#gun warning

Where my fellow Vulpes freaks at??

So Mamoru and Usagi have new cutesy nicknames for each other: Mamo-chan and Usako. Well, at least Mamoru isn't call Usagi "Dumpling Head" anymore.

Uh-oh, here comes trouble...

And here she is, Trouble Chibiusa. I never really cared for her, and I think her Electra complex is kinda gross.

---

This is the first time I've seen this episode, and I just know that DiC will cut this scene out of their dub.

----

So first, Chibi threatens to kill Usagi, demanding she give her the Silver Crystal; and now she brainwashed Usagi's family into thinking she's family*. I think Mars has competition for "Least Favorite Sailor."

*I mean, technically she is, but obviously, she's not Usagi's cousin.

----

Usagi, give it up. You can't convince your family that this little pink shit is not your cousin. So just play along.

---

Little shit.

---

But she sure convinced Usa and Mamo at first, earlier.

---

Rei and Chibiusa are neck and neck in the race to be the Most Hated Scout.

---

Damn, what kind of witchcraft did that brat use to insert herself into everyone's memories (and New Year's photos) and cover her tracks like that?

Okay, to be fair, maybe Rei can't detect non-evil auras.

---

One battle with Koan later, and Usagi and Chibiusa seem to at least tolerate each other for now.

Too bad for Luna, all three of them have to share the same bed.

Pictured above: a new transition, just for this arc.

Robert Tinkler returns to voice Rubeus, and unlike Vulturos, I can hear a little bit of Max in him. But not much.

Serena now actually likes being called Meatball Head. What.

The scene where Rini threatens Serena with a gun isn't cut out entirely so much as it has been crudely edited so that they can technically keep the scene in without the gun part.

Oh yeah, they changed the Ayakashi sisters' names from Koan, Berthier, Calaveras, and Petz to Catzi, Bertie, Avery, and Prisma.

There was a scene in the original where Usagi spanks Chibiusa. It was obviously cut out in the DiC dub.

Catzi's outfit has been referred to as "last season," which is funny because Naoko Takeuchi based her wardrobe on a real outfit designed by Thierry Mugler in 1992.
