Given that she looks pure Japanese in PGSM (seen a handful of episodes), it makes sense that the senshi are in fact Japanese. Although I do like the idea that
Venus may have some American ancestry in there somewhere, unless her having blonde hair is a reflection of her origin, and their parents' genes actually
have no say in what they look like. Because as any geneticist could tell you, if her mother and father both have dark hair, Usagi doesn't have blonde hair
unless he's either dyeing it, or one of them isn't the natural parent.
So it could be argued that where the Senshi and Moon Princess are concerned, their parents have no bearing on their appearance. Which is probably a cause of at
least a few raised eyebrows in their extended families when large get-togethers happen.
I think of all the interpretations, Makoto might be most amused by PGSM, simply because it portrays Luna as a stuffed toy.
But with the interference effect running, Makoto might record on tape as having different facial features, and maybe a few centimeters more height than she
actually has. It would mean that even if you had her standing right in front of you with a picture in hand, you're likely to dismiss the idea that
she's the same person.
Also, noticed in the chapter, I wasn't entirely clear about how Makoto was handling the job she's taking. I'll cover that in greater detail in
Chapter Seven. But basically, she's applying to one of the construction companies. And with one of Ami's programs running, she can have it write up
such an amazing resume for her that she's an automatic 'in'.
As for actual training... how hard can it be to use a boomer-musculature-based power lifter (think the giant machine from Aliens). Makoto by this point is an
immortal protector of Crystal Tokyo and probably much older than she appears. She's probably got similar experience at *some* point in her vast career to
draw upon.
