Jumou is a doll-like female youma that Nephrite uses in his push to revive Queen Metalia. Hidden inside a grieving dollmaker's prized creation, she saps the girl's energy and battles the Guardians with animated dolls and detachable limbs, until Sailor Moon exploits her weak point and destroys her.
Jumou is designed as a life-sized humanoid doll, in the same mold as Murido and Karakuriko. Dark hair of medium length frames her face in an asymmetrical cut, and she carries an eerie, mannequin-like air, her proportions overdone and her joints visibly segmented. Long, slender limbs and darkened joint areas drive home the doll-like impression.
Jumou commands the dolls that Mika builds, sending them soaring and snapping after Sailor Moon, and they sprout fangs at her will. Her own arms and legs come apart and grow back once severed, which lets her strangle Sailor Moon with nothing but her detached hands. The single flaw in her build is her right foot, the weak point that ends her.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
Nephrite sets out to drain the energy of Mika Kayama, a talented French-doll maker left depressed after Usagi's brother Shingo broke her cherished doll. Posing as Masato Sanjoin, he calls on her mother to talk shop and secretly plants Jumou's essence in the doll Mika is building, which drives the girl into an obsessive round-the-clock fixation on crafting replicas. Suspecting the Dark Kingdom is behind it, Usagi and Ami head to the family's private doll exhibit at the art museum in Juban to look into it; Usagi also brings Shingo along so he can offer an apology gift. As they greet Mika, Jumou erupts from the original doll and siphons the girl's energy, hurling Shingo aside, and Usagi seizes the moment to become Sailor Moon. The monster flings Mika's fanged dolls at the group, but Sailor Mars pins them still with her Anti Evil Scrolls. When Jumou throttles Sailor Moon using detachable hands, Fire Soul burns her arms off, only for them to regrow. Sailor Mercury's visor pinpoints the weakness in the right foot, and when Tuxedo Mask forces every limb to snap back into place at once, Sailor Moon lands the fatal blow. Mika and Shingo both come to unharmed, and Mika makes him a Sailor Moon doll of his own.
