In the classic 90s anime, Sailor Pluto was commissioned by Queen Serenity (mom
of Princess Serenity [Sailor Moon's ancient incarnation]) to guard the Space-
Time Door, which she is shown doing in the _R_ season, but she is later
allowed to leave, and thus shows up with a civilian form (Setsuna) in the _S_
season. One of the 3 rules given by Queen Serenity was that she could not
leave her post at the door. She does go on to break all of the rules, but
[according to Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailor_Pluto#Profile),
Neo-Queen Serenity (future Sailor Moon) **gives her permission to leave her
post**.

**But why? Does the door not need to be guarded anymore?** Is it **temporary
leave** and she will need to return eventually, or is it **permanent leave**?

In the manga, Sailor Pluto's guarding location might be located **outside of
time** (or is it located inside of the palace in 30th century Crystal Tokyo?),
so perhaps she could technically be there as well as have a 20th century
civilian incarnation that is at a point **inside of time** , so she could
apparently continue to guard the door _while_ she shows up in _S_ , the
_SuperS_ movie, and _Sailor Stars_ (but this is unrelated to why Neo Queen
Serenity would excuse her from her post in the classic anime).

In the **_Sailor Moon Crystal_ canon**, is Sailor Pluto able to and/or
permitted to leave her post at the door? Is this aspect **identical to the
manga version**?

Why can Sailor Pluto be away from the Space-Time Door?


In the Crystal continuity it is unknown as it is a work in progress, and did
not progress too much further from Pluto's introduction, so it is **unknown
for Crystal continuity** if she will leave the door or not. There is still no
canon material on the matter.

As to why she can leave the door, she has the power to seal off entire worlds
out of the fourth dimension (the time
dimension)[(ref)](http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSailor_Pluto%20&cd=7&hl=pt-
BR&ct=clnk&gl=br&lr=lang_en%7Clang_pt#Special_powers_and_items).

Since you need a time-space key to safely navigate fouth dimension, she could
secure all keys, lock the access to the place where the keys were stored and
leave for a short time.

Probably her leave cannot be defined as permanent or temporary. Since the
fourth dimension is outside normal time, she can safely exists in the fourth
dimension and outside it:

> BR&ct=clnk&gl=br&lr=lang_en%7Clang_pt#Profile)

Sailor Pluto's racial status is also subject of controversy. While
Endymion/Tuxedo Mask is from the Earth realm, Usagi/Sailor Moon is from the
Silver Millenium race, the other sailor senshi seem to be reincarnated humans,
Sailor Pluto is more of a goddess than a human:

> She is also stated to be the daughter of Chronos, god of time. (manga act
> 18, original anime ep. 82).

They made significant changes in Crystal from the original Sailor Moon works
(like giving Tuxedo Mask an attack), so I wouldn't expect it to be identical,
but to follow closely.

You can compare Crystal and the original making a parallel between the
original Yamato series and Yamato 2099 that aired in 2014. They tend to follow
the original work closely, but making adaptations and concessions to suit XXI
century's scientific and social developments.

In the manga, as she the daughter of the god of time, she has a strong
connection to the Space-Time Door and can control it from anywhere. She even
used an attack with the Garnet Rod, _Dark Dome Close_ to close the Door from
the 20th century. However, she sometimes cannot use this abilities, such as in
case of an eclipse - that's why the Dead Moon Circus arrived in time of an
eclipse. In Crystal, as it's following the manga, it might be the same.

In the anime, this wasn't explained too much, as Setsuna was a minor
character.

You're not thinking fourth-dimensionally. (As Doctor Emmet Brown says).

The Space-Time Door exists outside of the Physical Realm. And as the name
says, this door lets the people travel through Time and Space.

I'm sure that as Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask can find themselves at the
future, Pluto can Stand at the door and in XX century Tokyo at the same time.

Remember that she left the others at the end of the Death Busters Arch, to
help rise Hotaru Tomoe after she uses her Death Reborn Revolution Attack and
return as a baby.

The episode when she appears in front of Chibi Moon at the middle of Sailor
Moon S is the episode when Pluto mentions the permission that Neo Queen
Serenity gave her to travel at that time.
