I suppose this is an example of 'tough love' since Rei is trying to help
Minako, but is doing by trying to force Minako to accept it.

As a leader, Minako is making a big mess of things. She isn't fully
capable herself and now she's sent away 25% of her team.
Also, Usagi doesn't know about this detail yet, I think the Princess can
over-ride Minakos decision.

Ah, I was wondering what happened to her this time.

When Zoisite creates his youma, we see it sort of emanate from him, so
why then does it have boobs?

I couldn't help laughing when the flowers went flying all over the place.
A couple of things happen here, Zoisite turns her cell phone into an MP3
player with his piano music so she can't make a call and the Youma attack
interupts Usagis henshin. I thought the henshin sequence was just for our
benefit and to their point of view it was almost instantaneous.

It was very nice of him to stop by and apologise BEFORE she dies.

True, but to be fair, the youma did just silently appeared behind her out
of thin air. Now if it made a sound like a Tardis, that would be
different. ^_-

That was a neat trick by the Youma. It must have just thought of it
though because there were other times that attack could have been used in
that same fight.

Well, not physically maybe. ^_^
