The Priest is an unnamed Catholic clergyman who unknowingly carries the orange Rainbow Crystal, the shard that holds the monster Boxy among the Seven Great Monsters. He surfaces briefly in the first Sailor Moon series and stands out as one of the rare Western-looking faces in the early anime.
This clergyman combs his brown hair forward to a sharp point and wears a slim moustache, and his eyes carry a bluish grey tint. When Boxy bursts out of him, the monster keeps that same swept-up hairstyle, even though nothing else about the creature recalls a member of the clergy.
Little is established about the man behind the collar. He functions purely as a bystander, one of seven ordinary people who each carried a crystal shard with no awareness of it. Whether he held a latent gift of his own, as hosts like Crane Game Joe and Ryo Urawa did, is never confirmed either way.
The Priest turns up in the twenty-sixth episode and makes a short return in the forty-first. His crystal conceals Boxy, and once the monster is drawn out its powers break from the pattern set by the other hosts. Rather than reflecting his religious calling, every one of Boxy's moves is built around boxing, with the priest's pointed hair the sole carryover. Viewers have noted that he may be among the earliest non-Japanese figures shown in the series, though the art style makes such distinctions hard to pin down. A similar priest, unpossessed this time, later appears in acts 17 and 18 of the live-action Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.

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....

The Priest combs his brown hair forward to a sharp point, wears a slim moustache, and has a bluish grey eye tint, and when Boxy emerges from him, the monster keeps that same swept-up hairstyle.
The Priest's Rainbow Crystal hides the monster Boxy, whose boxing-themed powers have no connection to the Priest's religious calling aside from his signature hairstyle.
The Priest first appears in episode twenty-six of the original anime and makes a short return in episode forty-one.
A similar, unpossessed priest later appears in acts 17 and 18 of the live-action series Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
