I KNOW. I accept the translation correction, but jesus wept, it just makes everything that much worse to me. I mean fuck, Rei awakened as Sailor Mars on one page, and was LITERALLY ALREADY KILLING JADEITE before the end of the next. The first thing she does is summon Phobos and Deimos, and the next thing she does is roast a dude alive. SHE DOESN’T EVEN NEED PHOBOS AND DEIMOS TO DO IT I ASSUME SHE JUST INVITED THEM OVER TO WATCH.

Then fast-forward a thousand years, and we have Death Phantom/Wiseman who (assuming correct translation) DESTROYED THE ENTIRE CITY, killing gods only know how many people, and Neo-Queen Serenity’s just “oh I don’t know, I don’t want to think about it, let’s just send him somewhere else”. I mean you’d think maybe the Senshi might’ve been “Yeah, sure, leave it to us” and then fucking killed the guy anyway. NQS clearly had no intention of thinking about him the second she sent him away, so how would she know?

WHICH BY THE WAY HOW INTERESTING A STORY WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN DEATH PHANTOM RETURNING FOR REVENGE AND NQS LIKE “WTF WE BANISHED YOU” AND THE GIRLS LIKE “UHM YEAH ABOUT THAT”

This keeps making me think about how irritated I was by Episode 200, though, where Usagi’s just like “Oh I’m sure this’ll be fine, bye now!” NO IT DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY. As the only person with any power to make them stop fucking murdering – which can assume NQS must be, since the only account we get is centered around her feelings and actions – then it’s AT MINIMUM her responsibility to make sure they don’t do it again. If her conscience demanded she banish Wiseman, then her conscience should have fucking demanded she know where he was and what he was doing at all times. Instead, she called it job done and went for a beer.

That’s the part I’m really struggling with. It’s so unbelievable irresponsible, and I just KNOW there won’t be any repercussions from it.
