Weāve gone full circle again!!!!!!Ā I LOVE PGSMāS STORYTELLING SO MUCH!
Minako had lost motivation and grew ātiredā because she met Usagi in person, but now she has renewed her motivation and felt rejuvenated because she got to KNOW Usagi as a person!Ā Knowing the whole story, itās also highly significant and important that just from taking action, at this moment, Minako had arrived to the conclusion that Usagi is someone worth fighting for.Ā
On a very different note... FAN THEORY TIME!
okay, I know many people have given PGSM flak for the plot hole of this Sailor V transformation scene, because we saw the V costume in Minakoās suitcase earlier in Act 11.Ā Honestly I was critical of this too. But now, I have A THEORY. A theory that might close the hole.
First of all, Sailor V wasnāt Minakoās true transformation; itās different to Sailor Venus and thus the power/magic doesnāt source from the Sailor Jewelry Bracelet.Ā In fact, in Act Zero, Artemis had actually used Minakoās Teletia S to snap Minako into the Sailor V appearance.Ā As weāve learnt since Act 2, the Teletia S can manifest and snap the girls into any costume or outfit from just a click of a button, but for it to happen, it NEEDS TO HAVE SOMETHING TO GO OFF OF -Ā A SOURCE. Itās like copy and paste from an Excel spreadsheet.Ā If the cell is empty when you copy, there is nothing you can paste from.Ā SO. Because Sailor V costume wasnāt purely manifested from magic, there needs to be the source, and that source is the costume Minako kept in her suitcase.Ā As long as theĀ āoriginalā, the source exists, Minako can transform into it whenever she wants to.Ā But if the original, the source is destroyed/not with her, she will just lose the Sailor V persona completely.Ā
