Steal a Kiss from Mamoru! An's Project Snow White

The tenth episode of the R season revolves around a school-club staging of Snow White that Mamoru is arranging at Juuban Hall. When the original performers walk out, Usagi and the Inner Guardians step in to fill the roles, and the alien An seizes on the chance to play the heroine opposite Mamoru's prince.

Rigging a role-assignment draw, Natsumi claims the part of Snow White while Usagi is stuck as the wicked queen. The other girls quietly discover the cheat but let it slide out of sympathy after watching An pray for the show to go well. Feeling shut out, Ail conjures the Cardian Bipierrot and orders An to harvest the audience's energy on opening night.

When the curtain rises, Bipierrot storms the stage on a unicycle, smashing the set and knocking An into Mamoru before draining the crowd with a spinning umbrella. Usagi transforms and is bound by the monster's rope until the Moonlight Knight severs it with a rose. The other Guardians leap in, Mars pins the Cardian with an ofuda, Mercury freezes it with Bubble Spray Freezing, and a Moon Princess Halation finishes the fight. Afterward An blames Ail for wrecking her chance at a kiss, and both are left privately longing for what the play denied them.

None of these events adapt anything from the manga. In the original and Viz versions Makoto argues she should play Snow White because of her bust, a line the DiC dub rewrote as being about "talent," which spawned lasting jokes once fans noticed the unchanged chest-thumping animation. The two English dubs also gave the Guardians different introduction lines and portrayed An's tearful outburst in contrasting tones.
