Although, Aino Minako didn't know what was in store for her once she accepted being a sailor senshi, she  had a view of her past life and also, a glimpse of who she's going to be with in the future... Many things were revealed about Aino Minako when she was still known as SailorV.  This was because Artemis needed to convince the young Aino Minako that she has a duty to fulfill.  In volume 12, Artemis thinks, "Luna?" he says. "That's a familiar name. I wonder how she's doing now... Sorry, Mina. Just for one night, can I think of the secret allies I can't tell you about yet? Yes... Telling you that is still a little while off in the future."

Minako had many visions of Usagi and also Serenity. In volume 6, Minako-chan sees Usagi with Naru-chan. Usagi says that she wants to play the Sailor V Game. Minako-chan was also confused when she had visions of someone calling out to her to help her.  At first, she thought that the one calling out to her Kaitou Ace since the vision wasn't entirely clear.  At Volume 15, she had many visions about her past life.  As Adonis/Kaitou Ace tells her and she then realizes that it wasn't him that she had to protect, it was Serenity, of course.

And we see another glimpse, this one is Hino Rei.  Being the clairvoyant person that she is, she can feel that something is worng, 'ominous' to be exact.  She is with friends telling her to never mind it since it was 'dirty and not ominous and she shouldn't enter such a place'.

In volume 15, Minako had a glimpse of Ami when they were both in the south Terminal of the Narita Airport as she was heading to China.  Ami was saying goodbye to her mom who was heading for some scientific convention.  Minako-chan is relieved to find out she's not alone.

This is in the last volume of SailorV manga (volume 15).  And isn't it a coincidence that she and Mako-chan went to Tokyo?  Here, Minako-chan tells Artemis that, "This will be hard all by myself," says Minako. "I should get some backup. I need collaboration!" "And information!" says Artemis.  The end of Sailor V, but the start of a new life, for Sailorvenus!!

She not only had glimpses of the other senshi but also a glimpse to her old life as a Princess of Venus and also a glimpse to Kunzite, her enemy in the first season of Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon. "My self before now has all been before awakening," she says. "A temporary form, for my true mission." "I must search for my precious allies. They're in Tokyo. I feel it. Perhaps I am awakening now."  "Together, we will defeat the Dark Kingdom and protect this planet! Then, we must find that most precious person. That is why I was born." **Pictures of the glimpses of the senshi (Usagi, Rei, Ami, Makoto) are borrowed from Mr. Return's Sailor V Manga Gallery and the Translations are from Manga of Takeuchi Naoko.**
