Meanwhile, Rei is out shopping and has Teddy on pack mule duty, and he runs slap-bang into Koan. Rubeus puts Koan on the case, Wiseman warns that “tragedy will befall her,” to which Rubeus tenderly replies: “Meh.” Man, and I thought Beryl was a nasty boss. Rubeus is under pressure from the higher-ups to take care of the Rabbit problem, but lucky for him, Wiseman is predicting another bunny sighting at Hikawa Shrine tomorrow.

Time to bust out the brevity powers again! And, so. I have a ton of notes about this episode because there’s some interesting/frustrating nuance between characters (and some major plot points, too), but I’m hoping I can still find a way to boil it down to its basics. And you know, I know that he still loves her, and you know that he still loves her, but in the world of the story itself, Usagi is swiftly approaching Overly Attached (Ex)Girlfriend Meme Status. Usagi’s relieved and vows to keep loving him SUPER HARD until she figures out what’s bothering him and fixes it. Oh, and BT-dubs, that girl in the cafe was just Motoki’s sister and Mamoru was giving her a ride to her boyfriend’s place. If only there were some other option, like banding together with your superhero girlfriend and her superhero friends to get to the bottom of this together. Sailor Moon halates her into oblivion, and it’s all over but the crying, as Tuxedo Mask insists that just because he doesn’t want her to die doesn’t mean he loves her and leaves in a storm of flower petals. Akumuda tries to continue the proud tradition of shanking The Tux, but her angle’s off and she only manages to nick his arm. The Moon Princess has been saved! And oh, right, that droid is back too. Multicolored pastel bubbles BURST FORTH from her crotch as he awakens a little more than just her consciousness if-you-know-what-I-mean. Clearly Ikuhara is honing the subtle imagery he will one day bring to Yurikuma Arashi. The Tux arrives on the scene and finally gives Usagi the kiss she’s been wanting for weeks. Mamoru can’t resist a kitty with tears in her eyes (who could?), so he hops out of bed and… Oh, thank you, Sailor Moon.Īctually, Usagi, you know what? I get it. IRL, Usa mutters his name, and Luna knows what she has to do: Drag the dumb bastard here and have him Sleeping Beauty this shit! Kissing unconscious people is basically his superpower anyway. I’m going to pretend that SM is trying to show us the dangers of codependency with this, because it’s pretty frustrating if I think of it in any other fashion. The girls respond by coming up with a sequence of clever plans to rouse her.Īnd meanwhile Baby Usa (not to be confused with Chibiusa) flees through darkness, chasing Mamoru but never able to catch him. Rei’s badass exorcism powers keep Akumuda from knocking out anyone else, but the droid flees straight into Usagi’s mouth, promising the girls that it will keep Sailor Moon trapped in its Slumberdome, draining her energy until she dies.

Stupid villains and their battle tactics. I’m gonna go ahead and say that the scouts have developed actual Sailor senses (either that or the writers expect us to fill in the blanks and assume Usagi used her communicator to contact them), because they once again show up in the nick of time, outnumbering the Spectres and forcing them to beat another retreat. Somewhat less fortunately, the Spectres have brought along their droid Akumuda, whose hypnosis is super effective, and sends the unconsciousness Usagi to a nightmarish hellscape from which there is no return. Fortunately, Sailor Moon was right on her tail. This is far too many emotions for one night, and Chibi’s forehead crescent sounds the alarm, alerting the two eldest Spectre Sisters to her presence. So let that be a lesson to you kids at home.
