Yeah.. I hate that Mio-Chan. Why did she return? I thought Materia/Mamoru killed her in episode 48... Also are the Shittenou alive, or are they "ghosts"? Another question, I thought Jadeite had chosen to be by Beryl's side when the spell was removed from him... why is he with the other 3 Shittenou? It also would have been nice if Nephryte remained being a human... would have liked to see a relationship between Mercury and him... Overall, it was a great series.
I think this is because... I suppose I should warn for SPOILERS although I think it can be assumed at this point in the thread ^_^.
When the world was destroyed and Usagi used the crystal to revive everything, everyone was transmigrated and therefore, I think, the Shintennou were reborn as there old selves. One thing I noticed about the series seemed to revolve around the idea of ghosts from the past wandering until they do want they need to die at peace:
Princess Serenity: Absolutely obsessed over getting Endymion no matter what. When the past life is finally over, she reveals her only smile as she fades away.
Queen Beryl: Similar to above, but instead finds happiness with Jadeite. Again, smiles before she dies.
Kunzite: Felt betrayed by Endymion abandoning the planet to be with the Princess. In the end, he died happy knowing that Endymion was going to take his own life to save the planet.
Aino Minako/Sailor Venus: Not sure the reason behind her angst (Act Zero maybe?) but she was definately consumed by the past life and would do almost anything to prevent it. Died happy that she overcame it and was able to be herself.
I'm sure there are other examples, but these are the most prominent and first that come to mind.
Great series and the one that introduced me to Sailor Moon. I'd recommend it to anyone who asked!
