He even attempts to question the intentions of Wiseman, and the wisdom of Prince Demand in listening to everything he says. Prince Demand reacts violently to this, accusing him of wanting the power for himself. When Prince Demand kidnaps Sailor Moon and brings her to his castle on Nemesis, she stumbles into Saphir's laboratory, where he admits that their plans were insensible and that she was guiltless, but attempts to kill her. Saphir states that he wishes to kill her because he believes all conflict comes from her and the fearsome power of the Silver Crystal. This prompts Neo-Queen Serenity to activate Sailor Moon's crystal, allowing her to transform even on Nemesis. The power pouring out from Sailor Moon causes Nemesis to become unstable. Saphir and Prince Demand are rescued by Black Lady, who leads them to Wiseman's castle. Wiseman attacks them with a mind controlling spell and loans Saphir the use of his "Demon Hands". When it is revealed that Demand's "Evil Eye" rendered him immune to Wiseman's spell, Saphir attacks him and is killed by his brother. |
