2:03-3:13 – Opening shot: We see the Senshi grouped up; Moon’s holding the Cutie Moon Rod ("Moon Sceptre" in the dub). Luna shouts “Now, Sailor Moon!”. The Cardian is destroyed by Moon Princess Halation. Ail and Ann appear, saying “Damn you! Just you remember this!” We see the Senshi on a roof and the sun rising in the background. This is the reason the Senshi (Moon especially) is late to school this morning. The dub blames the lateness on Rei’s fire readings.
7:27-7:29 – An odd cut, this is of Minako zipping up the bag she just stuffed Luna and Artemis into. I guess they don’t want kids doing that with their cats.
When Haruna goes to answer the second call from her boyfriend, a clean split-screen scene-changer moving to the left is replaced with one that has moons on it.that’s moving to the right. I can’t get a clean shot of the dub ones, sorry.
The dub Haruna has Serena and Ann write essays (“Why school is important to me” is the subject); the original has some sort of homework. The pictures below are the same in both versions. Which one do you think makes more sense? Later, when Usagi shoves a pencil up Ann’s nose, Serena accuses her of cheating. Yes, cheating on an essay.
8:43-8:49 – Usagi holds up her pinkie to Natsumi and says her [Usagi] and Mamoru are tied by the red string of fate, and a red string appears onscreen. Natsumi cuts it with a pair of scissors.
Just before the Cardian invades Ami’s class, at 11:41 the dub replaces a sign of the building it’s being held in with a shot of the park. The sign says “Absolutely Pass Cram School”. This shot is kept in the dub a few seconds later when the Cardian jumps out the window.
In the original dialogue, Haruna says she think she’s forgetting something while she’s out on her date. (Usagi and Ann are still in the school) The dub says she hopes it doesn’t rain.
At 17:35, dub Mercury says “Mercury Bubbles Blast” instead of her upgraded attack like in the original, “Mercury Ice Bubbles Freeze” (Shabon Spray Freezing in the original)
At 19:20, the dub replaces a shot of Moon jumping through the broken window on the top floor with a shot of the other four Senshi (the shot is from about a second later)
At 19:41, a shot of a Amanju (the Cardian in the episode) choking Sailor Moon is replaced with a shot of the Cardian’s hand right before it reaches Moon’s throat.
At 21:58, a shot of the Makaiju at the very end of the episode has a border around it. The shot irises out just that border pattern in the dub; the original fades out the Makaiju shot.
