The 186th installment overall and the 20th of Sailor Stars follows Usagi as she trails Chibi Chibi through an entire day, hoping the pursuit will reveal where the little girl keeps finding sweets and shed light on her origins.
Summary
When Chibi Chibi turns up at the Tsukino home loaded with treats and an old-fashioned doll, Usagi grows curious about where she keeps getting such things. Determined to learn more about the mysterious child, Usagi shadows her for the whole day.
Key Events
The episode's featured enemy is the Phage named Sailor Antique, whose confrontation drives the day's action. Ikuko Tsukino appears here as well, the lone member of Usagi's family to show up during the fifth season.
Notes
Penned by Genki Yoshimura and directed by Masahiro Hosoda, the episode first aired in Japan on September 7, 1996, and tells an original story with no counterpart in the manga. It carries the reworked animation for Star Sensitive Inferno, revised to add the Sailor Star Yell, and stands as the final time Eternal Sailor Moon uses Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss before that attack gives way to Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss. A close-up on Usagi's mouth as hunger strikes returns from an earlier SuperS episode, and a comparable shot recurs when Luna jabs at a tooth after Ikuko brings up the family's cavities.
