Sailor Moon (Original Japanese Version), Season 1, Pt. 2

Nephrite uses Naru’s feelings for him to lure out Sailor Moon and, in the process, succeeds in uncovering her true identity as Usagi Tsukino. But Nephrite’s attempt to finish off Sailor Moon is cut short when he learns that Naru has been kidnapped by Zoisite, who demands that Nephrite give up his Dark Crystal in exchange for the girl’s safety.

A new girl named Makoto Kino transfers in to Usagi’s school, but her tough attitude and appearance seem to scare away all the students. Usagi, however, finds Makoto to be very cool, and the two quickly become friends. Meanwhile, the Dark Kingdom is plotting to revive the Seven Great Monsters that have been reincarnated into humans.

The Sailor Guardians grow in strength with their newest member Sailor Jupiter joining the team. Sailor Moon is appointed team leader and is handed the Moon Stick, an item that can locate the seven Rainbow Crystals. But instead of focusing on her new responsibilities, Usagi is more absorbed in trying to help cheer up Naru, who is still recovering from Nephrite’s death.

Usagi learns that a transfer student named Ryo Urawa seems to have a crush on Ami and tries to help him out. But Ryo, who secretly possesses the ability to foresee the future, finds out that he is destined to fight Ami as a monster. Knowing that he cannot escape his fate, Ryo asks Ami to kill him when that time comes.

Usagi and Naru attend an art exhibit by Yumemi Yumeno, whose works are known for helping people find love. Usagi is surprised when she and Mamoru, who also happen to be at the exhibit, are both asked by Yumemi to become models for her latest painting.

Usagi and Makoto are shocked to discover that their crush Motoki has a girlfriend named Reika. However, Motoki and Reika’s relationship is in jeopardy due to Reika being offered a chance to study abroad in Africa. Meanwhile, figuring that they have nothing more to lose, Usagi and Makoto decide to aggressively go after Motoki’s affection by whatever means necessary.

Grandpa Hino has become emotionally unstable, with angry outbursts or sudden bouts of tears, causing Rei to become worried. Grandpa Hino’s new apprentice Yuichiro tries to cheer up Rei by explaining that her grandfather's odd behavior is because of the weather. Realizing that Yuichiro likes Rei, Usagi tries to help their relationship along, only for it to backfire big time.

Usagi and her friends go meet a young girl who they believe is the holder of the seventh and final Rainbow Crystal. Their suspicions are confirmed when Zoisite comes after the girl. But when neither Usagi’s Moon Stick or Zoisite’s Dark Crystal reacts to the girl, they realize that it’s actually her pet cat that possesses the Rainbow Crystal!

Umino seems to have fallen in love with Naru. Unfortunately, Naru only considers Umino a friend, so Usagi decides to play Cupid by getting free tickets to the amusement park and urges them to go on a date together.

When the exploits of a Sailor Moon imposter become quite a sensation on the streets, the real Sailor Guardians step in to investigate. They soon learn that the whole thing is a trap set up by the Dark Kingdom to lure out Tuxedo Mask and seize the Rainbow Crystals that he possesses.

Now that Sailor V, otherwise known as Sailor Venus, has joined the team, all the Sailor Guardians are finally together! Meanwhile, Zoisite has discovered that Tuxedo Mask is actually Mamoru Chiba and challenges him to a showdown for possession of the Rainbow Crystals.

Tuxedo Mask is fatally wounded while protecting Sailor Moon. Responding to Sailor Moon’s tears, the seven Rainbow Crystals gather to form the Legendary Silver Crystal. In the process Sailor Moon is transformed into Serenity, the Moon Princess that everyone has been searching for.

Usagi is haunted by dreams of her past life and Tuxedo Mask, who has been abducted by the Dark Kingdom. A concerned Minako decides to take Usagi to a popular hair salon in the Juban District, hoping it will help take her friend’s mind off of her recent worries.

Recently, girls from rich families have been attending the Princess Seminar at the Rose Mansion. Usagi decides to take the course in order to become more princess-like, and the other Sailor Guardians join her. But unbeknownst to them, this seminar is actually a trap set up by the Dark Kingdom to find Sailor Moon.

Usagi and her friends go to a ski resort to participate in the Moon Princess Contest, unaware that it’s part of Kunzite’s plan to find and eliminate the real Moon Princess. During the ski contest, Usagi and Rei end up falling for the monster’s trap and get buried in the snow.

To commemorate the opening of the new skating rink, former Olympic figure-skating gold medalists Janelyn and Misha offer to coach groups of five girls, free of charge. Usagi and her friends sense that this is some kind of trap and decide to look into it. Four of them struggle, but Makoto, who is a master skater, gracefully glides across the ice and soon begins to receive personal lessons from Misha.

Usagi goes on a family vacation to the hot springs, where she is unexpectedly reunited with Mamoru. But due to the Dark Kingdom’s brainwashing, Mamoru no longer remembers Usagi or even who he really is.

The Dark Kingdom is trying once again to revive the Seven Great Monsters that Sailor Moon had previously defeated and restored back to humans. With five of them already under enemy hands, Sailor Mercury and Jupiter scramble to find and protect Ryo Urawa, while Moon, Mars and Venus stay behind at Hikawa Shrine to protect Grandpa Hino.

Minako receives a surprise visit from Katarina, an Interpol officer from the UK and Minako’s former partner while she was fighting crime in London as Sailor V. Minako looked up to Katarina like a real sister, and the two worked to solve many cases together until a tragic incident forced them to go their separate ways.

Sailor Moon and the other Sailor Guardians appear to have a falling-out during one of their missions. But this is actually part of a plan to draw the Dark Kingdom’s attention so that they can locate the enemy’s hideout. The girls’ plan seems to be working when a nosy journalist named Nana Asahina, who they suspect is a monster, starts approaching them.

Sailor Venus finally finds the entrance to the Dark Kingdom's hideout. The Sailor Guardians rush in, only to fall into Kunzite’s trap, which hurls them into the past. When they wake up, the girls find themselves in a world called Silver Millennium, where they meet Queen Serenity, the mother from Usagi’s past life.

In order to defeat Queen Beryl, the Sailor Guardians set out for the Dark Kingdom’s hideout located in the Arctic Circle. Having anticipated their arrival, Queen Beryl sends out the DD Girls, who ambush the Sailor Guardians. To Sailor Moon’s horror, the Sailor Guardians fall one after another as they try to defeat the DD Girls and make way for their princess to reach Queen Beryl.

Overcoming the death of her friends, Sailor Moon finally comes face to face with Queen Beryl and Endymion. Sailor Moon attempts to free Endymion from Queen Beryl’s control by using the Silver Crystal, but the brainwashing proves too powerful to be undone. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Sailor Moon finds herself forced to fight the man she loves.
