Pretty Soldier Sailormoon
This is the beginning of Sailormoon, a beginning that would stretch itself into a long battle that would last years.
In the city of Tokyo resided 7 crystals, when combined, will create the Mystical Silver Crystal. With this crystal, the rightful owner will become more powerful and that person would be the missing princess of the Silver Millenium.
Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon introduces the main character of the story, one Tsukino Usagi. The story begins with the young blonde going through ordinary life as she wakes up to realize that she is once again late for school. As she is rushing to school, she encounters a black cat being tormented by a group of small boys. She rescues the cat and removes the bandage on its forehead to reveal a crescent moon symbol. The cat scurries away. Later on, the cat returns again in Usagi's house. She reveals herself as Luna, searching for the one who would fight for justice, Sailor Moon. Usagi goes on a shock, hearing a cat talk, but follows Luna's advice and with the words Moon Prism Power, she transforms into the Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. She rescues the victim of the day, her friend Osaka Naru from the demon of the day and her life as an average schoolgirl is no longer existant.
Throughout the series, she meets other friends who are also Sailor Soldiers. Mizuno Ami is the first companion of Usagi's. She comes into the scene as a new student in Juuban School, the smartest amongst her peers as Sailor Mercury. Hino Rei is second, the lovely priestess of Hikawa Temple, who is Sailor Mars. Kino Makoto comes afterwards, the transfer student with the strength of a boy as Sailor Jupiter. Last but not least is Aino Minako, the bubbly blonde as Sailor Venus.
Usagi will also meet another person who would be significant in her life. That person is none other than Chiba Mamoru. He makes his entrance as the man who constantly teases Usagi for her clumsiness and stupidity. Yet, he is also the gallant, handsome Tuxedo Kamen, who races to save Sailor Moon from whatever dilemma encounters her.
Sailor Moon's main opponent in this series is the powerful Queen Beryl, who sends her assistants to gather energy from Earth, for her master, Queen Metallia. With this power, she will destroy the Earth the same way she did the Moon back in the Silver Millenium. Her first general Jedeite, finds out the identity of the three Sailor Senshi, but find his demise in eternal sleep as he failed in his mission to gather energy. Nephlyte is the second general, who gathers energy not from masses of people, but from one person at a time, by determining who had the most energy to give. He encounters death as he protects his love Osaka Naru from harm by Zoicite's minions. The final generals are Zoicite and Kunzite. By this time, they are searching for the 7 people who hold pieces of the Mystical Silver Crystal within them, so they can form the whole crystal. Zoicite discovers the identity of Tuxedo Kamen and demands that he bring the other remaining crystals to Tokyo Tower or else. At this this point, Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon discover each other's identities. It is this series where he does his one and only transformation in the entire Sailormoon legacy.
Everyone eventually discovers the long searched for Moon Princess in none other than Sailor Moon and that her true love was Tuxedo Kamen's other form, Prince Endymion. Even though Sailor Moon had the Silver Crystal, the enemies still kept trying to get it away from her, even going far enough to manipulate Tuxedo Kamen into the forces of evil. No matter how many times they tried, Sailor Moon and her fellow senshi, continued on victoriously. They fought on to defeat the final general, Kunzite and finally, they went to defeat Beryl. After a tough battle between Princess Serenity (with the aid of the ghosts of her senshi friends) and Beryl, Serenity won.
The battle was over, Beryl was gone and the girls had lost memories of their pasts as senshi and returned to their normal lives. It seemed like all was done and peace is finally restored for good. Unfortunately, that wouldn't be the case. . . .
