Episodes

Episode 1: Arrival!! Sailor Sun is here!!

Chibi Usa arrives on Ceres and is introduced in school. During recess, a ghostlike monster attacks the colony. Chibi Usa transforms into Sailor Sun to fight it. From her dialogue with Diana, it’s clear that (a) she has been Sailor Sun for a little while already, it’s not a surprise to her, but also (b) she has never actually fought as Sailor Sun, so her powers are still pretty new to her. The ghost drops a crystal shard when it’s defeated. Chibi Usa finishes her first day at school, ending with bumping into a quiet girl with black hair. The girl doesn't bother to talk to Chibi Usa even as Chibi Usa tries to apologize--she just keeps on walking.

Episode 2: An elegant leader! Sailor Ceres is awakened.

School election season! Despite Diana’s half-joking encouragement, Chibi Usa does NOT run for any school government positions. The whole school is very enamoured with Kiku Hanae, who’s beautiful and elegant and is definitely going to win. During voting, Chibi Usa tries to make small talk with Nai, but her classmates tell her that she’s barking up the wrong tree. Nai doesn’t talk to anybody, ever. The next day, Hanae wins student body president! During her acceptance speech, a Ghost attacks. Chibi Usa transforms to fight it, and during the fight, Hanae tries to help by throwing literally anything she can at it. Diana realizes that Hanae is a Guardian, so she gives her a transformation pen. Hanae becomes Sailor Ceres and helps Chibi Usa fight the Ghost. Once defeated, the Ghost drops another crystal shard. Once everything’s cleaned up, Chibi Usa congratulates Hanae on her win.

Episode 3: The quirky artist! Sailor Pallas arrives!

There’s an art show happening on campus. Chibi Usa wants to make more friends at school, so she goes with Hanae. She catches Nai looking at the artwork and looking sad, so she tries to strike up conversation again, but Nai just walks away from her. A Ghost attacks the art show, and targets Aya. Chibi Usa and Hanae transform to protect her, and while Sailor Sun and Sailor Ceres struggle with the monster, Diana realizes that Aya is a Guardian. She gives Aya a transformation pen, Aya becomes Sailor Pallas, and helps the Guardians defeat the ghost. This ghost also drops a crystal shard, and Diana and Sailor Sun guess that maybe all the Ghosts have them.

Episode 4: Who will win?! The shocking video game competition!!

There’s a video game tournament in town and Diana of all people wants to take part!! She is a cat. She convinces Chibi Usa to attend in her place so she can at least backseat game. Chibi Usa, completely out of her element, convinces Hanae and Aya to join. Hanae isn’t very good but she likes how pretty some of the characters are. Aya is VERY good but won’t stop trolling her opponents. Chibi Usa and Aya make it to the finals, but in the middle of the game, a Ghost attacks!! They must abandon the game to find a safe place to transform. The guardians defeat the Ghost and collect its crystal shard, but Diana is disappointed they didn’t get a chance to win the tournament.

Episode 5: How relaxing!! A beach even on the asteroid?

Beach episode?? The colony opens up a simulated beach resort area and Chibi Usa has tickets!! She of course has to dodge the subject of how she got tickets, because she has not told Hanae or Aya that she’s the princess yet. The three of them go, get to wear bathing suits, drink tropical drinks, and Chibi Usa keeps having to keep employees from spilling that she’s the princess. Once they’re finally getting to relax, a Ghost attacks!! It gets distracted for a minute by cute pool floaties, giving the girls a chance to transform. They defeat the ghost and Chibi Usa has to once again shut up the employees who all want to cheer for the princess and her victory.

Episode 6: Home run!! Sailor Juno, the powerful senshi!

School sports festival! Chibi Usa and Hanae are absolutely killing it at gymnastics. Aya is killing it at track. The girls are having a lot of fun competing! Nai is there, and she is the least enthusiastic cheerleader anyone has ever seen. During the baseball game, a Ghost attacks!! Before the girls get a chance to confront it, Akane comes at it with a baseball bat. This gives the girls a chance to transform. Diana realizes that Akane is a Guardian, and gives Akane a transformation pen. Akane becomes Sailor Juno, and together, they all defeat the Ghost and collect its shard. Afterward, the game resumes and Akane’s team wins!!

Episode 7: A delinquent?! The righteous Sailor Vesta!!

A rumor is going around about a delinquent starting fights for no reason. Chibi Usa is worried! This colony is supposed to be a nice place, and if someone is acting up like this, they must be in trouble. She asks around, and starts to learn that this delinquent might actually be fighting to defend victims of bullying. Chibi Usa finds them and it’s Kaoru! She finds Kaoru getting hassled by some of the bullies she’s fought with in the past. Chibi Usa figures they probably have problems too, but in the moment, they need to back off. Chibi Usa, her friends, and Kaoru all chase off the bullies, but then a Ghost attacks, going after Kaoru! The girls try to get Kaoru to run so they can transform, but Diana gets that feeling again. She gives Kaoru a transformation pen, Kaoru transforms, and the girls defeat the Ghost and collect its shard. Afterward, Hanae makes note that she’ll have the student council follow up with all those bullies.

Episode 8: My mom is the queen!! Chibi Usa's frustrating assignment!

The girls' class has them doing those reports where they have to interview their parents about their jobs and whatever. This is highly problematic for Chibi Usa, who is of course hiding the fact that she's the moon princess. After awkwardly dodging questions about her parents from her teammates, she tries to divert attention to... Nai! Nai just says she doesn't have parents, which makes the conversation too awkward to continue. At home, Chibi Usa goes on a holo-video call with her parents and tries to work out what to write. Usagi is still Usagi, which makes everything difficult. By the end of the call, it's late at night and Chibi Usa is dreading her presentation tomorrow. The next day, the students present their interviews. When it's Chibi Usa's turn, a Ghost attacks the school! What a relief. In the panic, the girls are able to sneak out and transform. They defeat the Ghost and collect its shard, and manage to waste enough class time that the teacher has to push the remaining presentations to tomorrow. Chibi Usa is relieved, and resolves to just lie on her project instead. Much easier.

Episode 9: Fun with classroom technology! VR madness!!

The girls' physics class puts them into a VR simulation to run some experiments with moving objects. Chibi Usa gets grouped with Aya and Nai, and Hanae is paired with Akane and Kaoru. The story switches between the two groups as Hanae's group goes through the experiments normally, with Akane especially having fun knocking things around. Chibi Usa's group, however, is absolute chaos, as Aya keeps pulling the perameters to extremes just to see what will happen. In the chaos, a Ghost attacks--in VR!! It gets beaned several times by the simulated objects that Aya has sent flying. Finally, for the first time in the series, we see someone get a reaction out of Nai, who gets frustrated with the chaos and shuts down the simulation. Realizing the Ghost is actually real, Nai runs for it, giving Chibi Usa and Aya a chance to defeat the ghost and collect its shard. They go and find Nai hiding in a bathroom, and they tell her the ghost is gone, and Aya apologizes for treating the assignment like a game. They go back to the lab and finish their assignment the right way. Chibi Usa is glad to have finally had a real interaction with Nai.

Episode 10: A mystery in the Asteroid Belt! The secret of the crystal shards

Chibi Usa and her team get a call from Ami to visit the excavation site. On the train ride there, Chibi Usa decides that now's the time to finally tell her team that she's not really Asahi Hina, she's Tsukino Usagi, the princess. They're shocked to varying degrees. Kaoru asks if she's the Moon princess, how come she's Sailor Sun now? Chibiusa starts explaining, leading into a flashback scene.

She's meeting with Helios in Elysion. She shows Helios her Pink Moon Crystal-- but it's got a golden sparkle deep within it now. He tells her that it's not a Moon crystal at all--it's the Pink Sun Crystal. She's confused, and he tells her that here in the land of dreams, he sometimes comes across snippets of dreams from long, long ago. Once, there was a Sailor Sun. She was powerful and well loved, but something happened to her. He tells her what an honor it is to be the successor to this ancient power, and promises to keep searching through the ancient dreams to see if he can find more info from her.

Outside Elysion, she finds Hotaru waiting for her. Chibi Usa confides in her that she's terrified that her parents won't be proud of her. Her mom wanted so badly for her to become the new Sailor Moon. Hotaru assures her that not only are her parents proud of her, but Hotaru is, too. She's excited to see the Sailor Guardian that Chibi Usa is becoming.

The train arrives at the excavation site. Ami meets them, and the quartet are excited to meet such a celebrity. Ami isn't part of the archaeological team (she's a medical doctor), but she's been here helping out for a while because the excavation has been getting attacked by Ghosts. The other Inners have been nearby too, patrolling around the Asteroid Belt, and she thanks Chibi Usa and the quartet for keeping Occator safe, since they're stretched so thin over such a large area.

Ami shows the team some of the artifacts being excavated, and explains that it looks like the Asteroid Belt--and most of Jupiter's Trojan asteroids--used to be a planet that strayed too close to Jupiter and broke up. Before it broke up, it had colonies on it that belonged to some ancient, mysterious Solar Empire. It was ruled by a Sailor Sun, but she didn't live here--this planet was a colony, not the capital.

Ami asks if Chibi Usa has collected any crystal shards from the Ghosts she's faced. Chibi Usa produces her shards, and Ami produces some of her own. Ami explains that these crystal shards look to be the remains of an ancient Sailor Crystal. She asks to see the quartet's Sailor Crystals. She looks at them, and says that she has a hypothesis that the quartet's sailor crystals used to be crystal shards just like these ones, but that they grew and became their own crystals in their own right. All the rest of these shards had that potential, but never grew, but all of them--the shards and the quartet's crystals--are the remains of some ancient Sailor Guardian's sailor crystal. Hanae asks if that's why the Ghosts attacked them--they wanted their crystals. Ami says it's possible that the Ghosts want to assemble the rest of the shards all together. She doesn't know what will happen if the shards are reunited, or who the sailor crystal belonged to.

A ghost attacks!! With Ami's help, they dispatch it in no time and collect its shard. Before the ghost disappears, nearby screens flash some images, including the face of a sailor senshi. It's too fast to make out details though, and Chibi Usa is frustrated because the senshi looked familiar but she needs to look more closely. Ami entrusts her crystal shards to Chibi Usa, and they resolve to try and reunite all the pieces and hope that it sheds light on this mystery.
