Mawashitarou

Character

Mawashitarou is a Lemures of the Dead Moon Circus, sent by Fish Eye during the SuperS season to battle the heroines. Cloaked in the shape of the winged Pegasus, it works to paint the true Pegasus as a villain and to bar him from aiding Sailor Chibi Moon in the fight.

Appearance

At a glance the creature resembles the winged Pegasus, yet the disguise hides a heavily muscled man playing dress-up. Strip away the costume and the Lemures reveals green hair, pointed ears, pinkish skin, grey eyes, and a shade of yellow-green on its lips.

The Pegasus outfit itself is grey, finished with a white mane and tail, broad wings, glowing orange eyes, and a dark jewel fixed to the brow. A pair of red briefs bearing a black spade covers the hips, while grey elf-style shoes cap the feet, each toe tipped by a red bead.

History

Fish Eye's opening move was to set Mawashitarou loose on a stretch of parked cars and trucks, wrecking them so the Sailor Guardians would come to see Pegasus as a threat. He was later loosed on the Super-powered forms of Sailor Chibi Moon and Sailor Moon, ringing the two of them with a cluster of Pegasus statues that raised a forcefield. That barrier kept the genuine Pegasus from reaching Sailor Chibi Moon when she called for him.

The rest of the Senshi, who until then had no idea the impostor existed, at last accepted that Pegasus was no foe; he awarded the others their Super power-ups, they tore through the wall, and the beast's presence finally became clear. In the end Moon Gorgeous Meditation, called down by Super Sailor Moon, is what wipes the Lemures out.

Abilities

Mawashitarou fights chiefly through trickery, wearing the shape of Pegasus to turn the heroines against the real thing. Its concrete weapon is a ring of Pegasus statues that conjures a shielding forcefield, walling its prey off from the winged horse whose aid they seek. That trick offers no defense, though, against Moon Gorgeous Meditation, which brings the Lemures down.
