One of the problems with this sort of fic is that it's very generic.  It has
nothing to do with the particular series you used except that the characters
are Japanese.

For Sailor Moon, there's a much worse problem.  Chibi-Usa's mother has
conquered China, America, and every other place on the planet.  Chibi-Usa's
best friend is far more destructive than a nuclear bomb (it's just lucky that
her mother can recreate).  Heck, the Black Moon in the 30th century did as
much damage as the Hiroshima bomb.  And the Sailor Senshi fight enemies who
would conquer or destroy the world, just like Japan intended to during WWII,
and the Senshi to think that utterly destroying those enemies is fine--the
only reason that it's not an exact parallel is that Queen Beryl's civilians are
all youma.  Wouldn't Chibi-Usa's reaction to WWII Japan and Hiroshima be a
little different that that of the average Japanese person given these facts?
