Sailor Moon Episode Changes -- First Season

 

Episode 1:

Additions: announcer explaining things we're not supposed to learn for dozens of episodes Cuts: Usagi's waking-up scene at the beginning Scene with Usagi standing in the hall after she's late for school Scene with Usagi and Shingo outside; Usagi kicking "Sailor V Kick!" and hurting herself on the door Changes: Originally Usagi says that Mamoru is weird, not that he's cute. Contrary to what you saw, this episode is the first time Usagi has heard of Sailor V Usagi's mother sends her out of the house, but doesn't tell her to go to the library

(Episode 2):

Cuts: Reason: Completely deleted obvious Synopsis: monster of the episode is a fortune teller who tells Umino (who wants to date Usagi but is too shy to ask) and his classmates "you are a servant to a great demon, you can do whatever you want". The Tarot card the fortune teller has depicts the Devil. Umino comes to school in a suit and tie, looks up the teacher's skirt, breaks a school window, and bluntly asks to kiss Usagi. Also features first appearance of the Sailor V video game, Usagi tossing her shoe in the air instead of a coin and having it land on Mamoru's head, and Usagi forgetting her magic words

Episode 2 (3):

Cuts scene with Haruna jumping up and down when she heard her letter read was [shortened] (possibly) Usagi finds out Jadeite's name Changes Scene where Usagi's parents mention their wedding anniversary originally had them talking about the sleeping sickness "The Love Line" was originally named "Midnight Zero" Originally, Jadeite uses the name "J. Daite" not "Jed" as the host When the teacher chases Usagi and Naru because she thinks Usagi's love letter is homework, she originally knew it was a love letter and wanted to read it

Episode 3 (4):

Cuts: When Usagi leans over while sitting on the bench and throws up Changes: The first scene with Jadeite and Queen Beryl was moved (originally attached to the later scene) waterline in the tub was moved up a few inches to avoid showing Usagi's cleavage and re-coloured Usagi's dream scene didn't have Motoki offering her food, but talking about the energy of love A joke with Luna telling Usagi to fight the bad guys because she might lose some weight doing it was changed to reminding her about Haruna In the final scene, the bathroom scale wasn't boobytrapped The doughnuts were originally nikuman

(Episode 5):

Cuts: Reason: Completely deleted unnecessary Shingo kicks Luna in one scene Synopsis: Usagi's brother (Shingo) is shown to dislike Luna. Shingo hates cats because he was bit on the nose by one as a baby. Umino thought he was attacked by an alligator as a baby, but it turned out to be an alligator purse monster of the episode controls a pet shop, "Perphume," selling creatures called "chanellas" which hypnotize their owners with their scent Shingo gets one and he and Usagi fight over who gets to keep their pet, their mom says that both the chanella and Luna can stay while he has the chanella, there is a scene where Shingo kicks Luna out of his way and Usagi later cries because Luna was hurt. Usagi stops crying when Luna convinces her that she's okay. Sailor Moon defeats the enemy and things go back to normal, all the chanellas disappear Later, Shingo is feeding Luna breakfast features a one-time-only technique (Moon Tiara Stardust), an absence of Tuxedo Mask (Luna tells Sailor Moon not to depend on other people), and Usagi hiding from her brother to protect her identity (idea seems to have been dropped in later episodes). Sailor Moon convinces Shingo to be nicer to his older sister

(Episode 6):

Cuts Reason Completely deleted Usagi goes into a bar Synopsis involves a music writer and player named Amade Yuusuke who writes one of his professional songs for Akiko, a woman he's interested in Jadeite's monster tries to replace the tape with one containing subliminal music Usagi changes into an adult "cool musician" and follows Yuusuke into a bar, wearing Luna on her shoulder as an accessory Usagi tries to order cream soda at a bar Usagi travels with Yuusuke in his car. He scares her because he drives too fast. It would also be hard to change the Japanese names -- they're written down Yuusuke and Akiko become a couple

Episode 4 (7):

Additions: The knock-knock joke comment wasn't there scene with Queen Beryl looking in her crystal ball didn't appear in the original Umino did not talk about the Internet Cuts: scene with Umino getting hit by Usagi's streamer (but left in the "Sailor Says" segment) Changes: The star's name was originally Mikan Usagi and Naru trying to sing the opening song from the show did use the opening theme in the original, but the original theme doesn't refer to Sailor Moon. Usagi did not say that she wasn't scared immediately before running away Although Usagi did shout for Luna, she didn't address the question to the nonexistent audience The contest was called "Cinderella Caravan"

Episode 5 (8):

Cuts A clip of Usagi imagining her mother being angry at her Changes The gossip over Ami's introduction had no reference to being rejected from "Brainiac Academy" The scene with the Sailor V video game was edited. The screen was originally blue, not pink, and showed " GAME OVER " in a different font, on a slightly different background (and written in English) When Ami left, it wasn't game over; her game was still going on Luna's password was "the rabbit on the moon pounds the mochi" A scene edited to remove Japanese writing caused the loss of a joke When Mamoru asked if Usagi was talking to her cat, she said that was silly because cats can't talk The "computer course" was juku (cram school) and was not only twice a week, but every day. (someone managed to sneak in a reference to "cram school" anyway.) Mamoru did not say that Usagi was a strange girl The monster did not leave Ami in charge and its speech was supposed to be an introduction The monster did ask questions, but it asked why Newton's apple fell, not a math problem. Its first attack disappeared when Luna answered the question (with no explanation given in the dub). The second question was to explain gravity in 50 words or less, not "you have 2 choices" Luna said nothing in the final scene. Consistencies: subplot about thinking Ami was working for the "Negaverse" (Dark Kingdom) did exist in the original

Episode 6 (9):

Cuts A scene where a passenger tries to strangle the bus driver (partially cut) The scene where the enemy hits Sailor Moon with her spear and draws a bit of blood and when Sailor Moon was trying to dodge the spear Changes The watches with the price tag of 4000 were 4000 yen, and were "inexpensive," not "expensive." The bill with the 10 on it was really a 1000 yen bill The bus scenes were reversed, to put the driver on the opposite side The Robocop joke in Sailor Mercury's computer was kept, but the original said "Suspect: Mash" (not J. Smith) and had "innocent" misspelled. (There's still a few frames with the misspelling.)

Episode 7 (10):

Cuts: Lots of stuff The scene where Rei consults the flame (partially cut) Changes: In the original, Usagi wonders if Rei is the princess. The scenes of the bus are partly reversed so the driver is on the left side like in North America, but not consistently.

Episode 8 (11):

Cuts: A bit of the scene after Tuxedo Mask appears When Mars puts the paper on the enemy (to remove a panty shot) Changes: A shot of the shrine gates and pillar with the name written in Japanese was replaced Ami did not suggest going to Dreamland for fun, but to investigate the disappearances

Episode 9 (12):

Cuts: A brief cut of the ship at the start is missing flyer advertising the cruise (probably for Japanese content) Changes: Usagi got tissues, not soap, when she was trying to win the tickets The dialogue when Rei and Ami were talking -- originally, Rei said that there were bound to be couples that get into fights, so they could steal their guys. In this version, Rei wanted her pictures taken with the crew. Ami said they couldn't transform when surrounded by monsters because it would reveal their identity. It was changed to "sticking together so they have more of a chance." Sailor Moon says that it's wrong for the monsters to go after two pitiful girls without boyfriends (which is why Rei is grimacing)

Episode 10 (13):

Cuts Surprisingly, not much -- the first really accurate one Dialogue about not being able to fool girls, which was once reported in US media as meaning the Sailors are fighting sexism Two constellations in the first scene, probably for time. When Usagi imagines Motoki being Tuxedo Mask, DIC cut the "I love you!" Consistencies The script was reasonably close to the original (for a dub) Paying for the damaged airplanes joke The men made of mud scene (not a Gatchaman-style rewriting of the original) Use of "in the name of the moon, I will punish you"

Episode 11 (14):

Cuts: Mostly unchanged a scene where the first boy hit by the tennis ball introduces himself (bowing Japanese style) Changes: Nephrite was not "president of his own company" Luna's password was still the same as before (not new) When Ami said she couldn't play tennis because "they have to make plans to fight the Negaverse," she really said she had to go to cram school Speech included "punish you" but timed a little oddly in the dub (originally at the end, not the middle) Naru calling the tennis player her sister was in the original, but it's the translation of a cultural nuance that doesn't work very well in English -- i.e. Using the title "big brother"or "big sister" for an unrelated older person one looked up to as a child is common in Japanese culture. "Maxfield Stanton" was used in Seinfeld, and it's hard to tell which came first until someone digs up the date of the Seinfeld episode

Episode 12 (15):

Changes: [thanks to Mr. K] There was no reference to a karate class Rei and Motoki were talking about Mamoru living by himself in an apartment and going to the same college as Motoki Rei thought her "dream" about Mamoru was possible, not that she'd die if it happened Mamoru wasn't meeting anybody later The end dialogue is almost completely different -- Rei thinks that Mamoru is Tuxedo Kamen, but Usagi says he can't be. Mamoru asks who Tuxedo Kamen is, but they won't say. As the camera panned up, everyone didn't say "Sounds like a date to me!", although Mamoru did.

Episode 13 (16):

Cuts: Some scenes at the start A scene showing the sign for the wedding dress contest in Japanese A shot of Rei hitting her grandfather with a broom Changes: The sign reading " DRESSMAKAR " was spelled properly in the dub The building is the Juuban district meeting hall, not a wedding chapel The prize was not a trip to Hawaii; the prizes were a video deck, CD player, and "small gift" (Information from Mr. K): The girls weren't mad at Umino, they were surprised that the teacher was getting engaged. Ms. Lambert was named Akiyama Higure Ms. Lambert didn't say anything about buying cheap fabric. She said she hadn't found the silk she liked The pie Usagi's mom "made" was storebought Ms. Lambert wasn't quite as mean to her fiancé as the dub made it seem. She really told him not to come back until she finished the dress or the wedding was off She just wanted to win the contest, not draw energy from everyone and make them "negaverse" slaves Usagi called Luna a pervert (ecchi?) for looking up her dress Goofs: Serena (Usagi) calls Tuxedo Mask "Darien" in a daydream by mistake

Episode 14 (17):

Cuts: Another bento box scene A scene with Ami doing math homework while eating lunch Changes: The scene of Ami on the communicator was extended by adding video noise and repeating the end The scene with Shingo and the picture was edited, pausing before the original end and superimposing a circle and a slash to create the same effect as in the original, but with no kanji Usagi, in the original, was practicing proper speech while walking The final scene did not, in the original, have any references to a princess, just a wonderful girl--it should be obvious that it can't have had any, because Sailor Moon didn't say anything about coming from the moon or being a princess.

Episode 15 (18):

Cuts: In the fight scene; the doll monster had strangled Serena with its detachable hands Mars was unable to get it to let go (you can see a second or so of her fire here, which was cut) Tuxedo Mask's attack finally freed Sailor Moon, who was starting to turn blue from being choked Changes: The " DOLL EXHIBITION " sign was redrawn, because it was Japanese in the original The doll attacked without a lightning special effect The last scene did not take place at the junior high (Shingo doesn't go to school there) Goofs: Referring to "Sailor Venus" was an error. We're not supposed to know yet that she is really Sailor V Consistencies: Script otherwise seems to follow the original Mika's Japanese name was kept

Episode 16 (19):

Changes: Back to rewritten scripts The letters all said Tuxedo Mask, and were not unsigned Haruna was upset over not getting a love letter, not over having to chaperone the kids Sailor Moon did not turn around and say she should really be helping; she said "Look out, Tuxedo Mask!" The elevator dialog was different, and Sailor Moon once asked if Tuxedo Mask was Motoki At the end of the episode, Nephrite said nothing about a memory wipe In the dub, Sailor Moon blows Mars' secret identity in front of Tuxedo Mask (apparently, in the original, Mars blew Mercury's identity)

(Episode 20):

Cuts: Reason: Completely deleted unnecessary not essential to main plot, time Synopsis: The Senshi stay overnight at a haunted house Starts out with fake monsters (disguised servants) Later they find a man staying at the house wants to unlock his daughter Sakiko's hidden supernatural powers, by getting her to release a (real) spirit, then making her destroy it A swimsuit episode One of the few episodes where the monster of the episode has nothing at all to do with the main plot

Episode 17 (21):

Cuts: A joke where Usagi wished they'd make an anime of her A joke where Usagi is eager to go to the studio, Rei says anime is for kids, and then Rei shows up with the autograph boards anyway Changes: The Sailor V scene on TV was changed to avoid showing Japanese writing Ami had to go to juku, not do her homework There was no "animation school" Nephrite didn't tell Mercury the Sailors are pathetic; rather, he bragged about hiding a monster Usagi wanted animation cells (not to meet Sailor V), and Rei wanted the animators autographs, not Sailor V's Luna didn't say Ami shouldn't have challenged Nephrite on her own Rei was not accused of cutting class, and Haruna wasn't mentioned The Senshi made a speech, they didn't introduce themselves multiple times.

Episode 18 (22):

Cuts: A scene which had Usagi dropping from the roof with Tuxedo Mask, Luna throwing her umbrella down to her, and her floating down with the open umbrella. Probably due to fear that kids would try it (yet they didn't worry about kids jumping off roofs when they left in the scene with the Sailors jumping after the princess). A clip of the umbrella scene is in a later dub episode, however (# 40). Usagi got drunk Changes: Usagi originally claimed to be the Princess of the Ivanovich Kingdom. This matters because of the irony of Usagi being disguised as a princess. The original had no reference to the princess's stand-in The final scene was rewritten. In the original, Tuxedo Mask really kissed Usagi (and said it brought back memories). It was not a dream, and nobody said anything about princesses. Consistencies: Usagi's father did say she looked like his daughter

Episode 19 (23):

Consistencies: Accurate (except for the usual name changes) Includes "in the name of the moon, I will punish you!" Zoisite was even refferred to as "that person" without mentioning gender

Episode 20 (24):

Cuts: Nephrite's first scene (probably for time) Scene where Nephrite sees through Naru's body (probably because she's nude) Deleted a remark where Usagi says she can't run fast because she's not a cat Deleted a comment where Nephrite says he doesn't care for Naru (right before he burns the note) Changes: The phone scene was changed to put Usagi and Naru on the same split screen "Sunday" became "holiday" Zoicite originally says that Nephrite should be happy to die with the one he loves, not "... you lose your girlfriend too!" Zoicite was referred to as "Madame Zoicite" Consistencies: Accurate. Minor changes compared to other episodes. "In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!" appeared

Episode 21 (25):

Additions: reference to giving the toys to the poor suggestion that Zoicite was a jealous girlfriend Changes: A joke where Usagi introduces Rei as "the mean Rei" was changed to arguing for a different reason Mako suggested that using power to get the toys is cheating; not Joe The video game was edited again Those were rice balls, not muffins Consistencies: Joe was named Joe in the original

Episode 22 (26):

Additions: Umino referring to the Internet, and talking about inchworms and bugs Usagi asking what a rainbow crystal is Changes: The original actually called the priest a priest Umino's remark that made Usagi slap him was asking to go eat chocolate parfait, not saying that "Maxfield Stanton" was missing The piggybank scene actually happened and wasn't just Luna's guess Everyone went out to eat, not to see the Sailor V movie

Episode 23 (27):

Changes: Very much like the original In the last scene Ami said nothing about having her mouth open like Usagi Greg was originally named Urawa

Episode 24 (28):

Additions: Umino offered to list the chemical elements in paint Changes: Not like the original Usagi originally got a strange feeling from the painting, but didn't compare her hair to it, and it probably didn't say it was about a moon princess Lonnie (Yumemi Yumeno) kept her identity a secret so people would think she's pretty, not because her paintings wouldn't sell (which is totally inconsistent with the rest of the episode). The walking scene in the street had Lonnie say Usagi might want to walk with Mamoru. When Usagi met Luna, she said she dropped the stick when she was thinking about Tuxedo Mask; the entire scene's dialogue is different. Lonnie said Zoisite was pretty, not an art thief. Usagi didn't say "it's me...I'm Sailor Moon" Usagi says that Tuxedo Mask is cold like Darien, and then is shocked that she'd think they're similar, replacing the original dialogue: "Tuxedo Mask... <Shocked Expression> Oh, no, the battle's not over yet!" Sailor Jupiter's attack got a third name

Episode 25 (29):

Cuts: A scene where Usagi daydreams kissing Motoki and instead nearly kisses Mako. When Luna tells them to relax because it's just cooking, that's what she's really making that face for. Changes: What didn't they change? Motoki in Mako's daydream didn't offer free tokens Mako originally said she was going to come clean house and cook, and when she came, she did not ask him to do the dishes The Motoki/ Mamoru dialogue was massively different; there was no reference to karate In the original, when Usagi and Mako were talking, Usagi briefly thought Motoki loved Mako The Sailor V video game was changed again The reference to potatoes was carrots (Mako was even holding a carrot) The phone call was not about being heartbroken, but Rita deciding to go to Africa The final scene was reversed in meaning; Mako and Usagi were going to go after Motoki Rita was originally named Reika. Calling her Rita, when you already have a character named Lita in love with the same guy, is a testament to bad dubbing ("R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese)

Episode 26 (30):

Changes: Chad was originally named Yuuichirou and he wasn't a singer The dialogue wasn't even close in other ways The chocolate cakes were daifuku Yuuichirou is not homeless, however; see dub episode #34

Episode 27 (31):

Changes: Hercules' original name was Rhedd Butler, a pun The girl was named Ohara Consistencies: used "in the name of the moon, I'll punish you", implying an otherwise good translation

Episode 28 (32):

Additions: Reference to: studying for math tests, the Internet Changes: The password was originally the same as before, with the same pun (but the new dub password is closer) Luna's speech over the computer didn't say anything about crystals The meeting of Senshi was mostly about the princess of the moon and the kingdom of the moon The shrimp was not "coconut fried" The "Wacky World Wrestlers" was really Redman. Andrew didn't want to go because it was too childish, not because he was expecting a phone call from Reika. (Note: Toei, which produced the Sailor Moon animation, is also responsible for the Sentai series, from which the Power Rangers were derived, and many Sentai series are named _____man, so it's not a coincidence that Redman looks like a Power Ranger.) They changed the lines where Zoisite mentions he's changing the crystal to work on ordinary humans, which matters for the plot, because it normally can't. Umino was not outside Naru's door all night Usagi's first attack was "moon tiara action...just a little bit." The latter phrase was removed, replaced with a reference to Redman (probably a nod to the original)

Episode 29 (33):

Changes: Hard to change because it was mostly action, but they tried When Usagi said she wanted to find out who the fake Sailor Moon was, she really said she couldn't stand to see Sailor Moon suffer Kunzite's speech viewing the city, about waiting for Tuxedo Mask, actually had him saying that he wants to see the darkness instead of the light of the city In the final scene, Sailor Venus didn't say anything when asked if she was the princess Goofs: Sailor Venus, until well into her appearance, is referred to as Sailor V. As Sailor V, she wears the mask that she threw away in this episode, and Sailor Moon was so excited about her being there because Usagi is a big Sailor V fan, not just because they've finally found the fifth member of the team. The dub doesn't use the name Sailor V at all except in the episode title.

Episode 30 (34):

Additions: Minako's line about not being able to recognize the Senshi in their normal identities Mamoru promised not to call Usagi "meatball head" A bunch of extra dialog when Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask reveal their identities A voiceover ("Me, Serena, the princess...") when Sailor Moon becomes the princess Cuts: The scene where Tuxedo Mask gets attacked from behind (partially cut) Changes: Unfortunately, this critical episode wasn't done by the good writer In the first scene, Sailor Venus was originally asked if she was the princess The Kunzite/ Zoisite scene had them asking Queen Beryl why they had to retreat, not talking about the crystals. The scenes with Usagi and Mamoru in the street had a different dialog, with no reference to bees, karate classes, or first aid DIC dialogue made it sound like the crystal attack was originally aimed at Tuxedo Mask instead of Sailor Moon Goofs: Not saying "Sailor V" -- Sailor Moon thought it was really cool to meet her because she was Sailor V (the ecstatic reaction is also in the R movie)

Episode 31 (35):

Additions: Voiceover at the start Un-named attack called "Cosmic Moon Power" Voiceover in the flashbacks Reference to getting burgers Cuts: When Mars slaps Sailor Moon Brief flashback to Tuxedo Mask falling, in silhouette, with a crystal in his back In the original, Usagi, when she said she wanted to be normal, added that she didn't want anyone else to be hurt like Mamoru. Changes: Usagi wasn't suddenly talking without contractions once she realized she was the moon princess The Zoicite/ Kunzite dialogue had Zoicite telling him that Usagi is the princess, not commenting about the crystal. When Zoicite said not to forget him/her, Zoicite really said he wanted to die pretty. Usagi's asking about whether the Senshi abandoned Tuxedo Mask was really asking if he died In the flashback, the Earth was taken over Usagi didn't say that everyone hated her Goofs: The slap was left in the preview The other four girls weren't said to be princesses on their home planets. There is some evidence of this in the Sailor V manga and the Sailor Moon manga, but it isn't in the anime and certainly not this episode.

Episode 32 (36):

Additions: reference to repairing toasters at the start Usagi talking about bad hair days references to burgers and fries, and programming VCR s Cuts: Tuxedo Mask said he didn't like fighting girls Changes: Not as much as most "bad" writer episodes Tuxedo Mask didn't ask why he wasn't sent as the Prince instead of Tuxedo Mask At the end, Usagi said she'd change Tuxedo Mask back with her love

Episode 33 (37):

Cuts: Scene of Usagi being late for school (probably for time) Changes: The "good" writer. Most things were the same The cocoa was really coffee Artemis did not say that what makes someone a princess is in the heart (a bit of thought should convince you this isn't true) Rather half-hearted attempt at "... punish you".

Episode 34 (38):

Additions: Reference to Yuuichirou singing The "hunk" instructor Cuts: A scene of Rei imagining herself winning the contest Changes: Usagi did not say "hey, I'm Sailor Moon", though she did say the monster was wrong about Rei In the ending scene, Rei said that the Senshi saved them, not Yuuichirou Consistencies: The contest was called the moon princess contest That house did belong to Yuuichirou's parents

Episode 35 (39):

Cuts: Nothing significant. "In the name of the moon, I'll punish you" did not appear, but neither did the dub speech.

Episode 36 (40):

Additions: Joke about Usagi coming from another planet Reference to water sprites. If you listen carefully, you'll realize that the dub legend was awfully confused about which of the women in the legend was the water sprite. Cuts: Heavily altered A scene at the start with Luna awakening to find that Usagi left a note and a bowl of cat food Changes: Usagi didn't say the hot springs are for whackos. The original didn't try to explain the hot springs, which are less unusual in Japan than in North America. In the original, Shingo stole Usagi's lines when the Senshi appeared. The ending was changed. Usagi really asked why the others came, and they replied that Luna told them she was there. Consistencies: "Punish you" was used Goofs: "Darien" saying he didn't remember the name "Darien" was absurd in the dub, because he was constantly called Prince Darien. In the original, he said he didn't remember the name Mamoru, and he was called Prince Endymion, so it made sense.

Episode 37 (41):

Cuts: A scene where Uruwa said he planned to ask Ami for help, but he shouldn't keep relying on her Changes: Some dialogue was changed when the girls were in Rei's room. Originally, Minako said "I don't understand very well, but do Urawa's predictions come true often?", and Ami replied "yes." Luna and Artemis said that the future of the Senshi looked very dark; they didn't wish the girls had that much enthusiasm against the Negaverse. They changed Uruwa's dialogue when he shouted "A murderer! Help!" Originally, when Mamoru was ready to punch Jupiter, she screamed, and he said "As I thought, it's no contest with you alone!" But in the dub, she didn't scream, and he said something different that implied she was brave. When Ami had tears in her eyes asking Mamoru why they wanted the Rainbow Crystal carriers, she actually said she'd never forgive him. Luna didn't say "It's working!" during the  " MOON HEALING ACTIVATION! ", she told Sailor Moon to raise the energy level. In the dub, at the end, Usagi was angry at Ami for taking so long on the Ferris Wheel. In the original, she was worried that Ami would forget about their mission and then they wouldn't have a leader. Consistencies: Uruwa referred back to Ami's plea for him to make his own future when Mamoru confronted him

(Episode 42):

Cuts: Reason: Completely deleted unnecessary nothing objectionable unnecessary for the main plot (probably cut for time) Synopsis: Sailor Venus met a woman (Katarina) who was a friend when she was Sailor V They had finally separated when Sailor V appeared to die in an explosion. Sailor V had really survived, but let her think she died because Katarina had fallen in love with a man named Alan who Sailor V also liked. Katarina becomes the monster of the episode Mostly a flashback episode

Episode 38 (43):

Additions: Reference to getting ice cream and not inviting Rei and Usagi Cuts: A scene where Mars kicks Sailor Moon The news reporter's business card (all Japanese) was removed Cut another kick, though the dialogue still referred to it Changes: The monster didn't say the jewels are "perfect for my little black dress" The line "they're fighting for real" was changed to "anyone got a bottle of aspirin?" Note: the synopsis is wrong about the time being 10:00. The speech where Usagi says she doesn't care about Mars was changed The explanation for Mars having the wand was completely different . She was given the wand by Usagi, and pointed out to the other Senshi that if they really hated each other, Usagi would never have trusted her with it. Usagi certainly did not leave it in her room by mistake, and they were not arguing over this at the end. This means that Rei doesn't hate Usagi, exactly the opposite from what this dub implied. The joke used at the end of the episode had Mars saying that Sailor Moon cried, and when she asked when, she replied "11:16:28"

Episode 39 (44):

Cuts: a scene from the start (probably for time) Changes: Usagi doesn't talk without contractions as a princess. Not much was like the original, though the overall plot was the same. Goofs: Reference to Central Control. Central Control's voice was shown to be Artemis before, and doesn't really exist.

Episode 40 (45-46):

Cuts: The two episodes were hacked and slashed to shreds to make the compilation -- read some good synopses (try Hitoshi Doi's or Eternal-Moon.org ) Changes: The hospital scene is wrong Usagi really tossed a test paper at Mamoru just like when they first met
