Template:InfoboxCharacterChibiusa Tsukino is the civilian identity of Sailor Chibi Moon, and the princess of the 30th Century Earth. In the English dub, she is renamed Serena "Rini" Tsukino. This is the first animated depiction of the original manga character.
Chibiusa was bratty, slightly spoiled, and often got into fights with Usagi, even over the simplest things. She was attached to her future father, Mamoru, and even after the R season (relating to the manga), she still argued with Usagi over Mamoru, though it was unknown, if she was still attached or did it to bother Usagi. She also heavily criticized Usagi, like Rei, calling her a crybaby and clumsy.
Appearance
Chibiusa retains the same appearance that she does in the manga: pink hair tied in rabbit ear-shaped odango and red eyes.
When Neo-Queen Serenity is captured by the Negamoon family, Chibiusa is sent into the past by Sailor Pluto and warned not to return to the future before she can figure out a way to save her mother with help.
Sailor Moon R
Negamoon Arc
Chibiusa's first appearance was in Episode 14, Serena Times Two. She appeared from the future and brainwashed Usagi's family into thinking she was her cousin. However, the intervention of Luna prevents Usagi from falling under the influence of Chibiusa's magic and she is the only one among the Tsukino's who are aware of Chibiusa's nature. When Mamoru begins to experience nightmares of Usagi's demise in the event of their marriage, Chibiusa capitalizes on Mamoru and Usagi's break up and spends most of her time with him. The break up and Chibiusa's presence causes friction between Mamoru and Usagi's shaky friendship. Meanwhile, Rubeus and theNegamoon Sisters attempt to capture Chibiusa whenever the opportunity is given. Chibiusa tries several times to return home using the Crystal Key, exposing herself and her dormant power from the Moon to Wiseman's group. Usagi and the other Sailor Scouts protected Chibiusa from the Negamoon sisters, Usagi and Chibiusa grow to learn to appreciate each other more as time progresses.
In Episode 27, Rubeus Strikes Out, Rubeus captured the other Sailor Scouts and told Sailor Moon to hand over Chibiusa. In the previous episode, Chibiusa discovered that Usagi and her friends were the Sailor Scouts and had possession of the Imperium Silver Crystal. When Rubeus captured the other Sailor Scouts, Chibiusa and Usagi reluctantly worked together to save them from Rubeus after Chibiusa stole Usagi's brooch. As Sailor Moon was in a beam struggle with Rubeus, Chibiusa destroyed the crystal that was his source of power, causing Rubeus to be hit by Sailor Moon's Moon Princess Halation. Using Sailor Teleport, Usagi and the others manage to get Chibiusa off the ship as it exploded, killing Rubeus.
Becoming Wicked Lady
After fighting off several of Emerald's Negamoon monsters, the Sailor Scouts, Tuxedo Mask, Luna, and Artemis traveled into the future with Chibiusa. In Episode 37, Jealousy's Just Reward, it is revealed that Chibiusa took the Imperium Silver Crystal, which then vanished. Sailor Moon tried to awaken Neo-Queen Serenity (her future self) with the silver crystal, but it did not work, so Chibiusa ran off, where she encountered Wiseman, who convinced her that Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, and the other Sailor Scouts did not love her, and transformed her into Wicked Lady.
As Wicked Lady, she had the power to shoot an energy wave through a mirror, and create dark energy force fields. She attacked Sapphire when he discovered that Wiseman was planning to betray Prince Diamond, and left with Wiseman after Wiseman killed Sapphire.
Wiseman's intent was to use Wicked Lady to open the dark gate and send dark energy through her to destroy the world, even though she would be destroyed in the process. However, Usagi and Mamoru were able to convince Chibiusa that they did love her (they were just teaching her how to depend on herself so she will be a more well-behaved princess and future queen), and she became Chibiusa again. Then, Wiseman attacked them, and entered a beam struggle with Princess Serenity. When Usagi was about to lose, the Imperium Silver Crystal of the future appeared, having gone into Chibiusa's body when it disappeared, so she used it to transform into Princess Chibiusa. Together, both silver crystals were powerful enough to decimate the dark crystal, as Usagi and Chibiusa destroyed Wiseman with an energy explosion.
Afterward, Chibiusa returned to the future, which, with Wiseman's death, was restored to normal, and reunited with her family.
Sailor Moon S
When Eugeal began extracting people's Pure Hearts, Chibiusa returned, now with the ability to transform into Sailor Chibi Moon using the Prism Heart Compact and saying "Moon Prism Power". She attacked by using the Pink Moon Stick to use Pink Sugar Heart Attack, which sometimes had a delayed reaction, and did not do much damage, but was often a good enough distraction for Sailor Moon to destroy the Daimon.
Chibiusa became friends with Doctor Tomoe's daughter, Hotaru Tomoe. She and Sailor Moon were determined to save her from Mistress 9 when they found out she was possessed by her, and tried to stop Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune from killing her. While the Sailor Scouts were fighting Cyprin and Petirol, Kaorinite captured Chibiusa and took her to feed her Pure Heart to Mistress 9, allowing her to awaken. It was eventually returned to her by Hotaru after she destroyed Mistress 9 and turned into Sailor Saturn.
Following the defeat of Pharaoh 90, Chibiusa returned to the future, but came back to help the Sailor Scouts defeat the final Daimon, Rangy.
Sailor Moon SuperS
In the first episode, Chibiusa began having dreams about Pegasus. It was her that the Dark Moon Circus was searching for, but they did not know it yet. Hebihanabiko, the Remless, entered
Chibiusa's dreams through Pegasus in an attempt to convince her to use his power to rule the world, but she refused, and Sailor Moon destroyed Hebihanabiko.She also gained the ability to transform into a Super Sailor Scout using the Crisis Mini Moon Compact and by saying "Moon Cosmic Dream Action" with Usagi. By using the Crystal Chime and saying, "Crystal Twinkle Bell", Super Sailor Chibi Moon could summon Pegasus and enable Super Sailor Moon to use her new finishing move, Moon Gorgeous Meditation.
When Super Sailor Chibi Moon summoned Pegasus so that Super Sailor Moon could defeat the Amazon Quartet, Queen Nehelenia realized that she was the holder of Pegasus, so Zirconia used Zirkonia to extract her dream mirror (the golden mirror), and trapped her inside Nehelenia's mirror. Nehelenia made Pegasus become Helios again and took his crystal, putting Super Sailor Chibi Moon into Eternal Sleep unlike Queen Beryl's general, Jedite's.
Helios woke Super Sailor Chibi Moon up from Eternal Sleep with the last of his power, and she used the Golden Crystal (once it was taken from Nehelenia by the Amazon Quartet, who by now had switched sides) to talk to everyone on Earth and say "Moon Cosmic Dream Action" to restore the Golden Crystal's power.
Super Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Chibi Moon then defeated Nehelenia with a gold energy beam from the crystal, but she survived and kidnapped Super Sailor Chibi Moon, throwing her over the edge of the circus tent as it drew closer to the Dark Moon. As Super Sailor Moon jumped off after her, Nehelenia returned to her mirror. Helios turned into Pegasus and turned Usagi and Chibiusa into their princess forms with wings to save them from the fall.
Trivia
Chibiusa's real name, Usagi Tsukino, means "Rabbit of the Moon", like her mother's name. Her nickname "Chibiusa" means "little rabbit."
Since there is no diminutive (a grammatical form to make something smaller: e.g. cat = kitten; Usagi = Chibiusa) for the Name Serena, the translators chose to give her a nickname Serena's a full name.
