One aspect of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon that I really enjoy is Serenity being not only relentless, but destructive as well. Her emotions fuel her to an unhealthy degree, to the point that she will stop at nothing to get what she wants. . . especially when it comes to the safety of Endymion. She has destroyed worlds - her own kingdom - for him, and with her awakening in the 20th century comes a horde of grief and anger and destructive tendencies that Usagi often struggles to cope with. She almost has to force herself to be happy and accept the notion that her life will never truly be the same again.

As a teen, who has every right to a normal human experience, it’s difficult for Usagi to step into the position as not only a senshi, but a princess (and a future queen) as well. Serenity is not a separate entity inside of her, but rather a darker reserve of both her power and psyche, that Usagi is afraid to channel. She holds all the memories of a harrowed princess and a power inside of her that could devastate Earth. For the most part, Usagi keeps her head above the water despite life and the distress that comes with growing up - especially under such phenomenal circumstances . Her friends, family, Mamoru, and this world she loves so dearly makes it all the more easy for her to maintain a level-head, finding a clean balance between love and desperation when the going gets tough.

That is, until the events of the Galaxy Cauldron. While it’s certainly not the first time Usagi is forced to watch as her friends sacrifice themselves one at a time for her, it is the first time her hopeful resolve crumbles. She can feel the end of the world right down to her very bones, her youthful ideals of growing up and getting married and living a normal life shattered. Still, she’s forced to come to terms with the notion that her very existence will always be this cycle that she cannot seem to break, even moreso when she drags Chaos down into the Cauldron and Sailor Cosmos reveals herself. Usagi and the crystal that she carries inside of her are the embodiment of hope and she has this inescapable duty to the universe. And, although she wishes to return to her life as she was, the knowledge that she will most likely face Chaos again hangs heavy on her mind. She doesn’t mention Cosmos or the ever present threat that Chaos could return to her Senshi. Usagi wants them all to have a normal life, afterall. When they finally awaken, something changes in Usagi. Her powers become more difficult to contain; she’s stronger, more charged, and when a new threat presents itself to their world, Usagi is rash and negligent, to the point where she has no real recognition of what she’s doing.   She knows that something is coming - something that will bring forth the end of the world as they know it to make way for Crystal Tokyo, where she will take her place as Neo-Queen Serenity. What she doesn’t know is the evil that continues to terrorize the people that live on their planet is nothing compared to the destruction that she will bring.
