Since Mamoru is the only one whose planet has to house billions of people its amazing he even has the strength to be Tuxedo Mask. Not only did he objectively have the worst childhood of the Sailor Soldiers second only to Sailor Saturn, as the only member whose planet is repeatedly destroyed by its inhabitants its no wonder he's perceived as weak compared to the others.

Every time big oil turns on their drills he feels a pain in his ribs. Oil spill in the ocean? Bronchitis. A forest gets demolished? Migrane. The man is chronically ill. He canonically has depression, had amnesia for most of his life after being in a car crash that killed both of his parents, and we don't even know who raised him.

He really should've been their guy in the chair. But no, the fucking space cats had that job.

He's Sailor Earth and we're killing him.

Also hms all also communicate with growling, purring, ect.

#but also this metal straw is heart shaped and rainbow colored so the risk is worth it
