|
Ahahahahahahah!
Yes! Comedy! Remember, Miyu admitted that she's the one in the
bear costume.
Many thanks again to Serecindra
for the pictures! |
As always, an AMAZING HUGE INCREDIBLE SUPER (note that it gets
longer as each episode goes by) thank you to "Claudia" for providing us with an
incredible synopsis of the fourth episode of the new live action Sailor Moon
series.
FYI: Storyboards for episode 4 are up at Serecindra's
site, this-a-way.
All pictures here are from there. Go take a look and let her know what you
think. Picture hosting is courtesy of Bill
Heineman whose page you must visit as well!
The last episode review begins with scenes of Sailormars. Usagi pops up in the bunny shaped bubble. ‘We’ve found the next senshi, Sailormars, Hino Rei-chan! Usually she works
as a priestess, but….’ The clip shows Rei telling the girls she’s won’t be part of their team. Bubble!Usagi watches, and as the scene ends the bubble enlarges to full screen size. ‘No way!’ Usagi cries. ‘What do we do!?’
(Opening Sequence)
The episode opens with Usagi and Ami in the secret karaoke room. Usagi sits with her head in her hands. ‘I don’t understand Rei-chan…’ She moans. ‘To say that she doesn’t want to be part of the team….and I’m shocked that she hates karaoke…’
‘You’ll just have to convince her.’ Luna tells the girls. ‘Because the four senshi have to all be together.’
Ami looks worried. ‘But, we can’t exactly force her to join us…’ She says.
‘Yeah.’ Usagi agreed. ‘But no matter what Rei-chan says, I think of her as a team member!’ She grins. Ami gives a worried smile.
‘At any rate, we’ll think of a plan to get Rei to join, but in the meantime, there’s something else I want you two to research. Something that might be the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho.’ Says Luna
Usagi looks surprised. ‘Really?’
The Dark Kingdom. Queen Beryl paces in her throne room. ‘For them to have found three Sailor Senshi….can they really mean to awaken that insufferable princess?’ She pause, and smiles. ‘But…if the princess is around…we may be able to get our hands on the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho!’
Jadeite steps up. ‘Queen Beryl. I will find the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho…’ He says with a smug smile.
She turns to him, pointing her clawlike finger at him. ‘Silence! You boast that, when you couldn’t even collect energy properly! If you want to to be loved by me, try and show yourself useful, Jadeite. Nephrite! Are you here? ’ She yells.
Out of the darkness steps Nephrite, walking over to stand next to Jadeite. He bows. ‘At your side, Queen Beryl.’ He throws Jadeite a glare. Queen Beryl looks meaningfully off into the distance.
The Hikawa Shrine. Rei is doing a fire reading. ‘An ominous shadow is moving again.’ She says staring into the fire. Then she gets up, and leaves the room purposefully.
In town, people are gathered around watching a news program on a screen on the side of a building. On the program, a reporter stands in front of a image of a blue jewel bracelet. Says the reporter. ‘…it’s called the Maboroshi no Aozuisho (Blue crystal), and has yet to be displayed to the public. However, the current owner will reveal it to guests at her birthday party tomorrow.’
Ami and Usagi listen at the back of the crowd. ‘Luna, it’s the Aozuisho, not the Ginzuisho.’ Usagi says.
‘Well, yes, but the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho is just what we call it. ‘ Luna admits. ‘ And I’m curious about the combination of a jewel and a rich girl.’
‘Ok!’ Usagi announces, as they start to walk away. ‘So we’re crashing the party then!’
‘But…’ Ami protests. ‘We need invitations. I could ask my mother….’
‘What are you talking about, Ami-chan!’ Usagi interrupts her. ‘This is when we use these!’ She pulls out her cell phone item with such vigor that she smacks someone in the stomach with it. ‘Ow!’ Says a pissed off voice.
‘I’m sorry!’ She bows, only to realize that it is none other than Mamoru, who looks very annoyed. ‘ You again? What are you always loitering around me?’ He asks, angrily.
‘Me? You’re the one’s always loitering!’ Usagi yells back.
‘Well, anyway, why don’t you stop acting all hyper like an idiot?’ He stalks off.
‘What do you mean like an idiot!!’ Usagi yells after him.
‘Is he a friend of yours?’ Ami asks.
Usagi shakes her head vehemently. ‘No way!’
‘I think there’s something weird about him…’ Luna says.
‘That’s cuz he’s a weird guy.’ Usagi replies.
Mamoru is talking to himself determinatedly. ‘the Maboroshi no Aozuisho….Could it be…the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho?’
Nephrite, in human disguise in a red leather jacket and red hair gelled straight up, watches, his arms folded, as the announcer on TV speculates about the true nature of the crystal. ‘It’s a possibility….’ Nephrite says to himself. He walks off, passing Rei, who spins around quickly to watch him go. ‘This feeling….’ She murmers to herself.
Usagi and Ami have spotted her and run over. ‘Rei-chan! What a coincidence to meet you at a place like this!’ Usagi says, cheerfully. ‘But what are you doing here?’
‘Not much…’ Rei replies, guardedly.
‘Did you sense something from the Aozuisho?’ Luna asks.
‘Probably.’ Rei admits. ‘I got the feeling that a Youma may be on the move.’
Usagi jumps up and down in excitement. ‘So let’s research it together!! We were going to go to the party anyway!’
‘Don’t act like I’m with you.’ Rei tells her coldly. ‘ I’m do it on my own.’
Usagi is distressed. ‘Why? Rei-chan! We’re all the same senshi! We're team mates!’
‘Being a senshi and being part of the team are to different things.’ Rei says.
‘Why don’t you want to be part of the team?’ Usagi asks.
‘I’ve always been alone.’ Rei says. ‘And that’s easiest. Well then. ’ She walks off.

Worst
generals ever. |
Usagi and Ami and Luna walk down the street. Usagi hangs her head. ‘No use, huh.’ She says.
‘Well, for the time being, why don’t we just research at the party tomorrow on our own.’ Luna says. ‘I’m sure Rei
will be there also, but….’
‘Oh!’ Usagi interrupts, with a big smile. ‘What do we do about clothes!’ She walks ahead with a dreamy look on her face, clasping her hands. ‘You have to wear a dress to this kind of thing!’
‘Usagi-chan…this isn’t a game…’ Luna moans, as Ami shakes her head.
‘ I know…but it’s not very often you get to go to a party…’ Usagi protests. ‘Oh! I wanna wear this!’ She exclaims prancing over to the shop window with fancy dresses on display. Luna and Ami watch as she pulls out her magic cell phone. Ami shakes her head with a resigned sigh. Usagi uses to cell phone to change into several fancy dresses, with a big smile on her face.
The party, however, turns out to be a Halloween party, as the next shot shows people in masks and costumes, pumpkins and general Halloween
paraphernalia
Ami is wearing a black and white dress kind of like a French Maids outfit, with cat ears and whiskers painted on, holding Luna. ‘Who knew this would be a Halloween party…’ Luna says.
Ami looks around. ‘Oh. That must be Tsukino-san.’ She says without irony as a figure in a bear suit appears. Bear Suit!Usagi runs over waving her arms, and promptly falls flat on her face.
‘Are you ok?’ Ami asks, helping her up. Bear Suit!Usagi rubs her bear head.
‘Usagi-chan, get a grip…’ Luna moans.
As Ami leads Bear Suit!Usagi away, Rei walks in wearing her priestess robes and a red mask.
‘Happy Birthday Yuka’ is projected on the wall, and out comes the owner of the Aozuisho, a teenage girl wearing a pink dress, and holding a feathered mask. ‘Everyone! Thank you for coming to my birthday party!’ She says into the mic. Everyone claps. ‘Have a great time!’ She says.
The DJ tells the crowd to get wild, and says he’s taking requests.
Bear Suit!Usagi is jumping up and down in excitement. ‘This is so cool! I’ve never been to a party like this before! Hey, isn’t that some famous guy!’ She rushes off.
‘Why don’t the two of us have a look around.’ Luna says.
‘But, what about Tsukino-san?’ Ami asks.
‘She’ll be no use until her excitement wears off.’ Luna tells Ami.
Meanwhile, the owner of the jewel is talking to a policemen. ‘The unveiling is in an hour, so please guard it until then.’ She tells him. Nephrite, in General form watches from behind a plant. He places a green crystal inside the plant and a cactus like Youma appears out of it. ‘Go!’ Nephrite tells the plant youma, with a huge flourish of his cape.
The youma walks after the jewel owner and the policemen.
Bear Suit!Usagi is looking around the party for Ami and Luna. Someone bumps into her and she trips, falling face first onto Tuxedo Kamen’s chest.
‘Tuxedo Kamen?’ Thinks Usagi inside the Bear Suit. ‘It’s really him, right? He’s soo cute!’ Hearts reflect in her eyes. ‘Um…’ She begins.
‘Hey you.’ Tuxedo Kamen says. But Bear Suit!Usagi simply smiles inside the suit. ‘Tuxedo Kamen smells so good!’ She thinks, closing her eyes, and rubbing her head against his chest.
Tuxedo Kamen is disturbed as the person in the Bear Suit rubs against him. ‘What’s with this bear?’ He asks, aggravated.
Ami peeks sneakily around the corner of the hallway, in her regular clothes again. She begins to walk down the hall, but someone puts a hand on her shoulder. She turns around to see Rei, who nods at her. ‘I feel a youma.’ Rei tells her. ‘You’d better be careful.’
‘Um…’ Rei turns back at Ami’s voice. Ami continues. ‘Won’t you work together with me, not as part of the team, but as another senshi?’
Rei stares at her.
‘ I mean, I think that it’d go better with more people.’ Ami explains.
‘Well, yeah…’ Rei admits.
‘Rei-san…’ Ami says tentatively. ‘Could it be…are you scared to become part of a team?’
Rei looks at her quickly.
‘I’m sorry!’ Ami says. ‘It’s just…’ She looks down. ‘I felt like I might understand how you feel.’
Rei looks down as well, looking sad. ‘Maybe…’ She says. ‘Friends…and family…those things will break apart someday….they always have…’
Ami looks at her.
Meanwhile, Usagi is still trying to get up the courage to say something to Tuxedo Kamen. But before she can get farther than ‘Um…’ He says, ‘Sorry, but could you get off me?’, and walks away.
‘I finally got to see him again…but I couldn’t talk to him…’ Usagi laments. ‘Even though, I don’t know what to say anyway…’ She walks away dejectedly, running into the DJ booth. ‘Oh! That’s right!’ She exclaims.
Ami and Rei walk down the hallway together. Ami smiles at Rei. Suddenly they hear a man yell. They run down the hallway to find the cop unconscious on the floor, and the owner carrying the box with the jewel in it.
‘What are you doing?’ Rei asks. The girl looks at them, with a eerie green light in her face. ‘She’s possessed by something!’
‘Probably a youma!’ Ami says. Ami pushes her and grabs the box. The girl falls to the ground and the youma appears.
‘Mercury Power….’
‘Mars Power….’
‘Make up!’ The girls transform.
Sailormars pushes the Youma and it falls to the ground. ‘You take that and run!’ She says to Mercury, who is still holding the box. ‘I’ll buy us some time!’
Mercury runs out of the room. Mars does her ‘Youma Taisan!’ on the Youma, which splits into two. As Mars chases the one Youma which runs out of the room, the other Youma wraps her up in a vine. Luna peaks her head in the door.

Nephrite's
already winning the "stupidest youma" contest. |
Meanwhile, Bear Suit!Usagi hands the DJ a request for Aino Minako’s ‘C’est la Vie’. Just then her cell phone rings. ‘Hello?’ She tries to put it to the bear head but can’t hear, so she takes off the head. ‘Hello? Luna? A youma!?’ She takes off.
Mars, wrapped in the vine, has sunk to the ground. Usagi rushes in The theme song plays. ‘Wait, I’ll save you!’ Usagi says. She reaches back to undo the bear suit.
‘Huh?’ She makes a face. Mars stares at her.
‘ I can’t get this off!’ She cries, jumping around and contorting to try to get at the zipper in the back. ‘I can’t get my transformation broach out!’
The youma shoots out vines, which wrap around Usagi. ‘What is this?’ She cries.
‘Tsu…Tsukino-san!’ Mars stands up, and breaks out of her veins.
‘Rei-chan! You’re amazing!’ Usagi cries.
Mars goes over and cuts the vines off Usagi with a karate chop, ushering Usagi out of the room.
‘Hurry and take this off!’ Mars cries, helping Usagi with the zipper. ‘Seriously.’ Mars says. ‘Here I thought you were going to save me…’
‘That’s what I wanted to do too…’ Usagi admits, throwing the suit off. ‘I got it off!’ She exclaims happily.
She looks at Mars. ‘But, I was really moved.’ She says.
‘Huh?’ Mars looks at her.
‘Because you saved me! Aren’t teammates great?’ Usagi muses, with a smile.
Mars smiles a small smile back. Usagi grins at her, and Mars’ smile widens. Suddenly Mars says, ‘Oh right! Mizuno-san!’ They run off to find Mercury.
Mercury is on the roof, cornered by the two Youma. ‘Hold it!’ Usagi yells.
‘Tsukino-san!’ Ami runs over, and stands behind Usagi, posing next to Mars.
‘Moon Prism Power, Make up!’ Usagi transforms.
‘I’m the soldier of water and knowledge, Sailormercury!’
‘I’m the soldier of fire and passion, Sailormars!’s!’
‘I’m the pretty sailor suited soldier of love and justice, Sailormoon! In the name of the moon….’
The three senshi stand in their fighting poses. ‘We’ll punish you!’
The youma create a third youma.
‘No way! This has to be against the rules!’ Sailormoon wails.
Mars does ‘Akuryo Taisan!’ on the center Youma which involves a lot of fire, and many ofuda that fly at the youma. However, the other two youma heal the third one and they continue to attack.
Mercury does her ‘Mercury Aqua Beam’, but the youma heal themselves again.
‘What’s going on?’ Sailormoon aks.
‘I think we probably have to hit all three at the same time.’ Mercury says.
‘Oh, right.’ Sailormoon gets out her Moon Stick, and the senshi perform their attacks at the same time.
‘Mercury Aqua Beam!’ ‘Moon Twilight Flash!’ ‘Akuryo Taisan!’
However, the youma just get up again.
‘We have to get our timing just right.’ Mercury says.
‘Ok! Let’s go, everyone!’ Sailormoon cries. The senshi attack again at the same time, and again the youma get up. The senshi resort to some good old physical fighting, which ends in them running from the youma and hiding.
‘Its’s not working. What do we do?’ Mercury asks.
Sailormoon is singing under her breath.
‘Tsukino-san, what are you doing at a time like this?’ Mars asks sharply.
‘Don’t you hear Minako’s song?’ Sailormoon asks.
‘What about it?’ Mars asks.
‘Oh…’ Mercury gets it. ‘ If we time ourselves with this rhythm…’
Sailormoon nods.
‘Huh?’ Mars stares at them.
‘Rei-chan!’ Usagi says, ‘ I know you hate singing, but just bear with it for now!’
Mars nods.
‘Let’s go!’
The girls run out.
Downstairs, the DJ introduces the song. ‘ ‘C’est la Vie’, from Aino Minako’s second album! Requested by ‘Moon Girl’ to her ‘Masked Man’.’
The senshi circle around, singing. At the chorus, they perform their attacks. It works, and the youma disappear.
‘We did it!’ Mars cries, with a big smile. Then she realizes what she’s doing, and stops. Sailormoon and Mercury go over to her, and they smile at each other.
Nephrite walks on the roof holding the box with the Aozuisho in it. ‘If I just
give this to Queen Beryl it’ll prove my metal to her.’
‘No!’ Sailormoon yells. ‘Give that back!’
Nephrite glares at them. The senshi move forward, but out of nowhere, Tuxedo Kamen jumps in front of them.
‘Tuxedo Kamen!’ Sailormoon cries.
‘Who’re you?’ Nephrite asks, glaring.
‘Why don’t you give that back?’ Tuxedo Kamen asks threateningly.

It
was a very exciting and completely non-threatening Halloween party. |
Why don’t you try and take it?’ Nephrite taunts him. Tuxedo Kamen whips out his cane, and the two men fight. Somehow, Tux manages to knock the box with his cane, so it flies out of Nephrites hands and sails through the air, towards the edge of the building. Sailormoon runs forwards to catch it.
‘Watch out!’ Mercury yells.
‘You’ll never get it!’ Mars yells.
But Sailormoon catches it just before it sails over the edge. However, she’s standing on the very edge of the roof. She teeters and falls.
Mars and Mercury start to run towards her. Tuxedo, a horrified look on his face, runs forward and manages to grab her hand. ‘Hold on tight!’ He tells her.
‘Tuxedo kamen!’ Tux struggles to pull her up.
‘No…’ Sailormoon says. ‘Let go.’ But he continues to try to pull her up, which results in both of them falling of the roof, their hands still entwined.
Mars and Mercury rush over to the edge. ‘Tsukino-san!!’
As they fall, Sailormoon’s Moon Stick glows, and forms a protective bubble around the two. Mars and Mercury watch in awe. When they see that the bubble is floating gently to the ground, they turn around. Mercury sinks to the ground in relief, and Mars leans against the wall, eyes closed. Nephrite clicks his tongue in frustration and storms off.
Inside the bubble, Sailormoon looks around with a huge smile. Tuxedo Mask looks around in wonder. ‘What is this?’ He asks.
‘It feels so good!’ Sailormoon cries. She begins to sing the ‘C’est la vie’ song. Tuxedo watches her with a gentle smile.
They reach the ground, and the bubble disappears.
‘You saved me, Sailormoon.’ Says Tuxedo Kamen.
‘No, it was my fault anyway.’ Sailormoon protests, looking at the ground. She bows. ‘Thank you for saving me all the time.’ She tells him.
He smiles at her. ‘You….have a pretty good voice.’ He tells her.
She smile and looks away. ‘Oh, no…’ She demures.
Mercury and Mars run up calling ‘Tsukino-san!’, and she goes over to them.
‘We were worried about you!’ Mercury tells her.
‘Guess what, this sparkled, and we floated in the sky!’ Sailormoon tells them excitedly, showing the Moon Stick.
Tuxedo Kamen takes out the Aozuisho box with a big flourish of his cape. He opens it and inside it a necklace with a light blue crystal on it.
‘This wasn’t it…’ He says.
Luna comes over to him. ‘Tuxedo Kamen, are you looking for the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho too? Who are you?’
‘Who knows…’ He says coldly. ‘If we’re looking for the same thing, we may be enemies…’
‘What? An enemy?’ Luna asks. He just smiles coldly, and walks off with yet another cape flourish.
The three girls walk down the street, in their regular clothes. Usagi is singing ‘C’est la Vie’ loudly, and Ami joins in. A step behind them, Rei waves a stick in time with their singing. Ami and Usagi turn around to face her. ‘Rei-chan!’ Usagi says suddenly. ‘Let’s have a karaoke party sometime soon!’
‘You’ve gotta be kidding. I told you I hate karaoke.’ Rei says.
Usagi looks down, as if she’s going to cry.
Rei watches her and then says ‘We can have a party if we don’t do karaoke though.’
Usagi looks up, a big smile on her face. ‘Really?’ She bounces over to Rei. ‘Let’s have a party then!’
The three girls walk together. Usagi remembers all her meetings with Tuxedo Kamen that day. She smiles. ‘I give up…’ She says. Luna remembers Tux saying him might be an enemy and makes a frowning noise. The episode fades with the three girls walking side by side into the sunset
According to the preview for next episode, Jupiter does not come next episode. Next episode centers on Ami, and her warming up to Usagi. The director had mentioned he wanted to focus on the girl’s friendship and individual growth, so I guess that’s what he’s doing with this episode. It actually looks really cute, especially a clip where Ami says with as big smile. ‘Good morning….Usagi!’
Maybe Jupiter will come the episode after next.
Thank you again, Claudia!! Idiotic picture captions by me, don't blame her
for them. Serecindra will have the storyboards up within the next day or two,
so check back for those!
