The Sailors represent love. The villains want to completely destroy the earth with silence. The opposite of love is not hate, but nothingness.

Minako doesn’t really like Asai, she likes what he represents: a normal teenage life full of school, sports, friends and a distinct lack of crimefighting

Ami doesn’t have the self-confidence to win a race and appear better than anyone. Only she would cheat in order to lose.

Usagi feels so much guilt because those she loves get hurt protecting her. She doesn’t realize they do it because they love her in return.

Death Phantom convinces Chibiusa to destroy the world by saying no one loves her. To a child, being unloved is equivalent to nonexistence.

Even the villains call it the “Evil Dark Crystal.” From their perspective, wouldn’t it be “Good Crystal” or “Crystal of Harmless Ambition”?

Ami wasn’t affected by the energy-sucking clocks because she already had a nice one and wasn’t swayed by the massive sale. Are the dark forces targeting the poor?

So far all the evil energy-sucking ploys have taken the form of large corporations. #SailorScoutsAgainstCapitalism?

Usagi acknowledging her own character development is, in itself, character development. Last season she probably thought she’d never change.

Was Koan redeemed because she realized for herself that her love was manipulative, or because Sailor Moon used the crystal and said words?
