Even though dub only viewers definitely knew who Sailor V was DiC might have figured it didn’t add anything since it diverted focus from the Serena wants to restore Darien’s memories and make him good again plot. Then boom Mercury debuts at the end of the show’s first week.Įpisode 20 and 67 were expendable because they had nothing to do with the main plot and don’t feature the current villainsĪnd episode 42 takes a break from the ongoing Endymion arc to focus on Minako’s past as Sailor V so DiC probably decided to skip it. They skipped 3 Usagi solo episodes to get to the Scouts faster, which made sense as they were heavily featured in the DiC opening (compare the first Toei opening which is mostly Moon focused and only has a little Mercury and Mars) so they kept the episode where Serena gets the disguise pen, an episode they could use to promote healthy eating and fitness habits, and an episode to promote their Sailor Moon CD.
