With Sailor Moon and the Inner Senshi (but one) on Nemesis, unable to transform, Tuxedo Mask, King Endymion and Sailor Venus try to reach them. It is revealed that Chibiusa felt responsible for the destruction of Crystal Tokyo because she took the Silver Crystal after being egged on by bullies. Feeling helpless, Chibiusa goes to find Pluto, only to see her happily talking with the King. Upset, Chibiusa wanders into the Space-Time Corridor - without her key.
Tropes used in this episode:
- Big "NO!": Venus unleashes one as Sailor Moon is taken away.
- Broken Pedestal: Chibi-Usa as a child heard many tales about how her mother as Sailor Moon was a hero who never lost a battle. Seeing a crybaby Usagi shakes her faith, however. Justified in that Usagi is still a teenager.
- Cliffhanger: The episode ends with Chibi-Usa falling under Wiseman’s control (even gaining the Black Moon Clan symbol on her forehead) and taking his hand.
- Dramatically Missing the Point:
- Dimande becomes obsessed with breaking Neo-Queen Serenity after she ran out to protect her daughter from him and she looks at him with "contempt". He doesn't consider that she looked at him that way because he threatened a child who she thought might be Chibi-Usa crying instead of seeing him with no warmth.
- Chibi-Usa with her Broken Pedestal lack of faith, not realizing that Usagi is still a teenager and has only fought the Dark Kingdom at this point.
- Dude, She's Like in a Coma: It's implied Dimande dressed Usagi in the gown she's wearing when she wakes up.
- Finagle's Law: Chibi-Usa had to steal the Silver Crystal at the time that the Black Moon Attack. Of course Dimande went after her, triggering Queen Serenity's Mama Bear moment.
- Forceful Kiss: Prince Dimande gives one to Usagi.
- Heroic Willpower: Said Forceful Kiss gives Usagi the strength to break Dimande's People Puppets powers on her, and attempt to transform.
- It's All My Fault: Chibi-Usa blames herself for Crystal Tokyo falling so easily to the Black Moon Clan.
- Just Between You and Me: Because Dimande intends Usagi to become a permanent prisoner on Nemesis, in an Ironic Hell, he's happy to engage in Evil Gloating and explain every detail of the Black Moon Clan's scheme to rewrite history.
- Mama Bear: Neo-Queen Serenity ran out on her own to protect Chibi-Usa from Prince Dimande.
- No-Sell: None of the Senshi can transform because the dark crystal on Nemesis nullifies all incoming powers.
- Oh, Crap!:
- Chibi-Usa has this when she leaves her time key behind.
- All the Senshi get this when they can't transform.
- People Puppets: Prince Dimande forces Usagi to sit down and stay in the chair long enough to plant a Forceful Kiss on her.
- Rule of Drama: Chibi-Usa sees Pluto, who she describes as her only true friend, smiling for the first time ever when talking to her father about how she's strong, regardless of her age. Chibi-Usa interprets this as a sign she's been tossed aside by everyone and has nowhere to go.
- Would Hurt a Child: Dimande nearly kills Chibi Usa before Queen Serenity intervenes.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The captured Senshi as soon as they wake up start to suffocate in their prison; Dimande announces that they're no longer needed since they were bait to lure in Sailor Moon.
- You're Insane!: Usagi says this when Dimande announces the plan to rewrite history.
