats of 2500 degrees, yet this is vaporizing futuristic metals completely, requiring temperatures in excess of even that
Boomstick: She also has the Mars Snake Fire, which summons a deadly cobra..except instead of a poison, it’s bite injects them with fire. And lastly she has her ultimate attack, the Mars Flame Sniper which summons a bow of fire to shoot an arrow of fire capable of causing a dimension to be destroyed by…you guessed it…more fire. This girl loves fire as much as I love guns, and that’s saying something!
Wiz: Sailor Mars’s fire attacks are the strongest of the Senshi’s in terms of offense. Her Mars Snake Fire was capable of harming one of the Witches V the others couldn’t, and her Mars Flame Sniper can destroy a dimension like the ultimate attacks of the others even though it’s power is concentrated on a single point, showing that at the center it would carry even more power.
Boomstick: Yeah Mars is clearly packing the FIREpower of the team…despite Mars being colder then all the other planets of her team.
Wiz: Well Mars is cold on the outside. Her training as an archer and a shine priestess has taught her focus, accuracy as well as a mystic charm to clear her perceptions of illusions however this leads to her greatest weakness.
*Clip of Rei being tsundere to Usagi*
Boomstick: Rei is arrogant and has difficulty asking for help or showing any sign of weakness.
Wiz: Rei can also lose her cool due to her fiery anger. Rei can be in Usagi’s own words “a little scary”.
Boomstick: If this fiery miko is coming after you, there’s no place you can hide.
"Protected by Mars, the planet of fire, Guardian of War, Sailor Mars! In the name of Mars, I’ll chastise you!"

Boomstick: When you’re a Japanese schoolgirl larger then some adult Japanese men, you stick out a little around your peers.
Wiz: Makoto Kino was clearly separated by her fellow classmates due to her large size and titanic strength.
Boomstick: Not to mention her good heart meant whenever she saw a bully, she would beat him up too, and she was so good at it that even the people she saved would fear her.
Wiz: That said, Makoto wished people could see the real her, a girly romantic who wanted to find a nice boyfriend. That was until she found Usagi Tsukino, a innocent girl who understood her for who she really was.
Boomstick: Blech. Enough of this mushy stuff. So Makoto became the victim of a monster attack meant to exploit the lovesick and in a rage f-ing beat up the monster BEFORE SHE EVEN TRANSFORMED.
Wiz: Thus, awoke the legendary Sailor Senshi, Sailor Jupiter.
*Clip of Jupiter beating up the youma she fought and transforming*
Boomstick: As a Sailor Senshi Makoto still relies on her awesome physical strength and durability as well as her awesome martial arts (sidebar Makoto is a black belt in Judo). Ah that’s the magic I love to see…the magic of punches!
Wiz: Makoto’s strength is certainly impressive, able to destroy with her bare hands a robot from the future and a ghost….somehow.
Boomstick: And that’s only getting started. Makoto is the tank of the Sailor Senshi. Despite being deathly sick to the point of fainting, Makoto was able to survive a robotic assault in her civilian state that was threatening the other senshi transformed! And then she tore through that with her bare hands as well!
Wiz: Oh but we’re only getting started. When the Evil Queen Nehelenia was threatening Sailor Moon, Sailor Jupiter PUNCHED her face from another DIMENSION breaking it and sending her running
Boomstick: And Nehelenia was so strong that a weaker form of hers was only winded after an attack from 7 Sailor Senshi!
Wiz: Makoto boosts her physical prowess with attacks based on electricity…and……flowers?
Boomstick: …I don’t see the connection Wiz.
Wiz: It has to do with the Japanese connections to the planet Jupiter and…
Boomstick: And suddenly bored. Back to the shooting lightning bolts out of her face. Sailor Jupiter can call down a massive lightning bolt with Jupiter Thunderbolt then redirect it with her …weird…little antenna thingee…
Wiz: She often combines this with another of her abilities called “Flower Hurricane” which creates a wind and a shower of flower petals to temporarily blind and distract the enemy.
Boomstick: With her “Sparkling Wide Pressure” she creates a ball of lightning in her hands and tosses it her enemies like she’s pitching a baseball that not even the big leagues would want to risk hitting. She can create an even bigger ball lightning as well as intense winds with her “Jupiter Coconut Cyclone”. And no….I also don’t know where the coconut is in that attack.
Wiz: Her final attack is her “Jupiter Oak Evolution” which summons a crown of laurels on her forehead and sends omnidirectional bursts of electricity capable of wiping out a dimension. This attack was even able to throw Eternal Sailor Moon herself! Makoto is also more attuned to storm elements. She can read omens in the wind, sense electrical flow, and is implied to cause small electrical charges.
Boomstick: That said, for all her kick*ssery, Makoto isn’t perfect. She’s somewhat naïve and easily manipulated, as well as can be rather rash and impulsive, more prone to listening to her emotions then thinking things through.
Wiz: Much like some people around here…
Boomstick: ((Legit not sure what to write her….some snappy retort probably)
Wiz: Her emotional nature is likely why she continually tries to help others, even against her best interest. Still by the same token if someone messes with her friends…
Boomstick: She’ll punch them into next week!
"Protected by Jupiter, the planet of thunder, Guardian of Protection, Sailor Jupiter! I'll make you feel so much regret, it'll leave you numb!"

Boomstick: Loud mouthed, rude, prone to beating up boys Minako Aino….honestly reminds me a little of Mama Boomstick right now.
Wiz: Outside of her physical disposition and high energy, Minako was hardly anyone’s first pick for a Sailor Senshi. That said her cat Artemis found that she was secretly the legendary Sailor Senshi Sailor V and told her her destiny as a chosen sailor senshi
 Boomstick: That was the day until the talking cat Artemis found her and appointed her Sailor …V.
Wiz: Yes, Minako actually became as a Sailor Senshi 6 months before the other Sailor Senshi, and spent the time masquerading as the Moon Princess to draw attention away from the ACTUAL moon princess Usagi Tsukino. Minako became obsessive in her defense of this princess she had never met as she realized her mortal life had been a temporary disguise. Eventually she met up with the other Senshi and the Moon Princess. After forming a friendship with Usagi, Minako began to revert to her old happy go lucky self from Usagi’s loving presence.
Boomstick: So, let me get this straight. All the Sailor Senshi are named after planets. And the mysterious “Sailor V” was supposedly the Moon Princess and not “Sailor Moon”.
Wiz: ….yes
Boomstick: Well that aside being a Sailor for 6 more months then the others made Sailor Venus the leader of the Senshi and gave Minako a host of other abilities. Various versions of the her signature energy beam the Crescent Beam…
Wiz: Disspelling Illusions, a boomerang, electrically amped up sound waves, a smoke that replicates the atmosphere of Venus, a powered up mosquito repellent…
Boomstick: As well as an enhanced kick and karate chop capable of creating explosions!
Wiz:  She also gained her tricky disguise power, which lets her disguise herself as anyone, even real, historical or fictional people.
Boomstick: She also gained a number of other powers after joining the team. First and foremost, she gained the power to summon the holy sword of the moon, a sword that is tougher then DIAMONDS and is corrosive to any matter it touches! Damn!
Wiz: She also has the rolling heart vibration where she fires a heart shaped projectile out of her palms as well as her most iconic weapon the Venus Love-Me Chain, a versatile chain that can be used for offense, defense, purification, grappling etc.
Boomstick: She can enhance her Love-Me Chain further with “Venus Wink Chain Sword” which summons a sword of light to attack with it or with her “Love and Beauty Shock” which sounds like something out of a really weird brothel but really supercharges her whip with light energy.
Wiz: The Love and Beauty Shock could stalemate an attack from Eternal Sailor Moon. By the time she was Eternal Sailor Venus, Minako was powerful enough to mock an attack of Eternal Sailor Moon that one-shot Queen Nehelenia calling it like dancing through a breeze.
*Undecided Clip*
Wiz: While Minako does poorly in school, this is more so because of her lazy carefree attitude, and she is actually quite smart and tactical, staying agile and mobile in combat.
Boomstick: Of course it’s easier to be agile when you’re fast enough to casually fly to Venus in minutes!
Wiz: Before transforming for the first time, Minako traveled from Earth to Venus in seemingly under minutes. Even lowballing this feat by using the closest distance between these two planets, 38 million kilometers, this would likely be faster then light! That said, for all her quickness and experience, Minako has some rather notable weaknesses.
Boomstick: Minako’s carefree casual attitude can make her lazy and undisciplined.
Wiz: She gets bad grades in school due to how much she shirks her work. She rarely takes much seriously outside of her job of defending the princess.
Boomstick: But if someone does threaten her princess, they’ll feel the wrath of the leader of the Guardian Senshi!
"Protected by Venus, the planet of beauty, Guardian of Love, Sailor Venus! Allow me to punish you with the power of love!"

Alright the combatants are set….It’s time for a DEATH BATTLE!!!

So I don’t know who DB are gonna think would win. I am gonna present the general arguments here for each in brief.

Ami:
+Smartest
+Visor can keep track of the others at any time
+Mist can obscure vision which Rei and Minako only have semi-counters for and Makoto has none
+Technically speaking water and ice can put out Rei’s fires and can cause Makoto’s lightning to go off target

Rei:
+Most powerful attacks
+Sixth Sense can sense any incoming danger
+Most accurate attacks
+Longest Range of the Senshi in general

Makoto:
+Most Durable
+Strongest and most skilled fighter in general
+Most omnidirectional attacks
+Can hit the others in other dimensions

Minako:
+Easily the most versatile powers
+Has the most hax abilities
+Most Agile
+Most Pragmatic and most experience
+Weakness is least likely to apply here as she is most likely to take the others with seriousness
+Second Best in strength, durability, attack power, intuition, fighting skill and intelligence

I think Minako pretty clearly wins just due to her being insanely more versatile then the others. Ami, Rei and Makoto all have advantages in certain areas, but Minako is second best in all those areas plus has her own specialties.

  1. Combine this with the very first fight you wrote and you've almost got this episode made. C'mon Death Battle, make it happen! Don't worry if you don't have perfect mimicry of the hosts down; I read this blog in their voices and a lot of it fit pretty well I'd say. I liked the lyre and porcupine jokes best :)

    I'm always amazed at how crazy strong and tough Makoto is even outside of Senshi forms. But you know I'd be rooting for my girl Rei the whole time! Even if Minako would very likely win. That girl is just too good! It's very rare I see jacks (jills) of all trades pull ahead of all the specialists around them; so many games and such reward what some people call "minmaxing" rather than evenly spreading your capabilities around. Perhaps it's different for Minako here because in addition to being "second best" at almost everything, she still has some key points where she is #1 and if you put that all together, you've got quite the threat. Oh well, she's my second favorite Senshi anyway, so it's still kind of a win for me :P

    Thanks for the blog!
