Title: The Ambitions of Pandora and Channel 44
pg 62:
Poster: The singer of the century! Pandora. Channel 44.
TV Premier tonight. On the new satellite music network.
Channel 44 - new office in the commercial district.
Kid: Pandora? Who's she? She's really cute!
Kid: She's singing tonight on channel 44?
Kid: New office?
Kid: I want a poster!
Mina: She's so pretty!
Mina: After all, there are plenty...
Mina(2):I'm going to take one!
pg 63:
Artemis: Minako!
Artemis(2): If you don't become more serious, you'll never bring
peace to the world.
Mina: You idiot! Shut-up!
Boy 1: A talking cat?
Boy 2: You're imagining things.
Mina: Come on, they're just posters! And be more discreet about
talking...
Mina(2): ...we can't let that get out!
Mina (narrating): It's a secret but...
Mina (narrating): Artemis is a funny kind of cat.
Mina (narrating): He speaks like a human...
pg 64:
Mina (narrating): My name is Minako Aino and I'm in year 6. Since this
cat has been with me...
Mina (narrating): ... lots of things have happened.
Artemis:Wow! Pandora is giving a 24-hour concert non-stop on
channel 44!
Amano (Googly-eyed glasses boy): Hi Minako!
Mina: Look out!
Mina: Oh no! My poster fell in the ditch! Oh no!
pg 65:
Amano: I was just looking for you...
Mina: Amano!!
Amano(2):Hurry up, we're going to be late!
Mina (narrating): He's a nerd and he's in love with me.
[Note: In the French edition, Mina actually uses the Japanese
word 'otaku' to describe Amano!]
Mina: See what you've done, stupid!
Voice: Minako!
Mina (narrating): She's my friend, Hikaru.
Hikaru: What are you doing? Hurry up! Night class has already started!
Mina (narrating): I can really count on her.
Teacher: Once again?
Sign: Night Classes
Teacher: Miss Aino! What kind of rag are you dragging around with you?
Mina: Uh... it's just... uh...
Mina(2): A poster that I got in the street, Sir.
Teacher: In the street?!
pg 66:
Teacher:You're late because you dawdled along the way! Your punishment
is 50 English questions! By yourself!!
Mina: Whaaat?!
Mina: Wah! Why always me?!
Book: "English"
Mina: Heh heh... with this pen I can do any problem... English,
even math!
Artemis:You're not supposed to use that pen except for protecting
the world!
pg 67:
Teacher:Protecting the world?!
Mina: Hah hah, nothing, Sir, nothing...
Mina: Yes, it's really a very precious pen. It wouldn't be good
to have it confiscated!
Mina: When I... uh... aquired... Artemis...
Mina(2):He gave me this pen...
Mina: ...and a mirror in the shape of a crescent moon that reflects
my true face.
Mina: A truly mysterious mirror...
pg 68:
Teacher:Okay, that's all for today.
Mina: Already?
Hikaru: Minako!
Mina: What?
Hikaru: Channel 44 starts broadcasting tonight, are you going to watch?
Mina: Sure. See, I have the poster.
Boy 1: Pandora? She's the one you can only see on channel 44? I've
never seen such a cute singer!
Boy 2: Yeah, she'll become a celebrity fast.
pg 69:
Boy 1: Listen to this: boys who go to cheer at the studio can get her
autographed CD!
Boy 2: In any case, I'm going!
Boy 3: Me too!
Mina: What?! Only the boys! What about the girls?!
Hikaru: Channel 44 is on satellite, eh? Luckily, our TV's hooked up
to get it!
Mina: What?!
Mina: No way!
Mina(2):We don't have a dish or decoder!
Mina(3):I won't be able to see it!!
pg 70:
Amano: That's too bad for you! Channel 44 broadcasts on the new
"CS" satellite and you can't get it with the old "BS" type
antenna...
Mina: What?!
Amano: Actually, I'm more interested in computers than pop idols.
Amano(2):I'd really like a new modem.
Friend: But haven't you heard? Channel 44 is having a grand
opening launch campaign.
Friend(2): They're distributing antennas to every house so everyone
can receive it.
Mina: Quick Dad! It's going to start!
Dad: 2 minutes, it's not that easy!
Dad: I hooked the antenna to the decoder but these connections
are complicated...
pg 71:
Dad: Argh... this isn't working...
Mina: What? You're no use Papa!
Mom: Minako!
Mom: TV, TV, always TV! Don't you think of anything else?
Mom(2): If you don't work harder, you won't turn out any
better than your father!
Mina: Snif... All I can do is ask Hikaru to tell me about it...
pg 72:
Mina: Say, Mom, don't forget to call the TV repairman, okay?
Mom: Sure, sure...
Mom: Channel 44... "boys who go to cheer at the studio can get her
autographed CD"!
Mom(2): Why only the boys?
Mom(3): It might be a nice band for women too, I'm going to watch...
Amano: Minako!
Mina: Yeah...
Mina(2):What happened today?
Mina(3):Are they all sick today or what?
Amano: I'm the only guy who came!
pg 73:
Mina: But,,,
Mina(2):Everyone seems strange.
Mina: Oh, here's the teacher!
Teacher:I can't watch TV because I have to give this class...
Mina: TV? The teach is acting strange too...
Mina: There...
Mina(2):Hikaru?!
Mina: What have you been doing? Say something!
Hikaru: Don't work, don't study...
Mina: What happened to you?
pg 74:
Hikaru: Let me go, Minako!
Hikaru(2): I'm fed up with school! I'm going to watch TV!
Mina: TV?!
Mina(2):She's saying the same thing as the teacher?!
Mina: Hikaru?!
Mina: It's bizarre... it's so quiet here!
Mina(2):Nobody's around!
Mina: Mom?!
Mina(2):Mom? Are you here?
pg 75:
Mina: Ah!
Mina: That hurts
Mina(2):Mom, turn down the TV please!
Mina(3):What...
Mina(4):They're broadcasting ultrasounds!
Mina: Mom!!
Mom: Shut up! Shove off!
Mina: Ow!
pg 76:
Mom: Ha ha ha
Mina: Mom?!
Mina(2):What's with her? What is she watching?
Mina: I don't see anything but snow... what does it mean?
Artemis:Minako!
Artemis:It's the signal from the boss! It's a state of emergency!
Mina: Yes? It's Minako, I'm listening...
pg 77:
Boss: Minako, it's an emergency! The whole city, no... the whole
country is being brainwashed!
Mina: Brainwashed?!
Boss: The Pandora character is just a cover. It's an incarnation of
evil, come to conquer the world!
Boss: This time, it's serious! You have to destroy Pandora and stop
the ultrasonic broadcasts from Channel 44!
Mina: Got it!
pg 78:
Artemis:To Channel 44!
Amano: Minako! Wait for me!
Mina: Amano?!
Mina: Of course, he only plays video games, he never watches TV
so he wasn't affected!
Mina: If he follows me, he'll be in my way...
Amano: Ah, not so fast!
Sign: Channel 44
pg 79:
Gaurd: Out of the question! It's the middle of a broadcast, no one
can enter!
Gaurd(2):It's not possible!
Artemis:Darn, we can't get in!
Poster: The singer of the century! Pandora. Channel 44. On TV tonight.
On the new satellite music chain. Channel 44.
Mina: Okay!
Mina: Crescent Moon Power! Transform me...
Mina: ...into a policewoman!
pg 80:
Mina (disguised): Hi! I'm doing my round.
Guard: Please, go ahead.
Mina: Ha ha! That worked perfectly!
Mina(2):Okay, she's gotta be in her dressing room or in the studio.
Guard: While she's doing her round, I can go watch TV...
Amano: Minako!
Mina: Pandora isn't here. Look, Artemis!
Mina(2):All the mirrors in this dressing room have been removed.
Amano: Where's Minako? In here, maybe?
pg 81:
Pandora (singing): La la la, Don't study! Don't work! You don't
have to anymore! I am the most beautiful and you will listen
only to me! Become my slaves!
Pandora:OK, time for a break.
Pandora:I will conquer the country.
Pandora:I'm so cute...
Pandora(2): ...me, Pandora.
pg 82:
Amano: Ahhh!
Pandora:You've seen me, eh?
Amano: N... Noo! Minako!!
Amano(2):Argh... Gulp...
Pandora:You've seen my real face!
Amano: Help me!
pg 83:
Amano: Minako!!
Mina: Someone's calling me?!
Mina(2):That voice?! It's...
Mina: ... Amano!
Mina: Crescent boomerang!
Mina: Pandora!
Mina(2):Let him go!
Pandora:Who's there?!
pg 84:
Mina (still in policewoman disguise):
"Don't study! Don't Work!" And what next?! Your brainwashing
is unforgiveable, Pandora!
Pandora:Who are you?
Mina: Moon Power! Transform me!
pg 85:
Mina: I'm called...
Mina(2):...Sailor V!
Mina(3):I'm a Sailor Soldier! I fight for justice!
Mina(4):I'm Sailor Venus! Prepare yourself!
Pandora:Ah! My ultrasound waves don't work on her!
Pandora:A Soldier? A Sailor?
Pandora(2):Are you joking or what?!
pg 86:
Pandora:Slaves! Sieze her!
Mina: What should I do? I have to stop these waves, but I can't
just kill everyone!
[fighting sounds]
pg 87:
Mina: Aaah! Artemis! These guys are like zombies!
Mina: They just keep coming!
pg 88:
Mina: At this rate, I'll be worn out before I ever reach Pandora!
Artemis(thinking):
"All the mirrors in this dressing room have been removed."
Artemis:Minako! Your mirror!
Artemis:Make it reflect Pandora's face!
pg 89:
Pandora:Ah! My real face!
Pandora(2):This isn't possible!
Pandora:I'm the beauty Pandora! The most beautiful girl of the century!
Pandora(2):I've gathered so many boys in order to conquer the world!
Mina: Moon...
Mina: ... Ray!
pg 90:
Mina: Hyaa!
Mina: Pew! What a smell!
Mina(2):Is it that slime that's all that's left of Pandora that smells
so bad?
pg 91:
Artemis:She's gone.
Artemis(2):It's finished.
Boys: Wuh! Where is this?
Boys: What are we doing here?
Mina: Good, they're themselves again.
Mina: But... if that's the case...
pg 92:
Mina: Amano! Amano! Wake up!
Amano: Huh? What? Minako, is that you?
Voice: Hurry up, we're late!
Teacher:Late again!!
Teacher(2):Your punishment is 50 math questions!
Mina: What?!
Amano: Oh no!
Mina: Heh heh heh... I have my magic pen!
Artemis:No you don't! For once, you've really got to work at it!
Mina: Wah!
pg 93:
[Postscript - Message from Naoko]
For me, the first "Sailor V" is a great memory!
In drawing the story of Pandora (a big thank-you to Urako Hiura who
helped me a lot!), I had a lot of trouble with Venus's costume.
I said to myself that I'd never revise it ever again! There's been
questions about making a regular series [of Sailor V] but I already
have "Sailor Moon" being published in Nakayoshi and also it's become
a TV series. All this going on at the same time!
Pandora's style is a little old. Sorry, but I came up
with it in July of '91.
[Above the pictures of different Sailor V costume designs]
Evolution of the Venus costume over the course of the publication in
"Lun-Lun" [the magazine where Sailor V was first published].
The drawings changed, sorry...
This is the definitive version.
[Bottom of the page]
Life is sure full of surprises!
Sailor V will continue on! (At least, I hope...)
--End of Chapter 3--
