That al-Qur’an birl out into a enfranchisement forPretty Guardian Sailor Moon .   In addition to the 18 intensity of manga produced , Sailor Mooncharacters also appeared in original poor stories , a Japanese gum anime serial , alive movies , lively musicals , live - action series , and video games .

It is n’t just the title character that causes people to fall in love with the franchise . Sure , Usagi Tsukino , bunglesome and prone to emotional ebullition , make everyone feel like they could be a hero too .   A compelling heroine is only a low part of the par , though . report also need stand - out put up characters and some genuinely interesting villains . Sailor Moonhas those in spades , especially where villains are concern . Every undivided arcof the wizard girl storyfeatures monsters of the week who are manage by a squad ofSailor Moonvillains , who are then manage by a leader , who is ultimately doing the workplace of an even freehanded badness .

These hierarchies of baddie produce fascinating layers of tale to flesh out character backstories and make many of the bad guys engage in shades of gray . The good of the best of theSailor Moonantagonists have been assembled with every majorSailor Moonvillain ranked from faint to most powerful .

Movies created that be outside of the story canyon , live musical theater , and theever - popular Sailor Moon cafesthroughout Japan establish that fans will always have an appetite for the hero ’s story . Her story would n’t be complete without these truly redoubtable villain , some of whom have seen themselves redo in Sailor Moon Crystal and the Sailor Moon Eternal picture . As long as fans keep responding to her story , there ’s a in force opportunity the audience could still see new versions of the rest of the major villain as well .

Doctor Tomoe

Doctor Tomoe leads off the ranking for one major grounds : he ’s not really the villain of his time in Sailor Moon ’s story . or else , a Daimon , the alien creatures that take up much of his story electric arc , take over his body . He   was , however ,   the go - between for the big political boss of his arc and the ogre of the week .

Souichi Tomoe was a well - respected scientist and father . Though he did n’t get a short ton of backstory in the original gum anime , the manga revealed that he completed some questionable experiment ( one of which killed his wife ) .   The scientific biotic community ostracized him . When he discovered the eggs that created devil , he thought he ’d found the perfect way to create strong humans .

He used the eggs to not only save his girl but to try out . Tomoe ended up create unexampled “ monstrosity ” in table service toanotherSailor Moonvillain . In the long run , Tomoe does n’t have any of his own king ; the infection make by a Daimon made him seem like he did .

Fiore and the Xenian Flower

Unlike most of the Sailor Moon opposer , Fiore did n’t appear in the manga first . Instead , he was create to be the primary   baddie for the movieSailor Moon R. His round as a scoundrel allow audience to learn more about the biography of Tuxedo Mask .   Fiore was really friends with Mamoru as a tiddler . He even lie with Mamoru before the death of the latter ’s parents , something not dependable of anyone else in theSailor Moonstories .

With a great affectionateness for plants , Fiore promised to return to visit Mamoru after he moved away as a shaver . He also promised to bring back the greatest blossom ever view when he did . The “ corking flower ” change by reversal out to be the Xenian Flower .   While Fiore appear to be the villain when he returns to Earth as he attempts to rid the world of Usagi , he is n’t really .    Instead , the Xenian Flower , which is a parasitic coinage , controls him and takes reward of his green-eyed monster of Usagi ’s family relationship with Mamoru .

All it took to defeat Fiore ’s controller though was for him to realize how much sexual love be between Usagi and Mamoru . Realizing that beloved triumphed over hatred was enough to stop the hold on him and decompose the Xenian Flower all in all .   That ’s one easy licking .

Vampir and Dracul

Sailor Moon typically spend her time face off against outlander , beings from other property , or threats from the hereafter . The alive musicals produced in Japan in the former 2000s occupy a different road . The Sailor Senshitook on vampire and demons .

Vampir was the girl of the famed Dracul . She wanted revenge against the Sailor Senshi because she believed the chemical group took her founding father ’s life . In reality , he was still alive and would become the primary villain of theSailor Moonmusical when Vampir commute sides .   Vampir , though , spent much of the musical in retaliation mode . She had all the abilities of a vampire thanks to her father , but because her female parent was human , she was n’t burdened with the pauperization for human blood . As a incentive , she had the nifty power to change vampires back into humanity if she so pick out .

Vampir – despite being fairly impregnable and a compelling character – doesn’t rank higher because she is n’t genuinely a villain . She ’s a young cleaning woman who misses her family . ( She hopes to apply Sailor Moon ’s Silver Crystal to institute her mother back to life . ) She is n’t able to defeat the Senshi on her own and initially allies with demons . When she discovers that her beginner lied to her and is the true scoundrel , she decide to form an alliance with the Sailor Senshi instead . as well , the hearing does n’t get to see much of what Dracul can truly do , so it ’s difficult to establish that he outrank some of the more iconic villains .

Bewitched Tuxedo Mask

There are time in the manga and the gum anime where Tuxedo Mask does n’t know who he is . Sometimes , that ’s a result of actual storage loss , and other times it ’s the consequence of him being bewitched .   When Mamoru suffers memory passing in the anime , he takes on a new heroic persona make love as the Moonlight Knight . When that memory departure is theresult of   Queen Beryl ’s manipulationthough , he works for theSailor Moonbad guys or else .

InSailor Moon Crystal , he took on the identity of one of the oldest friends of Motoki , the young man working at the colonnade .   That ’s harmless enough on the surface . It caused excited melodic line on Sailor Moon when Usagi realise what was going on , but it did n’t physically harm her .   When Queen Beryl revealed that she had complete control over Tuxedo Mask though , that was another thing only .

It did n’t just get a niggling emotional distress for Sailor Moon ; it also mean that she was nearly ready to fox in the towel and verify both she and Mamoru ended up destroyed so they could be “ free ” to be together .   Tuxedo Mask might not have had a lot of abilities to apply against Sailor Moon , but the emotional handling of her was enough to make this version of the character a major villain .

Ail And An

Ail and An , whose name were a play on the word “ exotic , ” were the only majorSailor Moonantagonists createdexclusively for the anime . The two were from a distant planet and the only survivors of their citizenry . The population decline as their Tree of Life became ill .   Ail and An believe that they needed the DOE of humans to feed their tree , which in play gave them DOE to sustain life on Earth .

Ail created especial monsters called Cardians from a deck of cards resemble tarot cards . They did n’t target the Sailor Senshi specifically until the women get in their way .   Because the two were simply seek to keep their way of life history live , it ’s easy to have sympathy for them . When they disclose that the tree diagram that chip in them life was “ nauseated ” because of the DOE they fed it , they attempt to change .

What the tree really needed was love life , something they were capable to do once they finish acting as the villains of the story . Though the English dub of the series made them connected to the Negaverse and Queen Beryl , the original Japanese anime did not . The original Japanese tarradiddle made it clear that the two were n’t intentionally evil .

Sailor Animamates

This special blade of Sailor Senshi appear in three different adaptation of Sailor Moon ’s narrative : the manga , the original anime , and the live musical theater . Rather than being named after their protective satellite , they were named for metals and beast . Their particular power level varies depending on the story .

The musical took inhalation from the anime – having the Sailor Animamates work for Sailor Galaxia , but at long last being ineffectual in their quests for Star Seeds .   In fact , in the Zanzibar copal , the mathematical group of Sailor Senshi rarely deliver the goods in the missions set to them by Galaxia . For the series , they were Sailor Senshi whose planet Galaxia had suppress . She forced them to help her flesh out her conglomerate .   The manga had a unlike , and darker , approach . The manga saw the Sailor Animamates prefer to work with Galaxia . Many of them stole their Star Seeds to gain their power .

The Sailor Animamates of the manga were ruthless . Aluminum Siren took out Sailors Venus and Jupiter . Sailor Tin Nyanko destroyed the Sailor Senshi companions Luna , Artemis , and Diana .   While those two might have been effective , Sailor Iron Mouse and Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon both failed in their quest , making the tycoon levels of the grouping uneven and landing them a lower ranking overall .

Amazon Trio

Though this trio of scoundrel only appear briefly in the manga , they incur novel living in the Zanzibar copal . Appearing in 22 episodes of theSuperSanime , they were actually the longest - running henchmen for the series !   Despite their longevity , theseSailor Moonbad guy   were n’t very effective , though that ’s likely a final result of them not to begin with being villains .

Hawk ’s Eye , Tiger ’s Eye , and Fish Eye were all originally the animals from which their epithet halt . A magic ball become them into homo with extra abilities . The triad fell in love with life as human .   During the “ Dream Arc , ” the trio searched for the Dream Mirror that contain the enemy of Queen Nehelenia – Pegasus . Fish Eye was really effectual in that he let on that Chibiusa hold it , but his superiors did n’t really hear to him , targeting Usagi instead .

Ultimately , the leash saved Usagi from a horrible fate when her Dream Mirror was stolen and destroy . They sacrificed the magic trick that made them human , funneling it to Usagi to restore her Dream Mirror . Appreciating their altruistic human action , Pegasus made them truly human .

Kaolinite

Kaolinite ( sometimes called Kaorinite to go with her civilian guise as Kaori ) was a servant of Pharaoh 90 . She ’s a Magus , which mean she should be more powerful than her foot soldier , but that ’s not necessarily the case .

Kaolinite had a quite a little of tricks up her sleeve . Not only did she have magical ability , but she could commune with her master through a magic outpouring .   She was also able-bodied to revive the Witches 5 afterthe Sailor Senshidefeated them . All of that make her speech sound pretty unvanquishable , but she ’s no match for Sailor Moon .

While face off against the Sailor Senshi , Kaolinite in reality acquire into her Daimon form . It ’s in the monstrous frame that she proceed up against Sailor Moon . Sailor Moon was n’t cowed by the villain though . Instead , the fighting actually allow Sailor Moon to level up to her own next form : Super Sailor Moon . Kaolinite was then easily defeated .

Pharaoh 90 and Mistress 9

Pharaoh 90 was theSailor Moonvillain of the " Infinity " arc . Mistress 9 was his fast better half . The electric discharge come in the manga , the original Zanzibar copal , andSailor Moon Crystal . Though the two were the scoundrel in the shadow , they did n’t get a ton of screen meter compared to some of the other villains in the same discharge .

It ’s Pharaoh 90 who gave Kaolinite her powers and influenced Doctor Tomoe ’s life for the worse . Pharaoh 90 , however , spend much of his clock time as a villain as something of an vague swarm with glowing eyes . He give so many hoi polloi more tycoon , but he did n’t exert his own . When he finally attempted to , Pharaoh 90 became more liquid - like , trying to wall the satellite and absorb its vigor , though it did n’t workwith Sailor Saturn awakened .

Mistress 9 and Pharaoh 90 are inevitably tied together as Mistress 9 was guess to be his 2nd - in - command . With her Daimon testis outlay so long incubating in Hotaru though ,   the audience did n’t actually see much of her in legal action . Most of her abilities are the same as that of Kaolinite , though she did appear to edge her out in the strength department . When Mistress 9 supervise to get the souls of the Sailor Senshi ,   it was Hotaru ’s pure finding that stopped her from winning .

Mio Kuroki

Not everySailor Moonfan will have hear of Mio Kuroki . That ’s because , for a long time , there was n’t entree to the live - activeness seriesPretty Guardian Sailor Moonoutside of Japan . The series still has n’t made its way all over the domain and it debut on Japanese television in 2003 .

The other Sailor Senshi saw through Mio ’s act as the young woman repeatedly made Usagi miserable . She pick everything on coincidence or accidents , but when she snatch Mamoru , Sailor Mars confront her .

ThisSailor Moonvillain had a portion of Queen Beryl ’s power , like being capable to enamor Mamoru , but she did n’t have all of it only because she was a " phantasma " of the literal female monarch .
