Default RE: Episode 61: Usagi's big shock! Mamoru says he's breaking up(Sailor R) (Talkback)

Quote:
Synopsis from the ADV box-set:

Rubeus reveals to the evil sisters that he has found another way to destroy Crystal Tokyo. There are five Crystal points around the city that they need to infect with dark energy. Meanwhile, Mamoru is getting terrible visions of a future city being destroyed. He decides he needs to break up with Usagi. Usagi is devastated by the news, and she wanders into a make-up store with tears on her face. The store is one of the crystal points, and Berthier has already installed a droid there. The droid is selling make-up that is infected with dark energy. The droid attacks Usagi, and she transforms into Sailor Moon. Tuxedo Kamen arrives to offer words of encouragement, and Sailor Moon destroys the droid. However, even though Tuxedo Kamen came to defend Sailor Moon, he denies that he has any feelings for her.
This episode probably wouldn't have been too bad, had it not been for the Usagi/Mamoru stuff going on in the episode. It's not that it's impossible to see, to an extent, Mamoru's reasoning behind his decision. It's how callously he went about it, and his disregard for the fact that there are two people in his relationship with Usagi. Four if you really want to include their superhero identities. It just seemed to make it out to be that, while he seemed to care for Usagi herself, he seemed to completely disregard her feelings, if that makes sense.

Nothing against your name-sake, though, MK. Moonlight Knight, as said before, was a cool character.
