[EPISODE] 25. Jupiter, the Powerful Girl in Love.

Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

Kana: 恋する怪力少女、ジュピターちゃん Romaji: Koisuru Kairiki Shoujo, Jupitaa chan

Original Air Date: September 5, 1992

Director: Kazuhisa Takenouchi Writer: Shigeru Yanagawa Animation Director: Hisashi Kagawa

Plot: As Zoisite tracks down the first Rainbow Crystal host, Usagi befriends her new classmate Makoto Kino.

TRIVIA

There was a Sailor Mercury doll in the claw crane game at Crown.

Crane Game Joe dropped a Wapiko doll just before his first encounter with Zoisite. Wapiko was a character from the series Goldfish Warning!, which was later turned into an anime directed by Sailor Moon series director Junichi Satou.

Joe passed a shop window with a publication called “Cooper Mini” in it. Green Mini cars were seen as Makoto fought Zoisite. The ERA Mini Turbo, produced from 1989 to 1991, was apparently quite popular in Japan.

Sailor Moon misheard “Supreme Thunder” as “Chou Cream Sundae.” Chou cream (choux à la crème), or cream puffs, is a type of French dessert.

FIRSTS

Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter and Queen Metalia were both introduced.

Makoto acquired her Henshin Pen.

Makoto transformed into Sailor Jupiter for the first time.

Sailor Moon acquired the Moon Stick.

Jupiter Power Make Up, Supreme Thunder, and Moon Healing Escalation were all used for the first time.

This was the first time that a human was turned into a youma.

The first Rainbow Crystal appeared.

A human was turned into a youma, and then restored by Sailor Moon.

A youma first said “Refresh.”

OTHER VERSIONS

DiC’s English dub (titled "Jupiter Comes Thundering in”): This was Tracey Moore’s last episode playing Usagi/Serena. Makoto’s name was changed to Lita, and Queen Metalia was now called the Negaforce. Usagi/Serena accused Makoto/Lita of attacking Joe at the cafe, but Usagi did no such thing in the original Japanese version.

[CHARACTER] Nephrite.

Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

Kana: ネフライト Romaji: Nefuraito

Role: Villain Type: Humanoid Alignment/Organization: Dark Kingdom Alias: Masato Sanjouin First appearance: Episode 13 Last appearance: Episode 24 Status: Dead Voice actor: Katsuji Mori

TRIVIA

He is named after the mineral nephrite. Like jadeite, it is a variety of jade.

Sailor Jupiter killed Nephrite early on in the manga. His death was postponed until episode 24 of the anime, though. Yet in that continuity, he was killed by Zoisite’s youma rather than by a hero.

In one of Naoko Takeuchi’s illustrations, Nephrite was romantically paired up with Sailor Jupiter. Takeuchi never had the chance to explore the idea of Princess Serenity’s four guardian Sailor Senshi being involved with the Shitennou in the manga. While the first anime and the live-action adaptation both excluded the Sailor Senshi/Shitennou couplings, they were included in Sailor Moon Crystal. In what was likely an unrelated moment, an image of the planet Jupiter appeared when Nephrite created his Black Crystal in episode 23.

Nephrite was the first villain in the anime to be redeemed.

Nephrite and Zoisite were the only two members of the Shitennou to have signature attacks with vocal calls. In episode 23, Nephrite used a technique called Starlight Attack.

Unlike his peers, Nephrite adopted a human alias and persona that lasted for more than one episode. He went by the name of Masato Sanjouin (三条院正人). Broken down, the characters in his names respectively translate to: “San” (三; three), “jou” (条; article), “in” (院; institution), “Masa” (正; real), and “to” (人; person).

Nephrite bled green blood in episode 24. After Sailor Venus injured Zoisite and Kunzite’s hands in episode 33, those two were shown to have red blood.

As he crossed paths with Mamoru in episode 18 at the museum, Nephrite had a déjà vu moment where he mistook Chiba for someone else. This could have been a reference to the manga subplot where the Shitennou were once Prince Endymion’s friends and protectors in the past. The concept was otherwise never brought up in the anime.

Masato drove a Ferrari Testarossa 512 TR.

In episode 44, Nephrite appeared along with the rest of the Shitennou in a flashback. However, he did not speak.

[MONSTER] Grape, Housenka & Suzuran.

Grape Kana: グレープ Romaji: Gureepu

ABILITIES

Vine generation: Grape could shoot tendrils from her right hand. If the youma’s vines were broken off and lodged inside of someone, the victim’s energy would be drained until they died, or the vines were removed.

Housenka Kana: ホウセンカ Romaji: Housenka

ABILITIES

Explosive hell: Housenka threw red, marble-like spheres that detonated upon impact. Sailor Mercury's Shabon Spray, however, neutralized them.

Suzuran Kana: スズラン Romaji: Suzuran

ABILITIES

Sound wave emission: Suzuran emitted powerful sound waves from her hands.

Alignment/Organization: Dark Kingdom Superior: Zoisite Type: Youma Status: Defeated by Moon Tiara Action & Fire Soul. Voice Actors: Sanae Takagi (Grape), Chie Satou (Housenka) From: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon - Episode 24

TRIVIA

These three were the last youma to be completely destroyed by Moon Tiara Action.

Housenka and Suzuran’s names were not mentioned in the episode, but they can be found in the Sailor Moon Nakayoshi Anime Album 1 and the Sailor Moon Memorial video. Those two sources are contradictory when identifying the two youma, though. Moreover, the book is considered by fans to be more official: Suzuran had dark hair and Housenka had purple hair with a red streak.

Suzuran’s voice actor is unknown because she was uncredited.

Grape was played by Sanae Takagi, who also voiced Ikuko Tsukino.

The names of all three youma were inspired by plants. A grape is the fruiting berry produced by the genus Vitis. Suzuran (鈴蘭) and housenka (鳳仙花) are the Japanese names for lily of the valley and balsam respectively.

Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

Kana: なるちゃん号泣! ネフライト愛の死 Romaji: Naru chan Goukyuu! Nefuraito Ai no Shi

Original Air Date: August 29, 1992

Director: Junichi Satou, Takuya Igarashi Writer: Sukehiro Tomita Animation Director: Ikuko Ito

Plot: Zoisite uses Naru as part of his plot to steal Nephrite’s Black Crystal.

TRIVIA

Nephrite had green blood while Kunzite and Zoisite’s blood appeared to be red in episode 33.

FIRSTS

This was Takuya Igarashi’s first episode as a director.

LASTS

This was Nephrite’s last episode. However, he had a small, non-speaking cameo during a flashback in episode 44. Footage from this episode would be shown again in episode 26.

This was the final instance where another Sailor Senshi would combine her attack with Sailor Moon’s Moon Tiara Action.

OTHER VERSIONS

DiC’s English dub (titled “A Friend in Wolf’s Clothing”): The part where Nephrite/Neflite examined Naru/Molly’s body with the Black Crystal was altered to avoid showing her nude. Yet Nephrite/Neflite being impaled by the monster’s vines was left intact. DiC utilized a split screen effect for Usagi/Serena and Naru/Molly’s telephone conversation.

[EPISODE] 22. Romance Under the Moon! Usagi’s First Kiss.

Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

Kana: 月下のロマンス! うさぎの初キッス Romaji: Gekka no Romansu! Usagi no Hatsu Kissu

Original Air Date: August 15, 1992

Director: Yuji Endo Writer: Sukehiro Tomita Animation Director: Kiyoshi Matsumoto

Plot: In search of the Moon Princess and the Silver Crystal, the Sailor Senshi, Tuxedo Mask, and Nephrite all infiltrate the Diamond Kingdom’s reception.

TRIVIA

This episode was closely based on the fourth chapter of the manga.

Ivanovich Kingdom is a fictional place. The patronymic “Ivanovich” or “Ivanović” means “son of Ivan” in Russian. An English variant of the name “Ivan” is “John.”

Usagi would accidentally become inebriated again in episode 108.

FIRSTS

Kunzite was introduced.

Mamoru’s apartment was first shown here.

OTHER VERSIONS

DiC’s English dub (titled “Worth a Princess’s Ransom”): The editors completely altered the scene where Usagi/Serena fell over the balcony. Instead of falling below with Mamoru/Darien in tow, Serena was lifted back up. The footage of her slipping was actually reversed, and the part where Usagi/Serena went looking for a place to wash the spill on her dress was used to resolve the scene. Yet once on the ground, Serena was suddenly holding the umbrella that she arrived with. In the original version, Luna tossed the umbrella to Usagi as she and Mamoru fell.
