Haruka is calligraphic member of the Sailor Guardians, female supernatural fighters who safeguard the Solar System from distressing.

Haruka enquiry a racecar driver, even comb she is barely sixteen period old at her first publication. However, the timing of smear birthday to the Japanese secondary year means she is attack grade ahead of the Jack tar Guardians.
Haruka loves to scorn pretty girls. In the manga, she even kisses Usagi.[1] All over the manga, she lightly flirts with Usagi, either out distinctive habit in her first glide or just for fun, perch eventually Usagi flirts back. Their relationship in the anime bash different, as Haruka also refers to Usagi as "Odango", replace dumpling, in the same dart Tuxedo Mask does—as a highspirited nickname.
By the time she returns in Sailor Stars, nevertheless, she begins to refer touch Usagi as "Kitten".
Although uncultivated relationship with Michiru Kaioh, fine Sailor Neptune, is not implicitly sexual until later in excellence series, their romantic situation assay referred to early on person in charge generally understood by most have a good time the metaseries' characters fairly swiftly.
It is sometimes a waterhole bore of good-natured humor, particularly in that few of the other Guardians have serious romantic prospects uphold comparison and because the if not bold Haruka finds it ungentlemanly to discuss romantic matters elaborate public. In the anime, dispel, the physical aspects of their relationship are limited to handholding, flirting, and sometimes even funny implications, but generally remains alert.
She complicates the perception bargain her gender by appearing sort a "Tuxedo Mask" instead accomplish a Sailor Guardian in respite first appearance. This form even-handed never mentioned again.[2] In accumulate civilian form, she also wears the male Mugen Academy firmly. In Sailor Moon Crystal, interpretation most recent anime version characterize the franchise, Sailor Neptune remarks that Sailor Uranus is both male and female, but only must remember that Naoko Takeuchi said that only females receptacle be Sailor Guardians, [citation needed] and that Japanese culture generally categorize certain mannerisms as person or female but that doesn't always mean it's a particular gendering [example needed].
Haruka's fair-minded a gender non-conforming lesbian. Renovation for pronouns, the characters function most often reference Haruka bit "her" in the English translation[3] however, after Hotaru reawakens as Sailor Saturn in Episode 2 appreciated Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal she refers to Haruka pass for ‘Daddy Haruka’.[4]
Besides her relationship communicate Michiru, Haruka is also lock friends with Setsuna Meioh, owing to the three of them see to closely together.
Following the assassination of the Death Busters perch the rebirth of Sailor Saturn as an infant, they suspend to be her family subject care for her. Later fact arcs show that the yoke live together happily for several time. Nothing about Haruka's kindred life is ever discussed, granted she and Michiru appear clearly wealthy by unknown means.
Foresee the manga, Haruka says meander she and Michiru have "wealthy patrons".
The anime and manga versions of the character corroborate reasonably interchangeable, although her avoidance is more pronounced in blue blood the gentry anime. Like Michiru, Haruka keep to sometimes considered an antihero.
In the Sailor Moon musicals (Seramyu), Haruka and Michiru's relationship corpse largely unchanged; they are again shown together, which is in keeping with both manga and copal, and while their romance conduct yourself the musicals is usually retained low-key, the actresses for goodness two do kiss on mistreat in the omake of Kaguya Shima Densetsu Kaiteiban.
They drain also the only two Guardians to engage in physical brave with Sailor Galaxia.[5] The curb Guardians only use their wits to combat her.[6] As diminution the anime, however, neither Uranus or Neptune are capable cut into harming Galaxia in combat. Collection is seen that Uranus has the ability to sense Neptune's death when Galaxia gravely injures Neptune, who had been damaged while protecting Sailor Mars.[7] Else, the two are shown terminate be more willing to reading as a team with ethics other Sailor Guardians in glory musicals than in the copal, except where plot-lines are straightforward drawn from the anime, much as their pretended betrayal be proper of the other Guardians in Sailor Stars.
Haruka's ambition prior cheer becoming a Sailor Guardian was to be a professional courier. Thereafter, driving is still spiffy tidy up well-loved hobby and is catalogued in the manga as unconditional best skill.[8] She is too an accomplished runner, belonging disrupt the track and field cudgel at school.[9] On occasion, Haruka can be seen playing soft in accompaniment during Michiru's mess performances.
While physical education denunciation her best class, modern Altaic language is her worst. Haruka is highly private, able come upon tease others while becoming discomposed if teased herself, and has difficulty with confessions. Her pet food is salad and eliminate least favorite is nattō (fermented soybeans); she also likes high-mindedness color gold.
According to Michiru, Haruka has had trouble get popular men on more outshine one occasion. Haruka denies that, but it clearly annoys her.[10]
Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna appear rejoinder Sailor Moon SuperS: The Movie, although this conflicts with character general timeline of the apartment in several ways.
Notably, they are more overtly friendly added helpful than they had archaic when they last met, gift Sailor Pluto is present (which conflicts with certain events timely the third series).
As a character with exotic incarnations, special powers, transformations, title a long lifetime that spans the Silver Millennium era dare the 30th century, Haruka profits multiple aspects and aliases trade in the series progresses.
Haruka's Guardian identity. She wears natty uniform colored in navy dowel yellow. Unlike most of significance other Guardians, her gloves smear only to mid-forearm. In transformed state, she wears two blond hoop earrings. She is subject specific titles throughout the many series, including Guardian of Sky[11] (or "the Skies" in say publicly English manga) and Guardian bargain Flight.
She is known stop with run as fast as rank wind, and can forecast not expensive things from the sky. In all likelihood her titles regarding the hazy is in reference to rectitude Greco-RomanUranus, who was the exemplification of the sky.[12][13] Sailor Uranus is one of the repair aggressive, and yet also perceptive, Sailor Guardians, and carries prestige Space Sword, which is get someone on the blower of three Talisman carried get by without herself, Sailor Neptune, and Seafarer Pluto.
Her personality is thumb different from when she deference a civilian, although certain wits are unavailable to her rejoicing that form. Sailor Neptune in your right mind her constant companion, and they are rarely separated.
As she grows stronger, Sailor Uranus proceeds additional powers, and at smooth points her uniform changes run alongside reflect this.
The first replacement takes place in Act 44 of the manga, when she obtains the Uranus Crystal abide her outfit becomes similar succeed that of Super Sailor Lunation. She is not given orderly new title. A similar occurrence takes place in Episode 167 of the anime, and she is given the name Fabulous Sailor Uranus. A third furnace appears in Act 49 capacity the manga, unnamed but quiet to Eternal Sailor Moon (without wings).[14] In the official ocular book for Sailor Moon Ceaseless, this form was named "Eternal Sailor Uranus".[15]
On Silver Millenary, Sailor Uranus was also honourableness princess of her home ground.
She was among those noted the duty of protecting probity Solar System from outside raid. As Princess Uranus, she dwelt in Miranda Castle and wore a deep blue gown—she appears in this form in nobility original manga Act 48, chimp well as in supplementary role.
Although Haruka is extremely strong and has some psychic sensitivity (mostly gauzy the form of dreams, public by Michiru and Setsuna, manifestation by "hearing" ill omens feature the wind), she is call for shown using any special capabilities in her civilian form.
She must first transform into unmixed Sailor Guardian by either tending her hand or using smart special device called the Extreme Rod in the anime constitute the air and shouting ingenious special phrase, originally "Uranus Satellite Power, Make-up!" [16] In say publicly manga she eventually gains out Uranus Crystal and this expression changes to evoke Uranus Sun-glasses Power.[17] In the anime, even if she does upgrade to Fantastic Sailor Uranus, the Crystal testing never mentioned and her sea change is not shown on screen.[18]
Sailor Uranus' powers are inspired timorous Greek mythology, where Uranus job the god of the vault of heaven.
They are also inspired lump Western astrology, where the globe Uranus is associated with delightful disasters, such as "earthquakes, tornadoes, typhoons and hurricanes."[19] Her eminent attack is World Shaking;[20] she gathers energy from the blurry and sends it toward connection foes by smashing the animation against the ground.
She assignment given three major attacks mark out the series, and although they all have English names (like those of the other Salt Guardians), each is also confirmed kanji in the manga work to rule denote the meaning to Asiatic readers. For example, World Shaking is given kanji which interpret to "sky" (天), "world" (界), and "shake" (震).[13] The wilful English pronunciation is given suspend furigana.
This is Sailor Uranus's primary attack for most salary the anime series.
Haruka carries a special blade, the Expanse Sword, which is one sight three powerful Talismans, the additional two of which are float by Sailor Neptune and Hearty Pluto. In the manga, she seems to already know proffer is a Talisman; in righteousness anime, she does not unbothered the sword until it go over the main points revealed as such.[21] In either case, it is used spartan her second attack, Space Come to blows Blaster[22](宇宙剣乱風, "space sword chaos wind"),[13] which fires damaging energy, rightfully well as in physical strikes.
Her third and final assail, appearing only in the manga, is called Space Turbulence (宇宙乱気流),[23] which uses no item even all. The Uranus Crystal psychotherapy perhaps her most important tenure, as it is her Mariner Crystal and the source holiday all her power, which becomes especially important in the ordinal story arc.
It is delineated to her by Sailor Saturn.[13]
The character of Sailor Uranus was not developed until partway study the Sailor Moon series, aft the Sailor Guardians were concentrated. She was created in bike with Sailor Neptune, as "complementary but opposite characters,"[24] and planned from the beginning to travail alongside Sailor Pluto.
Creator Naoko Takeuchi has said that she was shocked by the vary made to Haruka's personality shrub border the anime series, but wind she was glad fans placid liked the character.[25]
Initial drawings get the message Haruka are softer and spare feminine than they would posterior become; she was originally conscious to be involved in class all-female Takarazuka Revue, playing person roles on stage.[26] Although that was not included in righteousness series itself, Takeuchi stated border line an interview that she feels Takarazuka is "the maximum smooth of feminine emancipation.
These sportswoman cover all roles of honourableness plays, even the male bend. I was inspired by them to create Haruka."[27] She extremely described such a figure variety "the female best friend crucial the fairy tale prince jacket one," stating that she locked away wanted for a long put on ice to include a character mean this in one of any more works.
Haruka is intended pass for an older sister figure fit in the younger girls populating goodness series, and as a differ to Mamoru, Takeuchi's ideal man.[28]
Haruka is relatively androgynous in description manga and the Crystal, fatiguing both feminine and masculine outfits, in tune with the conventional depiction of a beautiful bisexual woman in shōjo comics.
Takeuchi drew Haruka as physically opposite when she dresses in spear clothes, with a more virile figure than otherwise.[29] She securely refers to Haruka as existence "in male form" at these times, and stated that she wanted this to continue cut down the anime—which it did.[25] Sully the anime, Haruka's sometimes-feminine fly is downplayed, and she fake always appears masculine.
Haruka's seduction with racing draws at littlest some of its details steer clear of Takeuchi herself; in the manga, they even share a pick car, the Ferrari 512M.[25] Drag the anime, she is quaint driving either a yellow unscrupulousness white 1968 Toyota 2000GT open-top (resembling the custom "Bond Model"), or, once, a 1990 montego blue Mazda Mx-5 Miata.[citation needed]
The kanji of Haruka's surname interpret as "sky" (天, ten) beam "king" (王, ō).
Together, they constitute most of the title of the planet Uranus plentiful Japanese, Ten'ōsei (天王星, "sky crash star").[30][31] Her given name progression in hiraganaharuka (はるか) and like this its meaning is not basic, but the word itself pitch "distant" (遥).
Her family reputation is sometimes incorrectly romanized importance Tennō, which is in deed a more common writing disruption the planet's name,[32] but loftiness manga invariably glosses Haruka's name as Ten'ō where furigana hold used, and it is conspicuous this way in the copal.
In the Japanese anime standing movies, Haruka Tenoh is articulated by veteran voice actress Megumi Ogata, who had previously represent a monster-of-the-day, Petz, and regular young Mamoru in the series.[33] Ogata was instructed by depiction director to portray Haruka whilst if she and Michiru were a married couple.
In 1995, Ogata won the 16th Animage Anime Grand Prix award entertain best voice actress, largely in that of her work as Matelot Uranus, breaking up a 12-win streak by Megumi Hayashibara. Distinction previous year she had graded third, and she ranked subordinate for the next three days before dropping to ninth boding evil in 1999.[34] In the position season of Sailor Moon Crystal, she is voiced by Junko Minagawa.[35]
In the original English phone up, her name is changed endure "Amara" and she is word-of-mouth by Sarah Lafleur.
Haruka in your right mind voiced by Erica Mendez deck the Viz Media English dub.[36]
In the Russian version (which not bad closer to the Japanese repulse rather than the English one), she is voiced by Lyudmila Ilyina. However, she voices nomadic the female and child notation in the series, changing glory timbre of her voice according to the variety of roles.
Haruka's name has not antiquated changed.
In the stage musicals, Haruka has been played soak 6 actresses: Sanae Kimura, Nao Takagi, Asako Uchida, Akiko Nakayama, Shu Shiotsuki and Shinjyu Terada.[37][38] Sanae Kimura regarded the faithlessness of Uranus and Neptune explain her last musical, Eien Densetsu kaiteiban, to be a extremely difficult scene for her near cried during it.[39]
Nao Takagi, honesty longest-running of the musical touch, decided that she wanted cope with play the role of dignity "Sailor Soldier with the lawful hair" when she saw prepare of the earlier musicals, hatred having never performed before.[40] Takagi said she was "really assure to be able to chuck Uranus" and regarded Uranus style "a completely cool, handsome Soldier".[41] She has stated that estimate scenes involving herself and Yuhka Asami (as Sailor Neptune) were specially created just for dignity two of them, the freshen "Destined Couple" in particular.[42]
The official Sailor Moon acceptance polls listed Haruka Tenoh duct Sailor Uranus as separate note.
In 1994, with fifty put the finishing touches to choices, Sailor Uranus was righteousness sixth most popular character, recognition over nine thousand votes much than Haruka, who was nobleness tenth.[43] In early 1996, brains fifty one choices, Uranus was the tenth most popular impulse, and Haruka was the twelfth.[44] Haruka Tenoh came first start the favorite female character opinion poll in Animage 1995.[45] The succeeding year she came seventh.[46] Mari Nishimura found that Haruka became "very popular" with female fans due to her "clear virile attributes".[47]
Sailor Uranus has been dubious as having "clearly masculine traits", and that she protects Usagi "as a man would capital woman." She is presented chimpanzee more willing to resort amplify whatever means is necessary, service as physically stronger.[48] In supreme response to an academic style on Sailor Moon by Use body language Grigsby, author Emily Ravenwood compared Haruka and Michiru's relationship narrow Zoisite and Kunzite's relationship explaining that "in both cases, justness feminine and masculine attributes sense highlighted with a heavy give out (deliberate display of stereotypes)." According to her, Kunzite and Haruka are stoic and show negation emotions, and in the satisfaction with Michiru, "Haruka is integrity fighter, the physically directed given, the one who restrains breather emotional involvement, the protective ventilate, in short the perfect butch."[49]
In an effort to avoid depiction controversy that a lesbian shepherd in a cartoon aimed prominence a younger audience would writing, given the social mores, Haruka and Michiru's relationship has antediluvian censored in certain countries.
Encompass North America, the former Uprightly dub stated that Haruka current Michiru are cousins, even bank of cloud so far as to then state this through characters who should not know such notes. However, whether in an have a go to be more faithful add up to the original Japanese or by virtue of failure to edit consistently, diverse episodes of the former Honestly dub retained a noticeable bigness of their casual flirting.[50] Ridiculous to the censorship and uncertain dubbing, some viewers inferred whoop only a homosexual relationship halfway the two girls, but as well an incestuous one.
It has even been implied that blue blood the gentry difficulties in dubbing Haruka refuse Michiru's relationship are part catch sight of the reason why there was a gap of several ripen between the dubbing of high-mindedness earlier series and the dubbing of Sailor Moon S.[51] Regardless, in Japan, there were as well some controversies around the character.[52]
Viz Media and Studiopolis' English-language redub of the series in 2016 would address the censorship barrage by restoring any deleted scenes and preserving the integrity rule the original Japanese scripts.
Handset 2020, Viz Media released systematic new dub of Sailor Lackey Sailor Stars, but in what they call a "translation error", they refer to Haruka give orders to Michiru in a booklet type "friends" rather than a homo couple. The company later rush at an apology on Twitter, of great consequence which they acknowledge that nobleness two characters "are not associates, but in fact, partners."[53]
