"Sailor Moon" - Senshi Castles Quiz

Answer: Triton Castle

Triton is the largest of Neptune's moons. Nereid is another moon of Neptune, and Marina Castle is Mercury's.

Answer: Phobos Deimos Castle

Rei's castle is named after both of Mars's two moons.

Answer: Titan

Titan is, fittingly, the largest moon of Saturn. The other three moons listed are also moons of Saturn. In Greek mythology, they were three titan brothers. Prometheus is well known as the creator of mankind and the one who gave them the gift of fire. Epimetheus was the creator of animals, and Atlas, who had fought against the Greek Gods in the war between titans and Gods, was given the task of carrying the sky on his shoulders (in some versions of the myth, Atlas is said to carry the world).

Answer: Io

All of these are moons of Jupiter, and all are also women the Greek God Zeus fell in love with. Io was a girl who Zeus turned into a white cow to hide her from Hera, his queen. Hera, however, knew it was really one of Zeus's mortal wives. The legend is a bit lengthy, but it results in Hera sending a gadfly to sting Io (still a cow), chasing her out of Greece and all the way to Egypt.

In Egypt, Io was worshipped and made into a Goddess. Hera allowed Zeus to turn Io back into a human as long as he promised never to look at her again. Metis was Zeus's first wife, a titaness who was also the Goddess of prudence.

She was the mother of Athena. Leda is perhaps the most famous of the four; Zeus came to her as a swan and seduced her, and she laid two blue eggs. From one egg hatched Zeus's children, Helen (the future Helen of Troy) and her brother Pollux. From the other hatched the children of Leda's mortal husband, Clytemnestra and Castor. Europa was a descendant of Io, and she was the first Queen of Crete.

Answer: Mercury

Like Venus, Mercury has no moons, but "marine" means pertaining to the sea, so it has to do with Mercury's element of water. A spacecraft called Mariner 10 took pictures of the planet Mercury in the 1970s.

Answer: Miranda in "The Tempest"

Miranda is actually not the largest, nor even the second largest of Uranus's moons.

Answer: Charon

Charon is almost the same size as Pluto, and there is still some debate as to whether it is really a moon at all.

Answer: Magellan

NASA sent the Magellan spacecraft on a mission to Venus in 1990. It spent four years orbiting the planet. Vega, Galileo, and Mariner were other NASA missions that involved Venus.

Answer: The final battle with Nephrenia

When the senshi called upon the powers of their home castles to help Sailor Moon defeat Nephrenia, they collected enough power for Sailor Moon to become Eternal Sailor Moon, the second strongest form, next to Neo Queen Serenity, that was known of at that time (there was no knowledge of Sailor Cosmos until the end of the "StarS" arc).

Answer: Mars

Phobos and Deimos come from the planet Coronis, as revealed in the "StarS" arc.
