In this Sailor Stars chapter, Seiya goes behind his bandmates' backs to draw Usagi to a Three Lights concert, hoping the performance itself will reveal the truth of the Starlights' mission to her.
Summary
Ignoring the objections of Taiki and Yaten, Seiya quietly invites Usagi Tsukino to a concert by the Three Lights. His plan is to use the music itself as the vehicle for confession, letting the songs carry the story of the Starlights and the cause that brought them to Earth.
Key Events
The episode brings the buried history of the Starlights into the open. It marks the sole appearance of Takeo Shino and of the enemy Sailor Amuse, and offers a first glimpse of Princess Kakyuu, seen only in silhouette.
Notes
Written by Atsushi Maekawa and directed by Hiroki Shibata, the chapter diverges sharply from the manga. There the Starlights' past surfaces only after every Inner Eternal Sailor Guardian has already fallen, Seiya never relays Usagi's history through a song, and the Outer Guardians raise no objection to an alliance, with Haruka herself proposing they join forces. This installment also holds the last use of Space Sword Blaster by Super Sailor Uranus, though she continues to wield the Space Sword afterward.
