Quote: Especially considering Makoto from the anime is drawn as a caucasion and presumably actual Makoto would be Asian.
While Moon, Mercury, and Mars are Asian enough (considering anime hair color rules), Venus is probably half Japanese/half English... Jupiter always came
across to me as not Japanese (even if its because of not japanese blood a generation or two back shining through). That would explain the height, why people
kept picking fights with her (she kept getting kicked out of schools for being in fights she mostly didn't start (I got the impression the rest were
jumping bullies in the act of bullying). She just lets off a giant 'Not one of us, not one of us' vibe that sets off the hostility the Japanese
historically have against those not Japanese. The only reason she got to stay in school in Juban is that she got in with an 'in' crowd and thus would
be considered off limits. Which is why Mercury wasn't hosed for being a nerd, she got into an 'in' group and was off limits. Granted Moon may
have an 'in' click largely because of ancient intervention of a certain life force eating gem stone, but they had an 'in' group to be part
of.
Without Moon, Mars and Venus aren't going to end up involved with the other's unless its because they are Senshi. Withot the Senshi factor they just
aren't going to fit in with the two outcasts of Mercury and Jupiter. Those two could end up together on the fringes, but just wouldn't end up with the
other two without an outside binding agent.
Seriously Jupiter is class 2-4 bait and in another series is unknowingly hoping Onizuka is going to replace her last burned ot homeroom teacher. So yes, I
do think she'd look white in a realistic live action.
