Different possibilities of future Sera Myu

Since it is the 30th of June, Usagi's birthday, I thought I might finally post this thing that has been in my drafts for some months lol

Let's go!

So ever since the end of Musical Festival Chronicle, I've been thinking about what would be the next Sera Myu we get? During the Senshuuraku of Chronicle, Riko mentioned that when Kaguya-hime no Koibito ended, they weren't sure if Sera Myu would continue so most likely the same thing applies now. It might be possible Myu might end but we had Super Live this year so there are chances. Many might think that since the Crystal series finally comes to an end, so does anything else related to Sailor Moon, but it is very much certain that they will keep pushing out merch as it has been very profitable so far and even the Sailor Moon Museum announced that it will reopen in 2024 so there might be more musicals just like back in the day! Although we still haven't gotten any news regarding it and I for sure thought we would get some new info today... ANYWAY we have gone through all the main 5 arcs, one short story and one original so what next? I have a few ideas. (check terms at the end of the post if confused)

1) Third installment in the Snow Kaguya series

For me, it didn't really seem like Snow Kaguya was fully defeated in Chronicle, as she was defeated in the same way as she was in KHnK so it feels super random that she would be defeated NOW so maybe they could do one more musical to finally defeat Princess Snow Kaguya (maybe as Eternal Sailor Moon)

2) Something completely new

It could be possible we might get something completely new and original. Who knows? lol

3) R movie or SuperS movie

Ever since KHnK, people have been wondering if the other two movies would be made into a musical, although KHnK bore no resemblance to the movie as it pretty much followed the manga short story to the T, it is still possible that the other two movies will be made into musicals.

4) Another Story musical

ah the forgotten gem in the SM universe. I really love Another Story and I wish it would get more recognition. And since they are going with the Super/Mugen arc theme as KHnK takes place around that time and Another Story is supposed to take place after the Mugen arc so it could be a possibility. How it works in action is kinda ? as Another Story featured every major villain from Dark Kingdom arc to Mugen arc but they could focus it on the Oppositio Senshi and Apsu. It also would be cool if previous Senshi actors would return as the Oppositio Senshi (for example, AE Inners)

5) Kaguya Shima Densetsu/Snow Kaguya hybrid

So this is kind of similiar to my #1 idea but I feel like this needed to be its own thing. It could be possible that they'd fuse these two stories into one where Snow Kaguya replaces Dark Plasman and she is somehow connected to Kaguya Island since they have the same name(although she was given that name by Kakeru but who knows. Myulore tends to be confusing sometimes lol). And the reason for this is that I think that we will not get Kaguya Shima Densetsu remade and I will get to that soon

6) The Dracul series remake

I have my doubts about this since the Dracul series tends to be kinda confusing and since it's a story that requires all 3/4 musicals to be watched and that all to happen in the span of 3 years would be kinda hard to follow (during BanMyu it only took about a year and a half as they did multiple musicals in the span of one year but now they are doing only one musical a year, not counting Super Live). And the 4 musicals had way too many plot points in them so it would be fairly impossible to put that all in one musical. Also, it had kinda dark stuff in it so not sure if it would be allowed to be performed in this day and age lmao. (But I actually had a dream some time ago that Sayaka Okamura(Snow Kaguya) sang Muma no Oodri as Death Lamia so yeah lol)

7) Sailor V musical

I think the best point for a Sailor V musical would have been in 2018 after LMF as the main story has ended and the cast at the time had had their "graduation". So as much as I want a Sailor V musical I do not really see them doing it now when they have a cast of all the Senshi (unless they decide to do multiple musicals a year)

8) Kaguya Shima Densetsu remake

I do not see this happening as of now cause I just cannot see Dark Plasman played by a woman. I do not mean this with the intent to hurt anyone's feelings or to attack those who are fans of the all-female cast. It's just that Dark Plasman has such a deep voice that I just don't think it would be possible, or if they did, I think I would personally not enjoy it. I mean, if there is someone who has a deep voice like that, I would be happy to see it, but it just seems kinda unlikely as the deepest voice we have had in NewMyu this far are Syu Shiotsuki (UNV-LMF Sailor Uranus) and Kei Oogi (UNV Kaolinite). So unless they return to the mixed cast they had in BanMyu I do not see Kaguya Shima Densetsu happening in its original form in any way in the near future.

9) Other side stories

This is kinda random but maybe they could make musicals from other side stories. This seems very unlikely tho as the other side stories are a lot shorter and KHnK (unless they decide to make the Exam Battles into one musical or something idk) Demon Tree arc is also a possibility

10) NogiMyu R

Don't really see this happening as it has been quite a long time since the previous NogiMyu (although Super Live made a comeback so who knows). The only things to support this are the facts that at the end of NogiMyu they teased us with the Black Moon arc and ever since then it's been a possibility. Also on the Official Sailor Moon website, NogiMyu is still listed in the "Stage" section even after all this time so maybe they could be planning something with it. But if NogiMyu does make a comeback, I hope they do not do the DK arc AGAIN.

So there are many possibilities but will any of them come true? Who knows lol

How old are the Witches 5?

After my "how tall are the Witches 5" here's a post trying to find out how old they are.

I'd like to start by saying their ages are probably not consistent among the different versions (manga, 90s anime, sera myu, crystal) but I still think the range is similar.

Manga

Given the format being in black and white, it's hard to distinguish which colour are their respective bows. The only picture in color in the Mugen uniform is Mimete, and her bow is green, meaning she should be in high school (so around 15-18 years old). I would assume it's the same for the others.

90s anime

Just like a lot of characters (especially villains), the Witches 5 look significantly older in the 90s anime. But I do think it's only because of the art style and their age is still close to their manga counterpart. Unlike the manga, only two witches were shown wearing the Mugen uniform (mainly Viluy, Tellu only when her student ID is shown). In both cases, their bows were both green. This should mean these two are in high school (again 15-18 years old). I would assume most of the other witches are probably in the same age range, but I think Eudial is probably 18 (or more) and the oldest. First, driving a car is 18+ in Japan, and the other witches called her old behind her back so it seems fair to assume she's older than them.

Crystal

Meanwhile in Crystal, except for Eudial, every witches wear a blue ribbon, meaning they are in middle school (and Eudial is in high school, making her the oldest). This means Mimete, Viluy, Tellu, Cyprine and Ptilol are around 13-15 while Eudial is 15-18 (possibly closer to 15-16 so she wouldn't be that much older than the others). It also makes them all (minus Eudial) around the same age as the inners, who were 14-15 around that time and still in middle school.

And let's add the musicals for good measure. I just want to precise that the green bows are not the default in the musicals, Hotaru is wearing her blue bow in all versions, and there were elementary school girls wearing the red bow.

Bandai Myu

Eudial, Mimete, Tellu and Viluy are shown wearing the green bow with their uniforms, so it's fair to assume they are high school age. Cyprine isn't shown with a school uniform in this musical but I think it's reasonable to think she'd be around the same age as her fellow witches.

Nelke Myu (Un Nouveau Voyage)

This time, all the Witches 5 are shown as Mugen students. And just like for the older musicals, they wear the green bow. In one scene in particular, Eudial is referred to as "senpai" by Mimete, which may indicate she is the oldest (or a reference to the 90s anime where Eudial is called senpai by Mimete). Mimete is also referred to as "senpai" by Minako, seeming to confirm that they are indeed high schoolers (as opposed to Minako and the other senshi being middle schoolers).

In conclusion

In most continuity, the Witches 5 appear to be of high school age (15-18) except for Crystal where most of them are of middle school age (13-15) while Eudial is in high school. In either case, it appears that Eudial is depicted as the oldest.

My personal headcanon is that, if they are in high school, Mimete and Tellu are in first year, Viluy and Cyprine/Ptilol are in second year and Eudial is in third year. Similarily as the Spectre Sisters who the order of youngest to oldest is the reverse of the inners (Petz being the oldest while Jupiter is the youngest etc), my headcanon would follow that logic but with the Witches 5 following the order of the inners age. So Tellu would be the youngest just like Jupiter (15), followed by Mimete (15-16), Viluy (16), Cyprine (16-17) and then Eudial (18).

Sera Myu Week - Day 1

The first prompt! I am not fully back to Tumblr, so I think I’m gonna stick with rankings for most of the prompts! But this’ll help you get a bit of a better look at me! @sera-myu-week

Day 1, Dark Kingdom. Gonna rank all the Dark Kingdom Myu. Gonna exclude The Super Live & Shining Moon Tokyo since we haven’t seen them in full. But just know, I do really love both casts and they would probably be high up on the list. xD 5. Gaiden: Dark Kingdom Fukkatsu Hen (1993)

Scan from https://www.shiningmoon.com.pl/ As you may have expected, Gaiden is at the bottom of my list. I’m sorry, it’s still my least-favorite musical. I have found charm in it when I rewatched it a year ago, but it definitely struggled a lot. It was the first musical, and it definitely has the worst growing pains out of all of them. But, it gave us ANZA and La Soldier, so it definitely was good for something, at least. XD

4. NogiMyu - Team MOON (2018)

Man, the NogiMyu fanwars really had me disliking this version for a very long time. xD I actually REALLY like it now. I prefer the other 2 versions of NogiMyu, but it definitely has its charm! It’s crazy to me that only 2 of the senshi are still in Nogizaka46 now (Riria and Mizuki)! 

3. La Reconquista (2013)

You know, there’s just something I really love about La Reconquista but I just can’t put my finger on it. Besides Petite Etrangere, it’s definitely one of the weaker Nelke Musicals, and yet, I just like it? Watching the Blu-ray, I couldn’t believe how much I was enjoying it. I think for being the musical tha revived Myu, it did a good job. It set the tone that eventually lead us to getting even better musicals later! PLUS THE INNERS CAST IS AMAZING <3 (Even Miyabi. I love her too. XD)

2. NogiMyu 2019

NogiMyu 2019 was honestly so good. I will say, watching it for the first time, I didn’t really feel it as I was VERY in love with Team STAR. But, over time, I REALLY grew to love this cast. I can’t pick a favorite between Shiori, Junna, and Seira. They’re all SO good. Plus, the amazing supporting cast from the past NogiMyu performances. Mayu was a bit of a weak link from the inners, but she’s still good and has improved a lot in Nogizaka46 since then!

1. NogiMyu - Team STAR (2018)

I’ve been gone for a while, but you guys KNOW this was gonna be my first place. Even now, it still ranks either my favorite or second-favorite musical of all time (it switches daily XD). I loved this cast SO much. SayuriMoon is one of my all-time faves and she will remain supreme in my eyes! It was the first NogiMyu version I saw, and my heart will always remain with Team STAR. ALSO HELLO QUEEN KANA NAKADA THE LEGEND I LOVE HER SO MUCH.

Okay, that’s it for day 1, I hope you enjoyed byeeeee xD
