Template:InfoboxCharacter Saphir is a member of the Black Moon Clan. He is the younger brother of Prince Dimande.

In the manga

In the anime

Saphir doesn't fight at all in Sailor Moon R. He only follows out his elder brother's orders, Saphir is the one who knows how to build or decrease the power output of their black crystal and he does so according to Diamond's wishes. He also suspects Wiseman of having evil intentions and silently watches him. He soon discovers that Wiseman is only using Prince Dimande and plans to kill him once he is done.

Wiseman kills Saphir

He barely escapes and makes it to the past where Petz lives. There he is reunited with Petz, whom he was in love with. He attempts to warn his older brother about Wiseman, but even with the Sailor Senshi attempting to help him, he was killed with two energy blasts from Wiseman. Saphir's head was bandaged by Petz earlier, and when the bandage fell off, there was no dark crescent moon on his forehead, proving his firm transition to the side of good.

Trivia

  • Saphir is the second evil henchman to turn good and then die. The first was Nephrite. Dimande himself becomes the third, though Wiseman was attempting to kill Sailor Moon at the time.
  • In the Japanese version, he only addressed his brother (Dimande) as "oniisan" (which is "elder brother" in the Japanese language) but the fact that they were brothers was omitted for most of the span of the English dub of the show.
  • In alot of other translations of the series, he is called Sapphire.
  • Early concept art suggests his name would have been Sapher.
