   The dub said the same thing, that the house belonged to his family. As   
   far as I can tell, the dub didn't actually say that he was out of   
   work, but rather training to overcome his stage fright (which he did   
   in the first episode he appeared). I guess the only reason that he is   
   still around in the dub is that he likes Rei... maybe.   
      
   In keeping with the dub's effort to make the characters more   
   superficial, they changed the fireplace conversation alot. When Rei   
   asked Yuuichiro about why he continued to train at the shrine when he   
   had such a rich family, in the original he said that he wanted to   
   become a better person. You could see that Rei was impressed by that.   
   In the dub, he simply quips back a joke asking if Rei is going to kick   
   him out now. That entire moment is lost here, even the little side   
   converstation between Usagi and Rei was cut leaving you to wonder why   
   Serena/Usagi has her hand cupped in Rei's direction with a suspicious   
   look on her face.   
      
   When Rei made that most noble gesture, her eyes glistening with loss,   
   pointing to Sailor Moon and reminding TM that Sailor Moon was the one   
   he loved the most, in the dub, she only said that here is Sailor Moon,   
   the princess for whom he is searching.   
      
   The foggy glasses are back to full force in this episode, all of those   
   wonderful, touching, bonding moments were muted and diminished.

   I agree, this was one of those Sailor Moon moments that reminds you in   
   full force just why this is such a wonderful series.
