"Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S" is the 3rd season of the anime, which involves the main antagonists, the Death Busters and the mysterious Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune seeking out Pure Heart Crystals that hold the three mystical talismans that are the keys to the mighty Holy Grail itself. In the second half of the series, the Death Busters begin to collect Pure Heart Crystals in order to awaken the deadly Messiah of Silence and bring utter destruction and obliteration upon the world. The tenth and last Sailor Guardian of the Silver Millennium, Sailor Saturn, is introduced. This season is followed by Sailor Moon S: The Movie and then the fourth season.

The season is available for streaming on Hulu, Pluto TV, Apple TV, and Prime Video.

Plot[]

Following Sailor Moon R, this season is an adaptation loosely based on the Infinity arc of the manga.

Middle School is coming to a close, with the high school entrance exam approaching fast for Usagi and the Sailor Guardians (In Japan as well as many East Asian countries, you don't just get into high school, you must pass a high school entrance exam). The Sailor Guardians devote much of their time throughout the season to study for the exam, forming study groups. As usual, Usagi has trouble being productive and staying on track.

The high school exam is not the only major concern for the Sailor Guardians though. In episode one of the season, Rei starts having visions in all of which she foresaw the world's destruction. What’s worse is a new monster appeared, stealing her pure heart crystal. When the other Sailor Guardians tried to save her, they found themselves easily overpowered by the monster, which even pinned down Tuxedo Mask. Fortunately, they were all saved by two new mysterious figures at the last second.

The mysterious figures were later revealed to be Sailors Neptune and Uranus, whose civilian identities were Michiru Kaiou and Haruka Tenou. Although both were Sailor Guardians, they refused to collaborate with the Inner Sailor Guardians. They were on their own separate mission that was to find three particular pure heart crystals, which contain the three Talismans. Coincidentally, the pure heart crystals they searched for were the same ones an evil organization called the Death Busters were looking for. The Death Busters were creating monsters assigned to locate the pure hearts, including the one that attacked Rei. As a result, Sailors Neptune and Uranus had to battle the Death Busters but always found the Inner Sailor Guardians interfering, which they didn't like.

For a while, the Inner Sailor Guardians still had no idea who Neptune and Uranus really were. By episode 109, Usagi, Michiru, and Haruka transformed in front of each other as a last resort, revealing their identities to each other. Knowing each others' secret identities, Michiru and Haruka approached Usagi one day, telling her and the other Sailor Guardians to stay out of their way.

Eudial, a member of the Death Busters, discovered that Neptune and Uranus’s pure hearts held two of the three Talismans. She lures them into a trap and gets a hold of their Talismans. All the Sailor Guardians arrive and battle Eudial but do not succeed. Sailor Pluto appears and revives Neptune and Uranus. Her garnet orb is the last three of the Talismans. Sailors Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus each use the power of their Talismans to create the Holy Grail, which gave Sailor Moon the power to become Super Sailor Moon. With her new powers, Super Sailor Moon was able to defeat Eudial.

The Death Busters created stronger Daimons to collect Pure Hearts to offer to their master, but with the power of the Holy Grail, Super Sailor Moon was able to thwart all attempts.

Trivia[]

  • The S in the title can be expanded to '’Super'’ according to the eye catch soundtrack (the lyrics say “Sailor Moon Super~”)
  • Unlike the first two seasons, this is the first season not to use the Moonlight Legends performed by Dali as its opening. The version performed by Moon Lips is used as the opening instead.
  • The part in the first opening where Sailor Moon is twirling and flying with her Heart Moon Rod, the Inner Sailor Senshi can be seen performing attacks behind her. Sailor Mars is seen performing what seems to be Mars Snake Fire. Sailor Mercury is seen performing an unknown attack that is quite similar to Sailor Neptune’s transformation sequence where a circle of water rises up. Sailor Jupiter is then seen performing an attack similar to Flower Hurricane the attack looks like a green hurricane with rose petals. Sailor Venus is then seen performing Venus Love Me Chain.
    • In the 2nd version of the opening, those attacks have been cut short due to the addition of Sailors Uranus and Neptune who are also seen performing their attacks. After Sailor Venus, Sailor Uranus appears and moved her hand in a slicing motion then light appears behind a mountain before it crumbles. Lastly, Sailor Neptune is seen riding a wave of water before Sailor Moon appears and the 6 of them line up together.
  • This is the first season of the Sailor Moon English dub to have its distribution rights transferred from DiC Entertainment and The Program Exchange to Cloverway, Inc., although General Mills continued to sponsor the first 82 episodes of the English dub until 2004.
  • This is the only season where Ikuko does not appear.
