Sailor Moon
| “ | In the name of Christian Chandler's heart, I shall punish you! | ” |
| Chris-Chan Sonichu to Mary Lee Walsh. | ||
Sailor Moon ((美少女戦士セーラームーン Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon, known as Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon in the re-release) is an anime that Chris became interested in after discovering that his gal pal Megan Schroeder enjoyed the series. Chris then began to rip off things from the series in a desperate attempt to impress her enough to make her want to bob up and down on his duck. In case you couldn't tell, it didn't work.
Influence
Sailor Moon's influence can clearly be seen in his artwork from around issue four of Sonichu. He began drawing his character with big, shiny animu eyes around this time, as well as creating the character of Sailor Megtune, which is nothing more than Megan dressed in a sailor fuku. Crystal also wears a sailor fuku in her transformed state.
Additionally, around Sonichu #4, Chris starts referring to himself as the "Warrior of Love and Honesty", much in the vein of Sailor Moon's own post-transformation speech, which he also rips off with the line "I will punish you!"
Chris's transformation into Chris-chan Sonichu also is "Sailor-Moon Style",[1] in that they focus on individual aspects of the transformation itself, and usually require an item. This was not lost upon the creators of the audiobooks, in which the Sailor Moon theme served as the background music to the transformation scenes.
Wes-Li attacks with a "flame sniper"; Sailor Mars has the same attack with the exact same name.
Chris believed for the longest time that staring nightly at a poster featuring Sailor Moon and Chibiusa will banish homosexual urges,[2] but the whole premise of Chris enjoying Sailor Moon is highly ironic considering the show is renowned for having many gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender characters. It also doesn't help Chris's image that the two characters both happen to be fourteen and six years old, respectively.

- The Sailor Moon TCG was released in 2000 by Dart Flipcards Inc. We know Chris got into this game through Megan, who was a big fan of it, but he has never referenced to it very much outside of the emails. During the Julie Saga, Chris had a bunch of Sailor Moon cards up on his website.
