They kiss, and then a funny thing happens. Usagi very nicely had his pocket watch repaired, and when she gives it to him, he returns the handkerchief she’d dropped at the masquerade ball way back in episode 4. Usagi and Mamoru meet up by their fountain. Going outside, Rei hopes this isn’t a bad omen. She sees someone’s forehead in the fire, a forehead with an upside-down black crescent on it. The next story arc begins with Rei meditating by the fire. I wouldn’t be able to get that dress on fast enough.
But 14-year old me would have said “OH HELL NO I am not going back to school” and I would have become the queen on the Moon in a New York minute. So, the girls go back to living their regular, 14-year-old lives. Sailor Moon, now on Earth, runs to them and, in a nice cinematographic detail, birds on the bridge’s railing alight while she runs past them. Queen Serenity’s hologram appears and she gives Usagi her blessing, AND THEN turns into a new brooch! It’s like a make-up compact with space for the Crystal, so Usagi puts the Crystal in there and yells out her new transformation phrase, “Moon Crystal Power Make Up!” But I was very disappointed to see that the new transformation sequence was exactly the same as the old one! I don’t know if the 1990s anime gave her a new one, but part of the fun of new transformation objects is seeing everyone’s new transformation sequences! Jeez.Ī Moon-to-Tokyo “Moon Healing Escalation” takes care of any lingering traces of Metalia and revives the Scouts, who are on a bridge. “I wanna keep living my life with everyone I love” But Usagi doesn’t want to be queen – she wants to live on Earth with her loved ones: her family, her friends, the Scouts, and Mamoru. In the Chamber of Prayer, Luna tells Usagi that she’s the new queen of the Moon. But but! Her brooch lays shattered on the ground, so Usagi asks the Crystal to send herself and Tuxedo to the Moon, and again, we all wish that space travel was this easy (and cheap!) as the couple shoot into space in a ball of energy. Usagi hears Luna’s voice (via telepathy, probably – miracles are happening all over!), who tells her to come to the Moon. Tuxedo Mask, being a sort of Scout of the Earth, touches the ground and can “see” where they are Usagi, holding his hand, can see through him. They’re both super happy, but Usagi wonders where the Scouts are. Perhaps he thought she was dead and this was the last time he would get to kiss her…? Ew?īut! She’s not dead. He kisses her, and I guess I am just so used to him kissing her while she’s unconscious that I honestly wasn’t even mad. It’s pretty again!īack on Earth, Tuxedo Mask holds Usagi and notes that she’s cold – she may or may not be dead, but she for sure used up a lot of energy sealing Metalia. It seems to me that the spirit of Princess Serenity is inside Sailor Moon, so if any ghostly image would be there, I would think it would be Queen Serenity, but she’s always been the small hologram, so…Īnyway, the entire Moon Kingdom is restored – no more “poisonous stone”, and lots of pretty colors! The “camera” revolved around the cats as their surroundings changed, which was a neat effect. Next to her was a ghostly image of Princess Serenity, which was kind of weird. Human Luna from the Original Picture Collection III On the Moon, Luna is still praying to the crystals, and in a GREAT shout out to fans, she’s in her human form!! I was so tickled. In the process of sealing Metalia, Sailor Moon’s brooch – the center of her power – breaks, and she collapses. My interpretation is that she used the Crystal to direct the Moon’s light at Metalia.
Sailor Moon uses the Crystal to blast Queen Metalia’s forehead mark with energy, defeating her.
I love how Queen Serenity’s presence has been felt in this series – even though she has been dead for at least a thousand years, her hologram and flashbacks from Sailor Moon and Luna keep her alive.Īll this praying causes the Moon’s light to brighten – it’s super bright. In the Chamber of Prayer, Luna remembers Queen Serenity telling her (back in the day) to pray to the giant crystals in times of need. So now, Sailor Moon prays to/asks the Crystal to grant her the power to defeat Metalia. Sailor Moon remembers (via flashback of Queen Serenity) that the Legendary Silver Crystal depends on her “heart” by now it’s obvious that “heart” means “desire” – when Sailor Moon knows she wants something, like for Tuxedo Mask to be alive, the Crystal makes it happen. The Scouts are presumably dead, but it seems as though their spirits send a beam of light to the crystals in the Chamber of Prayer on the Moon, where Luna and Artemis are. In the last episode, Sailor Moon had just informed Queen Metalia that she is taking her down. ?
