This episode is the first real beat in the Naru/Nephrite storyline. However, dumb-ass somehow thinks Sailor Moon just might be Naru, who has a hardcore crush on his alter-ego. Good thing, because itвЂ™s just a ploy by Nephrite to lure Sailor Moon out. Usagi gets a love letter from Tuxedo Mask but is disheartened when every girl in town gets one. EPISODE 19: UsagiвЂ™s Joy: A Love Letter from Tuxedo Mask Something tells me that mullet was not an accident. And on top of all that, a tennis-themed youma. It also hinted at further involvement and development of Tuxedo Mask. This episode opened the mythology up in a major way, developing the power politics of the Dark Kingdom, specifically those serving Queen Beryl directly. He also, in his civilian guise, catches the eye of Naru, laying the foundation for his eventual downfall. We learn that he has a different method of collecting energy, one consistent human alter-ego, and a rival in the charmingly treacherous Zoisite. And while Nephrite had a brief cameo in Episode 13, this is where heвЂ™s properly introduced. Yeah, I skipped the death of Jadeite, because aside from that, nothing interesting happened in that episode. EPISODE 14: A New Enemy Appears: NephriteвЂ™s Evil Crest And aside from that, itвЂ™s just plain fun. It also marks the first meeting of Rei and Mamoru, whose shared dislike of Usagi leads to one of the best romantic subplots in all five seasons of the show. It explores the character dynamics between these three girls, who will be the only Sailor Senshi around until the second half of the season. This is the first episode where the power trio of Moon, Mercury, and Mars work as a team. The girls check out an amusement park that is actually a trap laid by Jadeite for innocent people and all their nummy energy. The shrine, where Rei lives and works as a miko alongside her pervy yet somehow lovable grandfather, subsequently becomes the unofficial headquarters of the Sailor Senshi.Д®PISODE 11: Usagi vs. She becomes Sailor Mars and incinerates the youma of the week in a fucking pillar of fire. Luckily, the high priestвЂ™s psychic granddaughter, Rei, ainвЂ™t having that. So, yeah, buses start disappearing after leaving Hikawa Shinto Shrine. Trust me, this title is not the worst offender on this list. Subscribe EPISODE 10: The Cursed Bus: Enter Mars, the Guardian of FireДЄh, the first time (and not by far the last) that the episode title gives away the entire episode.
