There's an understated moment in episode 18 that doubles as a Heartwarming Moment.In episode 14, there is Naru going Plucky Girl and refusing to back down when she confronts her close friend Rui over how her sudden shift in behavior has caused her to act nasty and aggressive, even when Rui is threatening her.Instead she gets out of her father's hold and releases a bunch of energy to beat the ghost-thing. Her father and her are just waiting to be killed by it but by that minute you think, Tuxedo Mask should appear right? Wrong. She does it and the ghost goes out of control and starts wreaking havoc. One moment wasn't even for a Sailor Senshi: So a little girl named Sakiko has psychic powers and can take a form as a ghost.This also presents the first Awesome Music in the series: " Tsuki ni kawatte oshioki yo" The three active Senshi at the time combining their three main attacks into one to defeat Castor and Pollux.It was one of those moments that made Usagi look just like the badass Action Heroine she was always meant to be. And right before that, she dodged Cameran's attacks, ran up to it, and gave it a flying kick to the face.Bonus points that despite needing a hint from Luna, she manages to figure out Cameran's weakness by herself. Sailor Moon tricking Cameran into shooting itself using a mirror and split-second timing.How the Senshi turned the tables against him: they ran him over with one of the planes for making sexist comments about them (in the original English dub from DiC note In Viz's 2014 dub, which is closer to the Japanese version, he still makes sexist comments., it was his gloating over how weak they are, without the references to being sexist).There's a reason Sailor Moon didn't truly fear another enemy until Galaxia. He dominates most of the fight, and even in defeat he knew the Sailor Senshi's identities and would have had them dead to rights had Beryl not sealed him for retreating in the face of defeat before he could tell her. And when they come to the fight he has rigged the field by brainwashing all the cops into Mooks, preparing airplanes to run the Sailor Senshi over with, and, most devastatingly, lying in ambush to see them transform. What does he do? He appears to the whole city and challenges them to a Duel to the Death on pain of him destroying Tokyo if they don't show up at the airport. After the debacle from the previous episode, Jadeite received an ultimatum from Beryl: kill the Sailor Senshi or pay the consequences.Rei slices one of Thetis' water constructs in half with a folding chair, before transforming in Episode 12.From the Nightmare in Dreamland episode (the dubbed version), Rei gets a really good line that shows just how bad things have gotten.She's spent most of the episode crying and whining that she doesn't want to fight, and when cornered by Kigaan with Luna ordering her to transform, declares "I don't wanna live like this anymore! But I'll do it!" In the dub, this is changed to "Just let me have one last good sob! Okay, I'm ready!" Usagi gets one just before the battle.Even before that, however, she already knows something's up with Jadeite, even without proof, solely because she has a 'bad feeling' that turns out to be completely correct. In Sailor Mars' debut episode, she destroyed Kigaan just a few seconds after transforming for the first time.

The look on her face just before she transforms is a CMOA all by itself.Ami's first transformation into Sailor Mercury becomes one when contrasted with Usagi's first transformation into Sailor Moon: she takes the pen, discards her fear of Garoben- who wants to cut out her brain- transforms, and unleashes her Shabon Spray all without questioning anything until after the fight is over.Sailor Moon and Luna foiling Jadeite and Kyurene's plot in the sixth episode, first with Luna destroying their energy sucking device during a hostage situation, and then Sailor Moon turning Kyurene's sound attack against it using a sound system, amplifying the attack back on it.

Then she uses her Tiara to destroy the devices controlling them. Moon kicks one in the face and punches another in the gut. Later, he brainwashes three huge body builders to attack Sailor Moon.
