Revision as of 05:09, 8 October 2011
Template:Charabox'Ten'ou/Tenoh Haruka' (Amara Tenoh in the English dub) better known as Sailor Uranus is one of the Outer Soldiers. She is the Keeper of the Space Sword.
Haruka is very tomboyish, strong, and she hates anything feminine.
Haruka is formally introduced in the Sailor Moon S story arc, although she appears in silhouette alongside Sailor Neptune in the final Sailor Moon R episode, which acted as a "teaser" to Sailor Moon S.
Haruka is older than the Inner Senshi, already in high school when the Inner Soldiers are still in junior high. She originally attended the private Mugen School, along with Michiru and Hotaru. She is very tomboyish and has a love of speed; she runs track and races many kinds of vehicles. She can be deeply suspicious of others and can often appear cold in this regard, although she will strongly defend anyone who has earned her trust.
As a Sailor Soldier, Uranus' tactics (along with Neptune's) can be controversial and morally ambiguous, which puts her at odds with Sailor Moon and the other inner Senshi - particularly since they can frequently involve sacrificing lives. This includes willing to let the Death Buster's victims die if their Heart Crystals were the ones they were searching for, wanting to kill Hotaru because she had the Sovereign of Silence within her and betraying Saturn and Pluto in an attempt to join with Galaxia and then double-cross her.
Haruka's name means 'Far Sky King', although her attacks do not exactly reflect this.
Her relationship with Sailor Neptune
In the original manga, Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus were lovers and this followed to the Japanese anime. However, in the dub, it was decided to change their relationship to that of cousins, as it was considered too controversial for a children's show. Due to the controversial nature of their relationship, Haruka and Michiru were introduced in the dub as cousins, a fact reinforced by others that technically should not have known to begin with. But despite that, their flirty banter is mostly kept intact throughout the season. Even though they are lovers, they have agreed that they will sacrifice each other if necessary for their mission.
Some have hypothesized that in the Moon Kingdom, Sailor Uranus was a man ("Prince Uranus"), and was reincarnated as female (thus making Haruka and Michiru's relationship "really heterosexual"), but this has been refuted by Naoko Takeuchi. Some characterize Haruka as being the dominant personality in the relationship, although it could be argued that Michiru has Haruka wrapped around her finger.
Princess Uranus:
As a Princess, she ruled over planet Uranus and dwelt in castle Miranda, where she wore a deep-blue gown.
In the Manga
Haruka.
Haruka in the manga is a swift change from Haruka in the anime, as she is shown wearing both feminine and masculine clothing. When she wears masculine clothes, her appearance is sharper to help make the distinction.
Sailor Uranus in the manga
In the Anime
Haruka is introduced in the S season of the anime. Due to her masculine dress style, Haruka is more often than not mistaken for a boy, as evidenced by Usagi and Minako.
Transformations
thumb|left|300px Uranus Planet Power, Make Up: She uses her Lip Rod to transform into her first Senshi uniform. In Sailor Stars, Hotaru grants her, Sailor Neptune and Sailor Pluto the ability to transform into their second Senshi uniform.
Uranus Crystal Power, Make Up: In the manga, she uses the Uranus Crystal to transform into her second Senshi uniform and in the Stars arc, her third Senshi uniform.
Attacks
World Shaking: She performed this attack by raising her hand above her head, causing a ringed sphere of energy to form. When the energy sphere was fully formed, she hurled it toward the ground in the direction of the target. The sphere moved through the ground, causing an earthquake, then rose above the ground just before hitting the target.
Sailor Uranus with her Space Sword
Space Sword Blaster: When this attack was used in the anime, the Space Sword's blade would glow and she would then swing the sword and release a wave of energy that would destroy its target. In episode 169, it was demonstrated that this attack could hit multiple enemies at once. In the manga, the blade would grow larger and glow, and Sailor Uranus would then use the Space Sword to physically attack her enemies.
Space Turbulance: It appeared to generate an enourmous amount of energy within Sailor Uranus's hands, which was then unleashed as series of beams.
