| Mich.:
First and foremost, let's talk about your
relationship with Usagi. Now, when you first met her, she hated your
guts, right?
Mam: Yes, because I called her "odango atama" all the time. She hated it!
Mam:
Yes. Odango are a Japanese treat that are shaped like little balls.
Her hairstyle reminded me of odango.
Mich.:
And since most of us Westerners have never heard of odango, DIC translated
it as "Meatball Head."
Mam:
That works, too.
Mich.:
Now, Usagi is a bit of an airhead and a crybaby. She admits it herself!
What is like to date such a ditz when you seem so sophisticated?
Mich.:
Ugh, you are so disgusting!
Mam:
Okay, okay, I'll be serious for a moment. She is a bit of a "ditz,"
as you put it, but she has a heart of gold. She can find the good
side of anyone, no matter how evil they seem on the outside. She's
also still young, and I know that a lot of the "immaturity" is normal for
girls her age. She may act like a crybaby most of the time, but when
the battles become really tough, so does she. I know that I can always
count on her, even if I have to give her a little verbal push every once
in awhile!
Mich.:
Ah, you are so sweet! Now, there are rumors that in the future you,
as King Endymion, have a fling with Sailor Pluto. Is that correct?
Mam:
No way! It's only a rumor. I love Usagi and would never cheat
on her!
Mich.:
There are also rumors that you and Usagi slept together in the manga.
Is that correct?
Mam:
(blushing) I choose not to answer that!
Mich.:
(disappointed) Okay, I won't push. So let's move on.
How did you feel when you found out that Usagi was really Sailor
Moon?
(! The following paragraph may not be suitable
for audiences with an IQ above 50…)
Mam:
Well, of course I was shocked. But it was also a turning point in
our relationship. I realized that even though she acted like she
hated me, she secretly loved me. After all, she risked everything
by revealing her secret identity to me. She had no idea that I was
Tuxedo Kamen, and yet she was willing to accept whatever consequences might
result from my knowing that she was really Sailor Moon. She showed
true bravery and trust in herself that day, and she won my heart!
Mich.:
Or maybe she just didn't want to get toasted!
Mam:
I resent that!
Mich.:
Weren't you dating Rei Hino at that time? Mam:
Well, uh,…
Mich.:
I thought so! You were supposed to be so in love with Rei
and yet you got all excited because you thought that Usagi was secretly
in love with you? Typical male!
Mam:
Hey, first of all, I wasn’t "in love" with Rei! She was just a cute
girl, a cute junior high girl, by the way!
Mich.:
Yeah, and that brings up another point. What kind of a pervert are
you anyways, chasing after junior high girls when you're in college?
Mam:
Hey, in the manga I was only a junior in high school!
Mich.:
Yeah, and in the manga, you didn't date Rei! So don't try to pull
that one on me! Although it does make the Usagi thing seem
less nasty...
Mam:
Okay, okay, let's put this in perspective. The anime is aimed at
younger girls, correct?
Mich.:
Yes...
Mam:
And isn't it a fantasy of junior high girls to date an older man?
In fact, wasn't there a particular OSU football player that you had a major
crush on when you were that age?
Mich.:
(blushing intensely) Um, yes, I see what you're getting at.
It's fulfilling the fantasy of junior high girls. If this show were
aimed at college guys, then it would be sick and twisted.
Mam:
You got it!
Mich.:
But back to Rei. You were dating her, then you dumped her for Usagi.
Mam:
Like I said, to me, we weren't dating. She was like my little sister,
not like a girlfriend!
Mich.:
But you knew that she was crazy about you, didn’t you?
Mam:
I thought it was just a schoolgirl crush…
Mam:
And you realize that she never married or even got serious with another
man? Do you think that was due to her heartache of being dumped by
you for her best friend?
Mam:
Hey, it was destiny! Give me a break! You can’t blame that
on me! And besides, there was that Chad guy…
Mich.:
Uh, Mamoru, you’re slipping into DIC name cross-overs…
Mam:
You know, I have a name crossover for you…
(Oops, sorry folks. Had
to edit this part, too…)
Mich.: Um, I didn’t mean to get you started, so let’s change the subject. Why are you trying to kill Luna here? Did PETA come after you for this? Poor little strangled kitty! 
Mam:
That's correct. Although she is my daughter's guardian cat, Diana
and I are close friends.
Mich.: I love this picture of you with her. It's so cute!  Mich.: Yes, you're right. Now talking about cute...  Mich.: Well, you're not actually IN the tub! I'm sorry. I just couldn't resist. (Heh, heh, heh...) Okay, I have one more question for you. How could you not know that Chibi-Usa was your daughter? I mean, I knew by the third episode after she showed up! What took you so long? And that look on your face when you find out is classic!  Mich.:
Okay, that’s fair. Just one more question…
Mam:
You said that the last time…
Mich.: Would you please explain this picture to me?     |
Mam:
Well, I've seen what she looks like in the future. What a babe!
It's worth the wait!
Mich.:
You are so sweet! I'm sorry for misjudging you! Now in the
future, you are close to Luna's daughter Diana, correct?
