It seemed to have something to do with the jewel in her tiara. Perhaps
Sailor Senshi has a special Youma immune system?

He says Beryl must be tired. I'm sure she would be and also has sore feet
from standing all the time.

I'd like to put that sequence where the appear in their kimonos on a loop
to let it play over and over. Wow, they look good.

Usagi seems to be a bit of a pest and causes a bit of trouble for all of
the others.
Just on a side note, Ayaka sings better than Luna. ^_-

I noticed him looking in the direction of the SECRET room. That's the one
where the door disappears and no one is supposed to know about.
> Ami sets up her computer to monitor Usagi's vital signs ...
I guess the only explanaitoon for that is that her Mother must have brought
the software and sensors home from the Hospital for some reason. If I go
with that, I know Ami is smart enough to make it work.

It seems all Youma have long fingernails. Reminds me of some girls I used
to know. ^_-

Poor Naru, she's a good friend, it's too bad she can't be let in on Usagi's
new life.

Yea, that's how it SHOULD look.

Eh, going a bit too far all of a sudden.

In the anime, she would need the mini computer to do that. It's quite a
stretch to believe that she could find Usagi that fast let alone in the
Dark kingdoms base.

That battle looked pretty good. I'm impressed.

LOL. typical Usagi, she's infected with a youma, her friends are fighting
for her life and what does she do? Sits up and yawns! I love it. ^_^

TM makes a comment that Shin is completely gone. Sailor Moon might have
asked at this point how TM knows anything about Shin.

But was the youma infection defeated or just suppressed?

If I were to stretch my imagination a bit, I could say that Ami called the
others after she found the location, but how she found it in the first
place...???

Next episode looks like an important turning point. We'll see...
