We’re revisiting Sailor Moon R 2x23, “Awaken the Sleeping Beauty: Mamoru’s Distress,” an episode where Mamoru continues making the breakup way harder than it needs to be. Our Sailor Moon R rewatch podcast digs into Mamoru’s mysterious nightmares, Usagi’s heartbreak and jealousy, Chibiusa accidentally drawing the attention of the Black Moon Clan, and the race to save Usagi after she’s trapped under a deadly sleeping spell. And then there’s Tuxedo Mask riding in on a motorcycle to wake her with a kiss. Look, we still have MANY questions about Mamoru’s decision-making and his refusal to just talk to somebody, but Tuxedo Mask on that motorcycle? Extremely cool. We’re breaking down the romance, drama, ridiculous misunderstandings, and that surprisingly emotional final moment as our Sailor Moon series retrospective continues deeper into the Black Moon arc.
