* There's a simpler explanation, which is that Minako has been working on her own for a good year already. Her mindset in Act 8 is based in spending that time as the only person around with the power to stand up to the Dark Kingdom. She tries to leave the other senshi out of the fight to protect them, not because she's specifically thinking of them as unready so much as because she's simply not used to the idea of having allies who can fight alongside her instead of people who need to be kept safe.



Minako practically ''lives'' there, and the girls were quite surprised when they saw Sailor V's civilian identity...

* There's no indication that Minako's been at the arcade or the secret base while the other girls were there. Her lines in Act 8 suggest that while she'd been in the secret base before, it wasn't any time recently - she'd been contacting Luna (and Usagi on those two occasions) from somewhere else.

She's been shown mentoring them through Luna, but after showing up in person she insists on fighting alone. That's the only explanation I can find for this. This, and later accepting their help: they had just proved they could fight and survive even at this point.

Jadeite [[spoiler:surviving the scene where Sailor Mars killed him in the manga]] already means they're deviating from the manga. However, since Takeuchi herself is overseeing the anime, the changes are most likely planned for her to explore ideas she didn't get to explore like she wanted in the original manga. In Sailor Mars' introduction, Jadeite [[spoiler:found himself attracted to Rei and in Sailor Jupiter's introduction, Nephrite found something about Jupiter familiar. This trend will most likely continue with Zoicite and Kunzite being attracted to/noticing Sailors Mercury and Venus, respectively. Jadeite's survival and these instances between the FHK and the Senshi are building up to a revelation about their relationships. Making a further guess, this will take a tragic turn and either the Senshi or the FHK will only remember the past romances after the FHK have finally died. Possibly even worse, the Senshi kill themselves killing the FHK instead of in a failed attack against Queen Metaria.]]

** Another rumor is an episode or two will be devoted to the 'Casablancas Memory' story about Rei. Which if true does mean [[spoiler: if Jadeite isn't dead ''now'', he eventually ''will'' be, as the enemy in that chapter was Zoicite trying to avenge Jadeite.]]

Even if he did teleport away, that could just mean that [[spoiler:Queen Beryl simply sentenced him to "eternal sleep"]] like in the previous anime, which would mean he met his fate either way.

* On the other hand, after the introduction of the core cast the manga rushes through its first arc's plot points at breakneck speed, with little time spared for characterization for anyone who isn't Usagi or Mamoru. Rather than stick to a 1:1 adaptation of manga chapters to episodes, the pacing may very well slow down a little once the core cast has been assembled to allow for a little more character development for the Inner Senshi and the Shitennou, in which case the Dark Kingdom arc could easily fill the full 26 episodes without diverging from the manga as much as the original anime did. Act 3 may provide the first indication of which direction the series is going to go in that respect, depending on whether [[spoiler:Jadeite gets his manga-canon death]] or not.

Even considering filler, 26 episodes is just too many to cover the first arc. It ''is'', however, enough to cover the first two arcs. (Food for thought: If they do one episode to one manga act, they'd actually end at the beginning of the ''third'' arc.)
