#d-point

It's so funny to me that the everyone knows Ami's Bubble Blast does nothing, so she couldn't kill anyone. But she got to disrupt DD Girls' power.

LOVE that Mako got to kill two of them with one big badass blast. I don't know if I ever quite realized she got two of them, but I was paying attention in particular to that this time. She's the powerhouse who gets to kill two with one attack even while Rei is the most dedicated and gets to kill two separately.

They didn't best know what to do with Minako but the VA did an exceptional job. It really brought a lot to the episode that she truly sounded scared to die. Not like battle yells but actually fearful. She's been doing this the longest, has known longer than anyone she could die doing this. And that never under cut how afraid she was. But she fought anyway.

But absolutely they let Rei take the show. She really is such a fucking badass in that episode shooting Fire Soul through a fucking glacier to kill the monster going after Usagi without even proper line of sight. Rei said she would protect Usagi and by god she would not be stopped. And she wasn't even done there.

Amazing. Love it. Gold star. No notes. @keyofjetwolf I feel you. Yes, I immediately thought of you when Rei turned to that last DD girl with that rage filled eye and said she wasn't fucking done and burnt that bitch to a crisp.

Rei Hino used to like winter.

One of the few memories she had of her mother before she passed away was going with her to a clinic in Hokkaido in the wintertime and getting a chance to play in the snow for the first time. Not even her father making her take skiing lessons so she could be more “well rounded” could diminish that.

When they got Makoto it happened so fast that none of them realized what had happened until it was over. And then she was gone. The girl who was ribbing her about her love of Here! Macaroni and Cheese was lying motionless on the ice, but Makoto never hesitated to protect Usagi. And neither would Rei.

When Ami walked towards death, Rei knew she had to keep it together. She had always respected Ami, but she knew how much the girl tried to minimize herself, something which bothered Rei to no end. If you’re as smart as Ami, be proud of it! She always wished Ami could be more assertive, and Rei tried in her own way to get the girl to stand up for herself. Now that same shy genius who has trouble speaking up is walking into certain death to protect Usagi, and to protect them all.

Minako Aino doesn’t seem to have a conscious bone in her body. Admittedly, Rei has known her for the least amount of time, but it seems like she is always acting on instinct and not really planning. It’s probably what saved her life as Sailor V, but it also clashes with her own perfectionist tendencies. But when the ice started to crack underneath Usagi, there was no hesitation, and fuck if that isn’t admirable.

And now, out here on the ice it’s just her, Usagi and one final youma.

Makoto: I know we’re at D-point and everything, but I think I left the kettle on the burner.

Minako: . o O ( I hope no one notices Ami’s hickey.)

Rei: . o O ( Ami who gave you that hickey? )
