DreamSword Watches Unfamiliar Toku: Part 8 - Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon

Act 46

Remember episode 31? The Lita episode wherein I had no idea what it was trying to say?

We finally get some elaboration on it here, wherein it's revealed that Lita actually took in the wrong lesson, and that really, deep down, she was seeing signs that she wasn't alone anymore, and thus gained empowerment from that.

This also qualifies as an episode for Mina, wherein a combination of her own words getting thrown back in her face, as well as seeing just how valued her and her work really is inspires her to try and keep living for as long as possible. Thus, she's the final Sailor to get a power-up.

While I think this might've worked best as two separate episodes, I did think the episode managed to divide the screen time between the two plots pretty well(while also sneaking in some time for other characters to boot), and it managed to make both girls self-actualizations come in different, equally valid ways, too.

What the climax of this one ends up meaning for Mina and Serena, given all that's been going on, I don't know. Are all five girls finally allowed to be close companions and friends now?
