What
is a fanlisting?
A
fanlisting is just what its name suggests - a listing of people from all over
the world who are a fan of the same person/TV show/subject, etc. In this case
the fanlisting is for fans of the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon pairing Zoisite
and Venus.
Why Zoisite and Venus?
A
lot of people just dismiss this pairing as they have few acts where we see
real hints that possibly, in the past life, there was something more between
them. Let's look at the facts:
1.
Zoisite was *obsessed* with Sailor V. Okay, you could argue that his mission
was to kill her when she was supposedly the Princess and that he was just
carrying out orders, but Zoisite never obeyed Beryl. He did exactly what he
liked, even when he was under her influence, and he never appeared before
her when he was brainwashed. Instead opting to tell Nephrite things that Beryl
would want to hear, because he knew that Nephrite would repeat exactly what
he said to the Queen. Why was he obsessed with V? Because he recalled something
of a past that they might have shared together, perhaps?
2.
Venus killed Zoisite in Act 12. Yes, I consider this evidence that there was
something more between them. Think about it. Zoisite was pretty much defenceless
when she zapped him with her 'crescent beam' attack. The appereance of Tuxedo
Kamen had wrong-footed him so really she had no reason to kill him (as she
would know that, after remembering the past life he would pose little threat
to her or the other Senshi), except that she might have recalled something
about their past together and killed him because the feelings that he envoked
in her frightened her.
3.
Act Thirty Five. Zoisite confronted Venus in the parking lot of the hospital
after she was having treatment because she tried to follow Mamoru. They fought
briefly and their battle ended when Zoisite teleported behind her and pressed
his sword to her throat, whilst holding onto her. Okay, Venus looked scared,
but she didn't seem as terrified as she should have been. Perhaps she knew
that he wouldn't hurt her? Also, Zoisite's sword hand is shaking slightly
in one shot, indicating that he didn't really want to hurt her.
4.
Again, in Thirty Five, there is a real empathy between them when they are
talking about the past life. Judging from the looks they give each other,
there had to, at sometime, been something more between them and they definetly
seemed to connect on a level that went beyond protecting their respective
leaders.
5.
The music box. In order to make Usagi forget about Mamoru, Zoisite gave Venus
a music box that, when listened to, would make a person forget about the person
they loved. Venus would have to be the one to play the music to Usagi as it
would not work when the heart was guarded. In return, Venus promised to help
Zoisite protect Endymion. When Kuroki Mio made her move to capture Endymion,
Venus had opened the music box and, upon hearing that Mamoru was in danger,
Usagi tried to go after him. Forced to choose Venus abandoned Zoisite in favour
of running after the Princess. The look that passed between them before Zoisite's
hologram disappeared was too meaningful to just be passed off as a look of
disappointment or even hatred. I think, that in the past life, any relationship
they might have had always came second in favour of their duties towards Endymion
and Serenity. It's really kind of sad when you think about it and both of
them are so loyal that they had to put aside their own feelings concerning
each other. Possibly this had ended a relationship before. Venus betrayed
Zoisite so why didn't he go after her with a desire for revenge? Because his
feelings for her stopped him? Or perhaps he was too hurt by her betrayal?
6.
Act 44. Zoisite's final Act. There was no Venus/Zoisite interaction in this
Act, but there is still strong evidence of a relationship between the two.
Why? When Zoisite was fatally wounded by the Metallia Youma, Venus had one
of her spells and collapsed at exactly the same moment. Coincidence? I think
not. No matter what sort of relationship they had once had, in those precious
seconds they appeared to have a Psychic Connection. I'm a big believer in
Psychic Connections (owing to having a few myself!) and what are the chances
of both of them collapsing at the same time? Venus must have, subconsciously,
felt that something had happened, despite, in later Acts, never referring
to his death. And why would she? Venus isn't exactly the 'wearing my heart
on my sleeve' type and neither is Zoisite, which was why they didn't get together
in the series. Someone really ought to have banged those two's heads together,
ne?
I
think I've covered most of the evidence and, in my opinion, there is definetly
enough there to support this very kawaii pairing. If anyone has any more evidence
that I have missed, feel free to email
it to me and I shall add it to this page ^-^
