Kino Makoto / Sailor Jupiter
This here is Kino Makoto, known as Lita in the NA version. Personally,
I have absolutely no idea where they got the name Lita from, but hey, whatever
works, right? I like this picture here, because it shows the kind of tough
girl she can be. But Mako-chan's more than just grit and nails. She's got
a heart of gold, and steel, and she's always there in the toughest of situations.
It's this total kick-butt attitude that makes me respect her as much as
I do. Some other things about her: she's the tallest of the inners, and
she really knows how to cook. Sometimes she packs too much lunch, and shares
it with Usagi, who is usually ecstatic because Usagi has a tendency to
be a major pig at times.
Kino Makoto's alter ego is Sailor Jupiter, master of thunderstorms,
pretty much. She has some totally awesome electrical attacks, like Wide
Sparkling Pressure and Jupiter Supreme Thunder and the such. But she also
has an attack called Jupiter Oak Evolution, which I don't understand a
stitch, but it makes for a really neat animated gif. Like I said about
Makoto, Jupiter is this ruff 'n' tuff girl who knows how to get her way,
even if involves a knuckle sandwich or five. Even when she gets thrown
headfirst into a phone booth in the R movie, she's still up and kickin'
as long as she's able to. She's completely loyal to Sailor Moon and the
rest of the Senshi, even though she can sometimes go head to head with
Uranus. But all together, she's definitely vital to the Sailor Senshi.
