Template:Infobox anime"The Ocean! The Island! A Vacation! A Break for the Sailor Senshi" is the 21st episode of the second season of the Sailor Moon, and the 67th episode overall. The episode first aired in Japan on August 28, 1993. This episode has never been dubbed into English, and it has never aired in North America.
Overview
The Sailor Senshi go on vacation to the beach (after following Rei), and end up looking for Chibiusa, who has found a baby dinosaur on a volcanic island at the point of eruption.
Summary
Usagi, Makoto and Minako walk up the steps to the Hikawa Shrine, finding only Chibiusa minding the grounds. When they ask where Rei has gone, she says that Rei has left to a deserted island to train. They convince Chibiusa to tell them where Rei has gone off to.
Rei is practicing on the beach when the others arrive, surprising her. Although she chastises them, complaining that she had come for training, the moon cats pull out a bathing suit from her luggage.
As Makoto fishes, Minako, Usagi, and Ami play volleyball, while Chibiusa and Rei build a sand castle. When Chibiusa looks through a hole in the castle, she spies a long-necked creature in the ocean. Rei asks Chibiusa what she is looking at, but the creature has dissapeared.
The other girls comment that Rei and Chibiusa seem to get along well, but in the next scene, where Chibiusa becomes finicky over fish, the pink-haired girl stomps off in a huff about Rei having criticized her. She takes to the ocean in an inner tube, with Luna P nearby. She soon finds herself far from the beach, and circled by sharks. She falls out of her tube, and catches hold of the creature she saw earlier, a grey plesiosaur.
The others note that Chibiusa is missing and go off to find her. The plesiosaur, being chased by sharks with Chibiusa on board, heads toward an island with a volcano. As the sharks are gaining on them, Chibiusa uses Luna P to help speed the dinosaur along. They enter a cave, where Chibiusa discovers that the young plesiosaur is injured, and uses Luna P to heal it. She names the animal Kirin (Giraffe) due to its long neck.
On the boat, the others are unable to find Chibiusa, despite that they have been searching for hours. Smoke can be seen coming from the island. In the cave, Chibiusa cooks fish caught by Kirin on a hibachi grill. After they fall asleep, Kirin's mother comes and wakes the baby, urging it to go with her, but it refuses.
The volcano on the island erupts and Rei, apparently through the power of her fire ritual training, sees Chibiusa's face in the eruption. The girls transform.
In the meantime, a rockslide from the eruption has trapped the mother dinosaur and her baby in the cave. Chibiusa escapes, and the Sailor Senshi find her. They try to stop the approaching lava stream with their attacks. Sailor Mars uses Burning Mandala, Sailor Jupiter uses Sparkling Wide Pressure, Sailor Venus uses Venus Love-Me Chain, Sailor Mercury uses Shine Aqua Illusion, but nothing can stop the lava. Chibiusa requests that the Senshi save the plesiosaurs, so Sailor Moon uses Moon Princess Halation on the rockslide to free them just in time before the lava stream reaches the cave.
Waking up on the boat later, Chibiusa (not knowing yet that the five girls are in fact the Sailor Senshi) asks what has happened to Kirin. Usagi says that the Senshi saved them. The two dinosaurs appear swimming alongside the boat, Chibiusa waves, and they leave.
The episode ends with Chibiusa telling the girls that she's now willing to eat fish.
