Usagi vs. Rei: Nightmare in Dream Land

Called to Hikawa Shrine, the team hears Luna celebrate now having three guardians and set finding the Princess as their next goal. Usagi and Rei promptly squabble over a manga. Ami produces a newspaper reporting that fifty people have disappeared without trace at the Dream Land amusement park. The vanishings are Jadeite's doing, a lure for the guardians, and Queen Beryl, furious that three now oppose her, warns him not to fail.

Investigating the park, the group loses track of Usagi, who has wandered off to ride a carousel. Rei drags her back just as an animatronic lion, controlled by the so-called Dream Princess, approaches. Rei senses an evil aura around the mechanical animals, and the Princess announces a show at the House of Sweets. Luna splits the group, pairing herself with Ami and leaving Usagi and Rei to bicker their way through the park.

Inside the House of Sweets, the Dream Princess lulls the crowd to sleep with her breath and drains their energy through an apple, Ami among the captives. Rei senses the danger, and Fire Soul breaks open the locked door. The Princess sweeps Usagi and Rei into a dream where Sailor Mars is bitten by a snake and begins turning to stone, until Akuryo Taisan halts the curse. The enemy then reveals her true form as the doll-like monster Murido and traps the pair in a second dream, a romantic carousel ride with Tuxedo Mask, meant to siphon their energy.

The real Tuxedo Mask strikes the apple from her grasp, freeing them. Ami wakes, becomes Sailor Mercury, and confuses the monster with Bubble Spray, while Sailor Mars pins a paper charm to its face. Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars then combine Moon Tiara Action with Fire Soul to reduce Murido to ash, leaving Jadeite to answer for another failure.

This is a filler chapter with no basis in the manga, and it invents Rei's brief attraction to Tuxedo Mask, which never occurs in the source. It contains the first of only three times Moon Tiara Action is paired with another guardian's attack. The in-story newspaper is dated to match the episode's Japanese broadcast, and the DiC dub carried the title Nightmare in Dreamland.
