Act 33 - Infinity 7, Transformation, Super Sailor Moon


 * This page for the thirty-third chapter of the manga series. For the episode of the second anime series, please see Act 33 - Infinity 7, Transformation, Super Sailor Moon (episode).

Using the Holy Grail and the combined powers of the Sailor Guardians, Sailor Moon transforms into Super Sailor Moon for the first time.

Plot
Broken from their trance, the Senshi see the Holy Grail appear before Sailor Moon. The Outer Senshi's talismans pour their power into the grail and the Inner Senshi pour their power into it as well. Sailor Moon drinks from the Grail, causing the Senshi's broaches to change shape, and Sailor Moon powers up to Super Sailor Moon. The power is felt by the Death Busters and Hotaru as well as a mysterious being within her. Sailor Moon destroys Cyprine and Ptitol with Rainbow Moon Heartache.

The Outer Senshi are surprised that the Talismans reacted the way that they did when they had resonated. The Outer Senshi decide that it was time to tell Sailor Moon the truth of their mission. They told her of the story of the last time their talismans resonated as they did. During the Silver Millenium, after the moon was attacked and Serenity ended her life in grief, the Sailor Uranus, Neptune and Pluto had to watch from a distance. In the end, their talismans resonated and they had awakened the tenth and last Sailor Soldier who was never to awaken: Sailor Saturn. Sailor Saturn used her Silence Glaive and had ended all life in the Solar System, effectively ending the little ruins of Silver Millennium.

They continue to explain that Sailor Saturn will only awaken when the end draws near and she will end everything and everyone once more. They mention that in their investigation of Mugen, they realized that the spirit/soul of Sailor Saturn herself has been reborn and reincarnated as fifteen-year old Hotaru Tomoe. In order to stop Sailor Saturn from awakening, the Outer Senshi plan to kill Hotaru.

Sailor Chibi Moon runs to Hotaru's house to stop the Outer Senshi from killing her. Hotaru, lying unconscious, awakens as Chibi Moon approaches her. Hotaru's eyes have a monstrous appearance and steals Chibi Usa's Silver Crystal. Hotaru's body begins to change, with her hair growing long, her body growing taller and the symbol of the Death Busters appearing on her forehead.

Chibiusa is found unconscious, no longer breathing.
