Beryl is sooo bad ass. Such an underrated villain. Wish we could see a bit more of her backstory. We get glimpses but wish there was more, it’s so good.
One more trope, maybe, but: Name of Nastiness. (Name of Evil?) Beryl, like her minions, is named after a mineral. In this case, beryl the mineral contains the element beryllium, more or less its overall namesake... Which is a particularly nasty, reactive element that is known for its toxicity. MSDS information includes such gems on this material like NFPA 704 (The Fire Diamond) With the following codes: Blue - 4 (Short exposure causes death), Red - 3 (can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions) , and Yellow - 3. (capable of detonation or explosive decomposition, but usually requires elevated temperatures or confinement). (Keep in mind, on the Fire Diamond, 0 is pretty much safe, while 4 is the max at more or less 'OH DEAR GOD NO!') - Signal Word: 'DANGER'. - Contains hazard statements such as H330 'Fatal if inhaled', H350i 'May cause cancer by inhalation', H372 'may cause damage to organs through prolonged exposure'. In some greater detail, per Wikipedia: "Beryllium is chemically similar to magnesium and therefore can displace it from enzymes, which causes them to malfunction. Because Be2+ is a highly charged and small ion, it can easily get into many tissues and cells, where it specifically targets cell nuclei, inhibiting many enzymes, including those used for synthesizing DNA. Its toxicity is exacerbated by the fact that the body has no means to control beryllium levels, and once inside the body, beryllium cannot be removed." So basically... _INCREDIBLY_ toxic, causes cancer, easily burns, is modestly volatile, and you just can't get rid of it. Yeah, I think this describes Queen Beryl.
Yes that is a PERFECT one for her!! I always loved her name for her too, so that’s amazing. Thank you so much for teaching me something new about the Sailor Moon world! ❤️
@@TheSilverCrystal Naoko was I believe in medical school when she started her Manga (and later Anime) career. Probably had some fun with bio-chemistry and Beryl's name is not coincidental. (Also, if I'm remembering correctly, Ami is supposed to be Naoko's in-story proxy.)
Yes, I did know she was attending medical school at this point! Or had already graduated... something like that. So yes, I did know the names derived from minerals, but I never knew those facts about WHAT Beryl is (the mineral) so thanks for enlightening me :) @@atigerclaw
Yep, spot on description to a tee! Naoko Takeuchi really made sure that the character of Queen Beryl would be written to be as vicious and intimidating as humanly possible. And people wonder why Queen Beryl's minions fear her.
Nice job! I'm still sad that Venus got her shining moment of killing Beryl taken away from her in Crystal. I wouldn't mind seeing one done for both Black Lady and Galaxia. I'm a bit biased since Galaxia is my favourite villain.
Thank you so much! It truly means a lot. I love SM and want more content out there on it! Dude when I was researching footage for this video I totally saw/ remembered that?!!? WTF?!?!!? That pisses me off so bad. What? Because "too violent"??? Ridiculous!
Honestly, her and the mirror queen both have a weird love interest in prince Darien, and controlling him in the process, I literally heard that she was the weakest villains, but she's literally after the princess and her lore was powerfully, that's all I know ✨
Hi friend!!! :) I also love that she has strong connections to the past/The Silver Millennium. And, that she is the FIRST Sailor Moon villain. Arc 1 was so iconic honestly!
How was Queen Beryl, the weakest sailor moon villain, when she left the biggest impact in the series, basically instigating a myriad of other villains from the negaverse to invade earth and the rest of the universe?! Yeah yeah, I know the whole thing about Empress Metallia, Phantom Ace (aka Danburite/Adonis/Jashin), and especially Chaos being the root cause for the other villains to become the way that they are but don't forget that it was Queen Beryl who was the active catalyst pulling the trigger thus giving sailor moon and the rest of her brigade a hard time.
Oh my gosh!! You are too sweet! This seriously made my day. Thank you so much. I am so happy to bring some Sailor Moon joy to another SM fan :) 🌙 if you enjoyed this one, it’s a whole Sailor Moon Villain Series I’m doing, here’s Wicked Lady’s 🌙🖤 th-cam.com/video/Pqxs8b3RPKY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_T8qF_lZEi3IJSP1
From when I watched this show back from '95 to 2000, when I was 5 to 10 years old, either the show didn't mention her backstory, the translation team somehow edited the show's lines too much, or I was too young to catch or remember her backstory. Either way, I didn't know any of this until now! And I agree the mentioning of her backstory would've made her even MORE interesting, memorable, and relatable character than just a classic main evil villian. It makes more sense to why she became the evil lady she is. Tragic, though great!
Hey Sam! I totally agree, the old anime pretty much just cut her story to save time. But it's an awesome (though somewhat small) treat in the manga and Crystal! :)
She’s iconic in the way she’s a classic villain too. I love that about her. Especially to start the series. Something new, something “old”. Genius. I loveee the Dark Kingdom Arc. So mysterious.
Hey Daniel! I did and it’s really pretty cool in my opinion! I’d love for you to take a peak and let me know what you think! ❤️🌙 th-cam.com/video/Pqxs8b3RPKY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zCROVxUhFIvYRVwJ

Agree, such a “classic” villain type.
Perfectly said ❤ This truly defines Queen Beryl
Hi J! Thank you so much for checking it out. Hope you got some of your daily Sailor Moon fill :D She is literally an icon.
@@TheSilverCrystal I will ❤️
Beryl has always been my favorite. She is literally such an iconic villain and these truly are the reasons that make her so sickening. ❤👿👑
I mean Arc 1 came in and SET A STANDARD for a reason, right?! :)

She and her flunkies are all named after minerals.
You need to neeeeed to do wicked lady!!!!
Yeah, I'm thinking doing a few villains first would be fun :) I'll see what other people say, but if no one else leaves a vote, I definitely will >:D
I loooove that you include some of the manga panels!!! I love the manga. So much!
The manga is my absolute favorite version of Sailor Moon! :)

Thank you so much John!! :) That’s a great idea, I will add it to my topic list :) 🌙🌙

I just wanted to add more Sailor Moon talk online :( :/
My Queen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭...!!! I love her soo much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤...!!!
The OG 😈 👑
Quuen beryl has been a favorite villian, regardless of which version she appears.
She’s iconic in the way she’s a classic villain too. I love that about her. Especially to start the series. Something new, something “old”. Genius. I loveee the Dark Kingdom Arc. So mysterious.
Queen Beryl is like Rita Repusla
Yeah, if Rita Repulsa were fused with the wicked witch of the west via "The Wizard of Oz," then you get Queen Beryl as a result.
@@seijin4426 that actually makes sense
Sis your vids and commentaries slay! You’re my sister now, adopt me 😢😢😢
Hey M!!! :) You are so sweet! I appreciate that so much!
@@TheSilverCrystal hey sis! :)))) it’s merely the truth! Yaaaas, love it 🤭❤️
1. She's a hurricane
Lol. True
A category 6 at most.
You need to do Wicked lady
Hey Daniel! I did and it’s really pretty cool in my opinion! I’d love for you to take a peak and let me know what you think! ❤️🌙 th-cam.com/video/Pqxs8b3RPKY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zCROVxUhFIvYRVwJ
