Some Words: Well, I will admit that Makoto got the last minute treatment! There was a moment where I didn't think I was going to have a damsel of the month this month but.... that wouldn't be my little bloodspot without this! So why oh why did I pick one of my least favorite Senshi to be in this Xmas list? Well let's just plainly go with aesthetics... she wears Green in her uniform. One of her signature moves has oak(tree) in it, and the fact that she's tall reminds me of the grand things that comes with a Christmas Tree. Okay so all those reasons are a far cry but for some reason, she just popped into my head! Regardless of the fact, she is still a pretty awesome gift under the tree and let's talk about why(most of the Senshis are fantastic gifts... if anything else "stocking stuffer gag" would be a nice little thing).

I swear I can never truly credit these guys. Wish I can, but I just always want to say that their art is amazing. This would be a nice Christmas Tree on the above picture!

Anime-Captor has a fantastic idea for a fic!

So Sailor Jupiter is the 'heavy hitter' of the Sailor Senshis. She is the 'brute' per say, and with thunder and a gigantic tree to back her up, it's no wonder she lives up to the gargantuan planet that she supposedly ruled upon! Sporting the pony tail brunette hair style, green eyes, and the problem with ex boyfriends, Makoto seems to the 'tough-girl', I'll fight any guy to defend mine and my friend's honor type of gal. Unlike Rei, she seems to be the 'hard knocker' when it comes to fists, and surprisingly, she's the cook of the team.

While she is the more 'masculine' of the Inner Senshis(of course Haruka of the Outer Senshis takes that award out of all the Senshis), Makoto does not lack the proper traits to be one of the more favored Senshi and for good reasons. For me, Makoto doesn't entirely exude the 'tom boy' look as much as her personality tries. She is just a 'strong' woman. In battle, she still wore the traditional short skirt that... well.. you know. Though I think there is some truth to the fact that she is brute strength, therefore she is less brains. While we all know that Mercury takes the cake on that, Makoto is definitely not the sharpest. She is after all a bit too gullible with guys from the episodes that made her prominent.

Speaking of Mercury, Loz made that partnership happen.

So if we are to go off the idea that Jupiter is the strongest in terms of physical strength, that just means she needs to be restrained more, right?

Least she has a crotch rope...

Now THAT is an absolute bondage!!! Even her hands are part of the whole deal!

She definitely has a lot of feistiness in her that makes her adequate for distressing scenes. And she doesn't have that same bouncy exuberance as the likes of 'younger' and 'smaller' framed, hyper girls, she just has that strong "pride" going for her. Though she does share her bonding time with her Senshi friends:

Makoto and Minako. YUM.

Though her solo perils will always be something to admire.

The picture above is one of the first Sailor Jupiter pics I have ever seen in the web. It's.... quite alluring even though the ropes are just insinuated. 

In conclusion, Sailor Jupiter may be a last minute pick, but I do have to say that she is still a nice present under the tree. While she may not be my favorite Senshi, she still has EVERY quality  to make her more than adequate to fill a damsel in distress role. Artists all over the web have also done her justice so.... no quarrels here! Belated Merry Christmas everyone! 

So... who's to the new year?
