Yeah, yeah, I KNOW that just about EVERY single one of you out there is downright SICK and TIRED of hearing me babble ON and ON about this whole “Sailor Moon” Thing, but HOLY CRAP this show just keeps BLOWING ME AWAY and there just ain’t NUTHIN’ I can do about it! Cackle! Cackle! Cackle!
What follows is MORE Sailor Moon gushing, skip if you want or proceed at your own risk. You have been duly warned Aha Ha Haaaaaaaaaaaaa
Sorejya…
When they revealed Usagi “Sailor Moon” Tsukino’s transformation/possession into Princess Serenity back in episode #36, I thought it was an interesting facet of her past persona, meant to be used as a metaphor for her past life’s memories, but as the episodes went by, the mystical crystal that was so heralded in earlier times was slowly staring to take over Usagi’s total embodiment- and each time the persona reappeared, she became more and more powerful, til the transformation was a thing to be DREADED rather than celebrated…
Finally, with this, the 41st episode in the series, we see for the first time the very, very, dark and utterly DESTRUCTIVE nature of Princes Serenity’s powers as she battles a youma and ends up totally decimating the place and injuring her friends who have been caught in the maelstrom as well! It has been rumoured that Usagi has within her the power to destroy the world, and for the first time, the truth of this fact has become terrifyingly proved to her!
Man, when I first checked out the Wiki synopsis about the series and read that the second half of the series was “darker” than the first half (not to mention the manga or anime, for that matter), I had NO IDEA just how TRUE that would be!!! “How Dark Can a show Like sailor Moon get?” I thought. Silly Me!
