Key Events

Super Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask crash to the ground, and the guardians believe their princess has died as darkness creeps wider and bodies begin to decay. Luna, Artemis, and Diana dread the worst yet refuse to accept such an easy defeat. It is Tuxedo Mask, breaking the nightmare on his own, who jolts Sailor Moon and the others back to reality, the visions of death revealed as illusion.

The Super guardians turn their combined power on Zirconia and force her to flee into the mirror, with Sailor Moon pursuing and becoming separated from the group. Facing Nehellenia, she casts Moon Gorgeous Meditation to free Sailor Chibi Moon and Sailor Saturn from the shards. The others assault the mirror, Sailor Mercury with Mercury Aqua Rhapsody and Sailor Jupiter with a punch, and every crack that spreads across the glass also appears on Nehellenia's body. With their queen wounded, the Dead Moon Circus falls back to Elysion, and the guardians follow, finding Helios unresponsive to Chibi Moon after spending himself to guard the planet, though they hold out hope he lives so long as the Earth still stands. Then the Dead Moon's ship descends with Nehellenia aboard.
