Sailor Moon R
Sailor Moon R refers to the second season of the Sailor Moon anime.
Makaiju Arc[edit]
The Makaiju arc contained a storyline and a villain group unique to the anime, created by Toei to allow the manga time to catch up with the anime. It had no correlation with any storyline from the manga, although it did introduce Sailor Moon's new transformation Moon Crystal Power, Make Up and attack Moon Princess Halation. Events in this arc were rarely referenced in later anime episodes, although some fans have suggested that Ail and An might be connected to the character of Fiore in the Sailor Moon R movie.
Summary[edit]
Two aliens named Ail and An came to Earth to steal energy using Cardians in order to sustain their "mother," the Makaiju. This new threat prompts Luna to restore the memories of Sailor Moon and the other Sailor Senshi, which had been erased after the defeat of the Dark Kingdom. With Sailor Moon's new powers and the Cutie Moon Rod, and the assistance of the mysterious Moonlight Knight, the Senshi combat these foes until they at last discover that the Makaiju wants love, not raw energy, and that hatred and ambition destroyed most of Ail and An's race. With a newfound understanding of love, Ail and An leave the Earth in peace.

The primary storyline is an adaptation of the manga's Black Moon arc.
Summary[edit]
A mysterious girl appears who also calls herself "Usagi Tsukino" and brainwashes Usagi's family into accepting her as their youngest daughter, Chibiusa. Chibiusa is being targeted by the Black Moon Clan, led by Prince Demande, who are attempting to alter the past to conquer Crystal Tokyo in the future. The fight against these enemies takes the Senshi across time itself, where they find that Chibiusa is the daughter of Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion of Crystal Tokyo, the future selves of Usagi and Mamoru. She is then captured by Wiseman and transformed into an adult form called Black Lady, forcing Sailor Moon and her friends to fight her as well. The power of love at last prevails and transforms her back, and she and Sailor Moon combine the powers of the future and past Silver Crystals to defeat Wiseman.
