Moon Makeup #12: The Death of Zoisite (SM 34-36)

Moon Makeup

This week on Moon Makeup we give Zoisite the goodbye he deserves! Yes, it’s finally time for our favorite general to kick the bucket, but at least he gets to do it in a big time two-parter (really a three-parter if you count the final episode from last week, as it bleeds right into this one). First it’s episode #34, The Shining Silver Crystal: The Moon Princess Appears, as Mamoru falls right into a trap like a complete idiot and we finally learn the very mysterious identity of the moon princess. Yes, here on Sailor Moon. Very mysterious! It goes right from there into episode #35, Returning Memories: Usagi and Mamoru’s Past, with some flashbacks to the Moon Kingdom, the aforementioned tragic death of our Best Gay, Sailor Moon gets the Silver Crystal by crying, and Mamoru getting whisked away by the Dark Kingdom. He re-emerges in episode #36, Usagi’s Confusion: Is Tuxedo Mask Evil?, as we start our next filler arc with the Dark Kingdom searching for Sailor Moon’s true identity so they can recover that Silver Crystal. The Wheel of Obvious Traps lands on “famous hair salong giving out expensive treaments for free”, but more importantly Tuxedo Mask is back, and this time he’s BAD! And he’s not actually Tuxedo Mask at all, now he’s Endymion, a commander of the Dark Kingdom! So why is he still wearing that Tuxedo Mask outfit, you ask? Well, uh, good question. All this and more, this week!
