- Episode 45 of Sailor Moon, Death of the Sailor Guardians: The Tragic Final Battle, is one of, if not THE most tragic episodes of Sailor Moon...it's also written like a creepypasta. Let's talk about that! ^^

If death was final in this show, this would be a very sad episode
To be honest this finale managed to do it better what cosmos couldn't: make me care about the inner senshi's death
I grew up with the original DIC dub which naturally heavily edited this episode down. It wasn't until I was revisiting scenes from the series years later that I learned how it really went down and I was stunned. Sure it was a superhero show but these girls were in middle school! I'm watching the complete unabridged series now and I am both looking forward to and dreading getting to this episode.
honestly all of the sailor moon season finales are my favorite episodes of the show and each season.. almost all of em made me cry every time on my original watch
I cry a lot with Sailor Moon lol, but this episode, the next one, and the S finale, always always make me cry, like sobbing, bawling my eyes out.
For those who fight for those who fall
To give their lives for their princess to save the day
Ouch, thanks for reminding me of this ep 🥲🙃
Sailor Moon was probably the earliest show I ever really followed or sought out (back when eps of an anime would be posted on YT in like 7 parts, not just scenes 😆). I’m not sure Little Me really understood that the Scouts died there (I think I watched the dub), and later finding out how Takeuchi had initially intended the series to end at Beryl, it SHOOK ME 😱😭.
Coming back to it with that knowledge and after reading the manga, I remember being so INVESTED in it all 😄 Were there actual tears? Not sure but I know that each death left me Achinggggg emotionally 😫 One of these days, I gotta rewatch the original series 🥺💖
Thank you for your comment! ^^
No shame if there were tears when you came back to the ep, if the deaths don’t get me the scene at the end ALWAYS does I don’t think I’ve ever made it through this ep without crying lol
RIP Sailor Guardians
YES. GOOD EPISODE!!!
Best episode if you're fan of dramatic scenes.
But i prefer comedy, so it's not the best episode. But is one of best emotional episodes.
But i love Sailor Moon for comedy.
Oh yeah no I actually agree with that lol
I call it one of the show’s best episodes because I think it accomplishes what it wants to do in incredible fashion but my favorite episodes to watch are the comedy ones, my favorites in every season are technically “filler” comedy ones lol
the comedy episodes are crucial to making the emotional ones work for me, since they’re the ones that get you attached to the characters, they’re also the ones I actually enjoy watching/rewatching the most lol
Rambling and probably not wording well but when I say “best” I never mean objectively and also don’t even necessarily mean favorite lol. I really love episode 45 for its emotion, but said emotion is only as strong as it is because of the more lighthearted comedy episodes, if the show was all or even mostly big dramatic emotional episodes it wouldn’t be nearly as effective
@@AquaMarina369 Ah, i see! I agree ^^
@@AquaMarina369 Actually, it's the best episode to realize that you love Sailor Soldiers ^___^
