| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, he actually died for Naru's/Molly's sake. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| it was so sad! This is one reason why i love Sailor Moon! |
| After 23 episodes of comedy the drama part finally started. |
 |
| Wow, that was actually quite touching. I mean, yeah, we've all heard it a million times before, the wicked man finds redemption through love at the price of his life, but when it's told so well like this, it makes you realize that it became generic for a pretty darn good reason. Three cheers to this well-constructed story ark! |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| I can't believe I forgot about this episode. As soon as I started watching it, I remembered :c. Such a sad episode, almost made me cry. I wish he would have killed that one plant monster when he had the chance :c |
| FUCK YEAH, he died! |

| Wow, talk about a surprisingly well done two episodes out of nowhere. Good stuff. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Great drama at the end there. But really, he shouldn't have stripped her while she was sleeping. Naru is such a moron! Doesn't mind being lied to?? Gahhh. I'm glad he's gone. He had to go anyway- he knew that Sailor Moon was Usagi. |

| hands down the best episode of the series so far - superbly written, perfectly executed + tremendously moving. naru seemed like a real character for once + the changes in nephrite's outlook reached a real (yet tragic) climax. on a minor note, those youma were always my favourite youma so that's a big plus as well. |
| What a pleasant surprise. Nephirite was handled pretty good in the show, while he was just a cardboard villain in the manga. Wonder why he didn't warn Usagi about something, or give her some hints. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| so sad |
| Wow, an actual death in a kids show with blood and everything. Even if it was green. Been a long time since I saw that happening. |
| Yeah, that was easily the best episode so far. It was pretty sad, I was tearing up ;; What a tragic first love. |
 |
| Best episode so far! Them feels. |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| This was surprisingly affecting considering they only gave a couple of episodes for Nephrite's development and turn from evil--some real feels there at the end! Speaking of tragic love in older anime, the chocolate parfait in this episode reminded me strongly of pineapple salad from Macross. Back then there was a real gap between what was allowed in anime vs. the "localized" versions that were shown in NA. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Best episode so far, I actually liked Nephrite after this and the last episode. I started to tear up too. no chocolate parfait ;_; |
| on my way to steal yo girl  |
| Just finished watching this episode (and 23 before it) on Viz's site… God, that ending was sad. I actually started tearing up, and I usually do not get emotional over shows/movies. And Nephrite was my favorite enemy so far… |
| #Ican't #ijustcan't How I survived this emotional rollercoaster when I was 8 is beyondddd me. |
 |
| I... I didn't think they'd actually kill him off.. Old anime is brutal. That was extremely depressing. When I was younger I watched sailor moon, but just when it was on TV so I don't think I've ever completed it.. Didn't expect this at all. Making a likable enemy isn't always easy, but damn they pulled it off well. They'll probably omit this from the new sailor moon since it's so short.. :'-(. |
  |
| This episode hurt. ;_______; |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." ⛩️  |
| Revisiting this anime and I totally forgot about this mini arc. I started bawling once I realised the inevitable death of Nephrite would soon come. Sailor Moon still doesn't disappoint after all these years ;_; |
 |
| The whole arc with Nephrite and Naru was really good, here's hoping the rest of the series keeps up the quality. |

On the other hand, chocolate parfait of Lucky Star is infamous for different reason, but I doubt it's a reference to this one. While the plot here is nothing new, it looks classic in SM, rather than cliche. |
Hell is empty and all the devils are here. |
| ;____; Nephrite x Naru 4evah <3 |
 |
| Nephrite ;v; Those episodes of Nephrite x Molly are very good. Right now the anime is at 1 episode left before Sailor Jupiter and is clearly superior to Sailor Moon Crystal. |
Oh my God I was crying like an idiot after this ep really.  NO NO NO IT CAN'T BE. PLEASE COME BACK TO LIFE YOU BOTH ARE PERFECT TOGETHER PLEASE. Nephrite x Naru is life... or was... |

 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| Poor Nephrite and Naru :( probably would've been a lot better if the episode title didn't spoil it. It's surprising how good this anime is when you skip the filler. This episode in particular was one of the moments where it was better than the manga. |
| Eh. I appreciate the effort in giving Nephrite some depth before he's killed but it seems contrived to me that he dies right after learning about Sailor Moon's identity, just like Jadeite. We also never learned what his real agenda was. I couldn't really get into the drama. I also found it a bit hard to believe that literally all three of the Sailor Scouts would weep over his demise. I get why it's tragic that Nephrite died protecting Naru, but I don't get the people mourning the relationship between them. She's a middle school student, for god's sake. |

| i was up until now asking myself why rui from the tennis episode was taking so long to come back and become sailor jupiter. turns out she isn't sailor jupiter after all. i guess it's my bad. JHLUDFHLIJSOIJH nephrite's love plot twist was a nice one. it left me confusing because of the creepy age gap, but i guess it still made the character more likeable. which made this episode very sad. ); |
  |
| Wow this arc was amazing. Showing different perspectives on characters, especially supporting ones, really adds a sense of emphasis on world building. The 'human' feel here and 'human condition' are prevalent. |
| Lie until what you want to be true becomes truth. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't. Lie until you aren't lying anymore! Figures  |
| Holy shit. Was this for real? This episode was super serious, super sad and also really brutal! I was hoping for a Nephrite redemption arc, and even though it was a really short one, it was executed really well. I definitely teared up at the end there. Though funnily enough, it was the Sailor Soldier's sudden appearance that kinda killed the mood for a moment. Was the blood green because of censorship reasons? Like, so it doesn't get a higher rating? I think it actually would have worked, because he's not a human being and it would have underlined his "alien"-ness. Though the characters didn't mention it, so I guess it was intended to be regular blood. |
i actually cried best ship ever |
 |
When I watched this scene, I was like "nah, bad things gonna happen and a moment like this won't last longer." ;; |

| Massive feels this episode, I couldn't have asked for a better conclusion to his arc, seeing each him and Naru trying to help the other hurt to watch, glad that he could at least experience love once before dying. |
 |
| This is so unfair kanashii |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| naru did more than sailor moon itself during 23 episodes just by trying to save nephrite with ther own tiny hands. she struggled so much for him even though she knew it would hurt her. i stan sailor naru. |
| HATSUNE MIKU TOOK ALL MY WEED !!!!!!!11 😡😡 |
| I was not expecting this little romantic side development, but I am so glad to have experienced it! "Does the Dark Kingdom give you off on Sundays?" ψ(｀∇´)ψ |
 |
| Episodes 22, 23 and 24 form a trilogy which is epic enough to be its own movie. This one is by far the most emotional and action-packed of the trilogy, and the entire series so far. I actually cried during this episode. Even though the title spoils what's going to happen and it's a bit cheesy, it's still sad to watch. And this episode ends on such a poignant and depressing note. There's no comedic relief: it ends with Naru sobbing uncontrollably over the death of Nephrite moaning "It's not fair!" and then the sad credits music starts playing. Ouch. Trauma like this drives adults to suicide, I couldn't imagine how it feels for a middle-schooler. I really wish they made Nephrite a good guy to fight alongside Sailor Moon; this anime could use some more male leads besides Tuxedo Mask, who in my opinion is much less interesting than Nephrite. Poor Naru. Why'd they have to kill him? Why do we bring pain and suffering into our fictional universes? For it's incredible balance of action and drama and for being the perfect way to end a trilogy, I deem this episode a must-see. 5/5 Amazing! |

| Fuck you I'm not crying, you're crying. Seriously though, that was really well done. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| Oh look, it's raining... |
 |
| Nice episode title xD And wow, this was as impactful as I remembered it to be. I was still little, but it was one of the first scenes in anime that made me genuinely emotional. The groundwork has been laid in previous episodes and this one managed to drive the point home. Humanizing Nephrite felt so believable and the final interactions between him and Naru with some future plans and a little joke rounded it up nicely. So sweet and heartbreaking ;_; |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| NO NEPHRITE-SAMA!!!!! This episode made me cry T_T I've never shipped anime characters so much before and of course he had to go and die T_T Oh there's a big age gap? I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that. /hj |
