Youma Information

Jadeite decided to speed up time after learning of the huge amount of energy humans expend when they are” under stress or pressed for time”. To achieve this, Jadeite dispatched his female youma. Ramwoir masqueraded as the owner of a clock store called Clock Look selling a large variety of discounted clocks and watches. The popularity of such merchandise was widely accepted by the general public including Usagi (Serena) Tsukino and her family, Naru Osaka (Molly Baker), Haruna Sakurada (Ms Patricia Haruna), and Gurio Umino (Melvin)'s mother (who bought seven). The clocks, however, have been charged with dark energy. When a clock strikes midnight, a bright light is emitted upon its customers as they sleep, speeding up their perspective of time thus causing them to become stressed and impatient. The effects of such a scheme are apparent as Usagi (Serena) Tsukino attends school an hour earlier than normal, her mother’s eagerness to complete her housework, her teacher Ms Haruna Sakurada (Ms Patricia Haruna)  who cancels class as she prepares for her four dinner dates and the general public panic as they try to rush to work despite speeding and crashing their vehicles (especially Usagi (Serena) Tsukino’s bus driver from school). The extreme strain placed upon them increases their output of energy that Ramwoir steals. Luna first noticed the effects of the clock after witnessing the bright light being emitted from Usagi (Serena) Tsukino’s newly purchased clock. Furious, she took the clock Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson) to analyse but Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson) was unable to analyse it as the bright light inside Usagi’s clock disappeared.

Sensing trouble Luna persuades Usagi (Serena) Tsukino and Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson) to investigate the Clock Look store. An impatient Usagi (Serena) Tsukino transforms into Sailor Moon and blasts a temporary hole into the door front of the shop with her Moon Tiara . Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson) who transforms into Sailor Mercury follows her but Luna was locked out after the hole fixes itself.

Once they enter the store, both Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury confront Ramwoir who reveals her true youma form to them. Ramwoir challenges them to follow her inside a grandfather clock to another dimension with unstable time fields (time can be moved faster or slower, or even forwards and backwards). In pursuit of Ramwoir they search for her inside the alternate dimension. At one point Sailor Moon is reduced to a small child, but returns to normal. After a lot of searching, Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury finally found Ramwoir towards the North-North East of the time dimension. As Sailor Moon tries to attack Ramwoir, Ramwoir freezes time around her, immobilising Sailor Moon’s legs. Ramwoir then paralyses Sailor Mercury with a zap from her palm. Ramwoir attempted to kill them with her spear, but they were saved by Tuxedo Mask, who hears their yelling from outside the clock. Tuxedo Mask disrupts the alternate dimension by striking the face of the grandfather clock with his rose. This action reverses the effects of Ramwoir’s attack as well as freeing Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury. Ramwoir was defeated after Sailor Mercury immediately used her Sabão Spray (Mercury bubbles) to cloak the alternate dimension with a fine mist followed by Sailor Moon who used her Moon Tiara to destroy Ramwoir and the alternate dimension. After Ramwoir 's destruction, the store disappeared.
