Sailor Moon is one of those anime that will never go out of style. Whether it’s the original ’90s version or the updated and more focused Crystal, the series is a prime example of shoujo anime and perhaps the best in the magical girl genre.
Fans of the show are still very active on the internet, particularly on social media. Indeed, Twitter has become the ideal place for fans to express their love for Sailor Moon. These hilarious tweets are the perfect proof that the series is as popular as ever, with its fans refusing to give it up.
It’s All About The Merch
Sailor Moon is hardly the only series that makes most of its pretty penny thanks to merchandise. Indeed, the show lends itself to producing numerous items inspired by Sailor Moon’s most recognizable weapons. From her numerous scepters to her trademark tiaras, millions of boys and girls have probably bought the series’ merch over the years.
For those who need some convincing, Usagi is here to deal with that! Or at least that’s what this meme, posted by Twitter user @YapapaMirage, implies. The scene from the meme is actually sad for Usagi, but the power of memes turned it into a comedic moment.
Are They…?
Television has given fans plenty of shows with great sapphic storylines, and Sailor Moon is one of the earliest. True, Haruka and Michiru’s romance is never outright declared, but there are more than enough hints for even the most cynic to understand.
Twitter user @peaceboneee posted this scene from the show to remind everyone how much Sailor Moon loved to reference Haruka and Michiru’s relationship. Indeed, Sailor Moon never shied away from dealing with its characters’ love lives, and the relationship between Haruka and Michiru was among its most iconic. Usagi and Chibiusa’s faces are the icing on top of the cake.
How Do You Even Dare?
Sailor Moon is one of the all-time best shoujo fantasy anime, thanks to many factors. Its intriguing premise, compelling cast of characters, and animation style play a large role in its success, but its music is also one of its most celebrated aspects.
The transformation scenes in the show are particularly famous with the fans, thanks to their vibrant animation and the catchy themes that accompany and enhance them. The tweet by the ever-reliable @dailysailormoon account is a cheeky way to celebrate the transformation scenes. They happen every episode, but real fans know attention must be paid!
Sailor Moon Vs. Goku
Goku and Sailor Moon are two of the most beloved and popular figures in anime. They are arguably the biggest representatives of shonen and shoujo anime and widely celebrated icons in Japanese culture. There is no need to pit them against each other, but fans will be fans, and the internet likes to imagine who would win in a fight between them.
Surprisingly, the consensus is that Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts would kick Goku’s butt. Many fans, including Twitter user @TheAnimeTrainer, believe so and use different memes and images to offer their take on the hypothetical match. This tweet pokes fun at Goku’s loss, confirming that not even the Saiyans are a match for the Sailor Scouts.
It’s The Same Thing!
Sailor Moon Crystal is a more faithful and focused adaptation of the manga than the original ’90s show. It stays true to the pacing and stories of the manga, unlike its predecessor, which introduced numerous side storylines and filler episodes and deviated significantly in some storylines.
Some purist fans still think the manga is better, while others firmly believe Crystal is as faithful as can be. Twitter user @t_unmasked posted this funny tweet, including a meme about how Crystal is “the manga animated,” and they have a point. It’s okay to still prefer the manga, but Crystal is a concise and straightforward take.
Classic Usagi
Usagi Tsukino is one of the most relatable characters ever. Immature and boy-crazy, she’s a typical 14-year-old who initially harbors a crush on Andrew Foreman, an older boy who works at the arcade. Thus, she acts extra childlike whenever she’s with him. Her interactions with him are both wholesome and slightly cringe, making them super hilarious.
One of these interactions is particularly memorable, and Twitter user @tokidokisundae captured it for posterity. Usagi may be silly, but she shows remarkable wit and flirting game coming up with this response. Even Andrew seems impressed by her boldness. Who would’ve known she had it in her?
What Is It That You Do?
Tuxedo Mask is one of Sailor Moon’s closest allies and main love interest. He arrives near the end of every battle and throws a rose to distract the enemy, thus allowing Sailor Moon to take advantage of the confusion and do her thing. Tuxedo Mask is invaluable as moral support, but his actual contribution in battle is minimal, and fans love to mock him for it.
Twitter user @SailorMoonSub does just that, using this funny and ironic meme to make fun of poor Mamoru. In all fairness, Tuxedo Mask’s shtick always works. However, he is undoubtedly less impressive than the more hands-on Sailor Scouts.
Did You Say, Sailor Moon?
Fans of Sailor Moon love talking about it every chance they get. It’s a surprisingly relatable show, so bringing it up in casual conversation is easier than some might think. It’s also considerably popular worldwide, and many people are aware of it, even if they’re not loyal fans.
This funny tweet by user @pirefly_ illustrates the feeling of hearing about Sailor Moon out of the blue. Using one of the show’s earliest and most memorable villains, the tweet is the perfect way to represent what it’s like for fans to unexpectedly hear about something they love.
Bi*ch, Please
Sailor Moon is full of brave characters who are always willing to risk everything to protect others. Sailor Moon is a crybaby, but she is courageous and always willing to sacrifice herself for the good of those she loves. Sure, she gets scared and often cries about minor inconveniences, but she steps up when it really matters.
In her Sailor Moon persona, Usagi is among her universe’s most powerful beings. Despite seeming unassuming and somewhat weak, she always finishes the battle with her unique abilities. This hilarious tweet by user @SailorGigi shows how funny it is when overconfident villains face Sailor Moon. She doesn’t even have to do much to resist them. Her powers are so big she only has to stand there!
I’m Batman Moon
The Batman was one of the best films of 2022, successfully introducing a new version of Batman while updating the character for a new audience without losing his essence. The film was a commercial and critical success, and a sequel will arrive eventually.
At first glance, it might seem like there’s nothing in common between Sailor Moon and The Batman, and there really isn’t. However, Twitter user @sailorbee found a way to bridge the two projects with a funny set of images that finds a hilarious comparison between the two, and the resemblance is uncanny.
