The supporting cast gets the chance to shine in our latest classic Sailor Moon review.
But more on that in another review.
How telling is it that the pointedly formal and polite Ami, addressed Urawa by his first name?
Girl, you go get some.
Call me a cynic, but thats a red flag right there.
I do understand theres a certain cultural value judgment here at work here though.
And this is not some ignorant, anecdotal stuff I just pulled out of my ass.
That kind of thing, while not particularly common, DOES HAPPEN.
And thats why I love that Mercury just shuts his bullshit down.
Especially if all Endymion is throwing at her is that weird, chicken arm chop thrusting.
What the fuck was that?
Jupiter was scared of that?
Mercury might also be reluctant.
Jupiter would go down swinging.
Endymion really does give the Sailor Guardians a run for their money here.
This is yet another reason why this episode is so strong.
So many things come together for the climax to have the impact it does.
Sailor Moon uses Moon Healing Escalation on Endymion… and it totally works.
He was Mamoru again.
Sailor Moons near success here is not be dismissed.
See, Sailor Mercury, however beloved, often gets dismissed as a lightweight character.
Its always when they play with the stock footage like that).
And then he just disappears.
Im not sure why.
I honestly dont see a reason why the creative team wouldnt, even from a practical standpoint.
