The next episode of Sailor Moon Crystal, Act 23, Covert Maneuvers – Wiseman, will be available to stream starting June 6th at 7pm Japan Standard Time, which is 6am Eastern Time or 3am Pacific Time. The show will be available on Crunchyroll, Hulu and Niconico. This week we will finally get a proper look at Black Lady, the older version of Chibiusa, a character which the show has been teasing at for the past month!
Chibiusa has been corrupted by Wiseman which has finally caused her, at the young age of 900, to mature into Black Lady. She uses her new maturity and powers to make out with her father who is at this point actually much younger than her. Hilarity ensues.
Hilarity? I thought it was the Elektra complex. Oh wait, it is!
I think we will see some hilarity on Saturday as fans of the original anime see how far Black Lady and Tuxedo Mask go. Looking forward to the reactions, assuming of course they don’t cut anything out.
If Black Lady reforms either at the end of this episode or next or following episode, will Rini be in Serena’s arms instead of Darien’s?
unfortunately rini, serena and darien are out of production, so technically they are non existant in crystal, therefore your question can not be answered… gome -nasai
Will she still be in Sailor Moon’s arms if she reforms?
We’ll find out in 24 hours, won’t we?
We’re so close to the last episode of Crystal…I really hope we get an announcement for a new season/series.
Don’t we all!
Episode 23 just watched…
Honestly, am I the only one to have ever found that the Black Moon arc plot is a mess ?
I never really cared for it either (This and Dark Kingdom I felt were pretty bland). Sailor Moon really started getting good once the Infinity arc begins and just keeps going up from there (Manga version only. Anime reaches its peak at Infinity and just keeps going down after that point). All the more reason why I hope and pray the rest of the manga gets adapted into Crystal.
well… I think that Infitnity Arc, Dream Arc and especially Stars Arc are much more difficult to be animated than first two arcs…
I agree with you, Alex… but maybe animating those arcs would force Toei to make a better job in terms of quality XD ?
Some Guy, thanks for your opinion . The Dark Kingdom arc has a good plot according to me (but it isn’t perfect), but I can understand that some people may dislike it.
Anyway, though I like Sailor Moon for a lot of things, I always felt that this manga’s potential had been wasted…
I enjoy the plot of the Dark Kingdom Arc, I think we’re all just tired of that particular arc since we’ve seen it the most.
I also like Black Moon…it just seems very dry and ho-hum this time around. Once they got to the future and Nemesis things just seemed to stop moving. Maybe that’s the horrible twice a month thing though. The pace is killing me.
