MANGA


click for larger version Sailor Cosmos appears only in the manga. She first appears in Act 51, Volume 18, and is introduced in Act 52, Volume 18. She is the true form of ChibiChibi. She comes from the future, when Chaos had taken nearly the entire universe, and killed every senshi except for her. Cosmos comes from a time when nothing remains of the universe but wars, violence, death, and destruction. She had lost the battle against Sailor Chaos, and felt that there was nothing left for her to do but flee. She felt that their way of fighting couldn't stand a chance, and that even if they won, at that point, the damage would have already been too great. She became so lost and scared that she could no longer remember what was right, and could only remember her mistakes of the past. She regretted not destroying the Galaxy Cauldron when given the chance. She goes back in time to guide Eternal Sailor Moon in destroying Chaos. She appears to Usagi as ChibiChibi, protecting and encouraging her, and remianing by her side. She says, "The me of here [Sailor Moon], too, was all alone. Always suffering. So I was always by her click for larger version side to support her. I was going to make her choose the right path this time." As ChibiChibi, she tries to convince Sailor Moon to destroy the Cauldron. By this point, the Cauldron and Chaos have completely become one. The only way to destroy Chaos would be to destroy the source of all enemies, the Cauldron. However, if the Cauldron is destroyed, no more stars will be born in the galaxy, and her friends will never be reborn. Sailor Moon decides not to destroy the Cauldron, but to sacrifice herself by melding with the Cauldron to save everyone. Sailor Cosmos decided that by not destroying the Cauldron, Sailor Moon had made the right choice, because through the Cauldron, the stars can be reborn again and again. She decides to return to the future to continue fighting, inspired by Eternal Sailor Moon's strength and courage. She tells the Sailor Quartetto that Eternal Sailor Moon is the TRUE Sailor Cosmos, until she herself can match that strength and courage, at which point she would once again be Sailor Cosmos. As all of the other Sailor Crystals are being returned to their owners, Sailor Cosmos sends the Sailor Quartetto back to the 30th Century, and then fades away.
