If she’s shown dying alongside Neptune and Uranus in the past though, I guess that theory would be shot down… in which case I’m pretty clueless about where the Space-Time Gate Pluto fits into everything.

(Note: I posted this once already, but it seems like it got lost.)

Adam, by the way, with or without avatar we know when it’s you, since all your posts are coloured in grey .

Toei is being lazy, and the recycled art and animations from the most recent release episode, prove my point.

The battle was started off promising. Then Cyprine bragged about how no one could stop her attacks and blasted the Outer Soldiers. That as very intense, but then Mars uses her now over used stock footage of Mars Snake Fire and just disperses Cyprine’s attack. So much for being the strongest witch of the Witches 5. This happens in the manga too which makes no sense and they could have easily changed it up like the last episode which actually made the battle more intense because none of the attacks were working. It was a moment for Crystal to elevate the scene in which the manga scene just didn’t make sense or was not as interesting.

The Outer vs Inner battle was the best part. We finally get Jupiter attacking physically instead of just her magic based attack. I wish there was more of that. Then they started reusing the scenes and having flasbacks of scenes we just saw so the intensity was ruined again. They should have used more real time attacks like when Jupiter attacked Chibi Moon. The stock footage really made the battle less intense. They should have used the outers attacks as stock footage.

On the theory of Pluto. I think Pluto of the future probably was the reincarnated version until she died in the Black Moon Arc. Since she unfortunately had to spend her life guarding the door she was back at the door once again. But after she stopped time and died she was reborn again but this time on earth because she had a new mission and now got to live as a civilian. I think the problem is the fact that pluto had to guard the time door at all. That is why things get confusing because why wouldn’t they have just let someone else guard the time door so she could be reincarnated at the same time as Uranus, Neptune and Saturn(although Saturn should probably be closer to their age in that case and Pluto should be younger).

The only disappointment was the fact the Pluto didn’t transform and get her own introduction speech. That was a huge disappointment. They could have easily fit that in the last episode, had they cut sorter some of the stock footage animation for example why do we need to see Moon Spiral Heart attack in full if it wasn’t going to work anyway. Mars snake fire has been overused at this point. I was hoping Pluto would get her own transformation sequence and introductory speech at this point. Unfortunately since crystal does follow the manga closesly and so far hasn’t changed much this season, I doubt Pluto will transform since she never did in the manga. Nor did she formally introduce herself. I blame the manga author. I’ve read the rest of this season of the manga and this really was the last chance for pluto to transform and give her own speech.
