This week on Moon Makeup we have an interesting mix of good filler, bad filler, and some huge movement in the plot! First it's Episode #31, Love and Chased: Luna's Worst Day Ever, as Luna gets wrapped up in some kind of weird STRAY CAT TURF WAR that makes no sense and gets saved by another cat that's in love with her. It's all very cat-focused. Oh, and there's a lot of references to Gone with the Wind, which John had no idea about until Nicole told them because they've never seen that movie! Then it's episode #32, Umino's Resolve: I'll Protect Naru, as Umino gets really creepy in his efforts to win over Naru's love. Finally we have episode #33, Enter Venus, the Last Sailor Guardian, as we actually move this plot along a little bit here! There's a fake Sailor Moon subplot that actually kind of goes nowhere, Kunzite fights the Sailor Senshi for the first time, and Queen Beryl sees Tuxedo Mask's face and is very surprised by who he is (for reasons that are not yet revealed). But of course the main story here is that we finally are introduced to the fifth Sailor Senshi (NOT the final one, despite the episode title here...), completing the team of Inner Senshi 33 episodes into the season! Hurray! This also kicks off a kind of 3-part ending to the Zoisite/Rainbow Crystal saga that will conclude next week, so stay tuned!
