And to make my birthday even cooler, I share it with the best manga author in the world, Naoko Takeuchi, creator of "Sailor Moon"! So for the next 15 days, I will be sharing my favorite episodes of "Sailor Moon" with you, to celebrate my 26th Birthday and Naoko's 47th!

To start it off, I will present the 1st of my favorites:
Episode 33 (Season 1/Classic) "The Last Sailor Warrior, Sailor Venus Appears" (Dub: "Sailor V Makes the Scene")

The episode opens with the evil Queen Beryl who is growing tired of the Sailor senshi always spoiling their plans. She consults Zoicite who informs her that he and Kunzite have a plan to defeat Sailor Moon and trap the other 3 senshi.

The same day, Luna hears a news report that Sailor Moon stopped a bank robbery. Thinking that it was odd for Usagi to do so, she decides to investigate.

Usagi and Makoto have met to get a bite to eat. When some window cleaners mysteriously have had their ropes cut, in comes a copy of Sailor Moon.

Mamoru can tell that she's a fake Sailor Moon, so he runs after her. Meanwhile, Usagi cries not wanting to be replaced.

Usagi and Makoto meet up with Rei, Ami, and Luna to track down the phony Sailor Moon. They find the fake captured and tied up, hanging from a construction site. The senshi transform and approach her, but they are trapped in a forcefield by Kunzite.

Tuxedo Mask comes to rescue Sailor Moon, but is stabbed in the back with a crystal blade by the fake Sailor Moon who reveals themself to be Zoicite. Tuxedo Mask and Zoicite begin to fight.

While they are fighting, Kunzite begins to attack Sailor Moon and the senshi. Tuxedo Mask is nearly defeated in a warehouse, but is rescued by a mysterious girl. She uses the attack "crescent beam" on Zoicite which allows Tuxedo Mask to escape.

When the senshi think that all hope is lost, they too are rescued by the mysterious girl. She uses "crescent beam on Kunzite and frees Sailor Moon and the senshi.

A white cat named Artemis introduces her as the 5th soldier, Sailor Venus! She is best known as Sailor V, the famous super heroine.

The episode concludes with the 5 girls, Luna and Artemis standing on a dock and getting to know Sailor V. They ask her if she is the Moon Princess they are looking for. In the end, she doesn't know if she is the princess or not.

This episode is in my favorites because it is about one of my favorite senshi, Sailor Venus. I also like how her introduction is different from everyone else's. She comes in already knowing her powers and her mission. This is one of the main reasons she is the leader of the senshi in the manga.

Here is a cute video of Sailor Venus in the musical!
