Sailor Moon S

Japanese Opening 1

First Appearance: Episode 90

Unlike the previous seasons' openings, the opening credits in Sailor Moon S all feature similar animations but get updated to correspond to story-line developments such as the introduction of new characters or editorial decisions.

Something that only keen-eyed Moonies will notice is that in this first variant of the Sailor Moon S opening credits, the Inners are using brand new attacks that were introduced in the S arc of the Sailor Moon manga as well as the corresponding Sailor Moon S Musical.

Fans will notice though that in the second Sailor Moon S opening credits, these attacks are covered up by Sailor Uranus' and Sailor Neptune's attacks and that while there were several character specific episodes where the Inners could have received these new attacks... they never did and instead retained their attacks from Sailor Moon R.

It appears that Sailor Mars' Mars Snake Fire, Sailor Jupiter's Coconut Cyclone, Sailor Venus' Wink Chain Sword and Sailor Mercury's Mercury Aqua Mirage were simply never to be in Sailor Moon S. Whether this was due to all the new animations needed for all the new characters' new transformations and attacks is unknown, though highly likely.

Note, that Sailor Mercury's Mercury Aqua Mirage would later be animated in the SuperS special, Amy's First Love with a very different look.
