Why Sailor Jupiter is my Favorite Sailor Scout...
Okay folks, coming from a 30 year old male (who happens to be an anime fan) most people would probably think I am, at best, nuts for writing this or, at worst, a wannabe cradle robber! Let me emphasize that I am just a guy who likes anime and enjoys the Sailor Moon stories.
To quote Tom Baker as Dr. Who:
"What's the point of being an adult, if you can't act childish sometimes?"
With that said, let me tell you why I find Lita's character so appealing:
1. She reminds me of a couple of my old girlfriends Okay, this may sound a bit lame, but it is quite true nonetheless. One of my old girlfriends was about 6' 2" tall (I am 5'10") and was into martial arts and cooking. Plus, she was fiercely loyal and a bit of a flirt. Another old girlfriend of mine was also tall, an aerobic instructor and had long wavy brown hair. Sound like Lita to you?
2. We have several hobbies in common. I also am a big sports fan, I enjoy lifting weights and cooking--especially for my family and good friends. My wife says I'm a gourmet, but I personally don't think so! Plus, I love videogames too!
3. In some ways, she reminds me of Peppermint Patty from Peanuts Okay--look at the freckles, the green outfit, the mousy brown hair, the love of sports and fighting, the agressive pursuit of men she likes (Andrew, Game Machine Joe, etc.)--just like Peppermint Patty is, and the way she pursues Charlie Brown. Why, all you'd have to do is stick Melvin next to her and have him call her "Sir!" and there you have it!
4. She is more loyal to Sailor Moon than the other Sailor Scouts This is something of great significance. I always remember the episode with the second shadow warrior--the Priest who had the yellow rainbow crystal that turned into the Vulture boxer. Amy was bullied by Raye into not supporting Serena as leader of the Scouts. Lita boomed in "I disagree. Serena's got guts--she just doesn't know it sometimes!" Then later on, when Serena summoned help, only Lita came to her aid. The two of them as a team defeated Vultureman and rescued Molly, Melvin and the Priest.
5. Strong hearted, women are attractive I think that statement pretty much explains itself!
Well, that's it for my commentary on why I like Sailor Jupiter so much! If you get a chance check out this site:
