Many fans will agree that Sailor Uranus is one of the best characters in all of Sailor Moon. For not only does Sailor Uranus have incredible powers and a cool sword, but her inner strength and beautiful heart are just as remarkable.
But for every beautiful action of Sailor Uranus', she's made just as many missteps. And from rude antics to aggressive acts, there are quite a few in the classic anime adaptation. But which are the things that fans can't ever forget?
10 Leaves In The Middle Of Conversations
Haruka is more mature than a lot of the Sailor Guardians - except when it comes to patience. And the worst examples of such behavior happens whenever Haruka decides to leave a conversation. Especially in her first interactions with the very talkative Usagi.
One of these moments occurs when Usagi finds Haruka watching her girlfriend, Michiru (aka Sailor Neptune), practicing the violin. But, as Usagi becomes mesmerized by Michiru's skills, Haruka abruptly leaves. She says she's "a little annoyed" by Usagi's gloating (along with other troublesome thoughts). And though Usagi finds it hard to get mad at her, Haruka's behavior comes off as quite rude.
9 Being A Show-Off
In her first actual appearance, Haruka challenges Minako (aka Sailor Venus) to a car racing video game. Minako, taken aback by Haruka's good looks, accepts the request. As the game starts, Minako seems to be in the lead. But it becomes clear that Haruka is holding back to let Minako gain some speed, since she already knows she will (and does) win.
Fans will never deny Haruka's incredible racing ability. But this moment shows that Haruka can sometimes be a bit of a show-off. And though Haruka makes it up to Minako by complimenting her, it doesn't make up for her unfair advantage at being a fantastic race car driver in real life.
8 Being A Big Flirt When She's Taken
Fans of Sailor Uranus will never deny how much of a big flirt she can be. And though it's fun to watch her try to make every girl fall under her spell, it can get to be a bit chaotic - especially when she flirts in front of her girlfriend, Michiru.
One moment occurs when Haruka is sick in bed with a fever in the SuperS television special. A maid comes to take care of her, but rather than it being a casual interaction, Haruka uses her charms on the young girl. But as soon as Michiru comes into the room, Haruka blushes in embarrassment from getting caught. And though Michiru is often accepting of this behavior, Haruka knows better.
7 Getting Sailor Moon Handcuffed To Her
During Sailor Moon S, Sailor Moon wants to protect Sailor Uranus and Neptune from a tire-themed monster, while Sailor Uranus doesn't want Sailor Moon to get involved. This disagreement causes the monster to put a handcuff spell on the both of them - making it near impossible to attack their foe.
And though the inconvenience allows the two girls to bond on an emotional level, it also created a lot of drama - including Sailor Neptune almost being killed. If only Sailor Uranus was able initially to let her guard down and trust Sailor Moon, they both would have been able to avoid such a dramatic annoyance.
6 Pushing Away The Other Guardians
Throughout the majority of her time in Sailor Moon S, Sailor Uranus has a hard time putting her trust in the other Sailor Guardians. For she and Sailor Neptune (due to their knowledge of the world's gruesome fate) feel that only they can trust each other to find the talismans and save everyone.
But on many occasions, the other Sailor Guardians put their hand out to Sailor Uranus. But all too often, Sailor Uranus would push Sailor Moon and the other Inner Guardians away - creating more drama for everyone in the process.
5 Hesitant To Become A Sailor Guardian
With terrifying visions of the future, Haruka becomes hesitant to take on her Sailor Guardian destiny. And no matter how many times Sailor Neptune attempts to communicate with her via dreams and in-person conversations, Haruka keeps pushing her future away.
But once she witnesses Sailor Neptune risking herself to protect Haruka from a monster, she finally understands what road she must take. And when she does, she takes on the emotional and physical burdens of her new Guardians life. But not alone, since she has Sailor Neptune by her side.
4 Jealous of Popular Men
The cast of Sailor Moon knows Haruka is hugely bothered by popular men. This fact becomes evident in Sailor Stars, when Haruka catches becomes the charming Three Light's member, Seiya, in Michiru's dressing room. The act happened because Michiru was trying to gain information about Seiya. But Haruka still can't let go of her envy.
And though it is normal to be jealous, especially of someone as charming as Seiya, Haruka should know that the other girls (especially Michiru) are devoted much more to her than any new addition to their friend circle.
3 Encouraging Crushes
With Haruka being a flirtatious individual, she's often shown not wanting to break any young girl's heart. Such an act occurs in episode 92, when Haruka tells Minako to not give up on her affections towards her.
But Haruka often does this when she knows that Michiru is her true love. And though fans can defend her actions as being romantic, Haruka's continuous flirting comes off more like a boost to her ego rather than an act of genuine emotion.
2 Giving Up On Her Dream
Haruka often mentions how her dream was to become a professional race car driver. But now that she's a Sailor Guardians, she feels she can't pursue that goal and instead must focus on saving the world. But everyone becomes sad whenever Haruka brings it up.
Though Haruka's dedication is admirable, the entire Sailor Moon franchise often reflects on the issues of giving up on your dreams. And though Haruka might think she can't do both tasks simultaneously, she has a great potential to do so.
1 Taking Usagi's Transformation Brooch
In episode 110, Haruka and Michiru invite Usagi to meet them at an aquarium. But the meeting turns out to be a set-up - because Haruka wants to take Usagi's transformation brooch from her so that Usagi won't get in the way of their goal.
Not only is Haruka manipulating Usagi, but she's also betraying her trust. And when paired with the aggressive nature of the moment, it indeed shows Haruka (though wanting to protect Usagi) at her worst.
