Sailor Noob is the podcast where a Sailor Moon superfan and a total noob go episode by episode through the original Sailor Moon series!
This week, Mako pushes herself to the limit in search of power and spiritual balance! Makoto retreats to a mountain temple to train as a terrifying new daemon stalks her mentor and Usagi and friends get caught in the crossfire!
In this episode, we discuss Buddhist priests and monks, the Buddha Shakyamuni, the Nihon Shoki, zasu or "head priest", zazen or "meditation", Nichiren Buddhism, the Sōhei warrior monks, yamabushi or "one who prostrates themselves on the mountain", Shugendō or the "path of training", Shinbutsu-shūgō, "temple families", shojin ryori or "devotion cooking", daruma dolls, and daruma otoshi. We also talk about mountain ninjas, a newsflashback, saying "forte" wrong, travel eating, making temples accessible, Buddhists loving American mid-century poets, Saban Moon BS, socially conscious hecklers, Eatapalooza, The Usagi Diaries, five against one, joining a tradition for the sects, ReiKoto, a Four Rooms scenario, and a little Buddha worship for a treat!
