   That's open to interpretation, and something that I'm going to be   
   paying very careful attention to at the end of this season.  My belief   
   has always been that Sailor Moon is the Messiah, but we'll see if we   
   can figure out from the show.   
      
   The problem is that we don't really know much about the Messiah.   
   Supposedly the Messiah will save the world, has unlimited power, and   
   can do something with the sacred cup.  Both Saturn and Moon have   
   problems fulfilling that description.

   I'm not sure he was so lucky, though -- it was partly the fact that   
   Hotaru was Sailor Saturn that enabled her to break out of being   
   Mistress 9 and ultimately defeat Pharoah 90.  But it's been a long   
   time since I've seen the end of the season so I'll wait until the end   
   of this week. :)
