In the 1990s Sailor Moon anime, Zoisite is the third general of the Dark Kingdom to step forward, a vain and vicious schemer devoted to Kunzite. He hunts the Seven Rainbow Crystals through cruelty and deceit, feuding bitterly with Nephrite before Queen Beryl ends him for defying her.
He favors a blue-grey uniform trimmed in green, cinched by a slim black belt and finished with tall boots and white gloves. Auburn waves are swept up and bound with a green tie, and a pair of small green studs sits at his ears.
Preening and cruel, he thrives on the misfortune of his rivals, above all Nephrite, whom he needles at every failure and sours over whenever the other general keeps his standing. His affections belong entirely to Kunzite, his commander and lover. Where earlier villains hid behind ordinary personas, Zoisite rarely bothers with a human guise, preferring to strike the moment a target is within reach.
His run begins alongside Nephrite, and the two spend their overlapping episodes locked in mutual contempt. Certain that Nephrite has turned traitor, Zoisite dispatches three of his own Youma to hunt him down; one succeeds in killing the general and seizing his Black Crystal before the guardians destroy the creature. With Nephrite gone, Zoisite claims command and turns the Black Crystal to a new purpose, tracking down the people who unknowingly carry the Seven Rainbow Crystals. He collects several, though Tuxedo Mask repeatedly denies him a clean sweep.
Beryl orders him to lure Tuxedo Mask back to the Dark Kingdom, but Zoisite defies her, trapping Mamoru in an elevator to burn him alive and dragging a startled Usagi along by accident, then driving an ice shard into him. Once the scattered crystals fuse into the Silver Crystal, Sailor Moon awakens as Princess Serenity and strikes him down. Returning home in disgrace, he is executed by Beryl for his insubordination and dies cradled in Kunzite's arms, his end offered as a warning against ever harming Prince Endymion.
In combat he vanishes in a swirl of petals, drifts through the air, and pulls the Rainbow Crystals toward himself by will alone. Those petals double as weapons, hardening into needles, and he twice turns to fire, ringing enemies in flame and later rigging the elevator blast. He also summons shards of ice to run his foes through, often barking the first note of his own name as he attacks.

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....
