This was the end of Sailor Moon. The final volume, frankly, gave me all I wanted and more. A confrontation with Sailor Galaxia, the truth behind the source of the Sailor Scout's power, a twist about the nature of the Sailor Scouts and the origin of their power / enemies, and entirely unnecessary time traveling characters.
I did not know what to expect, but it exceeded it. And Usagi's Christ-like willingness to offer herself up not only for her friends, but for her enemies had me tearing up as I'm reading it.
I included an early panel from the volume where Sailor Moon is confronted by two enemies who clearly are only doing the bidding of Sailor Galaxia to end the eternal conflict in the universe. So, Sailor Moon offers her own life it it will end the conflict.
No one expects a person to willingly sacrifice themselves for someone they love, let alone someone they hate. It was jarring for everyone. And yea, it was an emotional moment.
Now that I've read it all, I need to re-read it again. This time, though, I think I'll do a thorough re-read starting with Codename Sailor V first, followed by all of Sailor Moon. But, that's for another day.
This finale is worth experiencing yourself, so I definitely recommend checking out this older series.
