Sailor Moon

==How Sailor Moon joined the Tourney==
The meta-series introduces Usagi Tsukino as a schoolgirl living in 20th-century Tokyo. It initially depicts her as a well-intentioned, but underachieving crybaby who prefers the life of a normal teenage Earth girl. Nevertheless, she continues to fight the evils of her past life and protects the Earth with the Silver Crystal, as the Champion of Justice, Sailor Moon, which provides for most of the conflict within both the manga and the anime.
Her journey begins as she's running to school when she sees some neighborhood kids abusing a cat and rescues it (in the manga she accidentally steps on the cat, and trips over it; in the live-action, the cat falls from the sky onto her head). Later, the cat comes into her room and reveals herself as a talking cat named Luna, who serves as the mentor archetype for Sailor Moon. Luna gives Usagi a magical brooch, which helps her transform into Sailor Moon (the "Soldier of Love and Justice"), and tells her that she is a Sailor Soldier who must fight for peace. She also tells her that she must find the rest of the Sailor Soldiers, as well as their princess. Though at first Usagi is portrayed as a "reluctant heroine" (in the anime she often is rescued by Tuxedo Mask) as time goes on her character grows more confident and mature. However, she still has her crybaby moments late into the meta-series.
==Classic Mode Intro Movie==
A group of criminals gather to sell heroin. "Okay, get the merchandise ready." Just then, a light flashes and they see Sailor Moon. "Hey you slimy drugheads!" Sailor Moon says then does her usual intro pose, "I'm Sailor Moon, and you better cancel that drug shipment, in the name of the Moon!" The thugs charge, but Sailor Moon defeats them with hand to hand finishes the last thug with her Moon Tiara Magic. She tied the surviving thugs up, "Well, you better learn your lessons when the cops get here." then runs off. She did not see Nobunaga watching from the shadows. "So, the god of the moon arrives. I feel honored." He sees the tied up drug thugs, walks to them with his sword ready. "Please, allow us to serve you. Help us get back at-" before the drug lead could finish, Nobunaga kills him and the thugs.
==Classic Mode Ending Movie==
Nobunaga Oda and Sailor Moon continuously fight with Nobunaga's sword and Sailor Moon's scepter intercepting strikes continuously. And when the Sailor Scout leader lands a punch, Nobunaga pushes her back. She gets up and glows her scepter with energy while the Owari lord glows his sword with dark energy. They dash attack past each other, and the Nobunaga falls to his knees. The Demon King laughs and Sailor Moon demands, "Why are you laughing at your losing time?" Nobunaga gets up weakining and explains why he purposely let her win, "A man's life is 50 years. And here, was our destined battle, Moon god. And if either of us died, would all be lost?" Sailor Moon tries to answer, "All would be lost if I-" but Nobunaga stops her "No! The world will simply keep moving forward." Tuxedo Mask, Luna, Artemis and the other Sailor Scouts arrive, "Sailor Moon, did you finally win?" Tuxedo Mask asks. She nods. We are then shown images of Hideyoshi and Ieyasu planning moves while Nobunaga explains, "The world is full of capable warriors. Willing to continue my legacy. Men who would push the world forward." Sailor Moon then offers, "Won't you help us undo the damage you caused?" "Tepid. Try it and fail, God of the Moon." Nobunaga swipes his hand then prepares to cut his own neck with his final words, "I will wait for you and your allies in Hell..." then kills himself off screen with the camera on Sailor Moon's face. Sailor Moon cries then swears, "I swear it, Nobunaga! I will take responsibility for my actions! I will fight on for justice!" This finally elicts cheers from the Sailor Scouts, and their allies.
