02x89 - Usagi and the Girls' Resolve: Prelude to a New Battle

[bunniefuu]

I'm sorry I'm not straightforward,
I can say it in my dreams

My thoughts are about to short circuit,
I want to see you right now

Moonlight that makes me want to cry,
midnight that keeps me from calling

Because I'm so innocent, what should
I do? The heart is a kaleidoscope

Guided by the light of the moon

We will meet again and again

I count the sparkle of constellations
to foretell the future of my love

We were born in the same land,
miracle romance

I believe in it, miracle romance

Today's Sailor Moon is a rip-roaring
special episode!

Scenes from the new series are going
to be showing up everywhere!

That's right!

And there are rumors of a new
main character taking over...

Yup, yup, a new main character
taking over... What?!
And there are rumors of a new

Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon!

Usagi and the Girls' Resolve!
Prelude to a New Battle
Usagi and the Girls' Resolve!
Prelude to a New Battle

Whoa, what's this all of a sudden?

Who the heck are these two?

Are they our new friends?
Or our enemies?

Maybe they're dropping you
as the main character

because you're so absent minded?

I'm going to be?!

No way, right?

Ami, is this our new enemy?

Yes.

But we don't know their identities yet.

But considering those two we just
saw and these guys,

it looks like the new series isn't going
to be just a walk in the park.

Say, I'm not really sure about this,

but could this pair be sailor warriors?

Sailor warriors other than us are...

Sailor Pluto!

Any and all who break the taboo,

and attempt to approach the
doorway of space-time

shall be eliminated!

It's true, there was Sailor Pluto,

who guarded the doorway
of space-time, but...

Could that have something to do
with those two?

Oh, I know!

Luna and Artemis probably
recruited those two,

just like they recruited us!

What?!

Oh, I need to thank you first.

Thank you very much.

There!

Usagi, this is a present for you.

Really? I can have this?

Usagi, there are weird things
happening in Tokyo right now.

Usagi, there are weird things
happening in Tokyo right now.
All right! Thank you!

No way! What is this?!
I've transformed!

Usagi, we werert recruited, remember?

What is this? What does this mean?
Tell me!
Usagi, we werert recruited, remember?

We were chosen warriors of the
moon kingdom to begin with.

Oh, right, right.

Then, do you think they came from
the future like Chibi-Usa?

What?

Where did you come from?!

I'm Usagi.

What?

But King Endymion never said a word
about anything like that.

Just who are those two, I wonder?

But you know, but you know,

these two are sure to be
our friends, right?

If they were on our side, wouldn't
they show themselves properly?

Don't say that!

Then are these two our new enemies?

We can't say that for sure either.

After all, we have enemies
aside from those two.

What are these monsters?!

Are they monsters from
the Dark Kingdom?

Are they Ali and Ers Cardians?

Or Black Moon Droids?

They're not any of those, they're
a new kind of enemy.

Then, how will those two
be involved in all this?

This is the end!

Who's there?!

Oh, could it be that when
we're in trouble,

maybe they'll show up to save us,
like Tuxedo Mask does?

That would be nice, but...

Morga, you screwed up. You idiot!

I don't think we should be
taking this so lightly.

Maybe I'll just have to become
the main character after all.

Wha?!

What are you saying?!

Sailor Mars!

Sailor Mercury!

Sailor Jupiter!

Sailor Venus!

My hair flares up into the sky

My body feels like a burning flame

Oh, no. Why does this happen?

I'm really going to get mad now

I just want to fall in love and hold
onto that sweet dream in my heartache

I can't forgive them, it's all their fault

In the end, I guess I just have to do it

I'll crush the evil with my very hands

Playtime is over now.
I'll crush the evil with my very hands

Who are you?!
I'll crush the evil with my very hands

A member of the Black Moon Clan
from the Dark Moon,
I'll crush the evil with my very hands

A member of the Black Moon Clan
from the Dark Moon,
That's right, I have to keep
at it until then

Crimson Rubeus.
That's right, I have to keep
at it until then

Why are you after this child?!
That's right, I have to keep
at it until then

Our mission is to change the
future of this city.

future of this city.
Wake up, blue warriors of love

In order to do so, that girl...
Wake up, blue warriors of love

Wake up, blue warriors of love

must die.

No matter how bad the person is

If you love them, you try trusting them

If the enemy is going to change,

it's about time we change the main
character, too, don't you think?

It's about time we change the main
character, too, don't you think?
Taking advantage of that

Hey, I don't agree with that!
Taking advantage of that

Oh, Usagi, don't worry.

Oh, Usagi, don't worry.
Is something you should never do

Just leave the rest to Minako!
Is something you should never do

Wait, wait, wait!
Is something you should never do

Wait, wait, wait!

So, the time for me to be the main
character has finally come!

So, the time for me to be the main
character has finally come!
I want to protect you at all times

Hey!
I want to protect you at all times

Hey!
For you, I'll come flying

Mako, you, too? Then does that mean
we're all thinking the same thing?!
For you, I'll come flying

Mako, you, too? Then does that mean
we're all thinking the same thing?!
Only love provides boundless energy

Hello?!
Only love provides boundless energy

I agree, we should carefully
study the past data
Only love provides boundless energy

to see who will be best suited to
counter the new enemy.

Say, we just have to do it, you know?

Hey, come on.
Say, we just have to do it, you know?

Say, we won't get anywhere just
arguing among ourselves,
Say, we just have to do it, you know?

So I think a simple match of
rock-paper-scissors would be good.

We'll show them the pure hearts
that we girls have

What?! I'm super-weak at
rock-paper-scissors! You can't!
We'll show them the pure hearts
that we girls have

Okay, okay, how about arm wrestling?
We have to keep at it no matter
what happens

What?!

what happens

Arm wrestling?!

Arm wrestling?!
We have to keep at it no matter

We all know you'd win that, Mako.
We have to keep at it no matter
what happens

Yeah!
We have to keep at it no matter
what happens

We've got to go with fortune telling.

We swear upon our hearts,
warriors of love

Let's see, how's our luck for this year?
We swear upon our hearts,
warriors of love

I knew it, I'm the best for the job!
We swear upon our hearts,
warriors of love

I knew it, I'm the best for the job!

Rei, your fortune telling
isn't dependable!

Then, let's compete fair and
square with chess.

What's chess?

You even lost to Chibi-Usa.

Oh, my head hurts!
You even lost to Chibi-Usa.

Oh, my head hurts!

Say, we just have to do it, you know?

I know, everyone!
Let's do the staring contest!
Say, we just have to do it, you know?

What?!
Say, we just have to do it, you know?

You laugh, you lose! Here we go!
Three, four...

Three, four...

Three, four...
I'll crush the evil with my very hands

Let's stare at each other!
One, two, three!
I'll crush the evil with my very hands

Your faces are all so screwed up!
You look weird!
That's right, I have to keep
at it until then

That's right, I have to keep
at it until then

You lose!
That's right, I have to keep
at it until then

You lose!

Come on, if we keep doing this,

Come on, if we keep doing this,
Wake up, warriors of love

all our friends out there watching us
will turn us off.
Wake up, warriors of love

What?!
Wake up, warriors of love

No, you can't! You can't!

That would be bad.
No, you can't! You can't!

Okay, then how about we look back
on what we've done so far

and decide on the main character
for the new series that way?

No objections!

Everyone, please look forward to it.

All right! I'm getting fired up!

Come on, the main character is never
going to be swapped out!

After the commercial break,

we'll be bringing you thrilling images
from the new series as well.

Everyone, be good and wait for us.
Stay right where you are.

No way! What is this?!

This is material for the
nationwide premier!

Super top secret images from
the new series.

Oh, Rei!

Is the main character Rei?

You can't do that!

Just leave it all to me!

I'm the main character!

I'm just so perfect at everything I do.

Even at T-A school for girls,
I was an idol after all.

Miss Rei!

And just look at what I can do
in an action scene.

Impudent brat!

No matter who appears,

I have no fear of my main character
status being taken away from me.

But you know, if you become
the main character,

you might end up causing more
laughs than even Usagi.

That might not work well with how
the new series pans out.

Fire

Soul...

That won't happen!

In the end, for the new series...

She just bumped into him, and
you're getting on her case?

Talk about cheap.

You bitch!

She should be really strong,

good at ice skating,

Okay! Let's do it!

A domestic person on top of that

and good at cooking. I'm the best
suited to be the main character.

Who the heck would say all
that about herself?

Thanks for the food!

It's good!

But you still can't forget about your
old senior from school.

Hey, that goes for you, too, Minako.

Not at all. I am totally fine.

Just leave it to the original
sailor warrior, Sailor V,

better known as Sailor Venus!

Sailor V

Sailor V
After all, back when I was Sailor V,

Coming Soon

Coming Soon
they made anime shows, video games,
and even pencil boxes out of me.

They made anime shows, video games,
and even pencil boxes out of me.

I was hugely popular.

I have an especially large fan base
of kids rooting me on.

You're right. I think I do owe it
to those kids.

Why did it turn out like this?!

I can't believe this!

Oh, no!

But you know, in that episode, you
were even clumsier than me, Minako.

Oh, I can't believe you said that!

There's not much of a difference
between Minako and Usagi.

What's that supposed to mean?!

Groups of five?

Why?
Groups of five?

Why?

See?!

There's something suspicious!
See?!

There's something suspicious!

It makes you want to check it out,
doesn't it?!

Yeah, you two were like twins
in this episode.

But, but, but I'm not a dummy
like Usagi.

I'm not as clumsy as Minako!

Then that leaves me?

I'm really not enthusiastic about
being the main character.

But even as you say that, you're still
bringing up your best scenes.

Rather than showing my best scenes,

I'll do a collection of my best,
meaningful lines.

Hey, now.

You didn't use the Crystal
Disk, did you?!

You should study on your own
without using machines!

If I turn into a monster,

please do not hesitate to k*ll me!

Urawa, the future is yours to create!

If you give up, everything will happen
just as you think it will.

But as long as you have
faith in yourself,

you should be able to create
any future for yourself.

My friend told me that I should be
more honest with myself.

Miss Ami...

Sacrificing yourself is certainly
very admirable,

but if you're honest with
what's in your heart,

don't you feel that you want to
make it through alive?

Arert you forgetting

that there are people who will
grieve over your death?

Mercury! You're back!

In the end, I just can't leave you guys.

You're the one I can't forgive!

What?!

Why you! Why werert you taken in by
my auditory and visual illusions?!

You couldn't possibly understand

how our hearts are bound to
one another by trust!

Mercury!

But this isn't the time to
look back at the past.

Our next enemy is already
beginning to act.

You guys all got to do yours.
Don't you think that's unfair?

I'm doing my own section, too!

Everyone!

Even if you repaid us with nicer
haute couture dresses,

I would never forgive you for
cutting up a girl's clothes!

I am one of the Great Four of the
Dark Kingdom, Kunzite!

On my pride, I will not yell, "Refresh!"

What?!

Lmpossible!

Grovel on the ground like a frog,
and I will squash you!

Die!

What?!

Unforgivable!

No matter what...

This is the way it's gotta be!

The main character's gotta be the
well established Sailor Moon!

Well, watching these scenes,

you look like you play a serious
champion of justice, but...

What's that supposed to mean?

This is definitely not how she is
normally, after all.

Yup, yup.

She eats like a pig,

and her mental age isn't any
different than Chibi-Usa's.

And the situation with her studies
doesn't seem to have changed.

You guys are so mean!

Come on, everyone, let's leave it
at that for today.

Yeah.

I was thinking of punishing you
a little more

to make you be more aware

of yourself as a warrior and
a princess, but...

I think she already got
the message by now.

What?

Then you guys werert serious
about any of this?

That's right.

We need you so we can
be sailor warriors.

We all love you, Usagi.

You guys!

Now that I have obtained the
energy of darkness,

I will not be sealed away by
the Silver Crystal!

Everyone, lend me your strength...

Please!

Mercury Power!

Yes, I'd forgotten.
Mercury Power!

Yes, I'd forgotten.
Mars Power!

Mars Power!

For us sailor warriors, it doesn't
matter who's the main character.
Mars Power!

For us sailor warriors, it doesn't
matter who's the main character.
Jupiter Power!

For us sailor warriors, it doesn't
matter who's the main character.
Venus Power!

For us sailor warriors, it doesn't
matter who's the main character.
Moon Prism Power!

Moon Prism Power!

When we came together and
our hearts became as one,
Moon Prism Power!

When we came together and
our hearts became as one,

we were able to defeat our enemies,
no matter how powerful they were.

It's because...

What is this?!

We were able to win because
you were all there.
What is this?!

We were able to win because
you were all there.

This is...

Please, Silver Crystal, lend me
the power to protect everyone!

Oh, Chibi-Usa...

The power to protect everyone!

Mercury Star Power!

Mars Star Power!

Jupiter Star Power!

Venus Star Power!

Moon Crystal Power!

Evil power!

Begone from this place!

I, Death Phantom, the ruler of
darkness, will not be defeated...

Usako!

Usako!

Usako...

Mamo...

Thank goodness.

You guys...

Chibi-Usa!

I'm really happy to have met
such wonderful friends.

And with that spirit in mind, let's do
our best in the new series, too!

But ultimately,

we never found out if those two
are our enemies or allies,

nor did we find out what kind of
opponents our new enemies are.

Ami, don't worry!

We'll find out everything once
the new series starts.

That's right. Rather than thinking
about this and that...

We just have to march on ahead!

If we all work together,

we'll be able to stand up to even
the toughest hardships, right?

You're right.

Well, everyone, please look forward
to how our future story unfolds!

See you later!

I'll never give up, no matter
how tight a spot I'm in

That's right, that's the
sweet maiders policy

For the person I'll really meet
and cherish someday

I'll raise my chin and leap into the fray

Deep in my heart,
with a poignant ache

Love will awaken

There's nothing I'm afraid of

It's better to be passionate

I have big dreams

That's why I'll try to be brave

I'll become what I want to become

It's better to be someone
who does her best

Every so often, there are tears, too

But even so, I'll try to be brave
