In Act 56, while Eternal Sailor Moon and co. are busy with Mnemosyne and Lethe, we get this scene set in Crystal Tokyo:
At this point in the story, Mamoru, the Inners, the Outers, and Saturn have had their Sailor Crystals stolen from them and been killed by Galaxia and the Animamates, yet we are clearly shown six and only six coffins/beds, all occupied by the Inners, Mamoru, and Pluto. So what gives? Why did Naoko not include Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn in this scene? As far as I can tell, in none of the scenes set in Crystal Tokyo following their introduction in the manga do Uranus, Neptune, or Saturn make an appearance or get a mention.
Now, Saturn I can understand. In the Infinity arc, Pluto seems to suggest that Saturn was not originally meant to awaken, and the events being induced by the Death Busters that ultimately result in her awakening are some sort of aberration of time/destiny. Certainly if Saturn existed in Crystal Tokyo, Chibiusa would have already known her and been friends with her, so it makes sense that Saturn might not exist in Chibiusa's Crystal Tokyo. Similarly, if Uranus and Neptune existed in the future, she should/would have recognized them, and if the whole Death Busters thing was just some aberration of time/destiny, I suppose it makes sense that in the timeline whence Chibiusa hails, they too would not have awakened. But you would think that once she returned to the future she would have said to her parents, "Hey, I just met three new Sailor Guardians, why don't we track them down? They'd be a big help around here!" I mean, awakened or not, they and their Sailor Crystals still exist, so....where are they? What's the deal?
What do you guys think? Do Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn exist in the future and we just don't see or hear about them? If so, why? Where are they? What are they doing? And if you don't think they're supposed to be around in the future, is it due to the reasons I've given above or some other reason? Why would Naoko not want to include them?
Or maybe Usagi just got super conservative in her old age and decided to banish all lesbians from her kingdom.
