** Mimete technically suffered a FateWorseThanDeath in the anime, but the way she's defeated is ''very'' different (and she never bothers the heroines again). She turned herself into PureEnergy only to have Tellu literally pull the plug on her, trapping her forever in cyberspace. In the manga, she was killed the first time by Sailor Uranus and the second by Sailor Neptune.
** Tellu's own plants turned on her and killed her in the anime. In the manga, she was killed the first time by Sailor Pluto and the second by Sailor Neptune.
** Viluy, much like Tellu above, was killed by her own nano-machines turning on her. In the manga, she was killed the first time by Sailor Uranus and the second time by Sailor Neptune.
** Cyprine and Ptilol killed each other in the anime when they were tricked into firing their attacks at the other. In the manga, they were first killed by Super Sailor Moon and then by Sailor Neptune after their resurrection by Kaolinite.

** Due to the anime softening Diamond's character, he's ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice by Wiseman protecting Sailor Moon from a hit. In the manga, he was killed by Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask using ThePowerOfLove, making for an IronicDeath as he thought love was an object you could take by force. ''Crystal'' alters this to Diamond being killed by Death Phantom in a defiant LastStand, ironically protecting both Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask despite doing it purely for his own selfishness.

Added DiffLines:

* Sailor Pluto is an odd case. She dies the same way - death by stopping time, a major taboo. It's ''when'' that's different; in the manga and ''Crystal'', it's to stop Diamond from touching the present and future Silver Crystals together, but in the original anime, it's to save Neptune and Uranus from dying in a helicopter explosion.

* All of the Shitennou except Jadeite died at least once over the course of the show, mostly killed by Beryl for not obeying her or, in Nephrite's case, to show Mamoru she was serious about killing them if he didn't join the Dark Kingdom. Since DeathIsCheap in this version, they all came back to life soon enough. Then Princess Sailor Moon destroyed the whole world and they didn't come back to life after that.

again, we don't need to have random commentary in the main pages. also changed spellings to match character pages


Nobody seems to die in this franchise the same way twice or even killed by the same person. The first anime took it UpToEleven due to being InNameOnly and Toei clearly had reservations about the Sailor Guardians killing villains, [[FridgeLogic even though that's to be expected as part of their job]]. Note that since this is a {{magical girl}} show, most characters are killed by an energy blast/attack unless otherwise noted.

* Both Serenity and Endymion are killed by Metaria in the anime (in fact, it's basically all she does in that version). In the manga, Endymion was killed by Beryl impaling him with a sword, protecting Serenity by taking a blow meant for her. Serenity committed suicide in despair.

** In the manga, Beryl was killed by Venus stabbing her in the stomach with a sword and blood visibly coming from the wound and Metaria by Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask in BattleCouple-style. Since Metaria was barely a character in the anime, the writers decided to save themselves some time and have her fuse with Beryl to form Super Beryl who was killed by Usagi in the form of Princess Serenity with [[ThePowerOfFriendship some help from the Inners' ghosts]].

* Much the same thing happened to Sailors Pluto and Saturn; they were killed by having their crystals/seeds removed, but their killer varied by medium. In the manga, it was Galaxia, but in the anime it was ''[[AdaptationalJerkass Uranus and Neptune]]''. Guess we know which of the Outers the anime staff preferred.

* All of the Shitennou were killed by Metaria after having [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived their usefulness]], twice breaking through their [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashing]].
* Beryl was killed when Sailor Moon destroyed her necklace, disintegrating into dust. Both this change and the one above were likely to have been caused by limitations on what can be shown in anime getting even ''stricter'' since the first anime aired, meaning there was little to no chance of the manga's NightmareFuel and blood getting into ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal''. It's shocking Serenity killing herself was kept.

!! From manga to 90s anime

* Both Serenity and Endymion are killed by Metaria in the anime (in fact, it's basically all she does in that version). In the manga, Endymion was killed by Beryl impaling him with a sword, protecting Serenity by taking a blow meant for her. Serenity committed suicide in despair.
* The entire Dark Kingdom was hit by this in the anime.
** Admittedly Jadeite's debatable, being frozen/encased in ice/crystal by Beryl, but the story otherwise continues on as if he really had died, so it's probably easier to just say he did. In the manga, he was obviously and [[NightmareFuel fairly graphically killed onscreen]] by Sailor Mars using a fire attack in her debut chapter.
** Nephrite was killed by three of Zoisite's youma underlings who used various plant-associated attacks and thus by Zoisite indirectly. In the manga, he's killed by Sailor Jupiter using a lightning attack in her debut chapter.
** Zoisite was killed by Beryl blasting him. In the manga, he was literally ripped to shreds by Sailor Venus' attack in her debut chapter.[[note]]Though his corpse in his coffin shows no damage from her attack, appearing to be completely intact.[[/note]]
** Kunzite probably came the closest to dying the same way, but even then Toei had to fudge it so the heroines only killed him indirectly at best. In the manga, he was killed by a combined attack from Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. In the anime, the Inners powered up Sailor Moon who deflected his [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext purple boomerang]] back at him.
** In the manga, Beryl was killed by Venus stabbing her in the stomach with a sword and blood visibly coming from the wound and Metaria by Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask in BattleCouple-style. Since Metaria was barely a character in the anime, the writers decided to save themselves some time and have her fuse with Beryl to form Super Beryl who was killed by Usagi in the form of Princess Serenity with [[ThePowerOfFriendship some help from the Inners' ghosts]].
* The Black Moon Clan wasn't hit ''quite'' as hard.
** Rubeus was killed by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard his exploding ship]] in the anime (and died a lot sooner than he did in the manga). Wiseman killed him in the manga.
** Esmeraude's killed by, of all people, Tuxedo Mask in the manga, using Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber. In the anime, after Sailor Moon destroys her dragon form, she . . . just . . . kinda . . . [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext falls into a dark void/abyss]].
** Saphir's killed by Wiseman in the anime. In the manga, he was killed by his own brother, Diamond.
** Due to the anime softening Diamond's character, he's ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice by Wiseman protecting Sailor Moon from a hit. In the manga, he was killed by Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask using ThePowerOfLove, making for an IronicDeath as he thought love was an object you could take by force.
* Both of Kaolinite's deaths count. The first time Sailor Uranus used World Shaking to turn her crystal beam against her, encasing her in crystal and appeared to fall off of Tokyo Tower to her death. The second time she was killed by Mistress 9 using a lightning attack to send her back into an electric force field. In the manga, she was killed by Super Sailor Moon.
* All of the Witches 5.
** Eudial drove her car off a cliff because Mimet had cut her brakes and filled her car with [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes snails]]. In the manga, she was first killed by Sailor Moon and then, after Kaolinite resurrected her, by Sailor Neptune.
** Mimet technically suffered a FateWorseThanDeath in the anime, but the way she's defeated is ''very'' different (and she never bothers the heroines again). She turned herself into PureEnergy only to have Tellu literally pull the plug on her, trapping her forever in cyberspace. In the manga, she was killed the first time by Sailor Uranus and the second by Sailor Neptune.
** Tellu's own plants turned on her and killed her in the anime. In the manga, she was killed the first time by Sailor Pluto and the second by Sailor Neptune.
** Viluy, much like Tellu above, was killed by her own nano-machines turning on her. In the manga, she was killed the first time by Sailor Uranus and the second time by Sailor Neptune.
** Cyprine and Ptilol killed each other in the anime when they were tricked into firing their attacks at the other. In the manga, they were first killed by Super Sailor Moon and then by Sailor Neptune after their resurrection by Kaolinite.
* Iron Mouse and Aluminum Siren were killed by Galaxia in the anime when she removed their bracelets, the only thing keeping them alive. In the manga, Mouse was killed by Sailor Star Healer and Siren by Sailor Star Maker and Healer.
* Lead Crow was killed by being sucked into her own black hole after Tin Nyanko caused her to drop the container with it inside, unleashing it right in front of her. In the manga, she was killed by Eternal Sailor Moon.
* Kakyuu was killed by Sailor Chi [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice ramming her staff through]] [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath her]] [[NightmareFuel chest]] in the manga, but since she was AdaptedOut of the anime, Kakyuu was instead [[DroppedABridgeOnHim anticlimactically killed]] by Galaxia.
* Sailors Mercury and Jupiter are killed by [[HeroKiller Aluminum Siren]] in the final arc of the manga. Since Siren was a [[AdaptationPersonalityChange completely different character in the anime]], they were instead killed by Sailor Galaxia. In this case, the manner of death stayed the same: their Sailor Crystals/Star Seeds were removed.
* Much the same thing happened to Sailors Pluto and Saturn; they were killed by having their crystals/seeds removed, but their killer varied by medium. In the manga, it was Galaxia, but in the anime it was ''[[AdaptationalJerkass Uranus and Neptune]]''. Guess we know which of the Outers the anime staff preferred.

!! From manga to Crystal

* All of the Shitennou were killed by Metaria after having [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived their usefulness]], twice breaking through their [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashing]].
* Beryl was killed when Sailor Moon destroyed her necklace, disintegrating into dust. Both this change and the one above were likely to have been caused by limitations on what can be shown in anime getting even ''stricter'' since the first anime aired, meaning there was little to no chance of the manga's NightmareFuel and blood getting into ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal''. It's shocking Serenity killing herself was kept.
* Prince Diamond is killed by Wiseman like he was in the first anime, except it was at first set up to look like Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask would kill him like in the manga. Thus he doesn't die trying to protect Sailor Moon from Wiseman and no attempt is made to make him more sympathetic or say he "really" loved, not lusted, over Neo Queen Serenity.

!! From manga to live-action

* All of the Shitennou except Jadeite died at least once over the course of the show, mostly killed by Beryl for not obeying her or, in Nephrite's case, to show Mamoru she was serious about killing them if he didn't join the Dark Kingdom. Since DeathIsCheap in this version, they all came back to life soon enough. Then Princess Sailor Moon destroyed the whole world and they didn't come back to life after that.
