Usagi Quest (CK3/Princess Maker) (Sailor Moon)

Reader mode
My best guess at the Senshi's magical affinities, assuming that each has three based on Makoto's total success in finding her elements:

  • Usagi: Light, Sound, Renewal
  • Ami: Knowledge, Ice, Illusion
  • Rei: Fire, Purification, Divination
  • Makoto: Lighting, Plants, Gravity
  • Minako: Light, Metal, Emotions
  • Saturn: Silence, ?, ?
  • Neptune: Water, Divination, ?
  • Uranus: Wind, ?, ?
  • Pluto: Time, Death?, ?
  • Tuxedo Mask: Psychic, Throwing (Roses, S Movie only Dreidel attack (!)), Anti-fashion, Being Kidnapped and Brainwashed, Entrances

I'm pretty sure Sailor Uranus' second elemental theming is, oddly, "Earth" with something of a tectonic angle. It seems kind of funny given the thematic separation between 'Earth' and 'Sky,' but then, nobody among the main cast navigates dualities better than Haruka, so if anyone can bring it off it's her.

She introduces herself as:

"I am the Keeper of the Door of Space and Time. I am Sailor Pluto. Guardian of the Underworld."

The last part is pretty damn unambiguous.

However, instead of Death it could be something more like Souls, or the Spirit World or such.
If you want to be technical Death is the path, the door, to the Underworld but they are not necessarily one and the same.
 
Greek pantheon had a clear divide between death and dead.
Thanatos is the god of Death, and Hades is the god of the Dead.
So Saturn is the one who sends people on their way, Pluto is the one who looks after all the souls until it is time to be reborn.

If we were the White Council of Dresdenverse, Pluto would be the Gatekeeper, and Saturn would be the Blackstaff. In context of this quest, Underworld is probably some (agglomeration or colloquial name of) hellrealms attached / connected to solar system's timespace location. That, or possibly some sort of prison realm. Maybe one for spirits of the dead who were deemed unfit for reincarnation.

There is thematic overlap between Senshi anyway, not even counting Chibi Usa's future guardians - Neptune and Mercury are both water aligned, even if Mercury is more Ice, which might count as its own separate element. Neptune also shares divination with Mars, who in turn possibly shares Prophecy with Pluto (even if canonically Pluto doesn't do prophecies, as far as I know, the fanon is pervasive enough that it might be true in this quest).

Would this be distinct from how a couple updates ago she called a Precure the future queen of her fairy realm?

I don't remember much of the series, but if the storyline for the PreCure Five has run all the way to its end (including GoGo? I can't remember! :sour:), then her becoming the future queen would be a foregone conclusion. This would be like calling Usagi Neo Queen Serenity at the end of Stars--it hasn't happened yet, but it's already guaranteed.

My working hypothesis is that Pluto doesn't so much "do prophecies" as "receive text messages from her future self."

Using gravity powers to fly doesn't give Makoto an "Air" or "Wind" or "Flight" domain, it just lets her, y'know, fly.

Same principle. Anything you can bend your domain to do, you can do.

Also, it seems pretty clear that mages aren't strictly limited to narrowly elemental-themed magic. Healing isn't a core domain for Ami, but she doesn't seem to have trouble learning 'Mend' once Usagi shows her.

I'm pretty sure that the Pretty Cure Five haven't concluded their plotline, because if they had we wouldn't still have our little sleepy guy.

On the other hand, Setsuna isn't necessarily making a prophecy in the sense of "I am telling you information about your future that will come true." It's not something that shapes destiny in its own right or carries weight of its own. She may well just be making a speculative prediction which, ah, happens to be inspired by her access to information about the future.

From what I got she's teasing them with something that she's seen that's almost certainly going to happen. Like 'If things keep going as they are these two have a 99.9% chance of getting married. I'm gonna tease them with that.'

Also possible.

I'm not sure what Setsuna's relationship with future information is; does she have information that she views probabilistically, or does she get discrete chunks of information she knows were sent by her future self, thus creating predestination scenarios?

Or does she get discrete chunks of information she knows were sent by her future self but her future selves exist probabilistically so sometimes she gets conflicting information from different future selves?
 
Future Pluto sends past Pluto messages in a code made up of cats in boxes that might or might not be alive until observed, which can only be decoded probablistically. Pluto doesn't feel a need to explain anything.

Then Past Pluto might ir might not pass the messages on to present Pluto via quantum telephone.

Edit; further, this isn't a quantum telephone as in the device, but rather a game of Quantum Telephone, where Pluto shouts out the message timed such that a further ahead, quantum-superpoitioned version of Pluto hears it, who then shouts it to the next Pluto (or occasionally Chubi-Usa on accident) and so on, until it reaches Present Pluto. She has to keep herselves entertained somehow.
