Zoisite

Zoisite is a character from the Sailor Moon series.
== Charactah Account ==
Zoisite is the third of the Shitennou to be introduced.
Zoisite teleported with an effect of petals surrounding him. He was also able to levitate in the air, as well as levitate the Rainbow Crystals towards him. He used these petals to distract Tuxedo Mask and the Sailor Senshi, and he was also capable of transforming them into needles. Sometimes, he called out "Zoi!" when using his rose petals.
Zoisite has displayed abilities of pyrokinesis twice: he initially created a ring of flames to corner Motoki and Reika, then later tried to incinerate Usagi and Mamoru by blowing up an elevator. He could also conjure up shards of ice/crystal, and attempted to stab Mamoru Chiba at least three times.

== Trivia ==
* Zoisite was the only Shitennou who both owned Youma and created other Youma from human beings.
* In the Russian dub, Zoisite was mistakenly called "Jadeite" in the early episodes.
* In the Spanish dub, Zoisite is consistently called "Ziosite" by almost the entire cast; only Nephrite calls her (Zoisite is female in that version) by her correct name: "Zoisite".
* When attacking his foes or using the Black Crystal, Zoisite has a verbal tic of shouting the first syllable of his name.
* Zoisite's gender changed in several of the dubs, mainly due to his homosexual relationship with Kunzite being considered inappropriate for the target audience of the dubs including the DiC English dub. This is also because he impersonated Sailor Moon at one point. The Viz Media English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Russian, Greek, Hungarian, Korean, and Cantonese dubs, as well as the Polish version, were among the ones in which Zoisite remained a man. In the Swedish dub, he was also female but in this case, it was because the translators found his original Japanese voice so feminine they didn't realize he was a man in the first place.
** In the Spanish dub, the censorship consisted of making him Kunzite's nephew and erasing any couple-evidence in the dialogues. Despite that, visual evidence remained.
* Zoisite makes a brief cameo in episode 70; when Koan hits Yuichiro, a chibi of him can be seen.
* Zoisite and Kunzite were the first same-sex couple followed by Sailor Neptune and Uranus.
* Zoisite's rivalry with Nephrite is similar to that between Rubeus and Esmeraude later in Sailor Moon R. Zoisite often mocks Nephrite for his repeated failures much like how Esmeraude mocks Rubeus for his failures. This is fitting as Zoisite’s voice actress in the DiC Dub also voiced Esmeraude.
* Zoisite is the second villain to disguise himself as one of the heroes when disguised as Sailor Moon. The first being Nephrite when he disguised himself as Tuxedo Mask. Coincidentally, he and Nephrite had a combative relationship, similar to that of Usagi and Mamoru's at the time.
* Zoisite is one of the only villains to disguise himself as a Sailor Senshi, in this case, Sailor Moon.
