Profile

Rei's history is largely the same across the different versions of the story, but her personality varies wildly. In the manga she is portrayed as calm, serious, and practical. Her greatest dream is to remain exactly where she is, at the Hikawa Shrine, and become its head priestess. She distrusts most men and discourages her friends from developing romantic relationships. In the anime Rei is quite different—fiery, boy-crazy, and ambitious, longing to one day become a singer, model, and voice actress. She frequently engages in petty arguments with Usagi, who she sees as immature, and although she becomes calmer as the series progresses, remains somewhat more of a typical teenager than her manga counterpart. Anime Rei also tends to engage in long periods of sticking her tongue out at Usagi (who returns the favor), as a kind of running gag of their arguments.

Rei goes to a different school from the other girls, namely T*A Private Girls School, a Catholic institution run by nuns. She herself is a practitioner of Shinto, living and working at Hikawa Shrine with her maternal grandfather, its head priest. Her mother died when Rei was very young; her father is a high-class and famous politician who cares more about his job than about her (though in the live-action version he still tries to be involved in her life), and who only visits Rei on her birthday. She carries a certain amount of bitterness toward him, especially in the live-action series, in which the character of her grandfather does not exist.

Other characters frequently comment on Rei's beauty and elegance—in her first appearance, these traits even lead Luna to suspect that she could be the Princess they have been searching for.[5] However, her strange psychic talents have caused some to be afraid of her, and her distant nature makes her unreceptive to close friendship. Rei does treasure the friends she has, which consist entirely of the other Senshi, and although she sometimes adopts an aloof, big-sisterly attitude around them, this façade is frequently broken by her own enthusiasm, her genuine affection for all of them, and her sharp tongue.

Because of the lack of respectable males in her life, the manga and live-action Rei harbors a generally low opinion of all men. She considers them emotionally weak and untrustworthy and seems genuinely uninterested in romance. The one exception is in a manga side-story centering around her, Casablanca Memories, which tells of Rei's friendship with her father's young secretary, Kaidou. He had been kind to her for her entire life and, in the story, she fancies herself in love with him. She is shocked when he suddenly announces his engagement to another girl and his decision to become a politician, despite having once said that he didn't like what had happened to Rei's family as a result of her father's work. In the manga, this is the only potential romance in her life; in the live-action series, nothing of the sort is ever shown, as Rei is pointedly disinterested in boys.[6] In the anime, however, she dates Mamoru Chiba for a short while before he and Usagi become friends, and occasionally seems open to a relationship with Yūichirō, her grandfather's pupil. Mamoru Chiba , Darien in the English versions) is the primary male protagonist of the Sailor Moon metaseries. ... The following is a list of supporting characters from the Sailor Moon metaseries. ...


Late in the manga, members of the Dead Moon Circus harass Rei with a reflection of her young self, which mocks her for her friendships and her dream of being a priestess. The reflection tells her that the only way for her to be happy is to try her luck with numerous men until she ends up married to someone rich. Rei is able to defeat this illusion, and in the process gains her Sailor Crystal along with the memory that, long ago, she had in fact made a vow of chastity to Princess Serenity.[7] After this realization, she is never again shown having any doubts about her lack of interest in romance. This is never mentioned in the other series, although late in the anime she expresses an intention to remain single forever.[8] The Dead Moon Circus are the primary villains from the Sailormoon metaverses fourth season, SuperS (pronounced zu-paa-zu).

Much of Rei's life is influenced by her spirituality, particularly in the manga. Meditation is given as her strong point, and she enjoys fortune-telling as a hobby. The elegance of her character is further underscored by the contrast between her favorite subject, ancient writing, and her least favorite, modern society.[1] She also belongs to the Archery club at school,[9] which later provides the context for her most powerful weapon, the Mars Arrow. As for more general tastes, it is mentioned in the manga that Rei enjoys fugu, a type of blowfish which is both highly toxic and considered a delicacy in Japan. Other favorite things include pandas[10] and the colors red and black; dislikes include men as well as television and canned asparagus. Rei stands about 160 centimeters tall (5 ft 3 in),[11][12] and her blood type is AB.[1] For other uses, see Fugu (disambiguation). ...

Just as Rei is more fiery in the anime than in the manga, she is changed again in the dubbed series. Although shots of her actually slapping Usagi are removed, remarks about her childishness and unreliability are more frequent and often harsher. In episode 43 of the original, Sailor Mars is briefly entrusted with the Moon Stick, which she explains to the others as proof that she and Sailor Moon don't hate each other. In the dubbed equivalent, she says that Sailor Moon left it at her house by accident and that she took it because she would make a better leader.[13] Other episodes add dialogue in which "Raye" tells people off or is rude to them, where in the original she is only mildly frustrated.[14]


Though Rei and Usagi's arguments are a constant in the anime series, it is shown several times that Rei is in fact Usagi's closest friend among the Senshi. Rei is the last Senshi to die in the battle against the DD Girls in the first arc's finale, and when Sailor Galaxia kills all the Guardian Senshi, it is Sailor Mars to whom Sailor Moon immediately rushes towards.


In the live-action series, Rei's personality is based more on the manga than on the anime. She has a difficult time trusting people, even her fellow Senshi, and has a tendency to rely too much on herself.[15] She claims to hate karaoke (which the other girls love, especially Usagi),[16] but is later coerced by Minako into posing as an idol—exactly what her anime counterpart wishes. Under the name "Mars Reiko," she appears on three occasions: performing for hospitalized children, working alongside Minako, and staging a contest with Minako in order to stop her from quitting the idol business.[17] She has a complex relationship with Minako; though they often disagree and compete with each other, they also share great respect. Minako even sometimes lets her guard down around Rei, and eventually confides to her about what she feels is her destiny as a Senshi. Rei is told that she is to be the secondary leader of the Senshi (as in the manga), and alternately admires and resents Minako's teachings about what that means.[18] Minako Aino , or Mina in the English versions) is one of the central characters in the Sailor Moon metaseries. ...


The kanji of Rei's surname translate as "fire" ( hi?) and "field" ( no?). Her given name is in katakana (レイ rei?) and therefore difficult to translate. Possible meanings include "spirit" (?), "companion," "cool" (?), and "zero" (?), with the first being most commonly assumed. Because katakana is the alphabet usually used for foreign loanwords, it may also be intended as a Western name such as Ray. Regardless, the entire name is structured as a pun, as the syllable "no" indicates a possessive, so that her name can also be understood as "Rei of Fire." In an early DiC promotional tape that advertised Sailor Moon to television stations, Rei was called Dana.[19] Japanese writing Kanji Kana Hiragana Katakana Hentaigana Manyōgana Uses Furigana Okurigana Rōmaji   ) are the Chinese characters that are used in the modern Japanese logographic writing system along with hiragana (平仮名), katakana (片仮名), and the Arabic numerals. ...

Aspects and forms

As a character with different incarnations, special powers, transformations and a long lifetime virtually spanned between the Silver Millennium era and the 30th century, Rei gains multiple aspects and aliases as the series progresses. The Silver Millennium was golden-age of an ancient civilization in the famous series, Sailor Moon. ...

Rei's Senshi identity is Sailor Mars. She wears a uniform colored in red and purple, along with red high heels, and in the manga and live-action series has a small red jewel at the waist. She is given specific titles throughout the various series, including Soldier of War[20] and Soldier of Flame and Passion.[21] Her personality is no different from when she is a civilian, although certain powers are unavailable to her in that form.

In Japanese, the name for the planet Mars is Kasei (火星?), the first kanji meaning 'fire' and the second indicating a celestial object. Although the Roman planet-name is used, Sailor Mars' abilities are fire-based due to this aspect of Japanese mythology. Most are offensive attacks, although as a priestess, she also possesses a certain amount of psychic ability, and is able to do fire-readings, sense danger, and subdue evil spirits. In the manga, she is listed as the secondary leader of the Guardian Senshi, after Sailor Venus. This fact is especially significant in the live-action series.

As she grows stronger, Sailor Mars gains additional powers, and at key points her uniform changes to reflect this. The first change takes place in Act 36 of the manga, when she obtains the Mars Crystal and her outfit becomes similar to that of Super Sailor Moon. She is not given a new title. A similar event takes place in Episode 152 of the anime, and she is given the name Super Sailor Mars. A third, manga-only form appears in Act 42, also unnamed but analogous to Eternal Sailor Moon (sans wings).[22]


Princess Mars

During the Silver Millennium, Sailor Mars was also the Princess of her home planet. She was among those given the duty of protecting Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom. As Princess Mars, she dwelt in Phobos-Deimos Castle and wore a red gown—she appears in this form in the original manga, as well as in supplementary art.[23][24] Naoko Takeuchi once drew her in the arms of Jadeite.[25] In the manga, he expresses at least a physical attraction to her,[5], and in the stage musicals, it is stated that the two of them were in love at the time of the Moon Kingdom.[26] The Silver Millennium was golden-age of an ancient civilization in the famous series, Sailor Moon. ...

Rei is one of few Sailor Moon characters who is able to use special powers in her everyday civilian form. These are mainly the result of her role as a miko, which gives her heightened spirituality as well as certain resources. In addition to some psychic talent, including occasional unprompted premonitions,[27] Rei is able to do fire readings and to dispel evil spirits. She does this by performing an ancient Kuji-Goshin-Ho ritual from mikkyo (once widely used in Ninjutsu), which consists of chanting nine words of power (rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, sen) while making relevant hand signs. She then shouts "Akuryō Taisan!" (悪霊退散?), meaning "Evil spirits, begone!" and throws an ofuda scroll (or several).[28] Image File history File links Mars-05. ...

Rei must transform into a Sailor Senshi, however, before she can affect enemies in a substantial way. She makes this change by raising a special device (pen, bracelet, wand, or crystal) into the air and shouting a special phrase, originally "Mars Power, Make-up!"[29] As she becomes more powerful and obtains new transformation devices, this phrase changes to evoke Mars Star, Planet, or Crystal Power.[30][31] In the anime, Sailor Mars' transformation sequence evolves slightly over time, whether to update the background images or to accommodate changes to her uniform or new transformation items, but the animation remains essentially the same. They all involve rings of fire that circle her body as she spins, forming her outfit in a flash of light.


Sailor Mars has the power to manipulate flame.[32] Her named powers are somewhat inconsistent across the various series—she does not name one at all in the first arc of the manga. In the anime, she shoots a fireball from her index fingers and shouts the words Fire Soul,[33] and in the live-action series she shouts Youma Taisan (Monster, Begone). This basic power is improved to Fire Soul Bird in the second arc of the anime only; the manga also has an animal-based attack, Mars Snake Fire, but it does not appear until the third story arc. Her first attack to be the same across all versions is Burning Mandala, which incorporates Buddhist symbolism in the fiery circles Mars summons.[34] Flame generated by the burning of a candle. ...


Sailor Mars' final and most powerful power comes in the fourth story arc, when she takes on her second Senshi form (Super Sailor Mars in the anime). At this stage she acquires a special weapon, the Mars Arrow,[7] and with it Mars Flame Sniper,[35] which is her primary attack for the duration of the story. In the manga, the Mars Crystal and Mars Arrow are among her most significant magical possessions. The former is her Sailor Crystal and the source of all of her power, which becomes especially important in the fifth story arc. The latter is associated with her skill as an archer, and although she does not receive a physical bow, she recalls some advice given to her by Michiru Kaioh—"if you think you're being taken advantage of by the enemies, stretch a line taut in your soul."[36] In the live-action series, she is given a tambourine-like weapon, called the Sailor Star Tambo, by Artemis.
