The first time Sailor Moon encountered Black Lady, she tried to use the Silver Crystal to turn her back; it almost worked, but Wiseman appeared in time and persuaded her that her memories were not real and her friends and family did not really care about her.

She also develops and matures as a Sailor Soldier throughout the manga, assisted by her own guardians, the Sailor Quartet, and eventually saving Sailor Moon's life. [59] Ayano Gunji, the longest running Chibiusa actress, stated that the manga and anime of Sailor Moon was #1, and she was happy to watch the show.

Furthermore, in the anime only, Sailor Chibi Moon is given the Golden Crystal, which she uses to call on the power of dreams. In episode 128 of the anime, this gift is what causes her to become Super Sailor Chibi Moon for the first time. [13] This attraction does not transfer towards their future selves. Sailor Moon creator Naoko Takeuchi drew her that way for a reason: she wanted to show just how different this new villain, Black Lady, was from the little girl she transformed from, Chibiusa.

That's sort of bizarre considering that the gay relationship between Uranus and Neptune got completely deleted, but, apparently, if a someone is a bad guy, it's totally okay to show them in an inappropriate way in a cartoon. Although Black Lady doesn't even appear much in the anime and manga, her appearance and personality were all something her creator carefully thought about, right down to what her villain name would become.

The character is essentially the same: a brainwashed and grown up version of Mini Moon, a villainwho served Wiseman to act as a human form for negative energy.

In the manga, this form appears more frequently and receives more explanation. Because Mini Moon was so beloved by the Sailor Scouts, particularly her future parents, Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, it was important that the team figure out a way to bring her back to her true self after Wiseman transformed her into Black Lady. It is the name given to her by her parents so she often uses this to identify herself in the future. Black Lady later confronts the Sailor Guardians directly to take their Silver Crystal, discarding her birthright while summoning additional chucks of Malefic Back Crystal to speed up 30th Century Earth's destruction. [57] Misato Fukuen provides her voice in Sailor Moon Crystal.

However, although Mini Moonhad this power inside of her all along, she could not use it when she was Black Lady. She spoke about this in Sailor Moon Original Picture Collection Volume II and revealed that she was even more shocked about how much more revealing the dress appeared in the anime. When Crystal Tokyo needs saving from the Black Moon Clan, Sailor Pluto breaks the rules given to her by Queen Serenity and allowsMini Moon to travel back in time to get help. The Silver Crystal is even so powerful that if its future and past self merged, it would destroy the universe - something Demande attempted before being thwarted by Sailor Pluto. Reveal to me the path of light! Although Sailor Moon Crystal seeks to serve as an adaptation much closer to the original source, the original anime series still seems as popular as ever, even with the changes it made from the initial story. Because Wiseman filled her with his dark negative energy, she became a very powerful foe for the Sailor Scouts. It broke her heart again when Mini Moon fell under the spell of evil, because she learned that Mini Moon was, in fact, her daughter from the future - someone she certainly did not want to fight. It is her love for her mother (and Sailor Moon, who will someday become her mother) that brings her back to who she really is. She also reacts differently toward Usagi and Mamoru than she does towards King Endymion and Neo Queen Serenity, being more respectful to the latter but more spontaneous to the former;[13] it is not clear if she prefers one set over the other. "[36] This older future form is never shown or mentioned in the anime, though an older Chibiusa is shown in episode 158 when she and Usagi switch ages. Chibiusa travels through time at various points in the series[38] using the Key of Space-Time given to her by Sailor Pluto (in the manga and Crystal, she stole it). Before Usagi's discovery of Chibiusa's real identity, Chibiusa was kept under surveillance by Usagi- believing that Chibiusa may possibly be an enemy agent.

She arrives at the beginning of the second story arc and unsuccessfully attempts to go home in the middle. Chibiusa does not appear in the live-action series. Why did the original anime series take such a wide departure on certain stories and plots? [28] She also likes to collect things with rabbits on them, and belongs to the Gardening Committee at school. In the anime reboot Sailor Moon Crystal, Black Lady was also present as a shadowy silhouette to insult Rubeus as Wiseman kills him. Other changes were a little more subtle and involved the names of the characters. The first change is first seen in act 33 of the manga, when the Holy Chalice of the future allows her to turn into Super Sailor Chibi Moon (or Super Sailor Mini Moon in the English anime). Not only were relationships changed between some of the characters (for example, the gay couple of Sailors Uranus and Neptune became cousins in the North American version of the series), but entire scenes were deleted for being too provocative. In the original anime, weaponizing Luna-P rather than discard the toy when it recognized her, Black Lady's memories were greatly distorted to have her assumed that she was unloved by both her parents and gave her motivation to kill them and the Sailor Guardians. She tries to be a perfectionist and starts off trying to do everything alone and for herself.

This is when the Sailor Scouts learn what they're really up against: a powerful villain with a grudge. [2] The nickname is a combination of chibi (meaning 'small person' or 'small child') and her given name, Usagi. There was even that very uncomfortable kiss between her and Tuxedo Mask, that would probably make some feel that things had gone too far. The power of the Silver Crystal transforms Black Lady back intoMini Moon after she sees the image of her mother through Princess Serenity. The Japanese official Sailor Moon character popularity poll listed Chibiusa, Sailor Chibi Moon, Princess Lady Serenity, and Black Lady as separate entities. Although Mini Moon was a very young girl, Black Lady is a grown up, and she dresses like one. The Queen of the Moon Kingdom was Queen Serenity, after all. In these visions, Chibiusa saw everyone that she cared for blaming her for the fall of Crystal Tokyo. Terms In the manga, and later on in Sailor Moon Crystal, the story of how Black Lady becomes Mini Moon again is entirely different. Any Sailor Moon fan who has seen some of the artbooks knows that Takeuchi spends a lot of time in getting all the details of her characters just right. Besides that Mamoru wanted her to take Usagis name rather than his own, as he had absolutely no attachment to his surname. One of those differences that is most perplexing is how the anime treated Luna-P. Luna-P was a sort of magical ball thatMini Moon kept around as a child, as her only link with the world of Crystal Tokyo. In the video games, her powers were Genkaku, Dokugiri and Kamaitachi. [3] Takeuchi has stated that she did not think much about how Chibiusa's hair would look, besides it having odango like Usagi's hair and being pink; and that she used a Chibiusa doll[clarification needed] for reference on the hair. "[39] In the manga, her becoming a Soldier at the end of the second story arc is shown, whereas in the anime it happens off-screen and is not revealed until partway into the third arc. However, once Black Lady became Mini Moon again, the Silver Crystal's power became available to her and even helped her find her Sailor Scout self, SailorMini Moon.

She's alsoa character out of time and away from her mother (who is in a coma) and father (who is fighting against the Black Moon Clan). I call the true name of the almighty god of time, the time guardian's father! Deep inside that body is Mini Moon, and that is a little weird. Luna-P is a mechanical object strongly resembling Luna, which Chibiusa regards as her closest friend and which acts as her guardian. Author Naoko Takeuchi describes Chibiusa as a precocious person who likes pulling pranks. Although Chibusa had no powers beyond the small ones granted to her by having Luna-P, when she became Black Lady, that all changed. But when Sailor Pluto sacrificed herself to prevent Demand from accidentally destroying the universe with the two Silver Crystals, Black Lady emotionally broke down upon remembering her friendship with Pluto.
