The ancient Moon Kingdom, a civilization of immense power and grace, serves as the pivotal prehistory to the events of the Sailor Moon narrative. This era represents a time of peace and prosperity, ruled by Queen Serenity from her palace located within a vast, idyllic landscape on the lunar surface. The inhabitants enjoyed long lives and were tasked with protecting the Earth. This realm directly influences the characters’ destinies and motivations in the present day.
Its significance lies in its establishment of the characters’ past lives and the source of their inherent powers. The tragic destruction of this realm at the hands of malevolent forces is the driving catalyst for the unfolding story. It provides a foundation for themes of reincarnation, destiny, and the enduring power of love and sacrifice. The legacy left behind by its leaders continues to inspire and inform the actions of the present-day Sailor Guardians.
