   I noticed that too -- I think that perhaps they had not made Usagi   
   into the extreme idealist yet; perhaps we can say that her experiences   
   in this season and in R change her into the "I'll save the world even   
   without the talismans" person we see in S.  It could just be the   
   influence of Ikuhara (who took over as head series director partway   
   through R), though.
