original.
	I've made a partial list below and would very much appreciate
additions/corrections.

Japanese and Original Translation	American Dub
			Character Names
Tsukino Usagi/Princess Serenity		Serena ??????/Princess ??????

                                                             Princess Serena.
                                                No last name given.

Kino Makoto				Lita ??????
Aino Minako				Mina ??????

No last names given.

Artemisu (?)				Artemis

Just 'Artemis' in both versions.

?????? Haruka				?????? ??????

Ten'ou                                  No dub name.

?????? Michiru				?????? ??????

Kaiou                                   No dub name.

Meiou Setsuna (?)			?????? ??????

Correct.  No dub name.

Tsukino Shingo				Sammy ??????
Gurio Umino				Melvin ??????
Furuhata Motoki				Andrew ??????
Kumada Yuuichiro				Chad ??????

                                        No last names given.

Beryl					Beryl
Metalia					?????? / Negaforce

Metallia.  Note that in the original, the giant 'Beryl' Sailor Moon 
fought at the end of the first season was Queen Metallia, who'd taken 
Queen Beryl's form, while in the dub, it was Queen Beryl enhanced by the 
power of the Negaforce.

Youma					??????

                                        'Negamonster,' usually.

			Place Names
Moon Kingdom				Moon Kingdom

In the original, the Moon Kingdom was called the Silver Millennium.

			Artifacts
Ginzuishou				Silver Emperium Crystal

                                        I think that was "Empyrian," an
                                        obscure word meaning something
                                        similar to 'Celestial.'

Also note that the Ginzuishou was often referred to as the 'Maboroshi no 
Ginzuishou,' or 'Phantom Silver Crystal.'

??????					Moon Sceptre

The first one, used for the Moon Healing Escalation, was the Moon 
Stick.  The second one, used for the Moon Princess Halation, was the 
Cutie Moon Rod.

??????					Moon Tiara

Don't think it really had a name.

??????					Star Locket

Ditto.

??????					Luna Pens <I particularly
						  loathed this one>

Transformation pens, I think (Henshin no Pen?)  You mean the ones that 
they use to transform, right?

??????					Disguise Pen <and this>

Not sure on this one...

			abilities
??????					'Disguise Power'

'Moon power, ... ni nare!'
('Moon power, turn me into ... !')

??????					'Moon Cosmic Power'

No real equivalent - Princess Serenity remained silent mostly on these 
occasions in the original.

'Shining Aqua Illusion'			??????

First, I think it's 'Shine Aqua Illusion.'  And the dub version is 
'Mercury Ice Storm Blast.'

'Sparkling Wind Pressure'		'Jupiter Thunder Crash'
'Supreme Thunder'			'Jupiter Thunderbolt Zap'

Not quite.  'Supreme Thunder' = 'Jupiter Thunder Crash.'
           'Sparkling Wide Pressure' = 'Jupiter Thunderclap Zap'

'Venus Love-me Chain'			'Venus Crescent Beam Smash'

No.  'Crescent Beam' = 'Venus Crescent Beam Smash'
     'Venus Love Me Chain' = 'Venus Love Chain Encircle'

--------------------
	Well, that's all I have.  Having not seen the Manga I've had to derive
the Japanese and original translations *entirely* from fanfic.  I imagine
there are a tremendous number of mistakes and omissions and I would very much
appreciate any help.  Also I need any info anyone can give me concerning the
outer Senshi (don't worry about spoilers) and any info concerning
personality/continuity differences between the original and the dub.

Well, just as a note, you might try some of the Sailor Moon web pages out 
there - Hitoshi Doi's page at http://www.tcp.com/~doi has a wonderful 
page on the original attached, and a quick search on Yahoo will get 
dozens of pages devoted to the American Sailor Moon.  That said:

Sailor Uranus (Ten'ou Haruka): Fairly tall blonde girl with short hair.  
Most of the time, she looks and acts very like a guy - so much so that 
the Inner Senshi, on first seeing her in normal clothes, thought she was 
a guy (and Usagi and Minako got crushes on her.)  She enjoys racing 
motorcycles, athletics, etc, and is in love with Sailor Neptune.  As 
Sailor Uranus, her skirt is dark blue and her bow is yellow, and she 
wears shorter gloves than the Inner Senshi (to below the elbows) and 
short blue boots.  Her attack is 'World Shaking,' where she gathers a 
ball of energy over her head, then slams it into the ground, where it 
shoots towards the foe, slowly rising.  Later, after she gets the Space 
Sword (one of the three Talismans), she can use the Space Sword Blaster 
attack.

Sailor Neptune (Kaiou Michiru): Elegant looking, with slightly wavy 
aquamarine hair.  Highly intelligent, but a bit aloof, and often 
competitive.  She enjoys swimming, and is deeply in love with Sailor 
Uranus.  As Sailor Neptune, her skirt is dark green and her bow dark 
blue, and the collar/choker/whatever around her neck has a blue gem set 
in a golden cross at the front.  Her gloves are thes ame length as Sailor 
Uranus's, and her shoes are basically high-heeled ballet slippers.  Her 
attack is 'Deep Submerge,' where she propels a blue ball of energy on a 
jet of high-pressure water to her opponents.  Later, when she gets the 
Deep Aqua Mirror (another Talisman), she can use 'Submarine Reflection.'

Sailor Pluto (Meiou Setsuna): She is the mysterious keeper of the portal 
of time, and not much is known for sure about her.  She helped Chibi-Usa 
go back in time, and kept in contact with her through Luna-P, Chibi-Usa's 
toy/pet.  Her hair is long and black, and her uniform has a black skirt 
and bows.  She carries a long staff with the Garnet Orb (the third 
Talisman) on top.  Her primary attack is the whispered 'Dead Scream,' 
which sends a devestating ball of energy at her foes.  She also has 
control over the gateway through time.

Sailor Saturn (Tomoe Hotaru): Hotaru's story is complex - friend of 
Chibi-Usa, posessed by an evil entity, turned into an apocalyptic savior, 
etc.  It's too hard to summarize here.  Basically, as a normal girl, 
she's weak and frail, but has a mysterious power to heal people.  If you 
want to describe her as Sailor Saturn, it's probably best to get a picture 
of her - she's got numerous subtle differences from the others, including 
her age (a bit younger than the Inner Senshi, but older than Sailor Chibi 
Moon) and her weapon (the Silence Glaive).  At the end of Sailor Moon S, 
she was reverted to infancy, and adopted by Haruka and Michiru, who are 
now raising her.  In Sailor Moon Sailor Stars, she reverted to her older 
age mysteriously...  (Her attack, BTW, was the 'Death Reborn (Ribbon?) 
Revolution,' which could literally destroy a planet.)

And, of course, Chibi-Usa can become the brilliantly (some would say 
sickeningly) pink Sailor Chibi Moon, with the extremely ineffective Pink 
Sugar Heart Attack, and (as Super Sailor Chibi Moon) the more effective 
Twinkle Yell, which summoned Helios the Pegasus for Super Sailor Moon's 
attack in Sailor Moon Supers.

Thanks again for any help,

Hope this helps.
