You say Takeuchi had been seen as a hot tempered diva with a princess complex, but considering some of what you described about her peers here, it sounds more like old Japanese men in the 90s couldn't cope with a confident, talented, independent woman.

People can bag on her all they want about her princess/diva complex, but they definitely should rewatch the part about how hard she had to fight to be respected in the industry with all the misogynistic old men blocking her at every turn.

Plus, it sounds like she had to be extra assertive so her creative vision could come through and be respected. By all means, it sounds like, if she thought something was a good idea (like Osano's idea of, instead of making the series in space, to have the girls fight in sailor fukus because it would be cute), she incorporated it to her vision. If you get pushback on even something like your protagonist's hair color, that kind of says a lot. Even then, she took that advice even if she disagreed, and made Usagi blonde.

because it's way more uncommon for women who are socially expected to be more docile than men

Their relationship itself could become a series

​@@Speed001 I wonder if she meant having sex with a man or a woman or both.

bro fumbled so hard it's a miracle she didn't leave him omg. who says that???

[@JohnnyWalker-333]

Yup he’s weird, got milked by another man and brought her back married her 💀

[@jamesdanielski7347]

I worked with Bandai 10+ years ago with the start of the Sailor Moon Figuarts line. The execs from Bandai didn't hesitate to bash Takeuchi as controlling and hard to deal with. She was choosing the release order of the figures as well as the characters, according to them, and would reject Bandai's ideas often. From everything I've heard, she sounds like quite a personality, and she probably is hard to deal with on a business level. That said, she is no doubt creative. As a huge fan of her art and style, I'd rather know her through that and keep my dream of the amazing person who created it alive, rather than see her bad side up close.

[@Stasy809]

Bro must have been on whatever passes as good zaza in the land of the rising sun in order to have said some brainroted shi like that about marriage, whatever deal he made with the gods to get her back must be discovered

[@beowulfmacbethson9675]

Bro just called Togashi ugly. I know he lollygagging too much but you didn't have to do him like that 😭

[@shounenking313]

Bro I mean what he said was true but doesn't actually matter since Naoko doesn't care or go for looks at all.

If you think he isn’t ugly then that’s on you bro, but you can keep those preferences to yourself 😂

[@JohnnyWalker-333]

Togashi is still a weirdo for marrying a woman who has a boyfriend right after they broke up lmao. got milked by somebody and married her

[@Kitty-hf6vq]

Takeuchi had a PhD and made herself a billionaire with Sailor moon, the diva complex isn't even delusion, it's rightfully earned bc there isn't anyone on the same level as her

[@sonicfraisheya4028]

these two marrying each other could become a whole ass manga on its own, and i would read the shit out of it.

[@AmbiguousMan724]

I thought the same while listening, would make a great romantic comedy.

Let's be honest if the fans didn't already think they were married a fumble that big really should have ended in two less very wealthy kids on the Japanese census...

as a naoko takeuchi fan, this is my FAVORITE topic to complain about hehe all my dudebro friends get mad at me when i push off watching hunter x hunter but it's mostly all playful. i read togashi's manga level e because naoko said it was he favorite and i love scifi and i sometimes wonder why togashi wasn't just a novelist. there would be panels full of words which is silly but i see why naoko fell for him

[@nineama]

Imagine creating sailor freakin moon and NOT having a "princess complex" 🙄 she's simply too iconic

[@lavenderly_]

Togashi almost fumbled the bag but somehow catched it before it hits the floor, Respect.

He still fumbled ngl, got milked by rando and married her back 💀

[@ezanawright7971]

@johnnyWalker-333 he didn't he still get her back after of what he said like bro what are waffling about 💀

[@fan4every1lol89]

Love this story. One of the craziest in animanga culture

[@scarletm9091]

Great video, but i think you could have went a little in further about the conditions of society that make it more likely for the media to see a young rich indepedent woman as "princess syndrome" or "hard to work with"...i mean,she might actually be a devil or , she might just be a strong woman who was stereotyped , we would never know.

[@MS-je7sn]

Trust your fellow man and move on with life

[@gngrblls2thwall]

"we would never know" - I mean, we could just listen to her describe herself as a sadist and know

[@kausthita11]

No way you made a video on this, a well received surprise I love you so much

[@Cashmoneez]

Funny that in an industry known for for anti social introverts Takeuchi one of the most influential female mangakas was a straight rockstar of a manga creator

[@basichumanrights.]

How tf did he fumble that bad with the response 😭🙏🏻

She knows what she wants and she got it!

[@Apt23-v8u]

Well as most as being with a guy with a crazy adicction to work

[@SonicdaShapeshifter]

Holy crap tho. It doesn't sound like Sailor Moon's author was entitled or had a princess complex, it sounds like she was surrounded by incredibly stupid men. Men who were upset by her having a spine when it comes to her integrity as a writer and character designer, and men who spread rumors when she didn't easily fold under their demands. And the hunter x hunter guy didn't sound like he understood how marriage WORKS with that proposal... yikes. I'm glad everything worked out for the two of them in the end.

[@Apt23-v8u]

Well if you want to call that a relationship

[@SonicdaShapeshifter]

@@Apt23-v8u ikr?

[@Sakurai892]

I would say he didn't have no rizz/charm she just saw him and claimed him

[@Sernival]

If anyone's seen the Chapter Black or Chimera Ant arcs, they were based off feelings Togashi had during the 90s, and I'd guess that satisfied the dark, mental hang-ups Takeuchi was looking for in men.

[@scribbled1990]

While I do love Takeuchi and all shes done, I'd say my manga author female crush is Rumiko Takahashi she's made so many bangers that got me out of my autistic funk and say "You know what, human connection might not be so bad"

[@Apt23-v8u]

Is the only person that can make me forget My hate in humans

There is no way he almost fumbled💀

Omg thank u for making this video, I've always been so fascinated by these two, they are incredible authors and definitely characters themselves 😂 Thinking about her work, this description of Takeuchi makes a lot of sense to me ahah Love these two, I'm glad they went on to be supportive of each other 💖

Heh, to be fair Nisekoi is a very, very low bar. :) One of my favorite shonen romance series is "A Silent Voice" that was published in Bessatsu Shonen magazine. Others were "Your Lie In April", "Quintessential Quintuplets", and "Kaguya-Sama Love Is War" that were all published in shonen magazines.

[@connergalles7106]

The type of history most people want to hear about Manga Authors

[@sloantempest9421]

I heard that Togashi said that if he was to die, Takeuchi would take over Hunter x Hunter

[@meep9963]

They are so cool. It goes beyond words how cool these two are. Great video

[@armorbearer9702]

It sounds like the old guys wanted to stick to old tropes while Takeuchi wanted to try something new.

[@jakehr3]

Slight correction. 3:38 From sources i could find, Sailor Moon was said to be making $250 million USD annually through merch by 1995 That much in 2024 dollars would be $550 million per year. I assume we are using old revenue, and then using modern currency conversion, but the issue is that both the Yen and dollar have inflated, so we are actually understating how much ¥25B was in 1994 if we just look at the nominal amounts with modern currency conversion. As an example, you show a 1993 merch book. It shows an item for ¥3,999. That translates to $36 in 1993 USD. That is around $76.29 adjusted for inflation.

[@bleachblewawaykurdt]

Dude if anyone deserves to have a princess complex it is ABSOLUTELY Naoko Takeuchi

Takeuchi understands how the world works. Togashi... not so much, lol.
