| So, you've decided to give up your hopeless loyalty to the north american dubs and get to know the real sailor moon. Not the edited version, the Original anime and manga. Just takes practice, but it's well worth it. This page exists to help people make the switch. Characters-A guide to the main characters, the sailor senshi. Planet Original Name NA dub name Moon Usagi Tsukino Serena Tsukino Mercury Ami Mizuno Amy Anderson Mars Rei Hino Raye Hino Jupiter Makoto Kino Lita Kino Venus Minako Aino Mina Aino Chibimoon Usagi Tsukino (often called Chibiusa) Rini -Sailor Mini moon Saturn Hotaru Tomoe Hotaru Tomoe Uranus Haruka Tenoh Amara Tenoh Neptune Michiru Kaioh Michelle Kaioh Pluto Setsuna Meioh Trista Mayo (That's a joke, they totally pronounce Meioh wrong in the dub.) Now, there are some variations of Uranus', neptune's and pluto's last names. They all sound the same as their counterparts, but in romanji they all have somewhat different spellings. Some of them are Tenou, Ten'ou, Kaiou, Kai'ou, Meiou, Mei'ou, etc. Villains (for the villains, I will have the villains original name, a - then the changes and the dub made.) Sailor moon - The dark kingdom (dub-negaverse) Mettalia-Mettalia was originally the sleeping empress that the dark kingdom was trying to ressurect. In the dub she was demoted to an oracle/the negaforce. (note! The negaforce does NOT exist!) Beryl-No change Jedite-No change Nephrite-Changed to nephlyte Zoicite-Was changed into a woman for the NA dub Kunzite-Changed to Malachite Sailor Moon R (returns)-The Majiuka (dub-The doom tree) Ann-Anne in the dub Ail-Alan in the dub Sailor moon R (Romance) - The Black moon family (negamoon family in the dub) The death phantom-was changed to the doom phantom for the dub Wiseman-Not changed Prince Demando-Prince Diamond in the dub Saffiru-Sapphire in the dub Esmurade-Emerald in the dub Black lady-Wicked lady in the dub, was changed so there was no racial reference Rubeus-not changed Akayashi sisters-changed to negamoon sisters (in the dub, their ages were changed, Dic made Coonan the oldest, then Petz, then Karabaras, then Beruche, when actually the order goes as follows). Petz-changed to Prizma Karabearas-changed to Avery Coonan-Changed to Catzi Beruche-Changed to Bertie. (NOT berdie or Birdy, BERTIE) Sailor Moon S (Super) - The Deathbusters (dub: Heart snatchers) Cloveryway did the dubbing for S and SuperS, the edits were far fewer (compare the number of changed names in the DIC dubs and the ones below), however the dubs were still painful to watch if you have any knowledge of the original. Professor Tomoe-Dr. Tomoe Mistress 9-Not changed Kaolinite-Changed to Kaorinite Eudial-Not changed Mimete- Not Changed Tellu-Changed to Telulu Viluy-Byruit Cyprine-not changed Ptilol-Pronounciation changed to Piterol Daimon-changed to Diamond pods/heart snatchers (Daimon is what Socrates called your inner spirit) Sailor moon SuperS - The Dead Moon Circus (Dub: Dark moon circus) Queen Neherina- Changed to Nehelenia Zirconia-Changed from female to male Zircon- Not changed CereCere-changed to Cele Cele JunJun- Changed to June June VesVes-Changed to Vesu Vesu PallaPalla-Changed to Para Para Tigers Eye-Not changed Fish eye-Changed from a male to a female (yes, fisheye is a gay transvestite) Hawks eye-Not changed Amazoness Quartet-Changed to Amazon Quartet Stars hasn't been dubbd yet and there is no news of it ever being done, go there is no point in really going through it, but I will clear up some issues anyway. Now, Galaxia's group of villains is officially called "Shadow Galactica", which shouldn't be confused with Galaxia herself. Also, Often times people get the occasional name mixed up, Sailor Tin Nyanko, for example, is sometimes called Sailor Tin cat or Sailor Tin kitty. Well, stop, because her name IS Sailor Tin Nyanko. Also, priness kakyuu herself is often called "Priness Fireball". Don't do this. Kakyuu means "Fragrant olive flower" and in no way is related to fire or heat. In the manga she is Sailor kakyuu, still not associated with fire or heat in any way. There is the occasional bit of confusion over the starlight's names. Sometimes people mistake the japanese name order and think that "Kou" is the first name of Seiya, Taiki and Yaten. While on earth, they all use "Kou" as their last name. If you ever see The name "Kou Seiya" on an information page anywhere know that in japan, the family name comes first and that Seiya is the first name. |
