Eudial (ユージアル, Yūjiaru) is a member of the Witches 5 and is the first member to confront the Sailor Guardians. She is a level 78 witch and the 4th strongest member of the Witches 5. As Yuko Arimura, she teaches the philosophy and etiquette class at Mugen Academy.
Nomenclature & Etymology[]
Etymology[]
Eudial is named after Eudialyte, a rare red-colored silicate mineral.
The kanji in Eudial's alias surname translates to either "exist" or "maintain" (有) and "village" (村). Her given name "Yuko" (ゆうこ), is written in hiragana, and thus, can have multiple meanings such as "gentile child", "eternal child", or "abundant child".
Appearance[]
Eudial has shoulder-length red hair tied into two loose ponytails, one in the back and one on the left side of her head. Like the other members of the Witches 5 organization, she has a black star ornament located on her neck hanging from a red flower-shaped object made from an unknown material with violet tassels dangling from it. She wears a sleeveless crop top and a pair of red baggy gym pants, coupled with a black pleated belt/skirt adorned with a single red star. She wears red star-shaped earrings a red bracelet on each wrist and a set of brass knuckles. Her footwear is a pair of red, cross-laced high heels. Her Daimon form is a Gorgon monster with a black star on her forehead.
Information[]
Eudial first appears in Act 27. She, as Yuko Arimura, accompanied her students to a school camp on Mount M, and coincidentally the Inner Guardians are staying nearby, visiting Rei at her training camp.
During the night, Eudial leads her students in a special ritual which is intended to sacrifice their souls to her master, Pharaoh 90. Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter discover her, however, and interrupt the ritual. When Eudial is hit by Sailor Mars' Mars Snake Fire attack, she transformers into her gorgon Daimon form and is killed by Sailor Moon.
Eudial is briefly resurrected, along with the other witches 5, by Kaolinite in Act 34. After being separated from the other guardians, Sailor Mars makes her way to the Etiquette classroom. She bursts in to find Eudial in her Yuko Arimura guise. Eudial chides her for having no manners, and as the instructor of the etiquette will teach her. Sailor Mars is shocked to see her but is rather impressed that she hasn't given up. Eudial kicks her and she falls to the floor. She calls her weak and concludes that she isn't willing to protect Sailor Moon, only wanting to further her training. In the end, the Outer Sailor Guardians are able to break into Mugen Academy with Sailor Uranus' Space Sword Blaster destroying the vines surrounding the academy. Sailor Neptune's Submarine Reflection destroying the Witches 5 for good and Sailor Pluto's Chronos Typhoon frees the Inner Sailor Guardians by Space Sword Blaster, Chronos Typhoon, and Submarine Reflection.
