A new member of the team adds a different perspective to this episode of Sailor Moon.
Finally, we come back around to Naru-chan and her grief over the death of Nephrite.
Usagi really shines here, showing what a compassionate person and all-around good friend she is.
She drops everything to take care of her broken-hearted friend, and its incredibly sweet.
And this is the core of who Usagi is: her empathy.
He has no clue just how clueless he is.
That said, he does show a heroic side weve never seen before.
Theres no reason for him to come along to cheer her up, but he does.
And while this does lay the groundwork for their eventual romance, it isnt fast-tracked.
As of now, his agenda is bringing him into conflict with both the villainsandour heroes.
Tuxedo Masks acquisition of a mystic artifact finally knits his two identities together.
So, good on him for that…but oh, that hideous locket music box.
Its just so bulbous and clunky.
It looks like a babys toy.
Youd think Princess Serenity would have had classier shit lying around to give to her beloved.
Its like… Duplo jewelry.
God, this shit is honestly ridiculous.
Mako-chan also provides the value of a fresh perspective.
Her view of Usagi isnt colored by who Usagi was fifteen episodes ago.
Lastly, a word on the villains.
Its also nice that Naru just took him on, recognizing him from the night Nephrite died.
The incredibly cheesy and lame boxing monster is pardoned only slightly by the clever pun in his name.
Bokushi is Japanese for pastor, which differs only a shade in pronunciation from Bokushii, or Boxy.
And his audience being the graves… mildly creepy.
Ive noticed that like most superhero works, they never talk about collateral damage on this show.
Anyone else feel really bad for the people whose loved ones graves were desecrated if not completely destroyed?
