“After the End<\/a>” is a Neph\/Ami short story set after the end of the series (but before the Special Act). I am planning on writing a number of other stories set in this continuity (the first one of these is “Reunion<\/a>“, which is a Zoi\/Mina fic), so I wanted to give some more details about the universe.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Stories set in this continuity are written with the assumption that the Shitennou were reborn as humans just as the Senshi were in Act 49. I believe that this actually is the case in canon, although I know many people disagree with me. If you want to read a lengthy argument as to the whys and hows of this theory, you can do so here<\/a>. Reading that rant might be a good background to reading the fic, although it’s totally not necessary.<\/li>\n
  2. In this and other fanfics set in this continuity, the Shitennou’s human names are:
    \n

    Jadeite = Jun Kiiroi
    \nNephrite = Naito Akai (his given name was borrowed with permission from my sister’s story “    Darkness Emerging<\/a>“)
    \nZoisite = Zero Shiroi
    \nKunzite = Ken Kuroi<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    The way I thought of these names is kind of a funny story: when I started this fic, I was sitting there trying to think of what they should go by on Earth, and I thought, “Oh, I’ll give them corresponding colors for their last names” (Red, White, Black, and Yellow). So I looked up the colors and I was thinking, “Wow, I’m so original.” Well, I later realized that my “clever” name choices were actually the same names the Shitennou-police had in Act Zero. In my defense, I’ve only seen Act Zero once and it didn’t have subtitles on it, so I wasn’t really paying attention to their names (I also didn’t know back then that they were named after colors… the things you learn!). There’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.<\/p>\n

    For their given names, I chose names that started with the same letter as their Shitennou names (“N” for Nephrite, “Z” for Zoisite, you get the picture). I didn’t use “Shin” for Kunzite because, since he has his memories now, I honestly can’t see him wanting to use that name (or acting the way Shin did, haha).<\/li>\n

  3. For this and the other fanfics in this continuity, I have tried to do a lot of research so that it won’t seem like I’m so obnoxiously clueless about Japan. I felt like in some of my earlier PGSM fanfics, they were acting much too American. I really want to make something that is believable for the culture they’re in and would be as believable as a real episode of PGSM, but not being Japanese and never having been there, I can’t claim to be an expert. Hopefully I didn’t screw up too bad. Please forgive me if I did.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you have any questions about anything you encountered in the fic, feel free to comment here and maybe I can answer them! XD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
