YKYWTMJSMW

Starfox's YKYWTMSMW was an inspiration to this page, except that this is based on the Japanese Sailor Moon.
If you are part of the NA SM audience and only know about the Sailor "Scouts", this might not make much
sense to you, and may be confusing spoilers to faithful dub viewers.The original, CORRECT, Japanese terms and
facts will be used instead of the DiC dub or the fandub terms. On with da show!
Many original episode pix used with permission of Toto. And now that I can't find him anywhere on the net,
new screenshots are taken from various places on the net, including Annland's Screenshot Gallery.
