"Which is like a pocket dimension"
I would prefer to see strong evidence that it's a separate dimension (rather than just an assumption with no statements to back it in the scans provided) after considering how your proposal results in infinitely large galaxy, and also considering how Sagittarius Alpha Star is a reference to Sagittarius A, a well-known astronomical body that's just a black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The scans explicitly show that the center of the galaxy where the graveyard is within is a finite region of light.
Well, they enter it through a door. The inside the door is different from the outside of the door.
Also, your objection doesn't work for Sailor Moon. There's a sized dimension with its own star inside the planet earth,
Elysium. The argument that the galaxy cannot have a infinitely large center because galaxies aren't infinite isn't applicable to Sailor Moon, as we've seen bigger on the inside situations already.
First off, "cosmos" under a basic generous interpretation should only encompass the entire universe, so I have no clue where "it would include the alternate universes" came from.
And secondly, we once again run into the issue of Sailor Moon english translations being unreliable.
- "This is the final destination, where fragments of dead stars and planets come to rest after drifting across the cosmos."
The raw text does not contain the "across the cosmos" part, which is consistent
with the translation I received from a Japanese speaker.
It includes alternate universes, because the star seeds of alternate universes come from the galaxy cauldron and return to it. This is the area that processes death for the entire cosmology.
Looking at this thread and this blog, there’s a lot of things wrong here in regards to the abilities granted by star seeds. The entire explanation for Conceptual manipulation doesn’t remotely talk about any fundamental concept that’s the form of star seeds. Tuxedo’s argument of being erased...

Also, enough with this one to one literal translation business. Japanese is a highly contextual language. The story would make no sense if you translate word to word and leave it at that.
The translation is official and approved and authorized by everyone with creative control of the manga. The translators are not translating in a vacuum like your online translators translating a cropped paged. They know the story, and all the elements that come with it. They're also relying on the context of the scene and overall story. And can ask questions to editors and creatives for clarification. I hold more stock in their translation.
I understand if your argument was this English text contradicts what is being said in the overall story, but it doesn't. There are no other graveyards.
Same like with your pocket dimension argument, it relies on ignoring the art, context, and over arching story.
Even granting this argument the most leeway possible, this would just mean that the graveyard is infinitely-expanding, which to my knowledge, we don't grant a quantifiable tier to, for values involving universe size on this wiki.
No one is trying to tier the graveyard. We are mentioning the implications of it. A never ending graveyard is filled with never ending dead stars. A finite cosmology cannot support a never ending amount of stars.
The term used was 無数 (Musu), which isn't the same as 無限 (Mugen).
According to this dictionary blog, the latter indicates direct infinity while the former indicates a value to large for someone to count (countless/innumerable). The answers from
this Q&A post also indicate that Mugen is literal infinity, while Musu is a very casual term used to describe a large, often finite value. I don't doubt that there are cases where it can indicate literal infinity (same with countless/innumerable in English), but that's clearly not the default assumption.
I said the scans said there are countless and innumerable amount of graves. I didn't say the scans said there are infinite number of graves.
Also, point me to the CRT where Sailor Moon Crystal was accepted as canon on this wiki.
The same one that accepted the cosmology blog. Its' not a primary cannon but we can use it to supplement when it doesn't contradict the primary. Especially with how artistic the manga pages are.
