This is the question on many Sailormoon fans' minds, especially with the recent release of the dubbed Sailor Moon S movie and the beginning of the dubbed S episodes. Are Haruka and Michiru lovers, or are they merely friends? In our opinion, and in the minds of thousands of Haruka and Michiru fans, yes, they are lovers, best friends, life mates and soulmates. What proof do we have, you may ask? What proof do you need? As if the little jokes, like "There are some things only adults can enjoy. Wouldn't you agree?" said by Sailor Neptune, and the blush that follows from Sailor Uranus in the Super S movie weren't enough...but the look of sheer terror from Sailor Uranus when Sailor Neptune is killed in the talisman episode, and the response that follows. Or what about in the final episodes of Stars, when Uranus and Neptune aparently turn traitor to be with one another? Haruka comments to Michiru when they are making the choice "If I can be with you, I won't hesitate to sell my soul to the devil." to which Michiru replies "You're right." As they're waiting for their Star Seeds to be taken by Galaxia, Michiru turns to Haruka and says "Even in death, we're together." And they were... |
-Haruka to Michiru- |
During the S season, Haruka shows her jealousy when a little boy at Michiru's art school gives her roses. Haruka comments that the roses are nice, and asks if they're from Michiru's boyfriend. Michiru replies "Haruka, are you jealous?" and Haruka replies "I'm not jealous. I just can't allow anyone else to look at you." To this, Michiru smiles and comments "That's called jealousy, Haruka." |
While in the park, during the Stars season, Haruka and Michiru find Usagi in a park, waiting for Seiya to arrive. Michiru asks what she's doing there, and explains that "Only couples and pigeons come to this park on holidays" A few moments later, after some discussion, Michiru grabs Haruka's arm, dragging her away from Usagi, calling a quick goodbye over her shoulder. As they're walking away, Haruka comments to Michiru that she's hurting her. Michiru replies "Oh? Am I?" and Haruka says "I want you to touch me gently." Michiru responds "Later, when we're alone." |
During the search for the talismans, Haruka worries that her hands are dirty from her mission, from the part that she's played in the near-deaths of so many. Michiru sees her worry, dispite the fact that she tries to hide it from her partner. She clasps Haruka's hand, looking into her eyes, and tells her "Don't worry, I like your hands." | This one speaks for itself. Do cousins always give one another such a look of love? |
