Awesome / Shadowjack Watches Sailor Moon

Go To

All the Crowning Moments Of Awesome from the original are at least as awesome in this depiction...but a few get added:

  • The first illustration for the series? Jadeite getting run over with his own plane from Episode 13.
  • Shadowjack gets one for Episode #44, where he describes the fall of the Silver Millennium in (slightly imperfect, but still impressive) Shakespearean-style iambic pentameter.
  • In Episode #71, the high-stake chess game between Sailor Mercury and Berthier becomes The Immortal Game.
  • Writing up a Sailor Moon rock opera.
  • The entire ending fight of an episode getting rewritten to be a clash between a Daimon and Yamandaka, two wrestling monsters, and her defeating the enemy but nearly dying before being saved by Sailor Moon!
  • The "Serenity's husband is Malcolm Reynolds" theory getting fanart done of it by none other than Erin Ptah of And Shine Heaven Now and But I'm a Cat Person fame.
  • Remember Episode #44? He topped that - in the same fashion, nonetheless - with a two-parter for Episode 125.
  • From the comments on Episode 111:
    "And then there are those random coincidences when Shadowjack doesn't realize how right he is because he wasn't even trying to seriously guess anything. I mean, using the phrase "glaive Messiah" in Hotaru's debut episode?! And meaning it as a D&D joke? That's like shooting blindfolded without even knowing the target is there, and hitting the bullseye."
  • One particularly memorable illustrated recap came near the end of the S season, where he pays a eulogy to the Witches5 to the tune of "Ten Little Indians". The final upset is chilling.
    Once there was a crooked teacher
    Who taught in a crooked hall.
    For aid, he had six witches;
    Here is how he lost them all.
    SIX little witches
    To bring his god to life:
    ...and then there were FIVE.
    FIVE little witches
    Fought for the highest score;
    ...and then there were FOUR.
    FOUR little witches
    Loved to watch T.V.:
    ...and then there were THREE.
    THREE little witches
    Built a garden view:
    ...and then there were TWO.
    TWO little witches
    Playing with a gun:
    ...and then there was ONE.
    Cyprine / Ptirol
    ONE little witch
    She split herself in two...
    ...and then there was ONE.
    ONE little witch
    Brought again to life:
    Mistress 9: And then there was NINE.
    Mistress Nine: Messiah of Silence
    To get this girl,
    Teach' murdered two,
    For love he has forgotten.
    He thinks that she's the Messiah,
    So he'll surely spoil her rotten!

  • Since the first season enemies are based in Antarctica, of course Neon Genesis Evangelion comes up. Which leads to a non-canon scene where the Sailors stop Second Impact.
  • In the recap of the Manga version, which is notoriously Darker and Edgier (despite actually being the original) we have Venus as Sailor V. Who is Stone. Cold. Badass. Of particular note is her entrance, wrecking the opposition while Artemis blasts "Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter", and her fight with both Brainwashed Jupiter and Evil Tuxedo Mask.
