Oh my god, I haven't been on here in such a long time but I just thought up this amazing theory while re-reading the last manga volume and I had to post so gomen for the sudden abruptness! 

Anyways, I'm just thinking... Sailor Senshi are apparently born from the Sailor Crystals within their Star Seeds that come from the Galaxy Cauldron right? So its like the planet's crystal manifests itself into a human warrior in order to guard the planet, correct?

Then I've thought back how Mamoru supposedly has amnesia of his parents since they died in that car crash, but then again even when he regains his memories of his past life he STILL doesn't remember them!

The rest of the girl's parents are barely ever mentioned, especially the Outers. The ones that are mentioned seem to all have dysfunctional/broken relationships, like they're not very close/divorced/died/etc.

Usagi is the only one we know for sure had a mother in the past, but was Queen Serenity like a "real mother?" Or was she perhaps just a previous incarnation of the Goddess Selene that asexually reproduced via the Ginzuishou?

Maybe, Senshi aren't born the way normal human beings are, because they're literally manifestations of planets? Like, the planet's essence obtaining human form through the Galaxy Cauldron in order to protect itself?

This could explain why the girls seem so disconnected from their parents in their current lives, THEY WERE NEVER MEANT TO HAVE PARENTS!

And as for Mamoru, assuming we go with the theory that he's essentially the male version of Sailor Earth, what if that whole car crash accident thing was just a false memory in and of itself and he never even had parents? I mean, the King and Queen of the Golden Kingdom are never even mentioned in any past flashbacks! Maybe during the reincarnation process Mamoru's Golden Crystal just re-manifested itself in the form of a child with false memories and Mamoru was found on the streets and taken to an orphanage?

((Also maybe the reason Usagi and Mamoru were initially so drawn to each other was because their respective crystals were calling to each other? Like it was the Universe's destiny for the Moon and Earth to unite and rule together in harmony? It was more a marriage of the two Crystals and Planets then two people?))

What does everyone else think? I'm seriously thinking that Sailor Senshi really aren't meant to have parents, or even develop like normal human beings, they're literally the planets, just in humanoid form!

...whoa.  Mind. Blown. Seems pretty sound to me. I'm gonna go ahead and kind of adapt this as my own head cannon :p

The only thing I can even think of is what about Small Lady? She has Endymion and Serenity as parents, so is she a reincarnation like Serenity who just happens to have parents or is she not the same as NQS and Serenity?

Aww thanks! :3

As for Chibiusa, well remember she doesn't have an exact carbon copy of either the Silver Crystal or the Golden Crystal, she has her own Sailor Crystal: The Pink Moon Crystal. This leads me to believe that she was always meant to be born and to be a symbol. A symbol of the two planets, Moon and Earth coming together to form a whole new planet! Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if the Kingdom that Princess Lady Serenity eventually rules over isn't actually Crystal Tokyo, but a whole new planet created from the Pink Moon Crystal that has aspects of both the Earth and Moon!

And the fact that she was reproduced normally from two parents might be the reason though that she ages so slowly and her powers were sealed for some time. This is because a new Sailor Crystal or Planetary Crystal, wasn't used to being created this way and so had to adapt itself to fit its new creation.

Chibiusa was always meant to be an enigma though, remember what the King said about her in the manga? She's a child of both the Moon and Earth and there are still a lot of things we don't know about her... But that's my theory regarding her!^^

What about Pluto?  Setsuna specifically is the only other person in the past to have a parent mention- Which was chronos.

There are two possible theories on this:

1. Like Queen Serenity, Chronos which was originally the Sailor Crystal of Pluto was able to reproduce asexually, remember they only mention ONE parent for Pluto, not two.

2. It might be just a title thing, not referring to an actual parent. Sorta like Venus has the title of the incarnation of Aphrodite. I think it just might be their titles based on mythology.

Ultimately after having finished the manga a second time and at a much older age, I firmly believe the theory that yes, the Senshi and Mamoru are all essentially, humanoid versions of planets. And the production of these Planets the Sailor Crystals all come from the Galaxy Cauldron, which is where planets go to get remade, destroyed, new ones emerge, etc. The Galaxy Cauldron is Outer Space's version of "The circle of life" and essentially, "God."

In fact, I'd like to go further with this. The reason that these planets manifestations, the "Sailor Senshi" fight for love, justice and the preservation of life is meant to be symbolic and tied to our own real-world situation. Without planets, all universal life would cease to exist, the planets are our very sustaintion of life. So just like the "Senshi protect all life in the universe" we, in our real world need the planets protection for the continued preservation of life.

Makes sense to me

in the manga it sounds like the 4 generals were re born as it says they didn't remember who they were before beryl re-brained wash them, so in that case, they would have had parents then and also when the moon kingdom days since they were from earth so Endymion had them too. and , if serenity had a mom (no where about of her dad) then the others girls would have them.

I didn't read the whole manga yet, but I'm confused? It's a amazing theory, but I'm not quite sure if I fully agreed with.
Minako does have parents. They aren't mention in anime, but in manga specially Minako's mom is mentioned (and I think Minako dont get well with her mother). 
Jupiter's parents are a vivid memory for her, so I think they did existed.
Amy: Her father is mentioned, but her Mom is a real thing.
Rei: Her mom died long ago, but she does have a grandfather, who Rei lives and works with. And her father is politician that she doesn't get along well.
Hotaru: She did have parents - The mother died at that weird accident and her father was turned into Germatoid. Or as I always remember him, the mad scientist.
But you theory could perfctly fit with the 3 remaining outers: Neptune, Uranus and specially Pluto. The 1st 2 have "patrons" any family was never mentioned as well as from where all their money comes from.

I think they do, thats one reason why I love PGSM. I really wish there was an AU ep with Mamoru and his parents before the car crash. Ami has her mom, who is always working at the hospital, Rei has her dad, who is a jerk and Mako is the only one who doesnt have parents, well her and mamo both lost their parents at a young age.

Minako has parents in Sailor V.

My take on the OP is that in Silver Millennium, the Senshi didn't have parents and because of this, that is why they are so distant from their Earth parents when they are reborn in the present day.

I thought all the senshi had parents...isn't that logical?    They're supposedly in their teens living with them (esp. on the first SM anime series). I haven't watched PGSM, Artemis...so thanks for that info. The anime, manga and PGSM seem to provide different answers for this same question.

As what I recalled, Makoto's parents were died because of the airplane crash.

I WROTE A GIANT REPLY AND HIT NEW THREAD ON ACCIDENT. 

In the anime after the girls find out about their past lives, Minako confirms that they are normal human beings. That their parents are their true parents. All the Inners have parents, but Usagi and Minako are the only two who have traditional families. Usagi has both a mother and father and a brother. Minako has both a mother and a father, but is an only child (they only appear in the Sailor V manga). As for the other three. Mako lives on her own due to her parents dying in a plane crash. Ami's parents are divorced and she's an only child. Rei lives with her grandfather in the anime and the manga. Her mother is dead and her father is alive, but out the picture (in the manga and PGSM). PGSM goes into more detail about her home life, but it is never shown if she has a grandfather. As for the Outers only Hotaru is shown having parents. I like how Sailor Moon shows different types of families. It allows fans to be able relate to the characters. My parents are divorced so I am to relate to Ami. However unlike her my father is involved in my life. 

Despite the star seed concept the senshi and Mamoru are normal human beings. They were born like any other human. Personally I really don't like the idea of star seeds. I don't like idea of people being born out of thin air. Plus you need to consider in a big series like Sailor Moon family members will be barely shown.  The girls are the main focus not their families. Even Usagi's family rarely shown near the end of the anime.

Yes, pretty much what I was thinking. To add to that, I view the Senshi part of the girls as reincarnated spirits/souls from Silver Millennium. The girls are themselves with their new lives and personalities, but they have Reincarnated souls that possess the power of the planets. It's sort of like the star seeds are more like a power up on a normal soul.

Sailor Venus does, but we only see small segments of the in the Sailor V comic. Mamoru's parents died in a car accident, Makoto's parents died in a plane crash, Ami's father is a deadbeat painter that left her with her rich doctor mother, and Rei's father left her at her Grandfather's temple after her mother died. And Hotaru's mom died in the same accident that forced professor Tomoe to make the contract with Pharaoh 90. We have no idea's about Haruka, Michiru, or Setsuna's parents. I assume Setsuna doesn't have any, being a time lord and all. Haruka and Michiru are still up for debate.
