[OOC][PLOT] The Fourth Thread of Planning for Arc 1 - Arrivals

[robkelk]

Sometimes, it seems like every displacee had heard of Sailor Moon before arriving in the Metacontinuity. So I went looking for which shows the Senshi could have heard of, and discovered one that's already been called for a residence and was aired at the right time for Usagi to have seen at least the end of it in its first run when she was a few years younger. And it ties into what was an unwritten scene for the Halloween Party, too.

"I'm Ayumu Kasuga, but everybody calls me Osaka."

Usagi's eyebrows headed for her forehead. "Kasuga? Like in Kimagure Orange Road?"

Osaka nodded. "Uh-huh! Same kanji and everything!"

"Does that mean you're an esper?"

"She couldn't be," Ruiko complained. "Dual Skill, like the Kasuga family had, is a myth."

"Er..." Everyone turned to Kazari. "You were in a coma when Kiyama-sensei demonstrated Multiskill."

Osaka looked hopeful. "That being the case... how do you become an esper?"

So, if Osaka gets esper abilities, it's Sailor Moon's fault in-universe.

And, yes, I double-checked - they do use the same kanji.
