"Agent of Love and Courage, the pretty sailor suited soldier Sailor Jupiter! In the name of Jupiter, I will punish you!" — Sailor Jupiter's stock introductionSailor Jupiter (♃) is one of the five original Inner Sailor Senshi of the Solar System. Her civilian identity is Makoto Kino (Lita Kino in the North American dub). Sailor Jupiter is the third member of the Senshi to be discovered by Usagi Tsukino, the fifth and last of the Senshi to be discovered by the Moon Cats, and serves as the "muscle" of the group. She is also the tallest among the Inner Senshi. Her powers are associated with lightning, wood, nature, and plants. Wood, in Japanese astrology, represents strength and flexibility.

Throughout the various incarnations of the series, Sailor Jupiter was given various titles and/or referred to herself with various titles. They include: "Soldier of Thunder and Courage" and the "Soldier of Protection" under guardianship of the "Planet of Thunder."

AwakeningEdit

Makoto first transformed into Sailor Jupiter in Act 5. She was about to leave Game Center Crown and was getting a drink from a vending machine before a Youma disguised as Motoki Furuhata shows up and tells her that "he" loves her. Mamoru Chiba saw this and changed into Tuxedo Mask to go warn Usagi and the others. When Usagi and the other Senshi arrive, they see the Youma transform back into its original form. Usagi then disguises herself as a groom with her Disguise Pen, distracted the Youma, and then transformed into Sailor Moon, along with the others transforming too. When Makoto realizes that it was all a trick, she gets mad and picks up the Youma. Makoto transforms into Sailor Jupiter and destroys Nephrite with Jupiter Thunderbolt.

DevelopmentEdit

Like the other Senshi's earlier costumes, Jupiter's was fully unique. It featured buckles, long gloves, blue and yellow highlights, a bare lower torso, a profusion of thin, dark pink ribbons, a face-plate and communicator. In other artworks, the outfit looked the same as the final product outfit but with a couple of differences, such as the addition of a belt (which was later added in when the manga was re-released) and the fact that she only wore one glove.

Naoko Takeuchi later told the animators of the anime to make Makoto appear muscular and "a little meatier than normal".

TriviaEdit

The planet Jupiter is known for its horrific storms. The Big Red Spot is actually an anticyclone storm.
- This may be the reason for Sailor Jupiter's lightning powers.
- In addition, Jupiter, the king of the Roman gods, was known for throwing lightning bolts.
While Sailor Jupiter is part of the Inner Senshi, it should be noted that Jupiter is actually part of the Outer Solar System rather than the Inner Solar System.
Although generally the most aggressive of the Inner Senshi, she actually exhibits many femine qualities, specifically through her love of (and talent for) domestic activities.
Sailor Jupiter's Ayakashi Sister counterpart was Petz. Her Witches 5 counterpart was Tellu. Her Sailor Quartet counterpart was JunJun/Sailor Juno. The Shitennou general she's paired up with in Takeuchi's artwork is Nephrite.
Like the other members of the Sailor Senshi, she has a number of Image Songs. Her anime image songs include "Kissing in the Starlight" and "We Believe You".
Her blood type is O.
