USAGI IS DEAD I AND II by DARK DAY FOR ANIME A LIST OF USAGIS, LIVING, DEAD AND OTHERWISE ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tsukino Usagi Nuff said. Killed by the Senshi, who were manipulated. Brought back to life by Setsuna, but re-killed by a crazed Ami, who was being taken over by the conciousness of her former life, the machiavellian and psychopathic Miste Kiele. Finds herself in a limbo world and visits the various deaths of the senshi. Is picked up by the Anima-Mates, where they enter a town run by a lady gangster named Madame Scorpia. Scorpia recognises her and wants her for political purposes (obviously still thinking this is the Silver Millenium). She escapes the efforts of Mistral LeFevre (Rubeus in disguise) as he makes a desperate grab for power in Madame Scorpia's empire, aided by the Anima-Mates and the Starlights. Is manipulated by Galaxia and Millenia (Naiad) to become one with the Youma, which she succeeds in doing, only to die again because of her misjudgement. Her spirit wanders the worlds of the dead, eventually landing on one where she can gain the power to become a physical entity once more, and she becomes the Eternal City. She spawns the body of Usako, carrying the spirit of Serenity, then fuses with Usako to become "whole" again, as the future princess of Crystal Tokyo. She now travels the lands as "Usako the Healer". ---o The Youma Tsukino Usagi Evil, manic, violent, immoral (at first, at the very least). A shattered fragment of Usagi's spirit, given life by the power of the Ginzuishou. She is then given a Youma body by Jadeite, under the illicit commands of Naiad. She goes home, is picked up by the police, and loses control of her Youma personality, killing everyone within the Boruto station. She then goes in hunt for the senshi, but before she can, is blown forward in time where she rescues a future Hotaru from death. She is then brought back to the fortress set up by Hotaru's father, and begins something of a relationship with him. Her state of mind degenerates during this period, and upon the rediscovery of Usako, decides to return to 1997/8 Tokyo, where she takes on Venus, Mars, Jadeite and Jupiter, winning every battle. She comes face to face with Usashin, Tuxedo Kamen and Chibiusa, losing the Ginzuishou when Tuxedo Kamen rips it from her. The loss of power causes her to lose the energy to fight when she is attacked by the otaku Usagi, Daigouji Usagai. Struggling to get the Ginzuishou back, she is thwarted when the original Usagi transports Tuxedo Kamen to the Homeworld. Angry, she rampages, attacking Usako, Usashin, Hotaru and Aosagi, killing the ninja Usagi clone. However, when she attempts to use what little power she has left, it ends up becoming part of the unification process between Usako and the Eternal City, and she is obliterated in the blast of the Cataclysm that ensues. Her spirit then fuses with Usagi's, and her anger influences Usagi to kill Tuxedo Kamen and Galaxia. But Galaxia cannot be killed, and destroys the Ginzuishou before things can go any further. Without the crystal, Usagi fades into nothingness, and the Youma's spirit dissipates. When she revives from the darkness, she finds herself within The Hotel.... A mysterious establishment that appears to operate on her worst fears. Now devoid of the insanity that came with her Youma persona, she escapes the clutches of The Hotel and travels through the Worlds of the Dead in an attempt to stop the senshi from killing the original Usagi in the first place, aided by a mysterious power that originates from the world of Wyccfaer. ----o Tsukino Usako The first Usagi clone to appear. Was the Usagi that Hotaru meant to kill at the Usagi extermination agency. Guided Minako to the Usagi Production Plant when Minako was going to have her showdown with the Usagi ninjas. Was blown into the past with Usashin and Aosagi, where they witnessed the death of the original Usagi. She was caught wandering the streets by the police and arrested at a time when they were hunting the original Usagi for the destruction of the Boruto branch. Was rescued by Usashin, Aosagi, Akunatsuka and PalaPala. Returned to the Mizuno home where it is intimated there is more to her than merely "another Usagi". Was able to contact the Destroyer telepathically, but failed to convince it not to attack Tokyo. She turned out to be the carrier of the spirit of Serenity, and finally manages to complete the cycle of her life by fusing with the Eternal City, and Usagi's spirit. The fusing causes the devastating Cataclysm, thanks to the meddling of the Youma, Galaxia and Millenia (Naiad). Becoming the true Tsukino Usagi/Serenity, she was transported five years into the future where she wanders the lands as Usako the Healer. There is an intimation that she is having a relationship with Hotaru's father.... ----o Tsukino Usashin (The Hitokiri Battoumoon) A clone of Usagi, taking after Himura Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin. Has dedicated her life to the defence of the weak with her immense samurai powers. Is capable of emitting energy attacks through her sword. Can sway the minds of any large crowd through her noble speeches. First appears during the showdown between the ninja Usagis and Minako, saving Minako's life. Was blown back in time to witness the murder of Usagi. Meets up with Akunatsuka and PalaPala after rescuing Usako from the police (and the Resonator). Used her energy slash powers to kill the Destroyer that Usako was trying to contact. Was travelling with Jupiter in their pursuit of Usako and Aosagi, but is knocked unconcious when the Youma Usagi attacks. She recovers too late to save Jupiter (who survives anyway, due to her power of bodily regeneration.... Well, she is the senshi of the solar system's LARGEST planet). Usashin catches up with Usako and Aosagi, and helps defend Usako against the Youma with Hotaru. She becomes part of the "eye of the storm" when the mixture of their powers and those of the Youma are turned into the devastating force known as the Cataclysm, and is transported through that power five years into the future, where she meets up with her lover, another Usagi clone called Kamiya Kaorusagi. Together, they fight for justice across the badlands of the future, becoming wanted criminals by corrupt officials. Eventually, they rescue the reincarnations of Naiad and Hecate, Umi and Setsuna, and with the aid of Hotaru, attempt to defend them from the grasp of the hideous Rubeus. They are killed in this task and pass on to the worlds of the dead, where Usashin becomes suspicious of events going on there, and attempts to warn Hotaru of the return of the Youma Usagi. She realises that things are being controlled by a mysterious force, called the "Evil from Beyond", on the planet Wyccfaer, and both she and Kaorusagi fight to protect innocent spirits from its power. ----o The 4P Super/Eternal Sailormoon (Serena) An Usagi clone. Was only just released by the Usagi Production Plant, when she is taken over by the "essence" of Chibiusa. The Eternal City felt it needed an avatar between its world and ours, not realising that Usako would make a better avatar. Eventually, Chibiusa is released from the body and the clone gets her mind back, only JUST surving the Cataclysm. She adopts the name "Serena", and travels the lands, learning to become a survivalist. She arrives at Crystal Towers, and sets up the framework for the future Crystal Tokyo military.... ----o Shinomori Aosagi An Usagi clone, based on Shinomori Aoshi from Rurouni Kenshin. The leader of the Usagi ninjas that took on Minako in the Usagi Production Plant, after kidnapping Hotaru as bait, she was blown back into the past where she witnessed the murder of Usagi. She helps Usashin rescue Usako, and reluctantly agrees to fight alongside her, despite the fact that this also means she has to fight alongside non-Usagis, whom she despises. She was given the duty of protecting Usako and Akunatsuka, but Usako disappeared after the attack by the Destroyer on Setsuna's home. She pursued Usako across the city, and finally reached her at the point where the Eternal City was trying to make contact with this world. She sacrificed her life to protect Usako from the Youma Usagi when she realised that the contact between Usako and the Eternal City would bring their existence full circle, unifying Serenity with Usagi once more. Aosagi then awakens upon the planet Wyccfaer, and sets up a secret society designed to fight the organised crime groups, based in the capital city Shy. ----o Katsuragi Misagi An Usagi clone, based on Katsuragi Misato from Evangelion. A black-haired Usagi who wore a blond wig when applying for the job of Chief Executive in Charge of Operations at the Usagi Production Plant. In truth, Misagi is a slob and a heavy drinker, and despised the job. But she, like many Usagi clones, is in love with Mamoru. When things start to look hopeless, however, her personality goes into a tailspin and she becomes a drunken cynic. Placed in charge of the emotionally damaged Jadeite and Rei, she barely bats an eyelid at their resultant deaths and decides to preserve herself from the Cataclysm. She survives the Cataclysm and discovers the 4P Clone (Serena) in the remains of Tokyo. She is helping some of the mad-scientist Usagi clones in setting up a mecha squadron within Crystal Towers, Crystal Tokyo to be.... ----o Shiranui Maisagi An Usagi clone, based on Shiranui Mai from Fatal Fury (aka Garou Densetsu)... Mai is the first "Queen of Bounce" in fighting games, due to her ample cleavage, and Maisagi is no different. Taller and more fully built (^_^) than most, Maisagi was blown from the other dimension without realising what was happening. She rounds up a group of Usagis and steals a bus to find someone who can help them. They discover the badly wounded Minako, with VesVes, on the road, and it is Maisagi who decides to help them. After travelling some distance, and dispensing with a roadblock set up by inept political extremists, they run into a large group of cadavers controlled by the Resonator. VesVes leaves the bus so they can escape, but the Resonator continues to go after Venus. Maisagi, when the bus finally runs out of fuel, uses her fighting skills and magic to fend off the cadavers, and only just manage to get Minako to the roof of a building, where they meet the Resonator, now inside of VesVes. She is knocked unconcious by the creature's attack, and just survives the blast as Minako sacrifices both Ves's and her own life to stop the Resonator. She meets up with Unagi, and the remaining trio (including Sae) step into the future, where they bump into the Ayakashi sisters, with Hotaru, Umi and Setsuna, and become part of the fight for the young girls. Maisagi is currently living in Crystal Towers. ----o Lina Tsukiverse An Usagi clone, based on Lina Inverse from Slayers. Lina was born to be a sorceress and is capable of using high-intensity fire spells. Lina is one of those in the group rounded up by Maisagi. She manages to clear the bus and the extremists for Maisagi, and uses her magic against the cadavers when the Usagis are trying to escape on foot. She is grabbed by the cadavers and lets a fireball go in shock, which kills her and empties the street of the cadavers, but not for long. She revives on the planet Wyccfaer, as a wandering bandit- killer. ----o Unagi the Serpent An Usagi clone, based on Naga the Serpent from Slayers. Unagi (the Japanese word for eel, btw) was created at about the same time as Lina, and the pair used to be travelling companions through the Eternal City, using their powers to defeat evil wherever they saw fit (whatever that means). Unagi is tall, has black hair and wears very little clothing. She has norks that arrive three days before she does. She is, in short, a match for Maisagi. Her powers are strongly water based and she has a laugh that is so incredibly evil, it can level entire nations. She was abandoned by Lina for this reason and has been hunting for her ever since. She falls into Tokyo along with Ushayla during the dimensional breach, and refuses an offer by Professor Tomoe for shelter from what he says is to be an apocalyptic event. She is determined to find Lina. She spots a fight on on top of one of the buildings and flies up to investigate, seeing the Resonator attacking the fleeing Minako and Co. She uses her laugh on the Resonator and almost succeeds in bringing it down. She escapes the blast caused by the deaths of Minako and VesVes by flying away. She is told by Maisagi that Lina is dead, which gives her momentary grief (but she is too stupid to believe, anyway), and travels to the future with Maisagi. She is still searching for Lina. She might even find her! With her powers, she might even find her. ^_^ ----o Tsukino Sae An Usagi clone. Based on Sawanoguchi Sae from Mahou Tsukai Tai. Sae is a witch Usagi, with strong but eccentric magical powers. She is one of those rounded up by Maisagi and helps rescue Minako. She uses her powers to seal the door to the stairs on the roof of the building so the cadavers can't get through. When they are attacked by the Resonator, she tries to use her powers but is too slow and gets knocked down. She escapes the explosion caused by the deaths of Minako and VesVes by using her broom, with Maisagi riding pillion. She travels to the future with Maisagi and Unagi, and survives the attack by Rubeus and his men. She is currently in Crystal Towers, a student of Arachne in the use of magical powers. ----o Moriya Usagika An Usagi clone. Based on Moriya Ririka from Nurse Angel Ririka SOS. One of the group rounded up by Maisagi, she attempts to use the Nurse Angel healing powers to heal Minako, but finds Minako's wound being held back by the magic of the Youma. She helps Minako escape the attack of the cadavers. On the roof of the building, when she tries to use her healing powers on the Resonator, her spell becomes a vast ball of flame, which swallows her up and kills her. She revives on Wyccfaer, and becomes a wandering healer within the small farming communities that dot the vast planet. ----o Tsukino Meimi An Usagi clone. Based on Haneoka Meimi from Kaitou Saint Tail. She is a professional thief and magician, so she doesn't have any real powers, which is why she appears helpless for much of the time. She tries to aid Usagika in their fight against the Resonator by surrounding the beast in a mist to hide Usagika's attack. However, when that attack goes wrong, she is swallowed up in the resultant flame and is killed. She revives on the planet Wyccfaer, and joins with Aosagi in her secret society against the organised crime group, controlled by the "Evil from Beyond". ----o Ushayla Ushayla An Usagi clone. Based on Shayla-Shayla from El Hazard. She is one of three "Priestess" Usagis, and actually has the power of fire. She landed in Tokyo with Unagi, but unlike her, accepted a lift from Professor Tomoe, who has been collecting Usagis from all over town. She tells the Professor what his daughter did to create the breach, and is with him when he discovers the lost cats. She is currently studying magic with Arachne, rejoining her lost "priestess" friends, Afuragi Mann and Miz Tsukishtal. ----o Kamiya Kaorusagi An Usagi clone who survives the Cataclysm and the Usagi purges. Based on Kamiya Kaoru from Rurouni Kenshin. She meets and strikes up a close (^_^) relationship with Usashin, but dies with her love whilst trying to protect the young Umi and Setsuna. She then finds herself travelling the worlds of the dead with Usashin, helping her defend the souls of the weak from the tyranny of the Evil From Beyond.... ----o Mokosagi (The Kawaii Senshi Sailor PuPuPu) A small, white bunny thing, with little tufts of golden hair done up in odangos. Based on Mokona from Magic Knight Rayearth. Is discovered by Umi after the attack on the medical centre is defeated by the mysterious Sailor PuPuPu.... Unbeknownst to Umi, Usako and the others, Mokosagi is Sailor PuPuPu, and the bunny-thing chooses to join Umi and Usako on their travels through the tunnels of the dead in case the powers of the Kawaii Senshi Sailor PuPuPu are required. ^_^ ----o Daigouji Usagai An otaku Usagi clone, based on Daigouji Gai (Yamada Jiro) from Nadesico. Has a love of mechas (including her beloved "Gekiganger") and uses the mecha to smash the Youma Usagi into a little pulp, on Usashin's beckoning. She then scatters when the Youma revives. Usagai survived the Cataclysm, and is working with Misagi to set up Crystal Tokyo's first mecha squadron. ^_^ ----o Sasahara Natsagi A cat-girl Usagi clone, based on Sasahara Natsuki from Hyper Police. Natsagi is a member of the local police company when Makoto and Hotaru attempt to fight off a group of anti-Usagi extremist thugs from attacking the hospital in which Usako is staying. She helps Makoto aside after she receives a beating from the thugs, and allows Sailor PuPuPu to finish the job.... She accidentally travels with the group to Wyccfaer, where she and CereCere join Aosagi's secret force. -------------------------------------------------------------------- DDFA ayanami@merlin.net.au Chief Propoganda Officer, Keeper of the Tapes and co-founder of the Sai-chan Fan Club Adelaide Japanese Animation Society Updates R Us ^_^ 30th Apr 1998
