Template:Infobox anime"The Power of Moon Love: The End of the Nightmare" is the sixth episode of season five of Sailor Moon, and the 172nd of the overall Sailor Moon series. This episode concludes the season's first part, the Nehellenia arc. It first aired in Japan on May 4, 1996.
Summary
An injured and weary Usagi finally reaches Nehellenia's castle. Once there she realizes that all of her best and closest friends have been defeated by the Queen, however she is told more of Nehellenia's past and decides that the Queen deserves a second opportunity to fulfill her own lovely dreams as a child again.
Plot
Super Sailor Chibi Moon and Super Sailor Saturn face Nehellenia. Sailor Saturn attempts to use her mightily powerful Silence Glaive and unleash its deadly destructive powers to end all of this, but Chibi Moon stops her. Usagi finally arrives in time to see Chibi Moon disappear as the curse progresses. When the nine Super Sailor Soldiers' energy and power helps Usagi transform directly into Eternal Sailor Moon, Nehellenia reveals that she experienced a lonely childhood, but that the mirror kept her company. After Nehellenia physically assaults her, Usagi's pity breaks the curse over Mamoru.
Chibi Moon returns, all of the other Super Sailor Senshi are freed, and Eternal Sailor Moon's vast power returns Nehellenia to her childhood to give her a second chance of redemption.
