Usagi wakes up in Mamoru Chiba's bedroom and finally realizes that he is Tuxedo Mask. Mamoru finally reveals to Usagi why he became Tuxedo Mask as well as why he needs to find the Legendary Silver Crystal because he does not remember his past. He remembers being in an accident as a child, both of his parents perishing, and it is only the Silver Crystal which can help him remember what happened before that. Usagi promises to keep his reasons a secret between them. Usagi leaves Mamoru's apartment to meet back up with Luna.
Back in the Dark Kingdom, Beryl requests an audience with Queen Metallia. Beryl gives Metallia all the energy they have collected so far, but it is not enough. Metallia demands the Silver Crystal. Beryl reveals that the Sailor Senshi who sealed her away in the past are being revived in the present day. Beryl then has a flashback of the day she released Metallia in the past and vows the rest of the senshi will not be revived. She then sends Zoicite out again to look for the Silver Crystal.
Rei is walking home when she notices a strange man walk into her coming out of a video store. She suspects the enemy may be working from this new ship.
The next day at school; Usagi, Ami, and Makoto discuss the possibility of Sailor V being one of the Sailor Senshi. Usagi realizes she accidentally took Mamoru's watch with her when she left his apartment. Mamoru also has the handkerchief from the night of the Masquerade in his possession as well.
Usagi meets up with Naru at the end of the school day to walk home with her, when she finds out that Naru and all of her classmates are all being possessed by a strange DVD. Usagi takes one of the DVDs back to the arcade. Luna and Ami analyze the disk and they learn the enemy is behind this.
Usagi, Makoto, and Rei are all in different parts of town when people begin to riot the streets looking for Sailor Moon. Usagi transforms and uses her Moon Stick to transform a group of her friends back to normal. Zoicite attacks her right after. The other senshi show up but Zoicite is way to fast and strong for them. Just as Sailor Moon is almost beat, Tuxedo Mask arrives and saves her. Tuxedo Mask attacks Zoicite, but he retaliates and knocks back Tuxedo Mask with an energy field. Zoicite is about to throw a huge crystal shard at Sailor Moon when the mysterious warrior from the previous episode shows up. Sailor V finally arrives!
I was very impressed with the overall content of this episode. It wasn't a huge chapter in the manga, so it was able to pull off everything very well. The fight sequences were also presented better in this version then the original manga chapter. My only real complaints were this is the chapter Sailor Moon uses her attack Moon Twilight Flash, which was completely omitted from the episode. Also it should have been the last episode we see Zoicite, but as I said before the anime likes keeping the generals alive longer for some reason.
Rating: 6/10
