Bakene

Template:InfoboxMotD Bakene is a cat-like Youma who is one of the Seven Great Youma. He was trapped inside the Violet Rainbow Crystal and reborn inside a cat named Rhett Butler. Zoisite extracted the crystal from him and transformed him into the beastly Bakene. It didn't attack much especially since it remembered Luna. The seventh Shadow was killed when Rhett Butler was healed by Sailor Moon using her Moon Healing Escalation.

Etymology

Bakene is a pun on the term 化猫 (bakeneko), which refers to a Japanese phantom cat.
