20 Strongest ‘Sailor Moon’ Characters Ranked

The ‘Sailor Moon’ series consists of dozens of amazing characters. Each of them has unique attacks and power sets designed around specific elements. Some are insanely powerful and can transform into more powerful versions of themselves, and some are just downright underwhelming in terms of raw power. This is why we decided to rank the 20 strongest ‘Sailor Moon’ characters. Let’s check out our list.

20. Sailor Luna 

Luna is a wise, talking black cat that advises and trains Sailor Moon and the Sailor Guardians, gaining the ability to transform into a human form as Sailor Luna after being bathed with the Silver Crystal. However, Sailor Luna is considered unpredictable and weak compared to others, as she struggles to maintain her human form and retains cat-like characteristics, such as a fear of dogs and distractions by cat toys, even in her transformed state. She wields a giant folding fan as a weapon, although it doesn’t deal high damage.

19. Sailor Quartet

The Sailor Quartet, also known as the Amazoness Quartet, consists of Sailor Ceres, Sailor Vesta, Sailor Juno, and Sailor Pallas, named after Asteroids in the Solar System. Responsible for guarding Sailor Chibi Moon, they eventually assist in the fight against Sailor Galaxia. Despite their strength as a group, they are considered one of the weakest among the Sailor Scouts, employing attacks based on circus skills, such as summoning plants and lemurs, using dolls, and stealing dreams.

18. Sailor Kakyuu

Sailor Kakyuu, also known as Princess Kakyuu, is the princess of the planet Kinmoku who sought refuge on Earth after her planet was destroyed by the Shadow Galactica Empire. She possesses unique features, including a star tiara and a skirt made of orange-red translucent petals.

Unfortunately, she meets her demise at the hands of Sailor Galaxia’s servants, Sailor Chi and Phi.

17. Sailor Star Healer

Sailor Star Healer arrived on Earth with the other Starlights after their homeworld was destroyed by Sailor Galaxia. In her civilian form, she is a male student at Juban High School and a member of the Three Lights. With the ability to heal and heightened spiritual awareness, she can sense when Galaxia or her minions take Star Seeds. Her powerful attack, Star Sensitive Inferno, shoots a blast of lightning to harm enemies, though she rarely uses it to its full extent. Additionally, as a Sailor Starlight, she can teleport and grow wings, providing her with advantages over other Sailors.

16. Sailor Star Maker

As part of the trio of Starlights, Star Maker, disguised as male student Kou Taiki at Juban High School, exhibits high intelligence, achieving top exam scores and surpassing Sailor Mercury, Ami Mizuno. Her energy conversion attack, Star Gentle Uterus, shoots multiple light balls, serving as an offensive attack that can be lethal, although she seldom uses it in that manner. Like her fellow Starlights, she possesses the ability to teleport and grow wings.

15. Sailor Chi and Sailor Phi 

Sailor Chi and Sailor Phi serve as loyal and second-in-command to Sailor Galaxia, known as the Star Gardeners, in charge of watching over star seeds in the Star Garden. As messengers, they manage other servants and wield staff with sun symbols for both combat and collecting star seeds. Formidable adversaries, they are responsible for the deaths of Sailor Kakyuu, all three Sailor Starlights, as well as Sailors Lethe and Mnemosyne.

14. Sailor Chibi Moon

Sailor Chibi Moon, also known as Chibiusa, is the heir to the Silver Millennium and the child of King Endymion and Neo Queen Serenity.

In a notable instance, she successfully uses Pink Sugar Heart Attack to subdue Mistress 9, a feat that challenges the other five Sailor Guardians.

13. Sailor Mars

Sailor Mars, also known as Rei Hino, is the second Sailor Senshi discovered by Usagi with fire-themed abilities. While ranking lower in power compared to others, she possesses strong fire attacks, such as Akuryo Taisan and Burning Mandala, which stun enemies but often require assistance from fellow Senshi to cause significant damage. Sailor Mars also has psychic abilities, including fire readings and dispelling evil spirits, contributing to the team’s diverse skill set.

12. Sailor Mercury

Sailor Mercury, or Ami Mizuno in civilian form, is an original Inner Sailor Guardian known for her intelligence and technological expertise. As the “brains” of the group, she uses supercomputers to gather data during battles and possesses ice and water powers. With attacks like Shine Aqua Illusion, she can freeze enemies, create defensive barriers, or use it as a projectile. Additionally, Sailor Mercury has non-magical items like a micro supercomputer, Sailor Star Tambo, and Mercury Harp, enhancing her analytical and combat capabilities.

11. Sailor Jupiter

Sailor Jupiter, also known as Makoto Kino, is the powerhouse among the Inner Guardians, distinguished by her extraordinary strength and martial arts skills. Her abilities are centered around electricity and earth, showcased in attacks like Supreme Thunder, which unleashes powerful lightning bolts. Despite lacking magical finesse, Sailor Jupiter compensates with superhuman strength, earning her the title of the “muscle” of the group and making her a formidable force in defeating enemies independently.

10. Sailor Venus

Sailor Venus, aka Minako Aino, is the commander of the Inner Senshi and the guardian of Princess Serenity. While initially masquerading as Sailor V, she later embraces her role as Sailor Venus. Known for her compassion and strategic prowess, she wields powers associated with love and light, manipulating emotions and surprising enemies in battle.

Her attacks include Deep Submerge and Submarine Violon Tide, showcasing her formidable powers.

8. Sailor Uranus

Sailor Uranus, or Haruka Tenou, is an aggressive and confident member of the Outer Senshi, portrayed as the anti-hero and lover of Sailor Neptune. Armed with the Space Sword, one of the powerful Talismans, she exhibits earth-based abilities and excels in martial arts. Her determination to banish evil leads her to make tough choices, and her formidable attacks, such as World Shaking and Space Turbulence, showcase her strength in the battle against enemies.

7. Sailor Chibi Chibi

Sailor Chibi Chibi, the Star Seed of Sailor Galaxia, possesses immense powerful abilities, serving as a vital support for the Senshis. Acting as a source of hope and amplification, she enhances the abilities of her allies, transforming into weapons during battles against formidable foes like Galaxia. Despite being a toddler, her potential for growth and the extent of her powers remain unclear, making her a force to be reckoned with as she continues to develop.

6. Sailor Pluto

Sailor Pluto, also known as Setsuna Meiou, serves as the Guardian of Time and Space. As the oldest and most experienced among the Senshis, she upholds strict rules in safeguarding the Space-Time Door, utilizing powers associated with time, space, and darkness. While demonstrating formidable abilities like stopping time and controlling the Space-Time Door’s access, her reliance on the Garnet Rod for attacks presents a vulnerability. Despite her duty as a guardian limiting her involvement, she showcases her strength by engaging in battles, including facing Sailor Moon to prevent unauthorized use of the Space-Time Door.

5. Sailor Saturn

Sailor Saturn, also known as Hotaru Tomoe, embodies the Senshi of death and rebirth, wielding powers centered around destruction, death, rebirth, and ruin. Recognized as a god of destruction, she harbors the potential to annihilate worlds and reset the evolution of an entire galaxy, although this immense power comes with a significant cost—the sacrifice of her own life, leading to her rebirth as an infant. Her abilities include creating force fields, emitting energy beams, and minor wound healing, making her a formidable force that villains like Pharaoh 90 and Mistress 9 seek to control. Placed in stasis to safeguard against her overwhelming power, Sailor Saturn is only awakened in dire circumstances where her ability to wipe out everything is required for a fresh start.

4. Sailor Galaxia

Sailor Galaxia, the main antagonist of the fifth story arc, is a human-like female alien who once was a Senshi but succumbed to the influence of Chaos, transforming into an evil force. Proclaiming herself as the Golden Queen of Shadow Galactica and the Guardian of Solitude, Galaxia stands as the antithesis to Sailor Moon, driven by a desire to extinguish all life. Her insatiable lust for power led her to destroy numerous worlds, harvesting star seeds to amplify her strength, allowing her to effortlessly obliterate planets and reanimate fallen Senshis as her minions or puppets. Throughout the series, she successfully eliminates all Sailor Senshis except Sailor Moon, Sailor Chibi Chibi Moon, and the Sailor Starlights.

3. Neo Queen Serenity

In the Thirtieth Century, Neo Queen Serenity is the future form of Sailor Moon, reigning as the Queen of the Moon and Earth. Married to King Endymion and mother to Chibiusa, she is celebrated for purifying the world of evil and illness, earning her the title of the Messiah of Peace among certain Senshis. While her anime portrayal is relatively minor, it is assumed that Neo Queen Serenity possesses all of Sailor Moon’s powers, along with regenerative abilities, the capability to summon weapons and items, and adept use of the Millennium Crystal.

2. Sailor Moon  

Sailor Moon, also known as Usagi Tsukino, may not be the physically strongest, but she wields the ultimate power source, the Silver Crystal, and embodies the power of love, capable of healing and restoring. With attacks like supersonic waves, a magical kiss, and the Moon Tiara Boomerang, she displays formidable strength. Her courage and determination, driven by the belief in redemption, make her a standout character with evolving potential, transforming into different powerful forms throughout the story.

1. Sailor Cosmos  

Sailor Cosmos, the most evolved future form of Sailor Moon, is a mysterious and powerful figure. She possesses not only Sailor Moon’s abilities but also those of other Senshis, making her the ultimate Senshi. With the “Ultimate Lambda power of the Cosmos Crystal,” she can purify the Galaxy Cauldron and foresee the future, granting her a cosmic-scale advantage. Sailor Cosmos also exhibits various powers, including memory manipulation, time travel, defensive abilities like Silence Wall, and the ability to detect and use magic over vast distances, making her an immortal and formidable force in the Sailor Moon universe.
