Sailor Moon is the beginning of the entire series! Serena finds a cat with a cresent moon on its forehead, and from there it all
begins. Sailor Moon is reawakened then Ami (Sailor Mercury), Rei (Sailor Mars), Lita (Sailor Jupiter) and last they discover Mina
(Sailor Venus). What you must understand is that Sailor Moon is not the original! Sailor V, or Sailor Venus, was the first. She
was a super hero that fought crime and wore a small mask. After the manga was released and Sailor V became very popular they spawned
a new series called Sailor Moon and invented the rest of the Sailor Scouts. In the manga version Sailor V (venus) is the leader of
the sailor scouts, not Sailor Moon. Sailor V leads the rest of the scouts in order to protect their princess (Sailor Moon).
The Sailor Scouts in Sailor Moon are fighting this evil force called the Negaverse and they fight off each of the Queen Beryl.
Queen Beryl was the evil force that forced Queen Serenity to send her daughter, and the rest of the scouts to the future (our present
day). With all the scouts reawakened and Tuxedo Mask, Darian, Prince Endymion, who was to marry Princess Serenity (Sailor Moon), they
use the force of the Imperium Silver Crystal to destroy the Negaverse but end up dying in the end. (In the American version they
do not die but have their memories erased instead. The Sailo Senshi dies but their alter-ego secret identities live on and therefore
have a chance for normal life.)
