Mnemosyne
Mnemosyne (ムネモシュネ) was a planet mentioned only in the Sailor Moon manga and Sailor Moon Crystal. The only information given about the planet was that it was located somewhere in the Milky Way, and that it was the original home planet of Sailor Mnemosyne. This planet was at war with the planet Lethe, and was destroyed during Sailor Galaxia's conquest of the galaxy.
Trivia[edit]
- When Sailor Mnemosyne introduced herself to the other Sailor Senshi in Act 56 of the manga, the furigana accompanying the kanji "sei" (星) in "Mnemosyne-sei" (ムネモシュネ星) indicated that it should be read as the English word "star" (スター), leading some fans to speculate that Mnemosyne was an actual star in the astronomical sense, because these furigana never accompany the "sei" part in the Japanese names of the planets of the Solar System; the only other celestial bodies in the series to do this were Kinmoku and Lethe. In the corresponding scene in Sailor Moon Cosmos, Mnemosyne also said "Mnemosyne Star" (ムネモシュネ・スター) spoken in English. However, in that movie, the celestial body was depicted as a solid planet that burst into rocks upon destruction.
- In the English Eternal Edition of the manga, Sailor Mnemosyne also referred to her homeworld as "Mnemosyne Star" and a translator's note acknowledged that the celestial body was a star in the astronomical sense, but in the English dub of Sailor Moon Cosmos, she called it "Planet Mnemosyne."
