When Koan tries to incinerate Yuichirou, Rei saves him, but her ankle has been burned and this hinders her mobility. Koan then taunts about Rei about her and Yuichirou and the latter replies that Yuichirou is not her boyfriend and she does not understand about them.

When Koan does not listen to her words, she tries to take Chibusa. Tuxedo Mask intervenes and saves Chibusa; Koan failing her mission. Rubeus arrives and tells Koan that she was useless in his team and Koan tells him that love is a beautiful thing. He also gave her the bomb to stop the Sailor Senshi and leaves her due to her failures. Sailor Moon and the other Inner Senshi arrive and Sailor Venus attacks the bomb that Koan handed with her Venus Love Me Chain and Sailor Jupiter destroys it with her Sparkling Wide Pressure.

Rei then saves her after being knee smashed by Sailor Jupiter. She convinces Koan to start all over without Rubeus. Koan then gives up on being evil as she cries remorsefully, she then tells Sailor Moon to purify her with her Crystal Star Brooch and she successfully purifies Koan into a normal woman who works as a make up lady.
