Crystal Palace

The palace sits in the Crystal Tokyo of the 30th century, raised on the ground that once held the Azabu-Juban district. Its towers are shaped from immense crystals that climb higher than the surrounding skyscrapers.

The structure seems all but indestructible. When the Black Moon Clan lays waste to Crystal Tokyo, everything nearby is destroyed while the palace stands untouched. A magical safeguard also governs who may cross its threshold, admitting only those it welcomes and casting the unwanted back outside, as Black Lady discovers when she is warped away.

Neo-Queen Serenity, King Endymion, their daughter Small Lady Serenity, the Inner Guardians, and the cats Luna, Artemis, and Diana all make their home here in Crystal Tokyo. In the 90s anime the palace also anchors the network of Crystal Points. Deep within, much as in the old Moon Castle, lies the Door of Space and Time that Sailor Pluto watches over. The people of Crystal Tokyo revere Neo-Queen Serenity as a goddess and never see her leave, though her daughter attends school beyond the walls and King Endymion is glimpsed outside.

During the manga's Stars arc, Pluto rests here after her rebirth and is laid alongside the others when her Pluto Crystal begins to glow, and Usagi often pictures the palace when she imagines the future she hopes to build. In the far-off future depicted in the manga's fifth arc and the Sailor Moon Cosmos film, the palace is at last brought down, destroyed with ease by Sailor Chaos, the guardian form of Chaos permitted to return because Sailor Moon spared the Galaxy Cauldron. The name also echoes a real London structure, the Crystal Palace, which burned down in a great fire.
