Makoto’s fight with her impersonator though.
What am I supposed to do with this.
Rei and Ami work together to take down theirs.
(And Ami adorably can only attack the Mars droid after it hurt Mako)
But Mako takes hers down alone. 
She’s such a bamf.

I don’t know how many more amazing Makoto moments I can handle. But I know more are coming.

I really love how the musical is handling their reactions to Chibiusa. Mako and Rei are pretty much just taken in with the cuteness, and they want to protect her. (Makoto I think is coming from a place of wanting kids and a family, while Rei is coming from a place where she’s just fiercely protective of kids.)

Ami on the other hand, understands Chibiusa. Ami tends to have an amazing way of connecting with kids across all versions, and I love that they’re using that here. She’s the one who can get on Chibiusa’s level and help the others understand.

But Minako’s reaction is probably my favorite. I don’t think Minako cares much for kids. I don’t think she hates them or anything, but I don’t think she has any extra patience for them or gives them more leeway than other people. She can’t trust Chibiusa without knowing more about her. She sees Chibiusa as a person and a possible threat, not as an innocent child. She’s the only inner who doesn’t run over to Chibiusa when she enters the scene. She comes off as almost cold, which is a bold choice for them to make, but a brilliant one because already they’ve played up the bubbly young girl side of Minako. With regards to Chibs, they’re letting her be the compartmentalized leader. I love seeing that duality.

heytherehydrangea replied to your post: MAKO. OH MY GOD.She clearly has a rela…

my interpretation was that she started picking up on it during the dance and was trying to protect chibi by dancing with her and distract them by dancing solo then. because she’s a fucking boss. prepare your body for incoming kickass fight scene!!

Oh, yeah, I definitely think that too, especially since she sort of shuffles Chibiusa away partway through. I love it so much because we rarely get to see Makoto be the one to come up with a strategy like that, but it makes perfect sense here. 
This musical is a gift and I’m never getting over it.

MAKO. OH MY GOD.
She clearly has a relationship with the senpai this droid is impersonating. (And I’m shipping it, maybe one sided maybe not.) But they weren’t close enough for cute nicknames and Mako clearly doesn’t think they’ll get to that point because that’s what alerts her. 
My poor girl, figuring things out because she knows too well what to expect. 

I’ll definitely come back to this moment when I can be more coherent.
