This is when we start seeing that something is up with Tuxedo Kamen, and Usagi proves herself to Ami, Rei, and Luna.

Still Usagi trapped in the tennis ball and bouncing around still cracks me up. lol and Tuxedo Kamen saying it looks like fun.

So, there might actually be a reason for Tuxedo Mask's 20 second appearances?

yaya Tuxedo Mask didn't just throw a rose, and then leave. This episode is awesome. It made me laugh a couple of times xD

Dang, that girl knew like the 108 Hadoukyuus or something.
Gotta love that Tuxedo mask did something more than throw a rose and leave though.

The animation when the monster was stealing Rui's energy was great! Very creepy. That monster had a massive flat top. It's not very evil of her to turn Sailor Moon into a tennis ball! Usagi couldn't have been more dorky!
I'm glad we finally got to see Tuxedo Mask fight!

Holy Shit Batman! Tuxedo Mask actually did something this time! I already miss the times when he would save Sailor Moon with only a rose with a cheesy one liner on top of it.

This episode wasn't all that exciting to me xD
It was just average. Probably because tennis doesn't really interest me and the only point of interest was Tuxedo Mask actually helping out for once.

Serene bouncing around in a tennis ball was hilarious. Wonder why Tuxedo mask keeled over like that. I forgot that he had some kind of problem with his memories and such.

Some development of Tuxedo Mask...and Usagi not only got to fight beside him, she ended up clinging to him when he saved her. Yes I do like this mini-arc with the new underboss quite a bit better.

Great episode. I love the formulaic nature of this series because it means you have a nice new story to expect each episode. It keeps it fun to watch.

A strong return with this new arc! The atmosphere is different somewhat, it's heavier and scarier by a margin. New villain also has a different means to achieve their goals, I don't see how Sailors are going to intercept this, it was all pretty random bumping into evil scheme before, but now said schemes are more difficult to see.
Monster looked very much like US comics (Batman?) and the fight was much more intense and longer than before, yet the fun part was not forgotten. Usagi in a tennis ball - that's brilliant. And TM now make a team with her, that's cool. We also get to see the extent of his power. He can't handle the monster on his own, it seems.

I like how the new bad guy is actually different in his methods, definitely helps keep the series fresh! I was also excited to see Tuxedo Mask finally being much more useful and not just immediately leaving again. Usagi might still be the clumsy crybaby, but there are definitely signs of growth and she seems to get used to her job more and more.

I like it!

This was a good episode. It started out slow but when it got good it got really good. It had some very good action, a good story in the second half, some very funny bits (Usagi in a tennis ball!) and even some emotional moments.

The new villain has a different way to execute plans, this looks interesting and if well done it can be very nice for the more personal format they will have with the focus on one character instead of a group of randoms.

Tuxedo Mask seems to maybe have like a time limit for his powers? That would explain why he can barely appear, his timing is always godlike tho, love this guy.

The dark kingdom keeps acting like it's the schemes of the week that's the problem. Granted targeting one person is less likely to make the papers and draw in the senshi, but none of them talk about that.

This episode marks the first David-Bowie inspired monster of the week.

I really love how 80's and 90's japan loved David Bowie that a lot of anime and japanese videogames featured David Bowie expy.

Dark Kingdom, what a great villain group name lmfao.
Tuxedo Mask get very involved this week, revealing an extending pole weapon and what looks to be some sort of issue.

Usagi looked good as a tennis ball.

Nice episode, was looking forward to see Nephrite, he was my favorite antagonist in this season.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

So Tuxedo Mask actually stayed around to fight the monster this time, blinding the monster with a rose whilst sitting on a bench? I'm impressed. Though it looks like he's got issues with his state? Why is that? Anyways Nephrite seems to be a lot different from Jadeite, he's more manipulative I see, he uses his victims just so he can steal their energy, his "advice" is more him trying to get them to drop their guard. It's nice that we are seeing some development there. And also Nephrite just wants to target one person rather than multiple like Jadeite did. I think I might prefer him more than the latter if I'm honest.

A new villain gets a really weird episode. I liked the creepy imagery in this. Also Usagi turned into a tennis ball - what LOL! It was sort of slow because the other girls were almost entirely absent. Next episode looks cool!

This ep was rather dull apart from Rui and Naru part, wonder if Usagi will get char development any time soon.. it was fun until now but starting to feel bit weird, lucky for her serious consequences not seem to happen in this ani.
Learnt about a very famous tennis player.
the next ep looked fun in the preview, too bad that Rei's love interest is a filler, not gon watch filler date ep in anime with rom tag lol
