Review: Sailor Moon Crystal Act 3 - Rei - Sailor Mars




Another awesome episode to this series that was basically straight from the manga.

The episode begins with the Dark Kingdom. Beryl is not so happy that Jadeite keeps failing in trying to find the Silver Crystal. We then get our first look at Nephrite and Zoicite. Beryl reveals tha she will basically give Jadeite one more try before she let's her other Generals step in. Enter Rei, who sees a vision of what is going on in the other dimension.

Jadeite's last chance at obtaining the silver crystal actually happens to be a local bus that picks people up near Rei's temple. Luna suspects it is the enemy because rumors are floating around Usagi's school that people are beginning to disappear off of the 5PM bus. Usagi and Luna begin to investigate the mysterious disappearances at the school where Usagi eventually ends up on the cursed bus with Rei, and the two end up going into Jadeite's dream world. It is there that Rei is revealed to be the third Sailor Senshi, Sailor Mars. Moon and Mars end up working together and defeating Jadeite for good.



With three of the Senshi now assembled, we see that the Dark Kingdom begins to move forward with an even more deadly plan in hopes of trying to stop our heroines from getting the Legendary Crystal before them. Nephrite heads to a masquerade where a princess is about to unveil a very rare crystal...

As this episode is another one that was featured somewhat in the original series (Episode 10 and 13), I wasn't going to go on a full breakdown of the entire episode. The real difference from the original series and this one that is pulled straight from the original manga is Jadeite dies in the same episode that Rei is revealed to be Sailor Mars. In all honesty, this series is by far superior to the original in terms of no fillers at all so far. I'm on cloud nine just watching these pages come alive on screen and can not wait to see if we continue to get the entire manga series animated.

Rating: 8/10
