[edit] Summary

Nephrite, Zoisite, Jadeite, and Kunzite; characters from the Sailor Moonmanga, as drawn and copyrighted by Naoko Takeuchi. This image is a scan from Act 13 of the manga and was found at The Oracle. The text was removed by the uploader using GIMP.

[edit] Fair use for Shitennou (Sailor Moon)

This image is being linked here. Though the picture is subject to copyright, I, Masamage, feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

it is a low-resolution scan from a Sailor Moon art book;
it does not limit the copyright owners' rights to sell the wider copyrighted work in any way;
it provides an illustration of these characters in the series (and in a particular medium), and is to be used solely for this purpose.
