Stéphane Dumas ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Phoenix <[email protected]> Date: 27 fév, 09:37 Subject: 52 Days of BSSM - Act 11 - Saikai - Endymion To: alt.fan.sailor-moon OK, I'm back. This act focuses on Mamoru's return, who is now known as Endymion. Upon his return, he unknowingly bumps into Usagi which causes her to drop Mamoru's watch that she was holding. When she picks it up, she sees that it has started to work again. It had been working on the Moon and stopped working once they returned, obviously tied to Mamoru somehow. Endymion goes to the arcade and hypnotizes Motoki into believing that they are best friends. We get introduced to Motoki's girlfriend, Reika and as a budding geologist, she describes the four stones, Jadeite, Nephrite, Kunzite and Zoisite. We also find out that Motoki is the son of the arcade's owner. Meanwhile, the girls meet in Ami's fabulous penthouse to discuss the stone sword they brought back from the Moon with them. Minako trips in the lobby and chips the marble floor with the sword and later they shatter a diamond with it. Apparently Ami has many diamonds to spare so it is no big deal (say what!?). BTW, Minako is really clumsy-cute in this scene. It appears that the sword and possibly the old Moon Castle are now composed of a toxic stone that is harder then diamond. Usagi goes to the arcade to play the Sailor V game and runs into Endymion who is working there. Usagi is confused and wants to believe that this is really Mamoru despite Motoki's assurance that this is actually his old friend, Endou. She ends up going to the arcade every day to be near him. Endymion is also confused by Usagi's and her hairstyle, remarking that it looks like that of Sailor Moon. He finds that he cannot hypnotize her as he did Motoki. They both play the Sailor V video game incessantly while Endymion attempts to gain access to the secret control room. In the end, he hypnotizes Makoto into leading him into the control room and there is a battle with the senshi for the silver crystal. This act ends in a confrontation with Queen Beryl. Some notes about Mixxzine's treatment. They kept Mamoru/Darien's nickname, Endo; They had Usagi/Serena/Bunny calling Minako "V-babe" instead of "V-chan" which I would consider a pretty decent localization. Mamoru is taken to the dark side in the anime, but they seem to have taken it in a different direction then the manga. I think it's because this act came out in December '92, at the same time the anime was dealing with the same situation. There was simply not enough time to map the anime to the manga.
