Changes[]

Changes From the Manga[]

  • This episode wasn't based on any manga act.
  • Luna barely interacted with the Three Lights members in the manga.

Dub Changes[]

  • In the Mexican Spanish dub, Noriko didn't speak in the third person.
  • Minako made a joke about Luna being picked up by a traveling troupe to teach them tricks, but this was changed in the Mexican dub to her singing a silly song, probably because the Latin American audience wouldn't get the joke.
  • None of the Starlights changed gender in the Korean dub while transforming, they were always female.
  • In the Italian dub, Luna taking a bath with Yaten was changed to Yaten bathing and grooming Luna. Minako's reaction to that remained the same, which makes it all weird.
  • In the scene where a female student gives Usagi a love letter to give to Yaten (which Usagi mistakes as being for her), the Viz dub changes Usagi's line of "Besides, it's better to be in love with a boy" to "And that doesn't mean we can't be friends in the meantime."

Trivia[]

  • This was the only episode that showed a character having a nosebleed (it is used to indicate perverted thoughts). Minako had one when Luna told her that she'd had a bath with Yaten.
  • The song that played at the end of the episode was A More Beautiful Morning Will Come, and it was the only time used in the anime.
  • There was a reference to the SuperS special "Ami's First Love", when Ami said that Yaten probably didn't like love letters either, because, in that special, it's revealed Ami couldn't stand them, as they produced her allergies.
  • For the first time, Luna wears pet clothes, which was commonly seen in real life when they take their respective pets on malls and parks.
