And it's an idea that's always been incredibly depressing to me, as someone who takes his friendships rather seriously. So color me surprised when the live-action Sailor Moon here has the guts to instead end with the lesson of: "Life goes on, we all change, and friends might not always be within arm's' reach. But if your bond is true, then all it takes is a little effort to be there for eachother when it counts."

And that, right there, is a lesson that I feel people in general should learn, much less the kids watching a show like this.

This idea is further emphasized by Naru's presence in the show until the very end. In the anime versions, she's often largely forgotten, as Usagi's everyday life fades into the background, if not into the background. But here, Naru is among the wedding guests, suggesting her friendship with Usagi remains strong.
