Indeed. But I'd guess they go with the one time stream theory in Sailor Moon.
Otherwise Pluto really wouldn't need to give a damn about protecting the time
stream, since there would be infinite possibilities, so the right one would
happen.
Which reminds me: if there were an infinite number of time streams
in SM, would that mean that there is an infinite number of Sailor Plutos?
In that case the time gate would to be crowded at times. So that's one more
reason to belive that there's only one time stream. ^_^
Sorry, your argument is invalid.
What makes you think that a time gate can access _all_ existing time
streams? Remember, the time gate is a _time_ gate, not a dimension gate.
This would mean that all those alternate worlds are mutually isolated from
each other, so even if there are other universes, it wouldn't matter to a
given universe's Sailor Pluto, because she can only visit her own. I mean,
even if there are other planets, we should take care of our own, right?
Same principle at work here.
You're confusing alternate worlds and alternate timelines.
Alternate world is something where everything is different (like for example
our own and that of Sailor Moon) while alternate timeline is something
where things turned out a little differently. (Like that Chibi-Usa didn't fall
ON Usagi, or that Jadeite managed to kill the Senshi in that battle at
the airport)
Thus, I don't think Pluto would be that fanatical about preserving the timeline
if there were an infinite number of timelines. She'd could just choose to
live in
the one where everything turned out right.
Okay, well. This might in turn mean that she'd have to interfere if the future
she wanted wouldn't happen without her help, but then again maybe she didn't
need to interefere or maybe... *deep breath*
Still, if there are infinite number of timelines, there should to be one
where everything goes like Pluto wants it to go without her lifting a finger.
Or that's how I like to think about it. ^_^
Even if SP can travel to other universes, she would still care about her
own because this is the only universe she's sure is Senshi-friendly! After
all, she might flee destruction of her own universe, only to find herself
in an "Urotsukidoji" (sp?) universe... wearing an abbreviated sailor suit.
Even if you _are_ a magical girl, this still sounds like a Mistake.
Travelling into other universes and other timelines is a different thing.
Or maybe it isn't if timelines are infinite and everything began from the same
thing (ie. Big Bang) but evolved differently from there. Still, she could
skip into timeline where everything goes right.
And keeping your own apartment in good repair is much less aggravating than
looking for a new one every few months.
All depends on how you look on time travelling.
No, even if she could go to another universe, Sailor Pluto would still be
obliged to give a damn about her own. For better or worse, her universe is
the one she has to give a damn about.
<sigh> Is it really that important a thing? When talking about time travelling
and dimensional theories, there's no right or wrong, since there is no way of
proving anything.
If you want to discuss this further, make it private, okay?
