The Sailor Moon cast is utilized to its fullest in this spectacular episode.
Despite still being wounded from their last encounter, he accepts.
Both get trapped by Zoisite, forced to reveal their identities to one another.
Meanwhile, newcomer Venus go-getter attitude forces the other Senshi to step up their game.
Their rescue attempt comes a moment too late as they find Tuxedo Mask dying in Sailor Moons arms.
The appearance of the Crystal finally reveals the identity of the Moon Princess: none other than Usagi herself.
There must be a lot of humidity in the Dark Kingdom.
I mean, I get it.
It works, I guess.
But there are so manyParty of Fivekids in this show, just living without parents all willy-nilly.
Its a bit much.
Also, I wonder how all the memory stuff works for him.
Now that he gets the past life memories back, did that just reboot the entire hard drive?
Also… heres the thing.
I grew up on Marvel Comics.
I was conditioned to view a characters death as a temporary setback.
Nephrites death completely rocked my world, it shook me to my core.
And I had to wait a whole fucking weekend to learn otherwise.
It was a smart move on the writers part.
By taking a prominent recurring character like Nephrite and offing him, it really left that door open.
But thats a future post.
His hand was extended!
The hat should go to his hand, then he puts it on his head.
Was 33 episodes a bit too much time?
And speaking of things that are long overdue…
I can understand those who wish the whole Is Venus the princess?
Wasted opportunity there, I think.
From the moment she shows up, shes just taking names and kicking ass.
Shes the first Senshi to be introduced as a Sailor first, her civilian identity something of a footnote.
This episode, for Venus, was a hell of a follow-up to a striking debut.
All that said, this is an amazing episode.
Its one of my favorites to this day.
