Who do you think was the actress who matched her role best?

Sakaguchi Yumii – Sailor Galaxia

(HEY ITS TOMORROW MY TIME, I wanted to get this out before I forget about it XD)

I know, I know, another unconventional answer! There are a LOT of actresses I think matched their roles the best – Takagi Nao, Hosaka Yuko, Inami Tomoko (as Mistress 9), and the list goes on. But to me, the one person who really embodied their character was Yumii.

Now, this might be a surprise to people: Sailor Galaxia is my favorite Sailor Moon villain. Hell, she’s one of my favorite villains period. While I love Mistress 9 to pieces, Galaxia just has so much sheer depth to her. She’s basically destroyed all of the galaxy, save the Sol System; she has this great, powerful and imposing presence. Hell, she even successfully kills 90% of the main cast (sometimes more, depending on the source material!)! But she’s also a strong soldier. She sacrificed herself to entomb Chaos (going with the Myu and Anime plot here), but even when she’s the totally irredeemable villain like in the Manga, I still love her. 

To me, Yumii embodies everything that is Galaxia to me. I remember the first time I was watching Starlights, it was raw and I was kind of bored out of my mind. Nothing was happening and I had no idea what was going on. Then suddenly, Galaxia Gorgeous starts playing and I’m like “YEAH THIS IS MY JAM.” Then she came on.

I was enthralled almost instantly. 

The sheer presence this woman has is astounding! Even through the tiny TV screen I was watching it on, her commanding presence bleed through. She was strong, she was cold, she was powerful – everything that is Galaxia. Her singing is great and her dancing is phenomenal, and I love the smirk she does. And her as Chaos!Galaxia…oooohhhh XD

I could go on about how much I love her in this role, but I’ll spare you ;D
