Sailor Moon sends up a poignant episode about troubled romance.
Join us for another classic Sailor Moon review.
Queen Beryl gets seriously pissed when Nephrite repeatedly ignores her summons, but the dude has his reasons.
His only perceived recourse is to redeem himself by bringing his queen the Silver Crystal.
Meanwhile, Zoisite has fucking had it and sends one of his youma after Nephrite.
When Naru gets caught in the crossfire, Nephrite suprises everyone, including himself, by saving her life.
Despite the fantasy angle on the story, this is actually a very poignant episode.
This is not the girl who quibbled with Rei over who got more ice cream on her cone.
Its a subtle note, which is good.
Not all character development comes in cataclysmic revelations.
Usagis civilian persona is not the only one who is advancing.
Someones mastering her powers.
Kunzite is still largely in the shadows, but we definitely get a feel for his relationship with Zoisite.
Theyre lovers, but theres also definitely a kind of master and apprentice vibe to them as well.
And Im sure there was much Zosite learned from Kunzite, but… Its actually fairly basic and obvious.
Quit embarrassing yourself, dude.
Im one of them.
No complete dislike of one another?
And as for Jadeite, who the hell knows what his deal was?
This episodes only real weakness comes from a rather unlikely source: Narus mother.
And all her mother does is call after her, her eyes glistening with concern.
Oh, gag me.
Take your filial piety propaganda elsewhere, thank you.
