Hotaru Tomoe is the ill schoolgirl known as Sailor Saturn in the manga and animation series Sailor Moon. Sailor Saturn suffers from seizures caused by her health problems but she also distinguishes herself by the unique powers that she becomes aware of pretty late. She plays in a great team with Chibiusa and Usagi, two other heroines of the metaseries, who are her best friends. In daily life, Sailor Saturn is not on good terms with her classmates, both because of her seizures and the unique capacities she has. Sailor Saturn is present in the manga and the animated series of Sailor Moon. Sailor Saturn and details on her life are usually revealed in the manga form preponderantly rather than in the animations.
Sailor Saturn has the body covered with cybernetic attachments in one version, but later she appears wholy human. Modifications in plot and character evolutions alternatate from the manga to the animation; thus, Sailor Saturn changes her age for instance. First she is 13 then she gets reborn and is pictured as a five-year old girl, only to grow into a 13 year old all over again. As for her hidden powers, Sailor Saturn finds revelation only when Sailor Uranus, Neptune and Pluto unite their talismans and make her resonate.
Though possessing a planetary destructive weapon, Sailor Saturn is a world savior and a redeemer, allowing mankind to get reborn by putting an end to the destructions caused by the Silver Millennium kingdom. After the rebirth and the assumption of a new life, Sailor Saturn is a lot more vivid and definitely happier. She dreams of becoming a nurse some day, particularly as she has minor healing powers. In philosophical terms, Sailor Saturn stands for the all necessary doom: without death there can be no rebirth, thus, her weapon, the Silence Glaive can lead the world to ultimate disappearance only to make it resurge in a purer form later.
With every number in the manga series, Sailor Saturn improves her powers. Her uniform indicates the changes in her statute, since after each major trial, an apparel item is added to suggest the modifications. One has to be a real fan to read episode after episode, as it is pretty difficult to grasp the complexity of the plot in its mid development. Present in Japanese and English versions of the series, Sailor Saturn makes the picture of this entertainment form complete.
