Minako's Life in the AnimeAs Sailor V:Aino Minako was Sailor V long before the other Sailor Scouts ever existed. She lived in England and fought the Dark Agency, a lower Dark Kingdom with help from her guardian cat, Artemis, and Boss. She was quite popular over there with the guys and as a super heroine, and had many comics and other merchandise with her name and face. She eventually made a firend, Katarian, who worked for Interpol there and they teams against the Dark Agency. In her last battle, she made everyone think she died in a warehouse explosion, so Katarian and Alan could be happy together. She moved to Japan, and around the time of Sailor V's "death", Sailor Moon and the other Senshi began appearing. Sailor V saved the other four Sailor Senshi from Malachite and Zoicite in Episode 29-"Sailor V Makes the Scene" of the American DiC dub (Episode 33 Japanese). Then, she took off her mask, and became known as Sailor Venus. She and her guardian cat, Artemis, then joined the rest of the Sailor Senshi. In the manga, Minako was told by Boss and Artemis to go to Japan because of the Negaverse after she defeated the Dark Agency. She left there and went to Japan, leading into her apperance in BSSM. In episode 42, the DiC cut out, she explained more about Katarina and Alan, and her "death" before arriving in Japan. Both of which tend to contrdict themselves.
As Sailor Venus: After learning a new attack when Minako had to save some kindergartners from a Cardian during the Alien Saga, Minako helped Serena and the others take care of Reene. The Senshi defended and saved the present and the future from the Doom Phantom with a combined attack, along with 2 Silver Imperium Crystals from Sailor Moon and Reene. Next came the HeartSnatchers/Death Busters... The HeartSnatchers were after those with pure hearts, so they could find the 3 Talismans and awaken Mistress Nine to cause the Eternal Silence to engulf the world. The Heart Snatchers had attacked all the Senshi, except Minako at one point. She became depressed and did anything she could to show them she had a pure heart- she gave blood numerous times (in the same day!), and helped wherever she could. When the Heart Snatchers did attack her, she was weak from giving so much blood in one day(important lesson there folks!), the other Senshi saved her. After fighting off the Witches 5 with the other Senshi, and Sailors Neptune, Pluto and Uranus, they found the source of the Heart Snatchers and attempted to storm their fortress before Mistress Nine was awakened. To help Sailor Moon, Venus and the others used their Sailor powers to create a box around the enemy fortess, to keep the Daimons and evil inside while the Outers, Sailor Moon and Chibi-Moon finally won and saved the world.
