The 147th overall entry and 20th of the SuperS season centers on Makoto's tender, trusting heart as the Amazon Trio's Tigers Eye sizes her up as his next target. International titles frame the story around a dance.
Summary
The spotlight falls on Makoto and her guileless nature, the quality the episode's various dub titles nod to with names about her innocence and a dance. Tigers Eye of the Amazon Trio marks her as the prey whose dream mirror he intends to search for Pegasus.
Key Events
This is the sole episode of the season in which the Trio member who selects the target and inspects the mirror is not the same one who carries out the capture and calls forth the Lemures, in this case the monster Shuffle Furuo. Usagi, Ami, and Minako appear in the same formal dresses they wore in earlier outings, with Ami's tracing back to an installment aboard a luxury cruise ship.
