TRIVIA

- This was the only episode of S that Hotaru truly appeared in as Sailor Saturn.
- This episode featured the first time that the guardian Sailor Senshi combined their powers to turn Sailor Moon into one of her advanced forms. They would do this again in episodes 168 and 169.
LASTS
- Crisis Make Up, Pharaoh 90, and the Holy Grail were all seen for the last time.
- Mistress 9 last physically appeared here. Memories of her were later shown in episodes 126 and 167.
- Sailor Moon used the one-time attack Moon Cosmic Power against Pharaoh 90.
OTHER VERSIONS
- Cloverway’s English dub (titled “Darkness, My Old Friend”):
The title, by coincidence or otherwise, is part of a famous line from the Simon & Garfunkel song “The Sound of Silence.”
Mistress 9 wrapping her hair around Sailors Uranus and Neptune’s throats was removed, but the scene where the two were choked was left intact.
Crisis Make Up was called “Moon Crisis Power Transform.”
PLACES
- Mugen Academy
