A visit from Edwards, an English-speaking acquaintance of Mamoru's, lands Usagi and her friends an invitation to an elegant gathering for foreign university students, where the evening's waltz sets the stage for the monster Chikuon.
Summary
An English-speaking friend of Mamoru's named Edwards drops by, and the encounter leads to invitations for Usagi and her companions to a party held for international students at a university. The formal affair, with its waltzing and its guests from abroad, gives the episode its title and its backdrop.
Key Events
The evening brings out the Daimon Chikuon as the threat behind the festivities. The occasion also sees the girls back in the elegant gowns they wore to earlier gatherings, reusing the formal wardrobe from previous outings such as Michiru's concert.
Notes
The party marks the second occasion Usagi becomes drunk, echoing an earlier first-season episode. Dub versions reworked the setting heavily: the original language barrier between Japanese and English was swapped for one between English and French, while the newer Viz version framed it as the girls needing to speak proper English for the guests. The Cloverway edit replaced Usagi's alcohol with juice, having her simply drink too much and feel unwell.
