![]() I dunno if I ‘ship ’em, but I don’t not ‘ship ’em, at least. As it is, it’s still pretty weird, but SM plays both Helios and Chibs as such shy, sweet kids testing the waters of an unexpected first love that it’s hard not to get at least little caught up in the fairy tale-like nature of it all. It’s a good thing Helios is a boy not much older than Chibiusa, otherwise this story line would have zoomed into Creepsville super(S) fast. So let me get this straight: Not only is he not really an Alicorn, and not only does he not really have the Golden Crystal on him, but his name isn’t even Pegward?! YOUR BOYFRIEND SLEEPS ON A BED OF LIES, CHIBIUSA. They destroyed “Helios’s” world in their quest for the “Golden Crystal,” but while Nehellenia managed to capture his human(?!) body, his spirit escaped in Alicorn form and hid in Chibiusa’s dreams. LAST APRIL… Elysion was attacked by the Dead Moon Circus. (Okay, so it was probably, like, last April.) (Personally, I wish this episode had spent more time exploring Usagi’s transformation as well, but alas, there was plot to be had.)Ĭhibs falls asleep troubled, and “awakens” in Slumberland, where Pegward can speak to her and show off his home world, Elysion! It’s… a fixer-upper, to say the least. The situation has gotten SO dire, in fact, that he has no choice but to actually EXPLAIN stuff! Story time, y’all! “WHOA! I don’t even know what I’m gonna DO with all this junk inside my trunk!”īoth girls are pretty chill about this transformation (poor Mamoru much less so), but Chibiusa’s excitement quickly fades when she discovers she can neither summon nor talk to Pegward in her new form. Unsurprisingly, Palla-Palla has exactly as much understanding of “adulthood” as Chibiusa does, so when she hears the girls bickering, she opts to make their wishes come true. ![]() She doesn’t realize that you can’t immediately “become an adult,” because true adulthood is about experiences, and those require time. Like Minako, she’s not quite ready to let go of her childhood, so she clings to idealized “simpler” days and the goofy, carefree kid she really isn’t anymore.Īs for Chibiusa, while she’s certainly matured emotionally in the last few seasons, she still has a very limited understanding of what “adulthood” means. She’s beginning to develop romantic feelings for the first time, but since she only knows how to approach those feelings the way she sees other (older) people approaching them, she thinks that she, too, needs to be older. It also strikes me that Chibs is confusing physical age with emotional maturity. Usagi’s been astoundingly immature throughout much of SuperS, which has been frustrating but is likely a reaction to the events at the end of S (or it’s inconsistent character writing, but I try to give creators the benefit of the doubt). The Recaps Episode 158 – Little Big SatelliteĬhibiusa and Usagi get into a tiff (whaaaat? that doesn’t sound like them!) about age: Usagi’s nostalgic for the days of easy math homework, while Chibs wants to grow up so Pegward will think of her the way she thinks of him. Plot, shiny cinematography, and giggles? Sounds like a good week of Sailor Moon to me. ![]() Fittingly, Sato and Ikuhara are back in the director’s chairs this week, which might explain why both these episodes are not only quite pretty, but also hilarious. The story is back in more-or-less full force, as we (finally!) learn more about Pegward and his mysterious Dream World and forward the odd little relationship developing between Chibiusa and her magical boy. ![]()
