She’s basically padded the walls with plushies, and I heartily approve. Because just in case we hadn’t already figured it out, Sailor Moon is all about the power of friendship and teamwork. Look no further than the Rubeus Finale for a shining example of this, as the two Usas teamed up to win the day while Rubeus went all “party of one” and ended up as a firework. It’s only when people trust, draw strength from, and rely on one another that they succeed. In other words, characters who try to play the lone wolf (like Chibiusa in the early going, or Artemis for much of this week’s first episode, or pretty much any of our villains) fail pretty spectacularly. The following was originally posted on Dee Hogan’s blog The Josei Next Door and has been republished with permission.Īt first it was bothering me a bit that there were so many episodes this season where the scouts kinda got their butts kicked (last week’s Venus episode especially rankled me), but then I realized with this week’s pair that, insomuch as Sailor Moon R has an ongoing theme, it basically boils down to what Luna tells Artemis this week: “You can’t defeat the enemy alone.”
