Now that Creator/YukoMizutani has unfortunately passed away, Toei will have to figure out a way to recast Ikuko if she does have screen time for the two-part film for the fourth arc. Perhaps they could [[TheOriginalDarrin bring back her original VA]] Sanae Takagi for the role or [[TheOtherDarrin recast it with a different actress altogether]]. Despite how iconic characters like Saint Seiya, Toriko, Indiana Jones, Batman, Superman and Monkey D. Luffy are, there have been multiple actors to play them.

Looking back, there's not really enough acts in the final two arcs to cover one season, unless they split the acts up, so they'll make it one. As for the side stories, well, it'd be a nice treat at the end, considering a few of them are quite well known, quite a few are silly and by this point the viewers could use some silliness, and honestly, I'm just hoping for more on Parallel Sailor Moon.

The reason they weren't shown could be because the implied scope of damage is much greater than just those five planets the Animamates came from. We only ever get to properly see the senshi from about four non-Solar System planets (Kakyuu & Starlights, Lethe, Mnemosyne, and wherever Phi and Chi were from, assuming they used to be regular senshi), with the implication that they're the last surviving ones in the galaxy besides Sailor Moon and her team - and everyone but the Kinmoku ones are on Galaxia's side. This bring the question of just ''how many'' planets were raided by Galaxia. Remember how the musicals had extra Animamates? Those five killed senshi are completely insignificant compared to what was probably ''hundreds'' of others similarly killed by Galaxia or by their own people looking for her approval (which is what appears to be the story behind the Animamates). Of course, it could also be that Takeuchi just didn't have the time to come up with their designs...

Merchandising, yanno. (Maybe they'll even give them their own versions of the Lip Rods, who knows. As long as they can market it.)
* Yes, by that point in the manga, the only senshi who are still explicitly using transformation items are Moon and Chibimoon. However, the only scene where the new items could've been worked in without introducing more plotholes was the moment where Neo-Queen Serenity grants the team new powers (and Usagi actually gets a new brooch). And the Outer Senshi, in the manga, start at the same power level, so they'd have to follow the suit.

The internet streaming is merely a "preview" showing of sorts. In any event, why else would all the animation mistakes be present?
* It's actually a common practice in anime lately to use rough, "derpy", or incomplete animation that's then cleaned up for home release. [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Puella Magi Madoka Magica]] is a recent maho shoujo anime that did just that, with the backgrounds being changed three different times when it was released. The usual reasons for it is either budget constraints or scheduling issues where there just wasn't time enough. Some rumors also have said that Toei has been farming out episodes/parts of episodes out to other animations studios to save money. Not saying your theory is wrong, but there are reasons why there's so many animations mistakes.

Or at least the manga, original anime, the live action series and Crystal are set in the Marvel universe in some form. Why? Because the Holy Sword's inscription basically echoes Mjölnir which when you get down to it, the Moon Kingdom was probably among the realms before it officially became the Nine Realms as soon as it fell. Would anyone from Asgard even know about the Moon Princess still running amok?

While in the manga Mamoru doesn't transform "on-screen" until the final chapters of the third arc, ''Crystal'', for all we know, is going to end after the second, and the writers might just attempt to stuff interesting scenes/concepts from later chapters into the plot they're working with. The first anime made several attempts at showing Mamoru's transformation, but very few of them were as impressive (like the one in the "Sleeping Beauty" episode). Now, ''Crystal'' isn't above Mamoru {{Fanservice}}, if the ShirtlessScene in Act.6 is any indication, and the Black Moon arc happens to be the point where Tuxedo Mask gets some actual combat powers (assuming it keeps following the manga). So they might just go and show him transforming once, for the heck of it; after all, the Senshi do have standard transformation scenes in ''Crystal'', even if they're only shown in full once.
