Sailor Saturn is a female character in the Sailor Moon franchise. In both the original manga and the anime adaptation, she is depicted as a girl named Hotaru Tomoe. Hotaru is a shy and reserved girl who possesses incredible power as Sailor Saturn, the soldier of destruction. Throughout the series, she struggles with her dual identity and the immense responsibility that comes with being Sailor Saturn.
In the original musical adaptation of Sailor Moon, titled “Sailor Moon – La Reconquista,” Hotaru’s identity as Sailor Saturn is only implied. It is not explicitly shown or confirmed in the musical. However, her appearance and role in the musical align with her character in the original manga and anime.
It is worth noting that the musicals often take creative liberties with the source material, and certain details may be altered or omitted. Therefore, while Hotaru’s identity as Sailor Saturn is implied in the musical, it may not be as explicitly shown as in other adaptations.
Furthermore, the awakening of Hotaru as Sailor Saturn is also ambiguous in the musical. It is not shown on stage, and at the end of the musical, she is simply portrayed as a normal girl. This is different from the manga and anime, where her transformation into Sailor Saturn is a significant and pivotal moment in the story.
Sailor Saturn is traditionally depicted as a female character, both in the original manga and the anime adaptation. The musical adaptation of Sailor Moon implies her identity as Sailor Saturn, but it is not explicitly shown or confirmed in the same way.
