Day Six- Least favorite scene
I really dislike when the Inners try to take Galaxia’s star seed in Shin Densetsu Kourin. It seems out of character in a lot of ways. There’s a huge difference between how the Inner Senshi and Uranus/Neptune operate, and this scene ignores it. First of all, this is a huge risk, and I can’t see any Inner except maybe Minako taking it. If their plan had gone wrong, they could have ended up killing Usagi. Uranus and Neptune are very much about doing anything it takes, so it makes sense for them to risk their princess to save the universe. The Inners, though, would never do it, at least in my eyes.
Then, there’s the fact that they did all of it without telling Usagi anything. Rei and Minako, I can believe they’d do it if they thought it was the only way. But Makoto and Ami? Knowing that by not telling they’re going to hurt Usagi? No way. And then to have it be Ami’s idea? I think this is a big misinterpretation of her intelligence. Of course she’s smart, of course she could come up with this plan, but this scene ignores that she doesn’t operate on cold logic. Ami has always been a character who feels things, and the musicals usually portray that well (see all versions of the study abroad storyline). For her to have come up with a plan that was guaranteed to hurt Usagi’s feelings and could actually kill her if it went wrong, and actually carry it out throws that whole side of her away.
