Sailor Stars Episode 6 (172): Moon Love Power! The End of the Nightmare
Download episode
Just a brief rundown, as almost the entirety of this episode occurs in Nehellenia's throne room, and it's little more than a wrap-up to the arc.
First, as Chibi Moon and Saturn charge, Nehellenia makes the typical villain "it's going exactly as planned" and "do you think you arrived here by yourselves?" routine. Chibi tries to awaken her future father, but fails and starts fading out, making the Marty McFly parallel even more obvious.
Saturn flourishes the Silence Glaive by spinning it in the air, Western-revolver-style, and prepares to erase Nehellenia from existence, like Dave McFly's head.
Meanwhile, back in Tokyo, the cats provide some exposition on people stuck in their mirrors. Most of the montage that follows looks really weird.
Back in the throne room, Nehellenia, after claiming that Mamoru is irrevocably under her curse, attempts to blast him, just in case. Saturn shields him with a cool power.
Really, Saturn's powers are cool. They owe some of that coolness to the fact the Silence Glaive is actually longer than its wielder.
Except for one drawback: if she erases someone from existence, she will die as well. What a lame power! And that's what Nehellenia tells Saturn after the latter suffers an identity crisis, believing that "Saturn" is a third person.
Nehellenia, however, does become afraid after she realizes that Saturn means it.
Silence Glaive Surprise! (Cool power, wacky name. This happens often.)
This could be the shortest episode ever, had Chibi Moon not interrupted the attack. "Crazy Hotaru, how come she always gets sacrificed for the greater good?" Yes, it will be better for them all to die, instead of just Saturn. Who immediately gets encased in a mirror after the attack is stopped.
Who's this?
She made it, after all. Too bad Chibi Moon disappears in her hands. Now the "temporal paradox" issue is going even farther than BTTF dared to explore it.
Nehellenia (read: Palpatine) urges Usagi (read: Luke Skywalker) to fill with anger and hate, while trying to prove that she's not-really-evil-and-just-misunderstood by using a flashback from the time when she was young and cute.
After finishing the flashback, she forgets her role and goes Vader on Usagi instead of frying her with Force lightning.
But here comes a reference to a Russian children's book-turned-movie about mirrors and the land behind a mirror. I completely forgot about that one until I finished writing to this point. Turns out that this Big Bad, rather emo-ish, doesn't like the look of Big Blue Eyes of Innocence.
Usagi offers Nehellenia a generous offer: friends. As an exchange for sacrificing herself to Nehellenia's revenge. But we know that status quo is god, and when a main character tries to sacrifice themselves, something happens to prevent them from doing so.
In this case, that "something" is the mirror-shard that goes out of Mamoru's eye and shatters, breaking Nehellenia's curse. (The fate of the atoms is unknown.) The mirrors in which the Senshi were encased also shatter, and they attempt a psychological attack on Nehellenia by surrounding her. Even Chibi Moon appears out of nowhere next to that loon.
Another Force Meld scares the heck out of Nehellenia.
They don't really give her much choice, though. Usagi finally realizes that she was forgetting to transform since she arrived here, goes purple at first, and then black and white, and finally colored.
Well, as lame as the winged "Eternal" uniform looks, it does have one improvement: the sailor collar is more evident, putting the "Sailor" back in "Sailor Moon", after it was lost somewhere in the S season.
Nehellenia goes "WTF"...
She does, however, follow the advice and recall her dream when she was a child. And literally turns into a child. And is sent into the past. And thinks it was all just a dream. Which would bring us to the Zhuangzi-butterfly paradox, if not for the fact that the present-day Earth continues to exist after Nehellenia awakens.
They call it "a chance to relive her life". I call it "luckily getting out of a major screwup". Thankfully, this is the last we saw of her in the series.
And Moon even remembers to return the rose-trinket to Jupiter!
...And meanwhile, IN SPACE!, the Disembodied Voice, completely forgotten after the first episode, goes all "MWAHAHAHAHA!!!", hinting that it's another Big Bad, even bigger and badder, that we'll eventually see.

China is telegraphic 31 days release strategy of Tian Yiyun computation, louis vuitton outlet brand and solution formally external, Louis Vitton Black Check Pattern the plan rolls out the series such as memory of cloud lead plane, Louis Vitton Coffee Check Patter cloud formally at next year product of computation of day ala cloud. As we have learned, Louis Vitton Colorized Monogram this is home the trade of the first telegraphic operation that releases cloud computation strategy and solution external, Louis Vitton Leather Texture will farther stimulative home and even industry of global cloud computation grow.
According to investigation, Louis Vitton Monogram the whole world connects maneuver to calculate data capacity to will grow quickly with year of increase rate of 58% , Louis Vitton Patent Leather the cloud is calculated by accepted the revolutionary technology that lives to can change human message, Louis Vitton Ramie Cotton upgrade stimulative IT industry to change of service line of business from manufacturing industry, Louis Vitton Stripe drive whole Information Industry to develop quickly then Louis Vitton Wallets .
Relevant controller introduces Chinese telecommunication, Louis Vitton White Check Pattern frame of system of computation of day ala cloud includes resource cloud (IaaS) , ability cloud (PaaS) , cloud application (SaaS) 3 levels. louis vuitton outlet Resource cloud includes memory of cloud lead plane, Louis Vitton White Check Pattern jingruilzx cloud to wait, it is to use center of data of Chinese telegraphic cloud, network to wait to provide fundamental resource service for the client; The communication ability that ability cloud is a tradition and photograph of Internet application ability are united in wedlock, through standardizing interface, open platform ability, for software development business offers development to check moving environment, common group, make informatization application; Cloud application is to be based on resource of computation of Chinese telegraphic cloud and intelligent cloud network, open communication ability with the industry informatization application is united in wedlock, include industry and general cloud application, the desktop that be like the cloud.
As we have learned, chinese telecommunication is Shanghai world rich successfully already meeting, great fortune is met etc offerred efficient cloud computation to serve, laid applied foundation. Current, the broadband network of Chinese telecommunication has come true to be enclothed generally; Backbone network bandwidth achieves 22T, international exports bandwidth to achieve 760G, broadband user number exceeds 70 million. As " city of optical network of broadband China · " of the project start, did not come 3 years, all cities come true 20, 100M arrives door receive ability. Up to by June 2011, network of Tian Yi 3G has enclothed Chinese inland the entire county and city of prefectural class above, villages and towns of nearly 90% , abroad roam understand whole world.
Chief expresses related Chinese telecommunication, chinese telecommunication relies on the resource of data center infrastructure that spreads all over the whole nation, unified construction deploy enclothes the top-ranking cloud inside the whole nation, course of study enumerated data center, "925 " during will have provide millions station the ability of high-powered fictitious lead plane. Current, lead plane of Chinese telegraphic cloud and cloud store the service already tried business to use, will at next year formal operation. Rely on group of research and development, "925 " during, china is telegraphic compose of key focusing different cloud of cloud platform, network bears the weight of, the task such as mobile cloud application, industry cloud application, believe to be in not far in the future, cloud computation can blend in daily production and life completely, the society like making water, report is communal resource, centralize operation, plug and Play, let a netizen enjoy more convenience network service.
