Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon Returns:
Ordinary safe life of Sailor senshi didn't last long. Meteroit
carrying two life forms of non-earth origin crashed in the center of Tokyo waking
half of the town up, including 5 girls, that felt somewhere inside of them, that
they've already met. The meteroit itself didn't represent potencial danger, but
it's crew apparently did. Two aliens of contrary gender (they look like elves with
wierd coloring) have ,,landed" on our planet in search for energy. Energy, that can
be extracted only from human beings, which is in malfeasant with federal
law on protection of citizens, so Sailor team has to be re-established once again.
Factual introduction ^-^ is behind us and now for closer lookup:
These two aliens call each other Ann & Ail and are disguised as students of the same
school as Usagi attend in order to learn more about human race. And becasue Sailor
Moon can't be without any dramatic love scenes, Ail who was known under identity as
Ginga Seijuurou fell in love with Usagi and Ann as Ginga Natsumi fell in love with
Mamorou. Now this was a bit more complicated becasue Usagi and Mamorou had a very
intense relationship that had it's future as King and Queen.
The energy Ann & Ail gather with Cardzillions is used as an inevitable ingredient for Doom Tree, the
source, factory for converting human energy to the state acceptable for their organism.
These shipments of energy are, unfortunately for them, interupted by Sailor senshi,
that are, after Luna gave them memories and transformation pens, effectively
destroying any daemon that even think about stealing some of that precious energy
from humans.
The final episode end up, when Ann & Ail found out, that there's no chance their gonna
get what they seek: not the precious energy, the source of their life, but love of
humans, namely Usagi's and Mamorou's. All this ends up, when Ann blinded by jealous
that Usagi stole her love (at least that's what she thought, actually it was reversal)
started working on a plan that will put Usagi outta the way once and for all.
The results are: Ann in the agony of anger attacked Usagi with intention to put
her aside, but she didn't count with Momorou, that was defending her with his own
body. Seeing that she has no chance to tear up their relationship, Ann's anger grew
even stronger. With this she nearly killed the one she loved.
The Doom Stree all of a sudden became active and attacked Ail. The deathblow that was
about to hit him has been taken by Ann, who stood in front of him in the last second.
That is when Ann & Ail understand, that the Doom Tree doesn't need the energy from
people of this Earth, but the energy from their own love. Ann has been revived and both
aliens with the Doom Three left our planet.
Mamorou also recovered from his injuries and they all live happily...until...
P.S.: If you consider yourself one of those ,,Tuxedo fans" than don't expect any
uninvited interruptions by this annoying so called defender of Sailor senshi (that's
my personal opinion and you'll never change it). The dark side about it is that he's
replaced by even more annoying character - some turkish guy named Tsukikage no Knight (Moonlight Knight), who thinks that when he's got
one foot long sabre and big mouth (which are veiled with a scarf BTW, so when he's
talking {which unfortunately happen very often} it sound like...sink your head in a
pillow and start talkin', that's the best way to find out) he's attractive, but he
definitely didn't look like it one bit. So, to put an end to all this, these two
personalities united and Tuxedo Mask was back in saving business. The whole point of
all this was something like finding each other, joining two different personalities with
same goals.
Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon Romance:
...until one absolutely normal day.
Mamoro and Usagi were on a date and as dates oftenly end up, they were kissing. All of
a sudden a little girl fell from above. Now that should be called strange, but the
girl herself was much more stranger. First, she was mistakenly kissing Mamoro instead
of Usagi (which is one thing you rather not do in front of her own eyes), second, she
was seriously interested in getting the Silver Crystal - Gizuinshou, third, she
hypnotiezed Usagi's family and became her 100% official sister, so poor Usagi had to
share her room with this mysterious child called Chibi-Usa, bathroom, mom's baked cakes, everyday life and all night (the
bed was a constant ring in this matter).
Mamoro! This guy coudn't be shared. The breakpoint,
when Usagi suddenly had nothing happened when Mamoro openly told her that he no
longer love her. She thought it was because of that little brat, Chibi-Usa, but
something in his behaviour indicated that there are more misplaced things here then just love.
I didn't really understand why he was acting like this. Important is that he was
saving her butt as usual, nothing more, nothing less. No more love stories, no more
dates.
As if they haven't anough ordinary life problems, new, far more powerful enemies
appeared - the Akayashi Sisters
along with their leader - Rubeus.
Their mission is to destroy the crystal points in order to eliminate the future Tokyo,
known as Crystal Tokyo and to track down and kill the mysterious pink haired girl, Chibi-Usa.
The battle waged as any other with one difference: The Akayashi sisters were, with the
help of Silver Crystal, not killed, but converted on the good side.
In the meantime, Cibi-Usa discovered senshi identities and stole Usagi her Silver Crystal
in purpose yet not known, but soon found out, that she's gonna need some bodyguards if
she wanna return home - to the Crystal Tokyo, that was destroyed by the Black Moon family
(I read somewhere, that they were rebels from Silver Millenium.
So the senshi and their pink haired patron
traveled to the Gates of Time. Sailor Moon nearly end up with an inijury when
Sailor Pluto, the everlasting guardian of the gates, mistaked her for a trespasser
That's what I like about Setsuna - attack, ask questions later. She's the one, who
gave Chibi-Usa the Luna-P, a large ball that look like Luna's head, which serve as
communicator between her and Chibi. In order to return back into the future, after the
Silver Crystal is found, Chibi-Usa was given a time key, that she used to get to the
Gates of Time. Now they all traveled (with the permission and help of Sailor Pluto) back into
the future. They had some problems with time traveling, but they all menaged to join at
the center of Crystal Tokyo, where the whole mystery came to light.
A long time ago, Queen Serenity's (Usagi in past) peaceful rule was interrupted by
the Black Moon Family, consisting of their leader,
Prince Demando and his three
servants - Emeraude, evil arci-mage Wise Man, in later episodes all powerful Black Lady
and Demando's brother Saffir. So, as I said, they came and with their awesome fleet
totaly subverted the beautiful empire of Queen Serenity. Not even her personal guardians,
Sailor Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus weren't able to stop the brute force of the Black
Moon Family, so they, along with Queen Serenity, encounter in the main palace with one
last objective - their queen must outlast!. The guardians together put Serenity
into an eternal sleep and enwraped her in an unbreakable crystal. Her doughter, Chibi-Usa,
ran into the past, to seek the Gizuinshou, to revive her mother. Unfortunately now, when
Sailor Moon possessed the Silver Crystal, she weren't able to dispel the magical barrier
and awake...herself in future, from the eternal sleep.
Chibi-Usa's depression
forced her to run, run away from the people that promised her to
help, but not even Sailor Moon can. That is when she met someone, who apparently can -
the Wise Man. He mediated Chibi-Usa false thoughts from her childhood. Thoughts like,
everyone she knew hate her, her mother, father, the four guardians that lived with her
in the palace...the whole Millenium, everyone. Thoughts of revenge were suggested deeply
in her memory. Suddenly, she was an adult, her clothes took shady black color, she became...the
Black Lady.
In the meantime, Prince Demando abducted Sailor Moon (he had some real hungry taste for
Queen Serenity, but since she was well protected, his love plans went bye-bye. The first
time he saw Sailor Moon, his plans re-opened. Not just coz she's pretty and all, but
because he immediately recognized her future identity - Queen Serenity from the past),
but unfortunately for him, Usagi already had a one true lover, so his hypnotizing
skills weren't working as they should. ,,Tuxedo save" followed and our future king and
queen were once again together.
No one expected treachery that was about to take place, no one but Saffir. The poor kid
tried to warn his brother Demando, that Wise Man is doing all this for the best for him, not the
Black Family, but before he finished his sentence, Wise Man murdered him in front of
Demando's own eyes. Because Saffir was deemed as traitor, Demando couldn't do nothing
about it. But deeply within him, he sweared revenge.
In the final episode, Sailor Moon falled into her unsolicited lover's hands again,
but even now, when Tuxedo Mask wasn't able to help her, she menaged to remain trusted
to Mamorou.
Wise Man requested her dead, but Demando coudn't commit this. Even when he knew, that
he has absolutely no chance to break the power of her love to Mamorou, he still coudn't
let her be killed. This disagreement went into a deadly duel between him and Wise Man.
Demando's anger and powers, exponentiated by the sorrow on death of his brother, overcame
opponents and destroy him, but the injury he suffered looked real bad indeed.
Black Lady, blessed by the love and care everyone offered her, transformed back into
harmless little Chibi-Usa.
Black Moon Family (I forgot to mention how Emeraude end up, but that played little part
in the final episodes) has been defeated. Queen Serenity, along with King Endymion (whose
ghost was ,,haunting" in the Crystal Tokyo) once again ruled their rebuilded empire
by their immortal ally - peace and happiness.
Chibi-Usa returned to her previous home, where she belong to - the future and met her
loving momy and daddy.
Sailor Moon was also living her paradise in the past (maybe I should just call it present...).
With no sister and handsome lover on her neck, she coudn't want more.
