Most Memorable Sailor Moon Moments
Numbers 71 to 80
80. The crucifixion of the Senshi [JP]
Episode #74 [SMR 28]
A freaky scene, even though I knew it was coming. The only real problem that I had with it was how the Senshi showed no negative after effects. They looked like they'd gotten the stuffing beaten out of them in those crystal crosses, you'd think they might've ... I dunno, limped a bit or something when they got free.
But a good scene, nevertheless.
79. Yuuichiro "saving" Rei [JP]
Episode #38
The Japanese version just inches the DiC one out of the running, probably due more to a voice preference.
This episode actually turned me into a bit of a Yuuichiro fan. You just can't help but like a guy so totally
in love, a guy so ... stupid.
78. Eudial [JP]
Episodes #103-111 [SMS 14-22]
And I have finally found myself another favourite villainness. Eudial is like Zoicite, only more intelligent. She's like Esmeraude, only without the laugh. Things go wrong for Eudial, all the time. But whatever she does, she does it with style. Her own style, that is.
77. Zoicite [NA]
Episode #27: Kitty Chaos
I tried to just pick a scene in this episode, but I can't. Ahh yes, DiC's Zoicite, affectionately known in some circles as "That Psycho" ... Definately my favourite villain. This episode provided me with almost non-stop laughs from start to finish, due in a great part to Zoey's antics.
76. "Becoming an adult makes it more fun." [JP]
The SuperS Movie
When I first got my tape of the movie, I think I rewound this part dozens of times. "Look!" I cried, "she actually flustered Haruka!!" Although my viewing companion didn't seem to find it quite as funny as I did (maybe it was my rewinding it 20 times or so? Nahh.)
75. Ami's Heart Crystal [JP]
Episode #98 [SMS 9]
Yet another Ami-chan angst episode. I just felt so bad for the poor dear, especially when she was on that bridge ... <sniff> Incidentally, for those of you interested, this episode also contains one of those rare "Hey, Mamoru's not too bad" scenes.
74. Haruka's Detransformation [JP]
Episode #115 [SMS 26]
What makes this scene so cool? Probably because it's the only time in the entire series that we are able to see one of the other Senshi detransform. I imagine that this helped them get over their modesty real quick.
73. Rei's ultra Akuryou Taisan [JP]
The R Movie
Slug-like plant things animating the hordes of fallen bodies who start encroaching on the girls' personal space. Cool music comes up, the Senshi look horribly outnumbered ... And then my Rei-chan comes tearing down the street, ducking, doging, and using a guy as a springboard before taking them all down herself. Yeah, I liked that.
72. Introduction of Mako [JP or NA]
Episode #25 or 21: Jupiter Comes Thundering In
Kino Makoto, defender of the meek and loyal to the end. How can you not love a girl like that?
71. Darien breaks up with Serena [NA]
Starting with Episode #55: The Cosmetic Caper
The beginning of the series of episodes where I wanted little more than to have Darien become a real person and materialize in front of me so I could pound the stuffing out of him. Even eventually getting to see these episodes in Japanese, I didn't have as much hatred for Mamoru as for I do for Darien. .....But anyway.
