Sailor Jupiter, the Senshi of Thunder! Sailor Jupiter reflects her planet's characteristics with her powers. It's true. Just look at these things I have found!
"In 1955 it was discovered that Jupiter is a source of radio waves. The origin of the emissions is uncertain, but it has been suggested that they are caused by electrical phenomena, such as tremendous thunderstorms, in the planet's atmosphere." (Encyclopedia International, 1969 edition, "Jupiter", page 81.)
Hm . . . . That certainly links Sailor Jupiter with her planet, does it not? Electrical phenomena, thunder, lightning, thunderstorms....
Now, a wee bit more about this strong Sailor:
Her name in her detransformed state of being is Kino Makoto or Makoto Kino . . . depending on whether you are using the Japanese or American form of her name. In Japan, your family name comes before your "first" name. Makoto's birthday is December 5th which makes her a Sagittarius. Her favorite gemstone is the lovely, but naturally cloudy emerald. Her favorite colors are sugar pink and green. Not very surprising, now is it?
One of her attacks in the manga involves roses. It is called Flower Hurricane. Hm . . . . Do I see a rose theme going on with her rose earrings, how she smells of roses as indicated by the manga, and the rose in the center of her hair ribbon when she is in Princess form? Yes . . . I think I do.
As for Oak Evolution . . . . Makoto's name has several different meanings, or so I've found to be the case. Her name means Wisdom of Wood, Strength of Wood, Truth of Wood, Sincerity of Wood, Wisdom of the Trees, Truth of Trees, and I believe the list goes on probably a wee bit more than that but I'm stopping here. We all understand that her name has *something* to do with trees and wood. Oak Evolution? It involves leaves . . . from an oak tree . . . . Case closed.
Sailor Jupiter is Princess of the planet Jupiter. Her castle is not on Jupiter, though. Rather, it is located on one of its 16 moons, Io, which is rather obvious since the name of her star castle is Io Castle. Io is unlike any other moon that has been discovered in our Solar System because of its erupting volcanoes. It is a place of sulfur, lava, and erm . . . it sounds like Hell! (>.<) It doesn't sound like somewhere a princess would want to reside, now does it? Well . . . we have to take into consideration that Io might not have always been like it is now. Who knows . . . maybe it was once a place filled with lovely growing things . . . say like . . . back during the Silver Millennium? Well, I can dream, can't I? ^_~
