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.
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 :)
ReplyDeleteI'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!
