Sailor Moon Season ( episodes 1 - 46 )
Often called Sailor Moon Classic or Original season, the first part of the Sailor Moon series focuses on the adventures of the 8th grade schoolgirl Usagi Tsukino. She is a crybaby and clutz, a normal 14-year-old girl who likes shopping, sleeping, and hates Maths and tests. One morning, late as always and on her way to school, Usagi saves a strange black cat from three children. Later in the same day and episode, we see Usagi ling on her bed, when the same cat enters the girl's room. She has the ability to talk and introduces herself as Luna from the Moon Kingdom. The cat gives Usagi a transformation brooch and turns the normal girl into the defender of love and justice, the pretty sailor-suitted Soldier, Sailor Moon.

Sailor Moon fights evil gang called the Dark Kingdom, which consists of Queen Metallia (the leader), Queen Beryl (semi-leader), and the four generals (Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoicite, and Kunzite). They send youma (monsters) to steal human energy, so that they can revive Queen Metallia.

Until episode 8, Sailor Moon fights against the youma with the only help of Luna, but later in the storyline new Sailor Senshi are introduced. They are, in order of appearance: Ami Mizuno (Sailor Mercury), Rei Hino (Sailor Mars), Makoto Kino (Sailor Jupiter), and Minako Aino (Sailor Venus), prevously known as Sailor V. Mamoru Chiba (Tuxedo Mask) is also an ally of the Soldiers, and he often saves them from trouble by stopping the monster with a red rose.

The need of huge amount of energy makes Queen Beryl and her generals search for the Mystic Silver Crystal (Ginzuishou) because it can also revive the villians' leader, Queen Metallia. The crystal appears only after the Rainbow Crystals are combined, therefore the generals search for them, too. Fortunately, after many battles, Sailor Moon manages to combine the Crystals and the Ginzuishou appears, letting the Soldier revive possessed people with "Moon Healing Escalation" and to later destroy the Dark Kingdom.

Eventually, Usagi and Mamoru find out each other true identities while beeing trapped by Zoicite.

During the second half of the season, Mamoru Chiba is brainwashed by Beryl, who is actually in love with him, making him evil Prince Endymion. He fights against the Soldiers, till episode 46, when he almost kills Sailor Moon. She uses her Tiara and stops him, later he gains his past memories back and "dies", as well as Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus.

In episode 46, Sailor Moon becomes Princess Serenity and asks her friends, the Sailor Soldiers, to help her defeat Queen Beryl. The five Soldiers join their powers and the power of the Mystic Silver Crystals destroys the Dark Kingdom. Usagi, Mamoru, Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minako lose their memories as defenders of the world and become normal peoples again for two months.

Sailor Moon R Season ( episodes 47 - 89 )
The second season of Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon R, is divided into two arcs. In the first arc, which consists of episodes 47-59, "R" stays for "return". In the second one, which consists of episodes 60-89, "R" stays for "romance".

Usagi's classmates are attracted of the new students. Natsumi can speak French, Seijuurou can play really well his special flute.

Actually, the new students' true identities are Ann and Ail, two alien lovers who have come to Earth to gain human energy for the Makaiju (the Devil Tree) which is their live source. In their flat, there's something like an invisible dimension hole where the Makaiju is hidden. The aliens create monsters called cardians to drain human energy. When it's time to steal energy, Ail shows Ann his tarot cards, then she chooses one, and the male alien transforms it into a monster by playing his magical flute.

Before Usagi goes to bed, she talks with Naru on the phone. Suddenly, the first cardian, Vampir, attacks Sailor Moon's friend. Usagi is really worried about her friend and goes to her house. Naru's mother and her enter Naru's room. The cardian drains the energy of Naru's mother. Artemis and Luna arrive trying to save the girls and to prevent turning Usagi into Sailor Moon again. Unfortunately, that's impossible. Luna uses her crescent moon and Usagi gains her lost memory. She yells out her transformation phrase and becomes a Sailor Soldier again. Eventually, she destroys the monster. Ail and Ann appear and the warrior confronts them, but they just warn her to not get into their way. Thus, Usagi becomes a Soldier again.


In episode 48, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, and Naru are attacked by a cardian. Luna uses her crescent moon again and the Soldiers gain their past memories. They transform and all of them use their attacks, destroying the cardian. However, Mamoru's past memories aren't regained yet.

Her mission is to find the Mystic Silver Crystal, so that she can save her mother, Neo Queen Serenity from the 30th century.

The rest of the Sailor Team try to rescue her, but before they get chance to transform, the monster captures them. The Soldiers are eventually saved by the attacks of two new Senshi showed in shadows. They are actually Sailor Neptune (Kaioh Michiru), the Soldier of elegance and ocean, and Sailor Uranus (Haruka Tenoh), the Soldier of grace and sky. They are part of the Outer Sailor Senshi, who also include Sailor Saturn, the Soldier of death and reborn, and Sailor Pluto, the Soldier of time and space.

Neptune and Uranus are really very dedicated to their mission to find the talismans, preventing the destruction of the world. The new enemy are also after the Talismans, which are actually three heart crystals: Space Sword, Deep Aqua Mirror, and Garnet Orb. Each time Sailor Moon destroys a monster the new Soldiers check the heart crystal, so that they can make sure that it's not a Talisman. They are ready to sacrifice everyone and everything, even each other, in order to complete their mission. Even though they seem protective of Sailor Moon, in the beginning of S, Uranus and Neptune just fight against daimons for the Talismans. They both don't want to mess in Sailor Team's work and usually leave the battle, leaving the Soldiers in trouble.

The new enemies are the Death Busters which consists of the Messiah, Tomoe Souchi, and Witches 5. They are, as already mentioned, after the Talismans. Tomoe makes the daimon eggs, while the Witches take the heart crystals of the targetted people, hoping that it's a Talismans. Witches 5 usually leave the battle with the Sailor Soldiers, calling out a daimon to take care of the warriors.

However, this transformation is temporal, until SuperS. The Holy Grail is the chalice that appears after the three Talismans are combined. It's also used by Sailor Moon from episode during the second half of S to temporary transform into her power-uped version.

After that, she tells Sailor Moon to transform into Super Sailor Moon and then she uses her new attack, "Rainbow Moon Heart Ache".

The final battle of Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune against the Death Busters is against Mistress 9. Pluto uses her forbidden attack "Time Stop", sacrificing herself. The Outers try to kill Mistress 9, but Sailor Moon believes that Hotaru is still alive, so she saves the evil lady from "World Shaking" and "Deep Submerge".
