That Minako screen cap reminded me… does that mean Minako doesn’t *transform* into Sailor V? It’s literally just a costume she puts on like Tuxedo Mask, and she just HAS powers?

I was wondering about this too!

That looks pretty nonmagical to me. I’m suspending judgement until later to give the screenwriters a chance to explain it, but I guess I was operating under the assumption that she magically transforms into Venus and then puts on the mask and the wrong colors. No word on WHY she would do that. It’s not like this attracts any less attention than the jaunty orange. 

Unless, she for some reason has not awakened as Venus yet and she literally just dresses up to go out at night and high-kick Tuxedo Mask in the face. I would be fine with that.

I love that Zoisite didn’t even bother to brainwash Luna, he just disposed of her with a potato sack and a spool of twine and left her to watch the effects of the poor executive decision she’s made.

Even if Minako wrote “I AM SAILOR V” instead of her autograph, Usagi would probably just say “You spelled your name wrong, silly”

“Look! It even says ‘NOT A TRAP’ in bold and underlined!“

Luna please. If I had an ounce of patience for every gumball in that machine it still wouldn’t be enough.
