The 95th episode and sixth of the S season centers on Naru and Umino, whose secret entry into a couples' affection contest patches up their drifting bond but makes them the target of a Daimon hunting for a pure heart at the moment of their victory.
Summary
Both Naru and Umino separately confide in Usagi that they feel their relationship drifting apart. Usagi learns of a contest in which couples prove the strength of their bond, with the winners lighting a giant heart together, and discovers that the two had grown distant only because each was secretly holding a ticket meant as a surprise for the other.
Key Events
The competition draws Michiru and Haruka as fellow entrants, who post impressive results while Umino stumbles through embarrassing mistakes. After the pair drops out, Umino delivers a heartfelt speech that wins the contest. As the couple moves to light the heart, it warps into a Daimon and rips out Umino's Pure Heart Crystal. The Sailor Senshi are caught by the monster's trickery and rescued by Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune. Sailor Moon destroys the Daimon, and after Uranus and Neptune confirm the heart is not one of the talismans they seek, it is returned to Umino.
