Notes

An animation slip leaves Reika wearing makeup during the confession scene when she should not yet have it on, and a storefront sign misspells "Parlor" as "Palor." In the Latin Spanish and English versions Sailor Mars blurts out Sailor Moon's civilian name, Serena, in front of Tiger's Eye. This marked the last appearance of the extended Sailor Chibi Moon transformation.
