   Watching this again, I was amazed at how much I enjoyed it. Also, I   
   was simply shocked at how very good the dub of this episode was. When   
   Tigerseye met Saori, he was speaking in French and used a French   
   accent, even counting in French. It was actually fantastic and worked   
   quite well.   
      
   Chibiusa dissenters have presented this episode as an example of how   
   Usagi's personality has taken a turn for the worse in SuperS, becoming   
   childlike and petulant while Chibiusa is portrayed as the mature and   
   responsible one of the pair.

   I think they are trying to strike a balance between a humorous and yet   
   grave situation. Personally, I like it and find the MOTD funny, but   
   the situations still emotionally deep and meaningful.   
      
   BTW, when the MOTD is vanquished, all the associated props usually   
   disappear along with the monster. I noticed that the knives pinning   
   Mamoru down remained behind this time.
