Usagi goes to visit Mamoru at the arcade and Chibiusa follows her. Makoto and Minako are nearby and go check out the arcade when their communicator begins to react when Chibiusa begins to conquer the levels of the game. Makoto appears to have a cold. Mamoru takes Chibiusa home so Usagi and the other girls can discuss plans about the Black Moon. So far there is no news on where Mercury and Mars were taken to, but they do know that Chibiusa is the key to finding more out about where the Black Moon is, since they seem to be after her.
At the Tsukino residence, Chibiusa runs away from home. It starts to rain, so Chibiusa turns her Luna-P ball into an umbrella. Mamoru finds her roaming the streets and as he touches her he gets a vision from the future of Neo Tokyo being destroyed.
Prince Demande and Wise Man begin to discuss plans on what to do next, when Petz decides she will go and capture Sailor Jupiter with Code 003 - Operation Renew.
Mamoru and Usagi are at a coffee shop when Usagi begins to vent on how much she doesn't like Chibiusa. Mamoru tells Usagi what he saw when he touched Chibiusa. Asanuma, one of Mamoru's friends is nearby and sees that Luna can talk.
Makoto is on her way home when Asanuma runs into her. He sees she is not feeling well and sees if she can help her. He takes her home and she offers him some tea. Makoto turns on the TV which is showing more Crop Circles cropping up around the city. Asanuma tells Makoto about everything he has seen lately with Luna talking and other strange occurrences. Makoto reveals to him everything about her and her friends and that she needs to continue to protect them. Asanuma wants to protect Makoto to and her friends. She kisses him before he leaves and says he won't tell anyone her secret. A typhoon warning is shown on the news before Makoto passes out.
Petz sends out her droids to infiltrate Tokyo. Makoto is attacked in her apartment. She transforms into Sailor Jupiter. Minako and Usagi arrive at her apartment and transform as well to help fight the enemy. The enemy takes the appearance of Makoto. Jupiter throws her out the window. The fight then moves outside, where Petz is waiting for them. Jupiter uses her Flower Hurricane and Sparkiling Wide Pressure attacks and rids Tokyo of all the droids surrounding Petz. Petz's attack is too much for Jupiter and she is put into an electric prison. Usagi uses her Moon Rod and defeats Petz, but Jupiter is still taken away by Rubeus.
The second season of this series continues to blow my mind on how well it is following the original manga story. Each frame is literally lifted right out of the pages, from every single line to attack. What I really enjoy is the attacks used are all unique and they never run the same attack a second time in terms of animation. The original series used a lot of stock footage, so its pretty neat seeing Sparkling Wide Pressure and Moon Princess Halation done differently every time the senshi do their attacks. I really like how they handled Asanuma as well. That scene was pretty emotional in the manga seeing as we do learn a bit more back story on Makoto and how she wants to be their for her friends to protect them as if they are her family. Also, unlike the previous season, the Ayashi Sisters are all being killed off appropriately, not like the Generals of Beryl who when they were supposed to die, they were just shelved until the climax of the season when they were all brought back to fight the Inner Senshi one final time. The way the second season is turning out, Season 3 is gonna be amazing to see once it finally gets released.
Rating: 8/10
