Roses ("バラ" in Japanese) are a common symbol in Sailor Moon and feature prominently in much Sailor Moon art.
Contents
Tuxedo Mask
Tuxedo Mask's trademark weapon in the anime was a red rose, which was strong enough to pierce any surface it was thrown into. He used it to distract enemies from attacking Sailor Moon or the other Senshi, giving him time to give a reassuring speech or the Senshi a chance to steady themselves and attack. In episode 101 he surrounded a Daimon with roses which appeared to generate an energy field that injured his target.
It was not usually used to directly attack enemies, but he earned Zoisite's wrath when the rose cut his cheek once in battle. The roses were incorporated into his transformation, and he seemed to have a limitless supply of them.
These roses were not present in the manga; however, in the Dream arc, a black rose appeared in Mamoru's chest when he was suffering due to the Dead Moon Circus' attacks on Elysion and planet Earth.
Moonlight Knight
The Moonlight Knight threw pure white equivalents to Tuxedo Mask's red roses.
Prince Endymion
During the time he was brainwashed by Queen Beryl, Tuxedo Mask's roses switched to black, representing the evil within him. In episodes where the Sailor Senshi attempted to restore Tuxedo Mask, the roses (even after being thrown) would turn red and back to black again to show how much progress they were making.
Sailor Jupiter/Makoto Kino
In both Senshi and civilian forms, Makoto wore dusty red rose earrings. In the live-action series, her waist ornaments also featured a pink rose within a transparent sphere. In episode 171 of the anime, the sight of these earrings helped snap Usagi Tsukino out of her nightmare during Queen Nehellenia's revenge.
Sailor Venus
In the manga, Sailor Venus received an upgrade to her Chain called the Love Whip. The large chain links were changed from hearts to roses.
Three Lights
Kou Seiya, Kou Yaten, and Kou Taiki were frequently seen holding roses. Each rose was the color representative of the character's corresponding color in the Shinto concept of "san hikari" (三光; meaning "three lights").
Dark Mercury
In the live-action series, Dark Mercury's appearance was often marked by black rose petals.
Mio Kuroki
In the live-action series, Mio's magical aspect was sometimes implied through the use of a flurry of black rose petals.
Monsters-of-the-day
There were two monsters created from roses: the Daimon U-Baulla and the Lemures TogeToge Jou.
Trivia
- In Sailor Moon Sailor Stars, episode 194, Sailor Moon was fighting with Sailor Tin Nyanko when a red rose hit Tin Nyanko. Tuxedo Mask's theme music played and Sailor Moon became hopeful, but it was actually Seiya who threw the rose.
