Do you think Sailor Moon at some point in her life as a Sailor Guardian ever tire of being the one that people call on in the end? I was thinking about all her battles in all her incarnations (anime, manga, musicals, live action) and wondered if she ever wanted to quit being sailor moon or run away from it all?

All that power and so many people after it, I think it could get pretty tiring of having a life where someone wants to hurt you or your friends just for the power alone.  

What do you think? Do you think it possible that Sailor Moon could become so drained or tired that she calls it quits or?

Let me know what you think!

Moderator's Note:

This is a reminder that all topics in the Theories, Debates, and Headcanons section must contain either [Theory], [Debate], or [Headcanon] in the title. Because this topic asks a question in order to figure something out and asks for others' ideas, it should be classified as a theory, so I have added [Theory] to the beginning of the title. Please keep this in mind for the future, as these tags need to be included in every topic posted in the TD&H section. I encourage you to read the Theories, Debates, and Headcanons Rules for more information.

Also, this isn’t a rule, but it might be helpful to include specifics about what the theory is about in the title--for example, making it into a question, such as "Did Sailor Moon Ever Want to Quit?" lets people know what the discussion is about and attracts attention. If you're not sure how to edit the title, hit the "Edit Post" button and scroll down to the "Options" section, where there will be an option to "Modify Topic Title". Again, this is not required, but it might be helpful.

Thanks for understanding!

Oooh this is an interesting topic. ^^

I think in the anime, there is a definitely a point which is at the end of the first season where she wishes for everyone to be normal girls and then the beginning of the R season where shes forced back into becoming Sailor Moon and was quite reluctant at first. I think thats part of her anime character development and works well. In the anime she really hated seeing everyone in danger all the time and generally at the fault of her own, heck by the end of stars she was about shut down and stopped fighting Galaxia.

Then we have the manga where I think if you are on the camp that Sailor Cosmos is a far future Usagi, she does actually give up. She gives up so much that she wants her past self to actually destroy the Galaxy Cauldron to stop all the wars (but also meaning to stop the cycle of death and rebirth).

So just by going on those two canons there, yeah I think there were times where she could have quit and had she not been so strong in heart and her desire to save her friends, she may actually have.
