Update 9pm - Serecindra
has the storyboards for episode 6 up!
Sixth episode synopsis is go. As always, an AMAZING HUGE INCREDIBLE SUPER
MAJOR AWESOME (that's six words because its the sixth episode, get it?)
thank you to "Claudia" for providing us with an
incredible synopsis of the sixth episode of the new live action Sailor Moon
series.
Episode 6 is the first episode since the beginning to begin without a recap of the episode before. Instead, it begins with shots of boys playing basketball, particularly a tall boy with longish hair and a tan knit hat. Usagi, and some friends, let by Naru, rush over to the fence to watch the boys. Usagi asks which boy it is that they’re interested in, and Naru tells her it’s the guy in the hat. The girls squeal and clap, and look at him through a camera. Usagi says he’s really good, and Naru tells her that he plays basketball a lot there, and
lately he’s been gaining a lot of female fans. Girls run up and give him gifts. Usagi’s friends decide they want to get closer, and rush off, leaving Usagi with the camera. ‘Hey, wait for me!’ She calls, running after them.
As she hurries to catch up with them, a basketball comes flying in front of her and slams into the wall. She stops short and ducks to avoid it.
The ball rolls away and it picked up by a boy in an orange sweatshirt, who steps out from behind a tree, followed by two other boys.
Usagi watches them warily. ‘What is this?’ The boys advance on her, dribbling the ball. ‘Hey, if you wanna learn to play basket ball, we’ll teach you.’ One says mockingly. ‘That’s ok.’ Usagi replies, but as she starts to walk away, they throw the ball in front of her face again. She looks at them. ‘Hey, watch it!’ She says indignantly. They mock her and laugh. Then the lead boy throws the ball again, this time at her head. Usagi cringes. But the ball doesn’t hit her, so she looks up slowly, to see a tall girl in a tan sailor suit (Mako, of course) standing in front of her holding the ball. She glances back at Usagi, and then hurls the ball at the boys. It hits the leader boy in the stomach with such force that he falls to the ground. ‘Are you ok?’ His friends ask. ‘That woman’s freaking strong!’ He says, as he gets up. ‘Pick it up.’ He says threateningly. The boys jeer and start to walk towards Usagi and Mako. But Mako just watches them, her face expressionless. ‘You want to me to hurt you?’ The boys asks, reaching out to grab Mako. But she grabs his hand and pushes him away so he falls to the ground. ‘That’s enough, you!’ One of the boys glares at her from his friend’s side. Mako just looks at them. The wind picks up and the tree leaves rustle. The other two boys fall to the ground. ‘We won’t forget this!’ They yell, as Mako lowers her hand. The boys run off. ‘That was so cool!’ Usagi says, a big grin on her face. ‘Thank you!’ Mako just turns back and look at her. ‘Umm…’ Usagi begins, but Mako simply walks away. Usagi stares after her. ‘I wonder what school that uniform’s from?’
(Opening)
The dark kingdom. ‘I guess the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho isn’t something to be easily found…’ Queen Beryl muses. Nephrite is bowing in front of her. ‘Yes, but…’ he stands up, and walks over, his hand earnestly pressed to his chest. ‘I will find it for you, even if I must give up my life to do so.’ Beryl smiles. And walks over to him, making hand gestures around his face. ‘How commendable. Until you do, we’ll give the human energy that Jadeite is collecting to our great Evil.’ She says. ‘That foolish boy has done nothing but fail!’ Nephrite protests. ‘Will you not wash your hands of him yet?’ ‘He is working desparately for our sake.’ Beryl says, walking away, her back to Nephrite. ‘Sometimes perhaps we must see even foolishness as commendable.’ She glances back at Nephrite, who looks very displeased. Meanwhile, Jadeite places a crystal down on a table. ‘I have to please Queen Beryl this time. I can’t let Nephrite get all the credit himself!’ Jadeite turns out to be in a room filled with candles, tables and marble statues.
At Juuban Middle School, Usagi and her friends are eating lunch. ‘You’re going to watch basketball again after school?’ She asks. ‘I wanna see Takeru again!’ Naru says dreamily. ‘Is he really that cool?’ Usagi asks. ‘Yes!’ Her friends say at once. ‘Ok…’ Usagi looks away with a little smile, thinking, ‘I think Tuxedo Kamen-sam is ten times better….’ Just then, she notices Mako walk past the classroom door. ‘Huh, why’s she here?’ Usagi murmurs. ‘Who’s she? She has on a different uniform.’ Naru observes. ‘Oh, don’t you know? That’s the new girl in class 6.’ Her friend explains. ‘A transfer student?’ ‘They say that she was kicked out of her old school for injuring people in a fight, and that’s why she transferred here.’
Mako walks out to the roof. Ami is sitting eating her lunch and reading like always. She looks up, and nods in acknowledgement. Mako nods back, and goes to the far end of the roof. Ami watches her. Mako sits down and takes out her lunch, glances back at Ami, and then starts to eat.
As Mako walks down the hall of the school, students stare at her and whisper to each other.
Mako stands outside, the wind blowing as she looks up at a tree. Someone taps her on the shoulder and she turns around to find Usagi grinning at her.
Usagi and Mako walk together. ‘I can’t believe we go to the same school!’ Usagi says. ‘Thanks a lot for yesterday!’ ‘No problem.’ Mako says. She looks over at Usagi, who looks back at her. ‘What is it?’ Usagi asks. ‘Nah, it’s just that you’re the first person who’s talked to me.’ Mako explains. ‘Oh, those rumors? I don’t believe them. I mean, you don’t look like that kind of person. They’re lies, aren’t they?’ ‘Yeah, well, either way it doesn’t change things.’ Usagi jumps down in front of Mako. ‘You’re really manly.’ She says. ‘I get that a lot.’ Mako says. Usagi smiles. ‘I’m Tsukino Usagi!’ ‘Usagi?’ I’m Kino Makoto.’ ‘Ok, Mako-chan then.’ ‘Huh?’ Mako looks surprised. ‘Have you gotten used to the area?’ Usagi asks. ‘Well, I still don’t know much about the shopping.’ Mako admits. Usagi grabs her hand and pulls her along. ‘Let’s go!’

At
the very moment this was shot Myuu mysteriously said aloud:
"Lita's got nothing on my talents!"
The rest of the cast, very confused, decided that it would be never
spoken of again. |
Usagi drags Mako in ‘Claire’s’, used clothing stores, etc and they try on various shoes and hats, and Usagi suggests different hair accessories etc to Mako. The whole time Usagi is hyper and cheerful, chattering away, while Mako smiles, the happy and someone uncomfortable smile of someone for whom going out with friends is a new experience.
Usagi and Mako eat crepes at a restaurant surrounded by flowers. ‘It must be a lot of work moving in.’ Usagi says. ‘Yeah, because I live alone.’ Mako replies. ‘No way, really? You live alone?’ ‘My parents died when I was little.’ Mako explains. ‘ I see…’ Usagi looks down. Then she brightens up. ‘There’s one more place I want to take you! Where you can go and pray when you’re in trouble!’
At Hikawa Shrine, Rei sits, talks to Luna. ‘You you can’t even tell about Sailor V’s whereabouts with your divining?’ Luna asks. ‘No, but I do feel something from her.’ Rei says. ‘Rei-chan!’ Usagi runs up. ‘Oh, Luna’s here?’ ‘What’s up?’ Rei asks. ‘There’s someone I want to introduce.’ Usagi explains. Mako comes over. ‘This is Kino Mako-chan, she’s just transferred to my school. She’s super handsome!’ ‘Nice to meet you.’ Mako smiles. ‘Same here.’ Rei says, looking Mako up and down. She continues to stare, prompting Mako to ask. ‘Is there something wrong?’ Rei starts, and shakes her head. ‘Excuse me.’ She says. From behind her, Luna gasps. Mako looks at her watch. ‘Well, I have to be going. Thanks for today.’ ‘Ok, see you later!’ Usagi waves, and Mako nods, and leaves.
‘Rei-chan, did you feel it?’ Luna asks. The two girls look at Luna. ‘She may be the forth senshi.’ Rei says. ‘No way! Mako-chan?’ Usagi is surprised. They watch Mako leave the shrine grounds.
At the basket ball court in the park, a bunch of girls, including Naru and Usagi’s friends, scream and cheer for Takeru. Mako watches from a distance, leaning up against a tree. Takeru does a jump shot, glowing red. All the girls watching him, including Mako, glow red for a moment. They look a bit surprised, and then continue to cheer for him. Mako looks around, surprised for a moment. The three boys from the other day watch her from the bushes, nodding at each other.
In Usagi’s class, Naru and her friends are sighing over snapshots of Takeru playing basketball. Haruna-sensei steals the photos, ‘This is the kind of thing you have to save for break.’ She admonishes. Then she gets a look at the pictures. ‘Oh, he’s cute! What do you all think?’ She shows the pictures to the class, who all scream fangirlishly. Usagi notices that Mako is in one of the pictures, watching near a tree. Haruna-sensei makes everyone sit down and get back to work. Usagi has a little smile on her face. ‘Could it be that
Mako-chan….’
Mako leans back against a tree. ‘Me?’ She says with an incredulous smile. ‘Like that high schooler? Not a chance!’ ‘But Mako-chan, your face looked so sad when you watched that Takeru-kun guy.’ Usagi protests. ‘Huh?’ Mako stops smiling. Usagi walks over to her with a smile. ‘Well, I’m pretty sharp about these kind of things. I guess you could say I’m in the same situation with someone else. If there’s anything I can do to help….’ She claps a hand on Mako’s shoulder, but Mako pushs it away, and walks away from her. ‘You’re wrong.’ She says. ‘Nah, I’m just interested in basketball. I mean, do I really look like the type?’ The winds blows through the tree leaves. ‘Well, you are masculine, but….’ ‘Aren’t I? See, it just wouldn’t fit me at all.’ Mako walks off. Usagi watches her go. ‘I don’t agree….’ She says softly. ‘Wait!’ She runs after
Mako.
Meanwhile, Takeru dribbles the basketball in an empty park.
At her apartment building, Mako finds a letter in her mailbox. Her eyes widen when she sees the return address. Mako sits at her kitchen table, reading the letter. The room is bare, except for furniture, and many boxes can be seen stacked up against the walls. The letter says, ‘ I’ve been interested in you for a long time. If you’d like, please meet me tomorrow at 10. I’ll be waiting at the place near the fountain. Takeru.’ Mako smiles at tiny smile. ‘It just doesn’t fit my personality.’ She says. Luna watches
her from the window. Mako stand in her kitchen, with all the ingredients for cookies spread in front of her. She begins to make them.

Yeah
yo we're going to loiter around here good.
That'll show our parents- we're rebellious!
Oh no here comes a cop!
I'm sorry, sir.
Yes I am ashamed at my choice of eyewear.
I will go home and apologize to my ancestors.
...
Man we were so cool! |
In the park, Takeru drops the ball and smiles, and crowds of girls walk towards him like zombies. Naru is one of the girls. Takeru raises his arms, and
the girls keep walking towards him.
Mako is waiting at the fountain with a colored paper bag (with cookies in it), wearing a nice sweater and khaki pants.
In the secret karaoke room, Usagi is chomping on a senbei cracker. ‘I’m sure that’s it.’ She says. ‘We can’t just decide for ourselves with no proof.’ Ami says, stiring a blue drink with her straw. She’s not wearing her glasses. ‘We can’t be sure she’s a senshi until Luna’s crescent moon really reacts.’ Rei says. ‘Not that!’ Usagi stands up, flourishing her cracker. ‘I’m talking about Mako-chan crushing on this guy.’ ‘What? That’s what you’re talking about?’ Rei asks.Usagi runs over to her. ‘It’s a big thing!’ She protests. ‘It’s a waste of time to have crushes on boys.’ Rei says, sitting down. ‘What? Rei-chan you’ve never fallen in love with a boy?’ Usagi asks, surprised. ‘No, I haven’t.’ Rei says, sounding almost offended. ‘And anyway, she’s saying herself that she’s not that type of person.’ Usagi pouts. ‘However,’ Ami puts in. ‘She was trying to hide her lunch, but I saw it, and it was home-made, and very cute. It was really feminine.’ ‘I see. So, maybe I’m right…’ Usagi muses.
Meanwhile, Mako is still waiting. She waits and waits the entire day, until finally it starts to pour. But she still waits, getting soaked. Then she hears a voice. ‘Sorry to keep you waiting.’ She looks up, and it’s….the three boys she had saved Usagi from. ‘You really thought he’d come? You really don’t know what you’re like, do you?’ They laugh at her. Her bag falls to the ground, and the cookies spill out. Luna watches from behind a post.
Usagi hits the table. ‘That’s horrible! What’s up with that!?’ She cries into the phone.
Usagi, Ami and Rei run to the fountain and find Mako, soaking wet, siting down. ‘Mako-chan!’ Usagi cries. She runs over and takes Mako’s hand. Ami and Rei follow her. ‘You know…I got my hear broken at my old school. So, even though I knew it doesn’t fit me at all…Takeru looked a little like my sempai, so…’ She picks up the bag of cookies. ‘Why do I always do this?’ She dumps the bag into the trash can next to her. She stands up. ‘It just doesn’t suit me at all.’ She starts to walk off. Usagi calls, ‘Mako-chan! I’m sorry that I said those things about your being manly! You’re a girl, Mako-chan, it’s not unsuitable at all!’ But Mako just waves a hand to them and leaves. Usagi stares after her. Then she turns back to Ami and Rei, whipping out her magic cell phone. ‘Ami-chan, Rei-chan! Don’t stop me, ok? I know they’re not youma, but I…!’ Ami smiles. ‘ I’m not going to stop you.’ She says, pulling out her phone. ‘I hate men that trick girls worst of all.’ Rei says, taking her phone out as well.
The three boys are playing basketball in the park. The ball rolls away. They go to pick it up to see Usagi, Rei and Ami standing there, having obviously used their phones to transform themselves into basketball playing sportsgirls. The three of them glare at the boys, who walk over to them. ‘Play us.’ Usagi says. ‘If you’ve got the guts.’ ‘Sounds like fun.’ The boys say.
Soaking wet, Mako makes her way back to her apartment. In the lobby, she glances at her empty mailbox. A tear trickles down her cheek. She looks over to see Takeru standing there. She stares at him. ‘You were the only one who didn’t come.’ He explains, with a smile. ‘So I came to get you. Come with me.’ He puts out his hand, and after a moment she takes it. The scene fades away.
When Mako opens her eyes, she is in a monochrome world of many candles and marble statues, filled with girls still as statues themselves. Takeru walks amongst them, laughing evilly. ‘Foolish women. Working yourselves up over a foolish crush. I’ll take all that energy.’ When he goes to touch Mako, she grabs his wrist, and pulls it down. He looks at her. ‘Why didn’t my spell work on you?’ She just stares at him. ‘You tricked them. All of these girls, they all liked you.’ ‘So did you.’ He retorts. ‘It doesn’t matter about me. But you can’t play around with the feelings of all of these girls.’ Mako says. He smiles. ‘I made sure they enjoyed it.’ He says. ‘Shut the hell up!’ Mako punches him in the face. He falls to the ground. The black and white world fades away, and all the girls are in the park, conscious again. ‘Huh? What were we doing here?’ Naru wonders.

What
a brave corporate logo. We accept the challenge of Mr. Sparkle. Awsoma
pawaa! |
Meanwhile, Usagi, Ami and Rei are playing basketball with the three boys. They win, and the boys fall to ground exhausted. The girls walk over to them. ‘Done so soon?’ They ask, tauntingly. The boys whisper to each other that they have to beat them. They get up, and begin to play another game. The boys grab Ami and Rei to try to keep them from playing, but they elbow the boys and get free. Usagi dribbles the ball. When the boy tries to stop her from shooting, Ami and Rei run in front of her, running away just as she starts running to make her shot. She jumps, obviously using some kind senshi reflexes, and kicks off on the boys head, doing a slam dunk. The boys fall to the ground, moaning, ‘They’re so tough…’ The three girls say ‘Yay!’ together.
Meanwhile, Mako backs away from Takeru. ‘How dare you! I won’t let you get away!’ He pulls off his hat, and turns into a youma. The real Takeru falls the ground. Mako backs up more, staring at the youma. The real Takeru screams like a girl, and the youma turns to him. Mako rushes over to it and pushes it away, but it throws her to the ground, and wraps the metal looking snake appendage it has around her neck, strangling her. Mako reaches out her hand to Takeru. ‘Help me…’ She says. But Takeru screams again and scrambles away. Mako-chan stands watching herself when she was young. Young Mako sits on the floor crying. Her mother and father appear, only to walk away. ‘Mom, Dad…don’t go!’ cries little Mako. She fades into Present Day
Mako.
A boy (her sempai?) is in front of her, but he walks away. ‘Don’t go!’ She cries. One by one students, adults, various people appear, only to walk away. Mako stands up. ‘In the end, I’m always alone.’ ‘Mako-chan!’ cries a voice. She looks over, to see Sailormoon appear out of the mist. ‘You’re not alone.’ Sailormoon takes her hand, and a transformation braceles appears on her wrist. ‘Transform’ Mako looks from her wrist to Sailormoon, and nods. ‘Jupiter Power, Make up!’ She transforms. ‘I’m the senshi of strength and courage, Sailorjupiter! In the name of Jupiter, I’ll punish you!’ Jupiter does ‘Supreme Thunder’ on the youma, which explodes. She looks down at herself. ‘I….’ Sailormoon walks over. Jupiter looks at her. ‘Usagi?’ She asks. Sailormoon nods. ‘Mako-chan, you and I were teammates.’ Mars walks over. ‘The reason we didn’t know at first was because you were half caught in the youma’s spell, but you won’t be tricked by men any longer.’ Mercury walks up. ‘We’re senshi, each with a different power.’ She says. ‘And you’re one of us.’ ‘I see.’ Jupiter says. ‘So that’s what it was. I always had the feeling that I had to go. But it wasn’t because I broke my heart, it was to meet my teammates.’ They smile and walk over to her, all standing in a line. ‘The four senshi have been reunited! Now let’s find the princess and Maboroshi no Ginzuisho!’ Luna says.
‘First thing is Sailor V.’ Mars says. ‘It’ll be ok.’ Sailormoon says, drawing them all together. ‘Now that we’ve got all four of us, we can do anything!’ She tells them. ‘Let’s go! Yay!’ She jumps with her fist in the air, but none of the others follow suit. ‘Com’on guys, don’t make me do it alone!’ she says. They all laugh. Meanwhile, a general with longish grey hair stands listening (Kunzite?). ‘Sailor V, huh? Sounds interesting.’ He flips his cape over his shoulder, and walks off.
The preview for next ep. Looks really interesting. More on the Tuxedo= enemy plot, Usagi going on a date with Motoki! And Sailor V has actual lines! (Usagi appears to meet a small version of Sailor V. It’s hard to tell from the clip)
So once again, many many thanks to Claudia for writing this up for us!!
Notice: Heavy Cat has updated their Gemini
Project page. Starcat
alerted me to this when it went up:
Due to some extraordinary events in the past two days, and at almost
precisely the moment (literally within hours if not minutes) we were prepared
to decide either to move on with a very dubious production effort or cancel
the project because of scheduling conflicts, somewhere a ringing phone was
answered...
...the events which followed are both inexplicable and extraordinary.
Wow, congrats to Heavy Cat! Hopefully things will work out!!
