| I'm pretty sure it was just an idea of having the inners being paired off with the generals. Which I heavily support. |

| with Venus and Kunzite there's more support for that actual relationship which is mostly found in Sailor V Manga (supported by Adonis's accounts and also supported again in Sailor Moon during a flashback when Venus went to get P. Serenity and Kunzite was there with Endymion when it happened, also causing Venus to blush as well when she saw him.)
Then added a hint with Rei/Jadeite as he mentions there's something special about Rei. (However this could be taken differently as Rei has yet to become Sailor Mars so what Jadeite could've been referring to was that she was an unawakened senshi. It's just too ambiguous a statement to be anything concrete. )
Everyone else was an idea that just never actually happened. (Especially with Mercury and Jupiter as they had Zero interactions and Zero implications for any of their relationships with the Shitennou).
I, myself, don't really support the Shitennou x Senshi mix because there's no evidence of any relationships between them in any context save for Venus/Kunzite and PGSM Mercuryx Nephrite. |

| Quoted from Mangastyle. She seemed to believe they were a past love. - Quote :
- "This is the title page for the conclusion of the first series of Sailor Moon. It had a great deal of impact on the first series. Probably because the four couplings on the right side were very unexpected. I was thinking of love stories of the previous lives of these couples. I'd like to be able to draw that someday..."

| That might be true, Star, but the comic book and anime (and most of PGSM) shows otherwise. Especially in the projects that Naoko was involved with personally, she could've had a little more input there. Or made another silly comic about it, but other than that it's kinda being told there is vs actually seeing it happen.
I don't really put much stock into it canonically because there's no chemistry or evidence. (I really honestly can't see Zoisite and Ami together. It just..doesn't seem possible somehow.) |

| I have to admit the only time I really shipped the Shitennou and the Inner Senshi was in Starlights Ryuusei Densetsu (SeraMyu), but that's because the two actors and actresses for the Shitennou really gave them more life and personality.
Other than that I like the idea more of the pairs being partners in protecting their Prince and Princess, more than romantically connected. |

Zoisite well not so much, even not not brained washed, his personllity would not match... and i reason i like SM alot is the diffrent couple, it's uqinc - AkikoUranus wrote:

| Me too. Even though it wasn't in the manga, Zoisite and Kunzite's relationship was utterly beautiful in the same way that Haruka and Michiru's were which is the same as saying (to me at least) Usagi Mamoru and Chibiusa/Helios.
It's pretty much one of the most satisfying relationship (Aside from Nephrite and Naru) in the anime that I thought was done well.
how Kunzite never dismisses Zoisite and his feelings and actually comforts him and how Zoisite does look to Kunzite a lot.
(have to admit PGSM did make me whine about that.)
But yeah with Zoisite and Ami..I can't picture it at all, even in the manga. Zoisite's too open with his feelings and seems more implosive all around (barring PGSM). While Ami's much more cool and too gentle in comparison.
Nephrite.. eh.. Anime wise I'll alwyas see him with Naru, Manga wise there's really not much to say. It's like he's a blank sheet of paper. Somewhat clever but no personality to speak of. I don't know if he'd mesh well if at all with Makoto or be able to match her needs. that kid from Mamoru's school would be a better match there. |

| I was this on tumblr
"" something that was set up for ceremonial purposes given with our roles we would have likely been Princess Serenity’s bridal party and I could see them being the groom’s men, if weddings occurred in that fashion at the time."
it can make since, brides maids are often paired up with a grooms men for who they walk down the isle with. |

| Hmm. I always wondered this myself. I feel like, if anything, the senshi x shittenou thing was more of an idea. Naoko, I believe, used her art to kind of like "experiment" if you will, and just drew to see what it would look like/realize a "fantasy" image of sorts. I mean for example, you have a rather suggestive picture of Minako grabbing Usagi's boob from behind. Does that mean Usagi x Minako is a thing? Not necessarily. Naoko just loved drawing her senshi in a "sexy" fashion.
Going on what people say about Codename: Sailor V (I haven't personally read it myself), the there is minimal evidence to support Kunzite x Minako/Sailor Venus, just like there is minimal evidence to support Ami x Nephrite in PGSM, and even, as us crazy people believe, Rei x Minako in the manga/PGSM. Naoko left a lot up to the imagination, since she, as far as I/we know, never directly stated "this is what is and what is not", beyond really the realm of Usagi/Serenity and Mamoru/Endymion (and of course HaruMichi). |

| IMO, pairing up all of Generals with all senshi is too convenient. In Silver Millennium times it also takes away from Serenity and Endymion being unique with interplanetary romance. And I as well can't see Ami/Zoicite under no circumstances. However, pairing senshi/general can be good, if done individually and not as part of package. Like Ami/Nephryte in PGSM - I wish it became canon. |

| I agree with most people on here, definitely Ami x Nephrite in PGSM. There were always those looks between those two. Ami pitied him whilst as Darkury which strengthened his feelings for her but she never had any reasons to return them feelings. But the pairing would've worked pretty well in my opinion.
As everyone says for Ami x Zoisite, it does seem implausible but as most people say these days. Opposites attract, which could've been the case for these two if it ever did happen. As the same can be applied for PGSM Ami x Nephrite.
So there is no evidence really in any franchise to suggest such pairings. And I read Codename: Sailor V some time ago and don't remember any feelings etc, between Minako and Kunzite. I may re-read it later though. I thoroughly enjoyed that manga. |

Like where to start with development of this relationship. Little Venus->Kunzite moment (though in the past) is also in manga. But there Mars kills Jedaite and Mako Nephryte, so these ships may be declared sunk. |

| Any new thoughts on this after la reconquista? I know Myu aren't cannon, but clearly there are others thinking about the generalXsenshi pairings as being plausible! |

yea... it's kind of cute in La Reconquista i never thought I'd say those words, XD but unlike the last musicals where it had that paring, Ami went with it, instead off running away from zoi-chan the whole time... |

Just a note, Myu IS cannon, it just has its OWN cannon that it follows in the SM universe. Much like the anime has its own cannon and the manga and PGSM and so on... |

No, seriously. I thought it would be a fun challenge to write. Because I think it could work if done right. I'd go with the angle of Zoisite, as a good guy, being a lot like Usagi. He's very outgoing and sweet, although he's not as innocent as Usagi--in fact, he's kind of like Chibiusa in that he can be very mischievous. He'll call Ami "Ami-chan" and demand that she pay attention to him and do things with him. And Ami realizes that she really likes spending time with him.
Honestly, Rei/Jadeite seems like it would be a lot more difficult. |
