Changes[]
Changes from the Manga[]
- In the manga, Seiya and Usagi never had a date.
- Sailor Iron Mouse was killed by Sailor Star Healer.
Dub Changes[]
- In the Latin Spanish dub, the name of the movie Minako invites Taiki to watch with was changed to "El Amor de los Adultos es aventurero y apasionado" (Adult's Love is Adventurous and Passionate), which sounds more of a romantic movie. The original Japanese name was "Adults' Love XX", which seems to be an adult movie.
- Ami has a few lines after Usagi was asked for a date, but in the Latin Spanish dub, it was omitted.
- Although in the Latin Spanish dub that scene wasn't omitted nor the dialogue changed, in Argentina and other Latin American countries where the Latin Spanish dub was aired, the scene where Seiya seems to want a physical relationship with Usagi was cut completely.
- In the original Japanese dub before Sailor Iron Mouse's death, she does a riddle about horse chef and pig chef cooking tonkatsu, which is considered unanswerable. In the Viz dub, she does the Sphinx's Riddle from Oedipus Rex ("it walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening").
