   Act 13 - The Last of the Shitennou, Kunzite, Appears   
      
   Wow, an entire episode dedicated to introducing the last general.   
      
   Kunzite makes his debut having been reborn in the same era as Usagi   
   and the other senshi. Like Mamoru, he does not remember his past life,   
   but he does realize that there are memories he is missing. This is   
   unlike the senshi who had no idea they had lived a previous life.   
      
   Venus exits the scene instructing the senshi that she has princess   
   duties to which to attend and to not seek her out, but rather continue   
   to defend the Earth.   
      
   With Jadeite and Zoisite out of the picture, Beryl has little choice   
   but to revive the last general, Kunzite. This will end up taking the   
   entire episode as she blows on a white rose.   
      
   Motoki has lost his turtle and has called Mamoru to help him search   
   for the missing Kamekichi (This guy needs help all right). In   
   response, Mamoru has somehow gotten word that someone has found the   
   turtle.   
      
   Motoki, Mamoru and Usagi show up at the house of the person who found   
   the turtle and Motoki is reunited with his only reason to live.   
      
   In a bizarre coincidence, this person turns out to be Kunzite, still   
   unaware of his past. After Motoki leaves, he invites Usagi and Mamoru   
   to stay for tea as he tells them that his name is Shin and of his   
   missing memories.   
      
   Considerate as always, Usagi goes around the city attempting to gather   
   objects that she thinks may help Shin regain his memories. Mamoru   
   helps her in this quest and takes her to the ocean as well on his   
   motorcycle with Usagi's character song, _Over Rainbow Tour_, playing   
   in the background. If nothing else, this episode provided a really   
   nice opportunity for Usagi and Mamoru to spend some time together. At   
   the end of their search, Usagi shares a meat bun with Mamoru as they   
   sit on a wall looking out at the sea.   
      
   Mamoru delivers these objects to Shin in his home who says that he is   
   afraid of regaining his memories, that he might lose the person he had   
   become if that happens. Then Shin does start to regain his memories   
   and in a rather violent manner. There is a nice touch here where   
   Mamoru goes outside and keeps Usagi from seeing this violence, telling   
   her instead that her gifts worked and Shin had left the house a happy   
   person. This makes Usagi happy and she leaves.   
      
   When Mamoru returns inside, the transformation is complete and Shin   
   has turned into Kunzite. Kunzite pushes Mamoru back and disappears.   
      
   Kunzite's attack is to possess humans and turn them into youma rather   
   then create a youma that possesses humans. Such is the case with his   
   first target, a girl named Ayumi. Sailor Moon is hesitant to attack   
   the youma for fear of hurting the girl inside. However, she finally   
   invokes Moon Healing Escalation and cures the girl. I'm not sure why   
   the problem since she used this particular solution in the very first   
   episode.   
      
   Kunzite then uses the same attack on Sailor Moon and the episode ends   
   with the possibility that Sailor Moon herself may now change into a   
   youma.
