But then the question is, what would be the point of making this beside boosting the value of fake collectible. If this is real, then it’s amazing but if it’s fake – then someone was *really* bored during pandemic.

I’d like to believe there’s still chance to finalize Crystal, release the side stories and a place for Sailor V series but seeing what gives Toei money nowadays, how anime itself looks like and around what themes revolves, I doubt this gonna happen.

It is the same picture from the infinity artbook and she is holding an ofuda.

The style is definitely early 90s and the new characters match the early spec sheet we’ve seen before with smoking proto-Makoto. Not too hard to believe that the sheet was repurposed from a Sailor V concept doc.

Looks like the initial concept was Sailor V alone with a support cast. Those three look like they would have played a similar role to their eventual sucesssors: Hikaru being the brains, Mamoru being the brawn, and Miyabi having spiritual powers. Wild to see the colours so different. Minako’s hair changes to a bright gold compared to her civilian form.

Man, I’d watch the hell out of that show.

I wish they would.

Especially so since the Sailor Moon manga/anime presented Sailor V as a well known character within the story even before Minako joined the team. That half-assed episode they did in the first season with her and Katarina doesn’t cut it.

That being said, if these images are real, perhaps some of the characters would have been too close to characters from the main series. And I can’t see that being a plus.
