Mistress 9 casts off her human form to properly welcome Pharoah 90 to the battlefield!

Here’s our review!

ThisSailor Moon Crystalreview contains spoilers.

That was really good.

But Ill do my best.

This episode was a beast.

It came in, took no prisoners, and wasted not a second.

It was just a delight to watch.

Part of what makesInfinitysuch a great arc is its darkness.

And not dark in a calculated, over the top, manufactured,Batman vs. Supermankind of way.

It doesnt have the same unsettling, gothic quality to it.

And that tone is what makes this story so perfect.

I mean, this is just raw, dark creepiness.

At this point in the plot, all the character arcs for the season are pretty much complete.

Chibi-Usas power up to Super Sailor Chibi Moon marks her growth.

All thats left now is a big fucking battle.

Its also helpful that the Inners are all snoozing there.

Thats going to come in really handy later.

Its nice that Naoko was willing to just say, You know what?

Let this demon bitch get hideous, starting with some serious crazy eyes.

Crystal really took it up a notch over the manga with those eyes.

That shit was capital C creepy.

And as for the one holding all that crazy in check?

Hotarus spirit is strong as fuck.

Guarding not just Chibi-Usas soul and the Silver Crystal, but all the Inners souls too?

And all while cock-blocking Mistress 9?

One thing thats always bothered me about the evolution of Chibis powers is that shes a Senshi in training.

But instead, Chibis powers just seem to match Usagis.

I cant pretend I dont know why this is.

I cant argue that they look cool together.

I mean, they totally do.

Thats just some messy mythology right there.

And on the subject of odd power distribution… again with the arbitrary flight powers?!

Look, I dont have a problem with the power of flight.

I dont have a problem with the Senshi being able to fly.

Because if it’s possible for you to fly, its not.

Each scene just builds upon the last so beautiful and at such a perfect pace.

Ooh… this is the good stuff.
