Sailor Cosmos
is the true form of ChibiChibi. She appeared briefly in the anime, but
all you saw was her sillohette, handing Usagi a sword with which to defeat
the evil Sailor Chaos.That is the only scene of Cosmos in the Anime.
In the Manga, she had a greater part than this. In the future, when Galaxia had practially taken over the entire universe, she lastly came to the Sol system, the system of Earth, to conquer. But instead of fighting, during the entire Sailor War Sailor Cosmos cowardly allowed Galaxia's reputation to intimidate her. Sailor Galaxia killed all the senshi and got all their starseeds, except for Cosmos, who found she could do nothing but continue to flee, for Shadow Galactica was too strong by then, for if she turned to fight she would surely die. Sailor Cosmos came up with a plan though: She could go back in time, and guide Sailor Moon on the proper path to defeat Galaxia. As Chibi Chibi, she cheered Usagi up when she was depressed,Galaxia having killed all her guardians, the Inner Senshi.As Sailor Chibi Chibi Moon, she protected her and prevented Eternal Sailor Moon from stupid acts, like, say, charging headlong into the arms of Evil Tuxedo Kamen(he,the inner and outersenshi, where all turned to evil by Galaxia's bracelets~Vol 18). As ChibiChibi Moon, she guided Eternal Sailor Moon to the Galaxy cauldron, where Sailor Moon used to power of her Silver Crystal to summon all the stolen crystals out of the cauldron, and attack Chaos. After that, they left to their respective systems to be planets and senshi again, but Sailor Moon's crystal remained, and went into the cauldron. The Sailor Quartet,aka Asteroid Senshi, had been previously knocked out by the Evil Senshi attacks of Mercury and Mars. When Eternal Sailor Moon summoned the Sailor Crystals, she summoned the Quartet's too, awaking them from their stupor. They rushed to the Cauldron in time to see Eternal Sailor Moon vanish in a flurry of lights and feathers.Needless to say, they were horrified till Sailor Cosmos appeared to reassure them of Sailor Moon's rebirth, as well as the rebirth, as all the senshi. Sailor Ceres saw Cosmos for the first time, with her heart shaped odango, and cried "Chibi Chibi?!" in surprised recognition. After Cosmos introduced herself, Ceres asked" Are you the future? Sailor Moon's Ultimate form?" "I am only a coward," answered Cosmos, turning her head, ashamed"I abandoned everything, and ran away from where I should have been. Eternally, I am no match for the final courage and strength of Eternal Sailor Moon." The word 'Final' only served to worry the Asteroid Senshi more, and Cosmos reassured them again,"Do not worry," she said. "Your princess, the same as the other soldiers, was reborn by that Lambda Power. Someday, in that flow of lights, she will arrive safely back in the 30th century. This is the Galaxy Cauldron. Where the galaxy's stars are born, and where they finally return. To engage the source of all the enemies who inhabited here, Chaos, Eternal Sailor Moon melted along with Chaos into the Cauldron's sea of origin. Not the power of Eternal Sailor Moon, but the Cauldron, and the galaxy, were able to return everyone. But in the end, they could not completely eliminate Chaos." "From an overwhelming future, where I lost the war to Sailor Chaos, I gave up everything and ran away. Repeated massacres, a long, painful war... The enemy that appeared, the strong, enormous Sailor Chaos... With the way of fighting we had used, we didn't stand a chance. Even if we defeated it, even if we returned the peace of before, the damage taken, the price we paid, would be too much. Too far-reaching. We couldn't do it. I don't know anymore, why there are wars. What is right. What should I do? When I'm lost, when I'm hurt, I remember. The war here. Back then at the Cauldron. If I had eliminated it, would the pain, would the war have ended? After regretting it so many times, I came here. To make it right this time." [[There's a flashback of ChibiChibi, floating down on her umbrella]] "The me of here(ChibiChibi), too, was all alone. Always suffering. So I was always by her side, to support her. I was going to make her choose the right path this time.... But I knew. The chosen path was not a mistake. Nobody can destroy the place where stars are born(the Galaxy Cauldron). Because of this place, we can continue living. Time and time again, we can start over. I won't run away anymore. I'll go ahead to the future. Because I was blessed with great power by Eternal Sailor Moon. All the courage and strength to stand alone, the courage and strength to accept everything! I had forgotten it. The matchless strength!" Sailor Cosmos sent the Sailor Quartet back to the future, to guard Chibi Usa in the 30th century. Standing there as they faded away, she had a small smile on her lips, for she knew that this time the future would turn out right. |
