Appearance[]
Guardian Cosmos is a small female spirit with very long hair who wears a long transparent balloon shaped dress decorated with beads. She wears a tiara accessory on her head and carries a staff. She has a circular aura around her. Her appearance is likely based on a fairy godmother often seen in children’s animated movies and fairy tale stories.
Information[]
Guardian Cosmos is one of the most mysterious and distinct figures in the entire Sailor Moon manga. She appears to be the Sailor Power Guardian of the Cosmos Crystal and the Galaxy Cauldron, which sets her apart from other guardians who are guarding their designated planets. Despite sharing a name with Sailor Cosmos, she does not have any affiliations with her during the present timeline and is mainly fixated towards guarding and granting wishes to the visitors of the Galaxy Cauldron.
Many years ago she helped Queen Serenity to grant her wish of reincarnating her late daughter Princess Serenity after she brought her own Moon Crystal to the Galaxy Cauldron.
Final Chapter[]
Eternal Sailor Moon dives into the Galaxy Cauldron to rescue her loved ones and stop Chaos who has merged with it. Sacrificing herself, she expected to melt away like all others who have fallen into the Cauldron. Instead, she awakens inside and after reuniting with her friends is greeted by a small figure of a woman who appears before them. The woman introduces herself as Guardian Cosmos, the guardian of the cauldron, and holy spirit of the Cosmos Seed. They briefly speak and she wonders aloud if Usagi and the others wish to begin a new history of the stars, or leave the Cauldron in their current star forms. Usagi tells her that no matter how hard it will be, she wishes to return the way she and her friends knew each other, so that they may continue to live on together as friends. Guardian Cosmos later exclaims that this reminded her of a very long time ago when another woman came to the Cauldron in her completed star form and held a small Star Seed that had a radiance much like Usagi's.
The Sailor Guardians were then encased in a light and begin to float away. As they leave, Usagi tries to ask Guardian Cosmos about Chaos, but is cut off as she is ejected from the Cauldron. After Usagi and her friends fade into the distance, Guardian Cosmos answers that Chaos' core: the Chaos seed, and Guardian Chaos have melted into the Cauldron, but may return some day.
Trivia[]
- She is the last new character to appear in the main story of the manga and mentions the last character introduced: Guardian Chaos. The last characters overall are in the alternate-universe short-story Parallel Sailor Moon.
- This encounter bears some notable similarities with the Disney film The Black Cauldron. The witches who guard the eponymous object reveal to the heroes that the only way to stop the Cauldron from being used by the force of evil is for one of them to dive into it. However, once this act of self-sacrifice has been performed, the guardian witches reveal to the surviving heroes that they will be rewarded with a wish, which can be used to return their sacrificed friend to their normal, living form.
