Everyone loves Sailor Uranus. How can Sailor Moon fans not be obsessed with her? She’s such an unusual character to appear in 90s anime and, frankly, modern anime as well. Having a character who is so clearly queer-coded, and not just coded, but actively gay in the show is really important to a lot of people who watch the series, or watched it as they were growing up.

But there are definitely serious issues with Uranus as a character that make her less cool than everyone gives her credit for, despite her possibly being one of the most popular Sailor Scouts. Here are five ways that Sailor Uranus is overrated and five she’s actually underrated.

10 Overrated: Didn’t Want To Be A Sailor Scout

Haruka did pretty much everything possible to avoid being a Sailor Scout. She didn’t want to admit to or acknowledge her destiny, and she actively avoided Michiru for a long time in order to not have to face it. While she’s otherwise kind of a daredevil, who likes to race cars and get into trouble, the fact that she decides that she doesn’t want to do this thing that can save the world when she has the ability seems selfish.

9 Underrated: Race Car Driver

All of the Sailor Scouts have dreams for what they want to do when they’re adults, and they all similarly have different skill sets and hobbies. Haruka’s is by far the coolest. She drives a great convertible (and sometimes a motorcycle) which she and Michiru regularly roll up in, and her big dream is that she wants to be a professional race car driver. If there’s anything that makes her seem way out of the other Sailor Scouts’ league, it’s this fact.

8 Overrated: Attacking Usagi

Uranus is not very trusting of the Inner Senshi, as discussed further below, and that often means that she intentionally leaves them out of plans and tries to keep them out of the way. One of the ways she does this is by manipulating Usagi into meeting up with her so that she can attack her and steal her brooch.

The idea is that if she can’t transform into Sailor Moon, she can’t disrupt her plans. This is such a violation of trust from Usagi, who is nothing but sweet and kind to everyone, Haruka included.

7 Underrated: Sense Of Style

Haruka isn’t as overtly girly as the rest of the Sailor Scouts. In fact, pretty much the only time she’s seen in a skirt is when she’s actually in uniform as Sailor Uranus. Otherwise, she seems like the pinnacle of 90s fashion, with amazing slacks, lots of awesome sunglasses, and a series of blazers worth killing for. No wonder all of the Sailor Scouts are always fawning over her.

6 Overrated: A Constant Flirt

When Haruka first meets Minako and Usagi, she is a huge flirt. She makes the girls blush, gets in their personal space, and even kisses Usagi. But the fact that she flirts like this while also being in a relationship with Michiru is pretty scummy. Plus, she’s just leading these girls on and toying with them because it amuses her, which is never a cool way to be.

5 Underrated: Iconic Relationship With Neptune

Haruka and Michiru’s relationship in Sailor Moon is the definition of relationship goals for a lot of people. There’s so much about their relationship that is so romantic. Michiru was able to wake herself as a Sailor Scout because of her psychic powers, and she woke Haruka as Sailor Uranus, which means she did something that no other Sailor Scout was able to do.

Their identities as Scouts are linked because of this, and their personalities, which are so different, make them seem like such a good and interesting fit.

4 Overrated: Keeping Everyone In The Dark

Sailor Uranus is pretty mysterious. She doesn’t trust the Inner Senshi, as discussed further below, so she often doesn’t let them know of her plans. But she’s also not super forthright with her friends or even Neptune. She seems like she keeps things very close to the vest, even her feelings, and it’s sometimes hard to get a read on what she’s thinking. This can be cool for a while, but it ultimately feels a little annoying.

3 Underrated: Being A Mama

After Sailor Saturn is reborn as an infant following her attempt to end the world, Uranus and Neptune, with Pluto’s help, immediately take up the responsibility of looking after her. The fact that these actual teenagers just quietly take on the responsibility of becoming the foster parents of a newborn infant, just because someone has to– and this sense of responsibility in someone so young, especially someone like Uranus who has something of a rockstar-life sensibility– is admirable.

2 Overrated: Not Trusting The Inner Senshi

Uranus is presented as being pretty mysterious when viewers first meet her and Neptune. They don’t want anything at all to do with the Inner Senshi and don’t trust them to actually get the job done when it needs to get done. It’s a frustrating turn in a series that is all about friendship. The Inner Senshi get so much accomplished because they’re willing to trust each other and to constantly put their lives on the line to look out for each other. Uranus’ inability, and unwillingness, to acknowledge this about them no doubt makes everything much harder.

1 Underrated: Being A Lesbian

As discussed above, Sailor Uranus is a gay member of the cast. She is constantly flirting with all the Sailor Scouts, has a girlfriend, and, maybe most importantly, isn’t very feminine. It’s very easy to create gay characters who otherwise exist along “acceptable” gender lines, but Sailor Uranus keeps her hair short, wears the boys’ uniform at her high school as opposed to the skirt, and talks in a manner that actually leads some of the other girls to think she’s a boy at first. Her queerness is so apparent onscreen, and that is genuinely awesome.
