Sailor Moon in Spain refers to the adapation of the Sailor Moon series in Spain.
Anime
The Sailor Moon anime was dubbed into Spanish by Vulpi-Yuri (first season, Sailor Moon R, and Sailor Moon S), Tecnisón (Sailor Moon SuperS), and Arait Multimedia (Sailor Moon Sailor Stars). The dubbing was directed by Arturo Lopez (Vulpi-Yuri), Ana Arbona (Tecnison), and Ángel Sacristán (Arait Multimedia), who was the dub actor for Mamoru and Artemis in the fifth season.
All five seasons were dubbed, as were the Sailor Moon R movie and the special "Make up! Sailor Senshi." The latter was included on the VHS release of the Sailor Moon R movie, although there was no mention on the cover of its existence. All of the episodes were aired without major changes. The other two movies and the remaining specials were never dubbed.
The first season was first aired on Spanish local station Antena 3 in 1993, at 9:00 am, and it was aired twice. Sailor Moon R was dubbed and aired a year later. When the last episode of Sailor Moon R was aired, with the preview of the third season, fans expected to see the new episodes the next day, but the show stopped. A year later, without trailers or publicity announcing it, the third season was aired, again in Antena 3, but at 7:00 am, an unpopular time slot. Some seasons were also aired again, in different time slots.
In the next few years, the dub studio Vulpi-Yuri ceased to exist, so the Spanish audience had to wait until 2000 to see any new episodes, although the R movie was released on VHS between the airing of the R and S seasons. Then Sailor Moon SuperS was dubbed by Tecnison and aired twice on the Antena 3 television station in the 7:00 am time slot.
In 2002, Arait Multimedia bought the rights to Sailor Moon, and dubbed the fifth season. Sailor Moon Sailor Stars was aired on Canal Sur 2 Andalucía, a channel from the Andalusia region (Arait Multimedia, Tecnison, and Vulpi-Yuri were based in Madrid). It was aired at 2:30 pm, a more favorable time slot.
Music
In the Spanish version of Sailor Moon, the first four or five episodes were aired with "Moonlight Densetsu," but later episodes were aired just with the instrumental version of the song. Some people from certain regions of Spain claim that they heard the episodes with a Spanish version of "Moonlight Densetsu," but nothing official was ever said about it. During the R season, the video changed to match the original, but the audio was still without vocals.
The third and fourth seasons kept the original opening, this time with the original Japanese theme song, but sometimes during Sailor Moon Super S the opening from the third season was used instead. When Sailor Moon Sailor Stars was aired, it used the new song, "Sailor Star Song," but again only the instrumental version. Later, when Fox Kids aired the series, it featured a Spanish-dubbed version of "Moonlight Densetsu."
The ending sequences were usually aired with the original Japanese songs, but in episode 200, even though the original used "Moonlight Densetsu" as ending, the video was the usual ending of the fifth season. The rest of the songs were kept intact and in Japanese.
Names
Even though the show was still called "Sailor Moon," in the Spanish dub, the Senshi were called "Guerreros" (male warriors), though they were always referred to in feminine form. For example, they would say "Ella es la Guerrero Marte" (She is the Warrior Mars), even though "la" is a female article and "Guerrero" a masculine word. This is grammatically incorrect in Spanish, but no official explanation for this was given. The word "Guerrero" was followed by the name of the planet in Spanish, like "Guerrero Luna" (Sailor Moon), "Guerrero Mercurio" (Sailor Mercury) or "Guerrero Plutón" (Sailor Pluto).
Tuxedo Mask was translated as "El Señor del Antifaz." In Spanish, Lord, Sir, and Mister can be translated as "Señor," so it could be translated as "The Lord/Sir with the Mask," but it would be correct to translate as "Masked Sir/Lord."
Like many of the foreign-language adaptations, Usagi's name was "Bunny." In Spanish, the word would have been "conejo," but as that has some sexual connotations, the English word was used instead. The Senshi's civilian names were mixed between the original and new Spanish names. Amy sounded like the English name, and "Rai" was just invented. Chibiusa's name was kept, even though it did not have any connection with "Bunny." Haruka was given the male name "Timmy" because it has a feminine form in Spanish (Timotea), but the diminutive "Timmy" is never used on females. Vicky, Michiru's Spanish name, is a diminutive form of "Victoria." The cats kept their original names; Luna is the Spanish word for the moon, Artemis' name is pronounced the same in Spanish, and Diana is a common Spanish name.
The Sailor Starlights' names were kept as well, but their order was changed; for example, "Seiya" was interpreted as the first name and "Kou" as the surname. The literal translation of their group's name would have been "Guerreros Luces Estelares/de Estrellas," but they were instead called the "Guerreros Starlights," keeping the English name.

The names of Usagi's family were unchanged. Naru Osaka was renamed "Cari" (diminutive of Caridad, "charity"), and almost all secondary characters were given Spanish names which are uncommon or old-sounding. Umino was called "Camilo." Motoki was "Mauricio," and Yuuichirou was "Fernando." Chibiusa's friends' names were kept the same as the original. The Dark Kingdom was called "El Reino de la Oscuridad," or "The Kingdom of Darkness." Queen Beryl, Zoisite, and Kunzite kept their names, but Jadeite was changed to "Daniel," and Nephrite was "Ramiro." Youma were called "Devilsters."
Ail and An were called "Alex" and "Annie" respectively, and their surname was never given. The Makaiju was called "El Árbol de la Maldad," or "The Tree of Evil," and the Cardians were called "Cartas," the Spanish word for cards.
The Black Moon Clan was dubbed as "La Familia de la Luna Negra" (Family from the Black Moon). The Ayakashi Sisters were renamed "Las Cuatro Hermanas de la Maldad" (The Four Sister of Evil) and were given the names of the actual minerals from which the original names were derived, so they were Kermesite, Berthierite, Calaverite, and Petzite. Rubeus kept his name, but the other members of the Black Moon Clan were given the Spanish-translated versions of their namesake gems; Esmeraude became "Esmeralda," Saphir became "Zafiro," and Prince Dimande became "Diamante." Black Lady was referred to as "La Dama Negra" (a literal translation). Wiseman's name was translated literally to "Hombre Sabio" (Wise Man). Droids were called "Droidos".
The names of most of the villains in Sailor Moon S were changed. The Death Busters were called "La Sociedad de Brujas Impías" (The Impious Witches Society); this began as the name for the Witches 5, but was later used to refer to the entire group as well. Sometimes the Witches 5 were also called the "Brujas 5," a literal translation. Their origin was "Nebulosa Tau," an exact translation too. Kaolinite was called "Yuka." The Witches 5 were called Eugenia (Eudial), Mimet (Mimete), Marta (Tellu) and her Martitas (Telluns; literally "little Martas"), Beatriz (Viluy), Ciprin (Cyprine), and Petirol (Ptilol). The Daimons were called "Dimones." Professor Tomoe was referred to as "Doctor" or "Professor Tomoe," and was never given a first name.
In the Sailor Moon SuperS season, most of the main villains' names were kept. The only differences were the names of the Amazon Trio, which were translated into Spanish: Ojo de Alcón (Hawk's Eye), Ojo de Tigre (Tiger's Eye), and Ojo de Pez (Fisheye). Lemures were called "Remones," a word which has no meaning in Spanish.
Sailor Galaxia was called "Guerrero Galaxia," because "galaxia" is the Spanish word for galaxy. Ginga TV was dubbed "Televisión Galaxia," an exact translation. The Sailor Animamates were called "Guerreros Anima Maters," but they changed some of their Senshi's names. Sailor Iron Mouse was called "Guerrero Iron Mouse," keeping the English part. Sailor Aluminum Seiren was dubbed as "Guerrero Sirena de Aluminio." Sailor Lead Crow was called "Guerrero Garra de Cuervo" (Warrior Crow's Claw), and Sailor Tin Nyanko changed to "Guerrero Chica Miau" ("Warrior Girl Meow"). The Phage were called "Marionetas" (Puppets).
Censorship and Changes
Censorship was almost nonexistent in the Spanish dub. Zoisite and Fisheye were both men, with voice actors who tried to sound feminine, so there was no intent to hide their sexuality. The Holy Grail was translated literally as "Sagrado Grial," as were the Messiahs. Almost all of the attack names were changed, but it appeared to be simply for translation purposes.
The Senshi deaths, the nude scenes, Haruka and Michiru's relationship, and Zoisite and Fisheye's genders and sexuality all remained unchanged. The Sailor Starlights still changed gender when they transformed, and when they were in male form, they were dubbed by the same voice actresses, who just attempted to sound more masculine.
Phrases
In the original, Mamoru called Usagi "odango atama," a reference to her hairstyle. In the Spanish dub, Mamoru, Haruka, and Seiya called her "cabeza de chorlito," which translates approximately as "scatterbrain" or "airhead." Instead of teasing her about her hair, they were actually being rude to her. Armando called Bunny by name instead of a pet name, and she called him by name too.
Sailor Moon's trademark "I will punish you" speech was translated almost literally. She said, "Soy la Guerrero que lucha por el amor y la justicia, Guerrero Luna! Y en el nombre de Luna, te castigaré!" (I am the warrior who fights for love and justice, Warrior Moon! And in the name of the Moon, I will punish you!)
When a Monster-of-the-day was healed or vanished, even though in the original he/she said something different in each season, he/she always said the same in Spanish dub, "Desaparezco!", which can be translated as "I'm disappearing!"

Manga
The Sailor Moon manga was completely published in Spain by Glénat, the same company that published it in France, and was translated from the French version. The attacks and transformations had up to three different translations in the same volume, some with the Spanish anime structure (¡Planeta Mercurio, dame el Poder!), and others with a completely different structure (¡Poder del Cristal de Saturno, Transformación!).
Names
Even though the manga was released long after the anime first season, there was not necessarily a correlation between the two. The manga continued to use "Guerrero" instead of "Marinero" (Sailor) most of the time, but sometimes used terms from the original that were not present in the anime, such as "Sailor V" or "Sailor Cosmos." The names of the main characters and villains were changed as well, and sometimes the same character had different names (even within the same volume). Sailor Chibi Moon was called "Pequeña Guerrero Luna" (Small Warrior Moon), and "Super Pequeña Guerrero Luna" (Super Small Warrior Moon); the latter, in Spanish, means that she is a very small warrior, rather than a "super warrior."
The Civilian names were kept the same of the Anime version, except some exceptions. Usagi was always called Bunny, but in some promotional pages inside the manga volumes, she was called Usagi. Michiru and Setsuna's surnames were "Kaiou" and "Meiou", but Haruka's was misspelled to "Teio". When Sailor Pluto appeared as a civilian for first time, she was called Severine, like the French version, but later it changed to Raquel, her name in the Spanish anime version. Hotaru's name underwent the same changes. She started as "Hotaru", then changed to "Olivia" during the Infinity Arc, and finally adopted the anime name, Andrea, during the Dream Act.
The Starlights kept their original names, being called "Sailor Star Lights" as a group, and individually "Sailor Star Fighter," "Sailor Star Healer," and "Sailor Star Maker." Sailor Kakyuu kept her name as well, but the planet Kinmoku was changed to planet "Kanel" for unknown reasons.

Trivia
- Vulpi-Yuri, the first recording studio which dubbed Sailor Moon, is an unusual studio because its only known dub jobs were the first three seasons of Sailor Moon, after which it disappeared. The second studio, Tecnison, kept almost all the voice actress from Vulpi-Yuri for the fourth season, but the actresses for the Outer Senshi were not hired even for secondary characters, and they hired new actors for the Amazon Trio and Amazoness Quartet. When Arait Multimedia dubbed the fifth season, they hired an almost entirely new cast, with the only exception being Pepa Agudo (Sailor Mars), because the others were unavailable, working exclusively with other studios, or retired.
- Pepa Agudo was the only Spanish dub actress to stay in all seasons, as she was a freelance dub actress who had always worked in the three recording studios where Sailor Moon was dubbed. She played most of the secondary characters and female villains, like Naru Osaka, Kaolinite, and Esmeraude. She did not provide the voice for any other Senshi until the fifth season, where she played Sailor Saturn, Sailor Chibi Chibi, Sailor Lead Crow, and Sailor Chibi Moon (for her brief appearance in episode 198 only).
- Ángel Sacristán played all of the male roles in the dub of the fifth season. As the only male main characters in that season were Artemis and Mamoru, it was not that obvious, but secondary characters had easily recognizable voices.
- There are four official languages in Spain. Spanish/Castillian is the official language for the whole country, but some regions have official secondary languages: Catalan/Valencian, Basque, and Galician. The Sailor Moon anime has been dubbed in Catalan and Galician, by different studios and dub actors, with different translations (for example, in the Catalan version, they kept the original Japanese names).
