A series of losses hit throughout the year, and any semblance of her remaining kindness and friendliness has dissipated. All she knows is she is alone, and with a determination to avoid any more extreme change, she does what she believes is right and sets the course for Crystal Tokyo. Naoko, Takeuchi (2003). Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Vol. 3 (Shinsōban.ed.). Tokyo: Kōdansha. ISBN 4063347834.

In the original DiC English dub, Usagi is named "Serena" because the name is very close in spelling and pronunciation to "Serenity". After Mamoru faints from another stabbing pain in his chest, PallaPalla and VesVes are unsure what to make of their new foes. PallaPalla uses a mirror to read Usagi and Chibiusa's thoughts and switches their ages, while Zirconia's eyeball servant, Zircon, spies on them. Princess Serenity made a brief appearance in episode 91 along with Prince Endymion when the Spiral Heart Moon Rod was born from their love. After having their forms restored the Sailor Senshi are living their lives, normally. They are finally able to live their lives as regular teenagers for once. So, Usagi is doing well. She's happy. Sure, she had broken up with Mamoru, but now she had seven other people who love her even more. Usagi is first introduced as living the life of a normal teenage schoolgirl in 20th century Tokyo. Although well-meaning, she is an underachieving, accident-prone crybaby. One day, Usagi encounters a mysterious cat with a crescent moon on its forehead, who later reveals herself to be Luna, a mentor archetype who introduces Usagi to her new heroic role. Luna gives Usagi a magical brooch and explains how to use it to transform into Sailor Moon, the Guardian of Love and Justice; she tells Usagi that she is a Sailor Guardian who must fight for peace and find her reincarnated comrades, the Sailor Guardians, to locate and protect their charge, the Moon Princess and the mysterious and powerful Silver Crystal, from the forces of evil. Usagi is a reluctant heroine at first, [10] [11] but grows more confident and mature over time. She eventually discovers that she is the reincarnation of the Moon Princess, Princess Serenity, from the ancient civilization known as Silver Millennium, and the bearer of the Silver Crystal. She also learns that her lover from her past life, Prince Endymion of Earth, has been reincarnated in the present as well as the hero Tuxedo Mask, and seeks to reunite with him. As Sailor Moon, she sets out with her comrades to fight the villains from her past life and to protect the Earth using the legendary Silver Crystal. This provides most of the conflict, romance, and drama in both the manga and the anime.Most of the anime adaptations' transformation sequences involve the use of shiny red or pink ribbons that fly out of her brooch and form her uniform. Feathers and wings also figure prominently in some sequences, particularly the transformation into Eternal Sailor Moon. a b Takeuchi, Naoko. "Manga Style – Early Designs".

Later, she meets Mamoru in the park planning to return his watch but a portal in the sky opens and a small Usagi Tsukino demands the Silver Crystal at gunpoint. Makoto wasn't sure why she'd been the only one who'd noticed. Usagi was just that good at hiding it she supposed. But it was obvious to the Sailor of Thunder that something was wrong with her fearless leader. That she hadn't been sleeping well. While other adaptations of Sailor Moon depict Princess Serenity as gentle and similar to Usagi, the live-action series depicts Princess Serenity as colder and more severe. When she is reawakened and possesses Usagi, her singleminded infatuation with reuniting with Endymion causes her to callously disregard the safety of the other guardians and remorselessly strike down her enemies, not even caring if the Earth is destroyed.Allies: Tuxedo Mask / Prince Endymion • Luna • Artemis • Princess Kakyuu • Queen Serenity • Neo-Queen Serenity • King Endymion • Helios Untempered_Schism Fandoms: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (Anime & Manga), Sailor Moon
