sailormoonpedia: [CHARACTER] Nephrite. Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Kana: ネフライト
Romaji: Nefuraito Role: Villain
Type: Humanoid
Alignment/Organization: Dark Kingdom
Alias: Masato Sanjouin
First appearance: Episode 13
Last appearance: Episode 24
Status: Dead
Voice actor: Katsuji Mori TRIVIA He is named after the mineral nephrite. Like jadeite, it is a variety of jade. Sailor Jupiter killed Nephrite early on in the manga. His death was postponed until episode 24 of the anime, though. Yet in that continuity, he was killed by Zoisite’s youma rather than by a hero. In one of Naoko Takeuchi’s illustrations, Nephrite was romantically paired up with Sailor Jupiter. Takeuchi never had the chance to explore the idea of Princess Serenity’s four guardian Sailor Senshi being involved with the Shitennou in the manga. While the first anime and the live-action adaptation both excluded the Sailor Senshi/Shitennou couplings, they were included in Sailor Moon Crystal. In what was likely an unrelated moment, an image of the planet Jupiter appeared when Nephrite created his Black Crystal in episode 23. Nephrite was the first villain in the anime to be redeemed. Nephrite and Zoisite were the only two members of the Shitennou to have signature attacks with vocal calls. In episode 23, Nephrite used a technique called Starlight Attack. Unlike his peers, Nephrite adopted a human alias and persona that lasted for more than one episode. He went by the name of Masato Sanjouin (三条院正人). Broken down, the characters in his names respectively translate to: “San” (三; three), “jou” (条; article), “in” (院; institution), “Masa” (正; real), and “to” (人; person). Nephrite bled green blood in episode 24. After Sailor Venus injured Zoisite and Kunzite’s hands in episode 33, those two were shown to have red blood. As he crossed paths with Mamoru in episode 18 at the museum, Nephrite had a déjà vu moment where he mistook Chiba for someone else. This could have been a reference to the manga subplot where the Shitennou were once Prince Endymion’s friends and protectors in the past. The concept was otherwise never brought up in the anime. Masato drove a Ferrari Testarossa 512 TR. In episode 44, Nephrite appeared along with the rest of the Shitennou in a flashback. However, he did not speak.

[EPISODE] 22. Romance Under the Moon! Usagi’s First Kiss.

Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

Kana: 月下のロマンス! うさぎの初キッス Romaji: Gekka no Romansu! Usagi no Hatsu Kissu

Original Air Date: August 15, 1992

Director: Yuji Endo Writer: Sukehiro Tomita Animation Director: Kiyoshi Matsumoto

Plot: In search of the Moon Princess and the Silver Crystal, the Sailor Senshi, Tuxedo Mask, and Nephrite all infiltrate the Diamond Kingdom’s reception.

TRIVIA

This episode was closely based on the fourth chapter of the manga.

Ivanovich Kingdom is a fictional place. The patronymic “Ivanovich” or “Ivanović” means “son of Ivan” in Russian. An English variant of the name “Ivan” is “John.”

Usagi would accidentally become inebriated again in episode 108.

FIRSTS

Kunzite was introduced.

Mamoru’s apartment was first shown here.

OTHER VERSIONS

DiC’s English dub (titled “Worth a Princess’s Ransom”): The editors completely altered the scene where Usagi/Serena fell over the balcony. Instead of falling below with Mamoru/Darien in tow, Serena was lifted back up. The footage of her slipping was actually reversed, and the part where Usagi/Serena went looking for a place to wash the spill on her dress was used to resolve the scene. Yet once on the ground, Serena was suddenly holding the umbrella that she arrived with. In the original version, Luna tossed the umbrella to Usagi as she and Mamoru fell.
