The Manga Life |
Esmeraude, like most villains in the manga has a pretty short life. We first see her making promises to retrieve Selenity and the rabbit to Dimando. She attempts this incredible promise, but fails miserably. After that fiasco, we mostly see her harassing (and being harassed by) Rubius and Saffir, teasing them about their lack of success. It isn't until later that she reveals to Dimando her new plan involving use of the Wiseman's hands, which can trap, suffocate and choke her enemies. She does a number on the Senshi before Tuxedo Kamen kills her off with his 'La Smoking Bomber' attack. My opinion is that the anime version of Esmeraude is much better than the manga version. Naoko seems to have this prejudice against giving villains personalities, (with the exception of perhaps Golden Queen Galaxia) which is a real shame, because I as a whole adore villains. |
