Neptune is attacked. Moon and Uranus learn to work together, and Usagi pretty much finds out Uranus is Haruka.

She didn't find out, she suspects. Good episode.

The episode was alright. Wish the racing part in the beginning was longer but whatever. It was great to see Serena and Haruka work together.

If I'm not mistaken, this episode is often mentioned in feminist articles/reviews of Sailor Moon. I don't know, I kinda found this episode to be really sexist and stupid. The male motocross racers wanted to KILL Uranus just because she was a girl. Come on, that's not feminist, that's sexist.

Yep it was sexist...but did Usagi figure out who Uranus is? Not that any of their identities aren't obvious.

I don't think they wanted to kill her, just hurt her so she wouldn't be able to compete in the next race.

Bunny was annoying in this episode...Get the hint when Uranus says she doesn't want to be touched etc. and letting Uranus scratch her back was uncalled for

This was the gayest episode of Sailor Moon since... the previous episode of Sailor Moon.

Love how the 2 groups of Sailor Senshi are contrasting each other and beginning to sort out their difference.

The chain ring is a pretty good weapon.

"You won against us in a competition, but you're a girl. We will fucking murder you now." - A totally legit thing sane people say and do. Seriously, how contrived is that? The sailor soldiers behave pretty stereotypical again, too... literally one episode after they did a great take on Ami, who struggled with the fact that she was so much into studying, and felt like she didn't have much of an identity besides that. Maybe I am just too frustrated, but these fillers are kinda disappointing. Which is such a shame, because the characters themselves are really fun!

Isn't this like the third monster that's racing themed? Or the third racing themed episode? There was some unintentional slapstick too, with Sailor Moon's Moon Tiara Action flying by from the bushes, and the red lady leaping back with a scream. Or Sailor Neptune being tossed down a cliff nonchalantly, falling like a puppet while the sad music plays. And the power of sensual backscratching makes them grow closer and act as a team!

It sounds like I am overly negative (I am), so let me also mention the good things. I really like the improved overall quality of this season, and the two new sailor soldiers have a great theme whenever they show up. The new enemy is still kind of the same, but at least has an interesting new twist with the "mad scientist" approach. We got some great character stuff so far, and I am looking forward to see more. It's just so disappointing to see so much low effort stuff. I really only get grumpy about series I like but that I felt wasted some potential, so the more I complain, the more I probably like the franchise. I don't even bother watching or commenting on stuff I think sucks. So my little rants are just a sign of my love for Sailor Moon!

yikes i didn't even think the motorcycle guys wanted to kill haruka. wouldn't it make more sense if they just wanted to injure her so she can't compete in the next motorcycle race?

Great episode, really shows how much Usagi has developed - compare her in episode 1 to this for example - and it was nice for the show to show more of Uranus and Neptune's motivations. Was it just me or was that moment in the cave a bit homoromantic though?

Another 5/5 episode. Did you see how well drawn the motor cross bikes and helmets were? The animators drawing in the 90's were a different breed.

Also, it was pretty ridiculous those scrubs thought they could beat a Sailor Guardian. Talk about being out of your league. But the most fun part was watching Truck-kun get denied the chance to isekai some more characters. You'll get em next time Truck-kun.

Usagi is a pretty irresistible character. From tossing deeply hurtful insults and crying tears to disarming someone else by asking them to scratch her back. Usagi is 100% woman and 200% charismatically unbeatable. I kinda wonder how an adventure between Usagi and Luffy would go? Or more appropriately, if Gon hung out with the sailor Senshi for a while, who would end up more captivated by who? Gon's super lady wooing skills vs Usagi's raw charisma.
