None of the episodes in this season have aired in English-speaking countries, and many rumors persist as to why Toei Animation has not allowed any company to license the last series for distribution in English. The most persistent rumors are that Toei wanted more money for licensing than anyone was willing to pay, and that Toei was afraid of hurting the show's "family friendly" image due to some content in Sailor Stars (such as the nudity in the last episode, [[Haruka Tenou|Haruka]] and [[Michiru|Michiru's]] relationship, and the gender-transforming [[Sailor Starlights]]). Despite this, however, this season aired in other foreign countries with little or no controversy.
