Ami Mizuno Quotes

The page records this moment twice, and the two English dubs give Ami entirely different memories. As Princess Serenity faces Super Beryl in the first season's finale, she flashes back to a line from each of her fallen friends. The DiC dub hands Ami "Hey, Serena. I'll help you finish this assignment if you want." Viz hands her this, followed by a giggle in the stage direction. DiC chose the obvious version of a character introduced in an episode titled "The Girl Genius Is a Monster": the clever one, remembered for homework. Viz chose the girl off duty, laughing about love, and it is the better choice. A memory summoned at the worst moment of the season should be the friend rather than her function, and only one script understood that. Nothing here is checked against the Japanese, so the argument is between two English decisions. On that ground Viz wins plainly.

Sailor Star Healer wants to know why the four of them took the hit, and Maker, earlier in the same fight, had warned that the Starlights would not be made to feel indebted. Mercury's answer, given with her last breath, calls the three of them friends anyway, and the debt is exactly what it creates. Venus follows by telling them they are loved as much as Sailor Moon, and Jupiter turns the feeling into a request: take our place, and protect Usagi and our world. Mercury, Venus and Jupiter spend their final lines recruiting replacements. The commitment holds. Two episodes later Uranus, fading, tells Fighter to protect Usagi from now on, so a second pair of dying Guardians hands the same job to the same visitors. And in the final episode Usagi credits the Star Lights with teaching her that her friends are only gone if she gives up. Mercury gets no clever last word of her own. What she leaves is a claim on three outsiders who walked out on Usagi earlier in this same episode, and that claim is what keeps Usagi standing to the end.
