#172- THE POWER OF SAILOR MOON LOVE POWER – THE END OF THE NIGHTMARE
      Saturn has Nehelenia held back with her blade, while ChibiMoon calls out to Mamoru. Saturn sees he almost responds, but holds hre guard down and Nehelenia is able to place more power in him. Saturn threatens to release death. At first Nehelenia thinks she’s joking, but then realizes she is serious, even though it would kill her. Chibi Moon begs her to stop it, and that they must have faith in their prince and princess. Nehelnia is irritated by the look of Saturn’s eyes and remembers Jupiter’s words. Eventually she seals Saturn in a mirror, just as Usagi appears. She quickly rushes to Chibimoon’s side, as she completely disappears; after saying it was ok because she believed in her. Of course Usagi cries and asks her why she is doing it. Nehelenia tels her story- when she was a child she had no friends… just beauty. She live din solitude, but finally a mirror consoled her. She allied with it, and it would give her everlasting beauty. However, when the white moon princess destroyed it and sealed her, she lost everything and became alone. She becomes enraged and attacks Usagi, over and over. She goes over to Strangle Usagi, but flips out at her when Usagu looks at her with “sympathetic eyes”. Usagi tells her she feels sorry, and she could not have endured what she did; but to only take revenge on her. Nehelenia’s curse is all of a sudden broken, and she can feel all the soldiers “hearts”. All of the soldiers, ChibiMoon, and Mamoru appear…. And at first the queen attacks them. They all put they’re thoughts into one and allow Usagi to change into eternal sailor moon, who asks the queen to recall her real dream.. She does, remembering she was looking for friends and love. She is freed from her curse, and is given another chance. She is shown as a child, who wakes as if form a dream… when she goes to go to sleep, she hesitantly asks to be sung to, and gets a yes (which she is thrilled at). All the others watch, and wish her the best.

#173- A FAREWELL AND AN ENCOUNTER— THE DESTINY OF FLOWING STARS
      Three men are shown to start, later will be known as the three lights, who say they are only here to find “her”. As they exit the viewer realizes they are stars/idols. The next scene is of the girls talking about them, and how they like all three. When they ask Usagi who her favorite is, she replies Mamuro, and they ask what is wrong. She reveals he is going to America to study, and tries to hide how upset she is. They also reveal that Chibiblusa is back in the future, so she must be lonely. Usagi is scence back at her house staring at a picture of Mamoru, Chibiblusa, and herself. Luna comes in and Usagi reveals she really wants to say no, and she isn’t that strong. Luna encourages her to see him off with a smile, for she’s matured very much. Usagi agrees. The scene switches to the airport, the next day as Mamoru stares out the window. Usagi appears, and he is surprised, he thought she had school. She practically yells—“I’ll be waiting” and begins to cry. She laughs at herself saying she meant to see him off with a smile. Then he gives her a ring, and places it on her third finger. They kiss {le sigh} and then they walk off to see him board the plane. As they walk, they notice a large crowd (the three lights) but continue on. A dark-haired well-dressed guy bumps into her, and immediately notices her (she doesn’t). The plane takes off, but she is smiling. The transition takes place with a letter to him, saying she is fine and misses him. She insinuates she does a lot with her friends. That picture changes into them all going, and seeing a film being taped live. All the girls squeeze in except Usagi, who instead ends up trying to sneak back and see the idol “Anne”. A voice yells at her, and when the person sits up it is the same figure that bumped into her. He recognizes her, but she has no clue who he is (which was a shock to him, he thought he was more popular). He walks away calling her dumpling (or meatball head), which was the same thing Mamoru called her. She sneaks back to see Anne and a scream erupts. She morphs and confronts the strange attacker. The attacker claims t be “Sailor Iron Mouse” and leaves telling her to have fun with the phage (monsters the people turned into).   This is the first appearance of the “Sailor Starlights” who aid Sailor moon in defeating the phage. This is also when Sailor moon realizes she has the power to heal the lost star seed and return them to normal.

#174 A STORM AT SCHOOL – TRANSFER STUDENTS ARE IDOLS
      Usagi is writing a letter that basically summarizes everything that has happened, and tells Mamoru that she is starting school tomorrow. The next day then, Manoko is show throwing the shot-put (I think). She is practically forced to join the track team, though she was only planning on the cooking club. Ami becomes the star player in the computer club, while Minako joins the Volleyball team. Usagi, however is in nothing… and she goes home. However, on her walk home she rams into a guy, and when they look up it was the same guy in the park. After a small fight, he walks away, and she grumbles about him being rude. The next view is of Sailor Iron Mouse reporting to her overseer, Galaxia! Mouse says she has set the next target, and in comes the next scene—usagi’s school. A large crowd gathered, and Usagi finds out that the three lights are transferring. When they appear, one of them yells out to Usagi (which shocks the others) and she finds out his name is “seiya’. He sits behind her, and soon she finds out that he is also a great athlete. In fact he gets pummeled by the Football teams captain, and Iron Mouse’s target. In the end, Mouse takes his star seed and it is a blank, and boom… another Phage. Again, the Starlights appear, and help out the gang, and Sailor Moon heals the page. Lastly, Usagi ~finally~ joins a club—the cartoon club!

#175 GO FOR AN IDOL—MINOKO’S AMBITION
      It starts with Minako trying to set up the lights (Usagi took pictures of them together so it looked like she was dating them). However, things changed when she decided to become their assistant. At the same time Iron Mouse (Sabaki) sets up another target, the photographer Miss Saki. Miss Saki also happens to be the photographer who is working with the three lights. They first go on set promoting Red Soup, then at a studio to take pictures. Usagi ends up leaving (she’s hungry). However, the lights don’t… they have work to do. Minako realizes they are pros, and being a pro means hard work…. and sometimes no meals. Iron Mouse attacks Saki when she goes to get something to drink. Minako changes and fights her. Sailor moon also appears (after being refilled by a rice ball!). Healer however is the one to stop the phage. Sailor Moon heals her. For a moment Usagi thought her experience with Saki would stop Minako… it didn’t she still had her dreams of becoming an idol.

#176 A TRUE FIGURE OF A FIGHTER-- A SHOCKING TRANSFORMATION
      It starts with the three lights practicing for a musical, and Seiya getting yelled at by the director to do it over again. Then Seiya (and usuagi and Minako) fail a math exam. Again, Seiya goes back to practice and gets yelled at by the director, Akane. Rei recognizes her as “sister Angela” a teacher at her school. Seiya and Usagi go to see if it’s the truth, and Seiya ends up confronting her. Akane yells at him, angry that he cannot “send his message” through her play, and that he is not “burning himself perfectly”. Seiya also asks Usagi if she has a boyfriend, and she answers overseas. He replies “Then I have a chance”. Seiya then decides to go for a lesson, and Akane becomes pleased with his performance. Usagi follows him, and Rei comes to drag her back. However Akane is attacked by sailor Iron Mouse.   Seiya transforms into Sailor Star Fighter, and tries to attack the phage, but Mars holds him off while Sailor Moon heals her. The next day Seiya is shown getting an A on his test and thinking I am burning myself perfectly”.
