Information[]
Sailor Moon Crystal Season III[]
Haruka is a young tomboyish woman who prefers male clothing and masculine sports; such as race car driving. Like her companion and lover, Michiru, she attends Mugen Academy as a student. She debuts at the arcade in Episode 27 when she offers to race with Usagi; beating her easily. Haruka then notices Michiru in conversation with a handsome man, which sparks a little envy. She then leaves with Michiru.
When Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minako try to go into Mugen Academy, she blocks the way, saying that they must leave as it is not safe. She lets them go but warns that the next time they meet, she would show no mercy. Some nights later, she is ambushed by Mimete at her apartment, and she transforms into her regular Sailor form and is backed up by Sailor Pluto and Sailor Neptune.
After witnessing Sailor Moon transform into Super Sailor Moon, she reveals how her talisman reacted one time; when the Silver Millennium was annihilated. It activates to awaken Sailor Saturn. She says that the only way to prevent Sailor Saturn from awakening is to destroy her reincarnation, Hotaru. She leaves with Sailor Neptune and Sailor Pluto and watches Sailor Chibi Moon enter Hotaru's home. She is shocked to see an entirely different entity take over Hotaru's body, and snatch the Prism Heart Compact, where the Silver Crystal resides inside, from Chibiusa; killing her in the process.
She later leaves with Neptune and Pluto to confront Mistress 9. When she senses that the other four Inner Guardians are in trouble, she immediately runs to help, using Space Sword Blaster she destroys the vines covering the academy and after saving the guardians, she hugs Sailor Moon. She lets her strength be drawn into Sailor Moon so that she can transform into Super Sailor Moon and she splits up with Sailor Neptune, Sailor Pluto, and Super Sailor Moon to find Hotaru. In an elevator, she comforts Super Sailor Moon, who is uncertain as to how to face this enemy. She assures her that she feels just as frightened, as she has been alone for quite a long time while on her homeworld as solitary Guardian of the Heavens. The elevator picks up speed, and she is separated but quickly reunites with the others when Super Sailor Moon dispels the shadows with Rainbow Moon Heartache. She is suddenly approached by Soichi Tomoe, who is ready to present his hungry Diamon. She retaliates with her sword but is knocked back by Professor Tomoe, who has been completely taken over by his Diamon self-Germatoid. She extends her sword, but Super Sailor Moon tells her to stop, as the being she wants to kill was, until a few moments ago, Hotaru's father. She disregards this, saying that he is no longer Hotaru's father, but a dangerous monster that must be obliterated as he can not return to human form. After Germatoid is wiped out by Super Sailor Moon, the building starts to break up. Uranus is saved by Sailor Pluto creating a purplish-pink bubble to carry them to safety.
To prevent Mistress 9 and the incomplete Pharaoh 90 from escaping, she uses her space sword to erect a strong dome-shaped shield with the help of Sailor Neptune's Aqua Mirror and Pluto's Garnet Rod. As she has to maintain the shield, she is unable to stop Mistress 9 from absorbing the spirits' of Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus. She smiles when they are saved by Hotaru. She is amazed to see Sailor Chibi Moon, alive and well, attack Mistress 9 head-on with Pink Sugar Heart Attack, and transform into her own Super Sailor form. She later fell when the shield is broken by Mistress 9. She is helpless as Pharaoh 90 and Mistress 9 merge together as one and grow in size and strength. Upon seeing her Space Sword glow yellow and resonate, she knew instantly its significance - Sailor Saturn herself awakens within an orb of purple light. Horrified, she asks if this is the end and if she is too late to stop it all. She watches as the newly awakened Guardian of Silence starts weakening Pharaoh 90 greatly with her vast destructive powers. Unable to accept it, Uranus breaks down and admits that all she ever wanted was to protect "her" as best she could. As Sailor Saturn is hovering over the earth; ready to swing her Silence Glaive downward and bring an end to everything, she calls out to the Guardian of Silence to stop, but her plea is unheeded and she is forced to bear witness to the annihilation of the world and its people.
As the world begins to fall more into ruin, Uranus has begun to see a white-yellow light emanate from the slowly disintegrating Pharaoh 90 and that Super Sailor Moon is within, safe and sound. Sailor Uranus is upgraded into her Super Sailor form along with the other Sailor Guardians. Sailor Moon becomes Neo-Queen Serenity and heals the Earth using the Spiral Heart Moon Rod (transformed into a staff), and brings back a reborn Hotaru, who Sailor Uranus and the other Outer Sailor Guardians agree to raise together. The Outers leave with baby Hotaru, promising they will meet again someday.
