sailor moon: part ten

Kunzite turns a final human into a youma. Sailor Moon comes up with a plan to convince the Dark Kingdom that she is breaking away from the Sailor Scouts so she can join the Dark Kingdom with Endymion. So Kunzite turns a tabloid photographer, Nana Asahina, into a youma to gather information. Their plan backfires in the end and Kunzite gets way. After this, however. the portal to the Dark Kingdom secret hideout is discovered and the Sailor Soldiers go there to bring the fight to Queen Beryl. Kunzite catches them and sends them to the Chaotic World of Multiple Dimensions. While trapped there Usagi finds her mother, Queen Serenity, who tells her the rest of her past and of the war with the Dark Kingdom. The Sailor Soldiers escape and Sailor Moon finally defeats Kunzite.

From here the Sailor Soldiers use the Sailor Teleport to reach the Dark Kingdom base. They go up against the DD Girls, of which there are five. The DD Girls use an illusion of Tuxedo Mask to trick Sailor Moon. When her friends keep preventing her from falling for it they use one of Motoki to trick Sailor Jupiter. Sailor Jupiter attacks and takes out two of the DD Girls, dying in the process. Everyone is stunned by her death but they move forward. Ami takes on the DD Girls next, when they try to use an illusion of Urawa. She destroys their ability to make illusions and dies. Venus then falls when she takes out one DD Girl. Mars is left to fight two of them and dies taking them out. Sailor Moon is devastated by the loss of her friends but their spirits come to her and give her the courage to move forward. She finds Queen Beryl, who reveals a fully brainwashed Mamoru. Usagi and Mamoru fight, but then Usagi shows him the music box. Mamoru comes to his senses and he and Queen Beryl fight, killing each other. Sailor Moon is left all alone. As Queen Beryl dies she calls out to Queen Metalia, asking to be infused with her power so she can destroy Sailor Moon. Queen Metalia complies and transforms Queen Beryl. The new Queen Beryl faces off against Sailor Moon, who transforms into Princess Serenity and, alongside the souls of her friends, unleashes the full power of the Silver Crystal. Princess Serenity defeats Queen Beryl completely and as she dies she makes a wish that she and her friends will wake up tomorrow to a normal day. Usagi's wish is granted. She and her friends return to their normal life with no memories of anything that has transpired. This makes Luna sad, but Artemis points out that all that needs to happen is the Sailor Soldiers need to meet again.

My favorite episode is a tie between "The Sailor Warriors Die! The Tragic Final Battle" and "Usagi's Everlasting Wish! A New Reincarnation". Watching the Sailor Scouts sacrifice themselves for Usagi, Mamoru killing Queen Beryl, Usagi unleashing the Silver Crystal's power, and everyone's reincarnation.
