Characters: Sailor Moon Villains
|
This page covers the villains of Sailor Moon.
open/close all folders In General - Theme Naming: Almost every Villain worth mentioning before the final arc is named after a gemstone.
Dark Kingdom Queen MetariaVoiced by: Noriko Uehara (JP), Maria Vacratsis (EN)
Queen BerylVoiced by: Keiko Han (JP), Naz Edwards (EN), Belinda Martinez (LatAm), Fernanda Figueiredo (PT)
- Absolute Cleavage
- And Now You Must Marry Me
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: In the anime, when fused with Metaria.
- Dark Skinned Redhead
- Disc One Final Boss: The manga version, which got killed off rather by Sailor Venus before the true final confrontation with Metaria.
- The Dragon: To Metaria.
- Evil Redhead: Especially as her uncorrupted form had black hair.
- Fiery Redhead
- God Save Us from the Queen!
- Green-Eyed Monster and Love Makes You Evil: In the manga, she once was a normal witch from Earth, but her love for Endymion boosted her jealousy towards Serenity and made her easy prey for Metaria. While this is also in the anime, the first part about being a normal witch wasn't used.
- Hot Witch: What she used to be, in the manga.
- Ignored Epiphany: In the manga, where she was explicitly stated to be a "normal" woman before being corrupted by Metaria and briefly wonders how she managed to fall so far, before deciding that it is too late to turn back.
- One-Winged Angel: Her most powerful form in the anime, after Metaria merges with her.
- Spikes of Villainy
- The Starscream: In the manga she hoped to keep the Silver Crystal for herself, and in the live action series planned to use it to control Meteria.
- Theme Naming: after the mineral beryl.
- Vain Sorceress
- Wicked Witch
- Yandere
- You Have Failed Me: To her subordinates. One of the most classic examples of this trope. Averted in PGSM.
The Four Heavenly Kings (Shitennou): Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite and Kunzite
- All There in the Manual: Their past lives as possible lovers to the Sailor Senshi was never mentioned in the anime but was in tie-in materials such as the Friends and Foes book. In the manga, we only get to see Kunzite making some teasing remarks about Princess Serenity to Sailor Venus, who blushes when she hears him. Also, the "Sailor V" manga confirms there was a relationship between the two, much to the dissapointment of would-be-Big Bad Adonis. And Jadeite in the manga lusts after Rei when he sees her in the present.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: In the manga and the live-action adaptation. In the anime they aren't even human, technically.
- Dead Person Conversation and Spirit Advisor: In the manga only, after their deaths their spirits appear before Mamoru, whose generals and bodyguards they were in their Silver Millenium incarnations, to cheer him up and offer advice.
- Death by Adaptation: A strange case of it. They die in the manga and anime, but as mentioned above, their spirits remain present after death in the manga. Not so in the anime, where the removal of their backstory and connection to Mamoru renders it impossible.
- Four is Death: Although in the anime the four of them never appear together. Except for their cameo in the Silver Millenium flashback.
JadeiteVoiced by: Masaya Onosaka (JP), Tony Daniels (EN), Rene Garcia (LatAm), António Semedo (PT)
Nephrite Voiced by: Katsuji Mori (JP), Kevin Lund (EN), Mario Castaneda (LatAm), António Semedo (PT) ZoisiteVoiced by: Keiichi Nanba (JP), Kirsten Bishop (EN), Magda Giner (LatAm), Rogério Jacques (PT)
- Bishōnen: So much so, it was very easy to change his gender.
- Blond Guys are Evil: Played straight in the Japanese version; inverted in the English dub (Zoisite is evil, but he's become a woman)
- Cherry Blossoms: Always appears surrounded by LOTS of petals. On the second part of the episode where Usagi is revealed to be The Moon Princess, Zoisite even wanted cherry blossom petals to carry his spirit off when he died
- Dark Chick: In the English dub
- Dirty Coward: He (or "She" if you've seen the English dub) never fights fair.
- Jerkass: Has one humanizing trait in the anime and that's his/her love for Kunzite, and even that can get out of hand, as seen below.
- Love Makes You Evil: While he wasn't a huge saint already, some of his worst actions either were to please his lover/mentor Kunzite or because he was jealous of someone else who had taken Kunzite's attention away from him.
- Manipulative Bastard: Hated Nephrite, and eventually succeeded in getting him killed off.
- Minion Shipping: With Kunzite, in the anime.
- Petal Power: Currently provides the page picture.
- Sissy Villain: Japanese version only
- She's a Man in Japan: Might or might not be the Trope Namer.
- Smug Snake: Even worse than Jadeite; for all his boasts, he's the one Shitennou who runs away more than standing and fighting.
- Theme Naming: After the mineral zoisite.
- Villainous Crossdresser
- White-Haired Pretty Boy: In the live action only. He's blonde elsewhere.
- Yaoi Guys: With Kunzite, in the anime.
KunziteVoiced by: Kazuyuki Sogabe (JP), Dennis Akayama (EN), Guillermo Saucedo (LatAm), António Semedo (PT)
- Amnesiac Dissonance: In PGSM, Kunzite became shy, likable amnesiac Shin as punishment for being The Starscream.
- Bishōnen
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Becomes even moreso than he was initially in the manga when he attempts to betray Beryl and she puts him under total mind control as punishment.
- Character Focus: He's the only Shitennou in the original manga to have any sort of development and prolonged exposure.
- Crosscast Role: The musicals again.
- Dark Skinned White-Haired Pretty Boy. In anime and manga but not in the live action, where his hair is black.
- Dub Name Change: To "Malachite". This one is justified, as there was apparently legal issues with using "Kunzite".
- Hyper Competent Sidekick: In the anime, he's much smarter than Queen Beryl, with only a few of his plans being dumb (when he's saddled with a brainwashed Mamoru), and he's arguably more powerful given that he could take all on five Sailor Senshi on his own, and win, while Beryl is just beaten by one of Mamoru's pointed flowers.
- Hoist by His Own Petard
- Minion Shipping: With Zoisite, in the anime.
- Real Men Throw Pink Energy Boomerangs
- Reliable Traitor: In the live action version.
- Theme Naming: After the mineral gemstone kunzite.
- Villainous Valour: In the anime. When fighting against Sailor Moon and the Silver Crystal, he is given a chance to be redeemed. He rejects it emphatically and attacks as strongly as he can, despite being blatantly outclassed. He then ends up being literatelly the only non-Big Bad villain to be killed by a member of the Sailor Senshi.
- Yaoi Guys: With Zoisite, in the original anime, in which Zoisite is actually a very pretty man, rather than a woman with a flat chest.
Youma Makaiju Aliens - Brother-Sister Incest: In the "we're siblings and like Adam and Eve" sense. Even in their human disguises, they were clingy towards each other, as a squicked Makoto points out once when "Natsumi" whines at her for flirting with "Seijuuro" and then at him for "playing along" ("Whoa. Such weird siblings!")
- Filler Villain: The only major example in the anime. Later they just stretched manga arcs by filling them with plot-irrelevant Monster of the Week fights.
The Makaiju
En aka Natsumi GingaVoiced by: Yumi Touma (JP), Sabrina Grdevich (EN) Carola Vázquez(LatAm), Isabel Wolmar (PT)
Ail aka Seijuuro GingaVoiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa (JP), Vince Corazza (EN), Guillermo Saucedo (LatAm), António Semedo (PT)
Cardians Black Moon Clan Wiseman/Death PhantomVoiced by: Eiji Maruyama (JP), Tony Daniels (EN), Paco Mauri and Jose Luis Castañeda (LatAm), Rogério Jacques (PT)
Prince DemandVoiced by: Kaneto Shiozawa (JP), Robert Bockstael (EN), Benjamin Rivera (LatAm), António Semedo (PT)
- A Glass of Chianti
- Bishōnen
- Crosscast Role: Musicals only. He's played by the very female Hikari Ono.
- The Dragon: Though he's led to believe he's the Big Bad by Wiseman.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He was a massive jerk and leads the Black Moon clan, but he truly cares for Saphir and is devastated when he's killed by Wiseman. And in the anime, he seems to show some degree of sadness after Esmeraude's death
- Evil Eye and Hypnotic Eye: In the anime, he can open a hypnotic third eye in his forehead, and even shoots a magic beam from it once. In the manga, he has an Evil Eye too (it's even called such), but this version is used almost exclusively to shoot magic death beams.
- The Evil Prince: The more psychotic manga version.
- Forceful Kiss: On Sailor Moon, in the manga. He tries it in the anime too, but Tuxedo Mask stops him in time.
- Go-Go Enslavement: Dolls up Moon in a pretty skimpy gown when he kidnaps her.
- I Have You Now, My Pretty: To Sailor Moon. In the anime, he makes up for this by Taking the Bullet for her later.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Anime and Musical versions. Even though he essentially tried to rape Sailor Moon and abuses his own brother, he still wanted to ultimately do what was right. He redeems himself in the anime by sacrificing himself to save Sailor Moon's life and in the Musicals he actually gets reborn as a Earthling!
- Man in White
- Man of Wealth and Taste
- Omnicidal Maniac: In the manga, he goes batshit insane after being forced to kill Saphir, who was under Wiseman's mind control, and tries to erase all of the space/time by causing a Temporal Paradox.
- Pietà Plagiarism: In the anime, he carries Saphir's lifeless body in his arms.
- Purple Eyes
- Redemption Equals Death: In the anime.
- Stalker with a Crush
- Theme Naming: After the gemstone diamond.
- Tragic Villain: In the manga. There's no redemption for him, as Wiseman corrupts him beyond all hope, but his case is still presented as a sad one nevertheless.
- White-Haired Pretty Boy
- White Prince: To his people anyways...
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: The anime version. His original goal, before being corrupted by Wiseman and his lust for Neo-Queen Serenity, was to conquer the Earth so that the people of Planet Nemesis could live better lives there.
- Yandere: For Sailor Moon, so very much.
Blue Saphir Voiced by: Tsutomu Kashiwakura (JP), Lyon Smith (EN), Emmanuel Rivas (LatAm), Rogério Jacques (PT)
- Anti-Villain: Mainly in the anime, but to an extent in the manga as well (he tries to kill Sailor Moon, but does so because he sincerely believes she and her Silver Crystal are the source of all problems.)
- Bishōnen
- Blue Eyes
- Brainwashed and Crazy: In the manga, which leads to his death.
- Crosscast Role: Musicals again.
- Died in Your Arms Tonight: In the anime, he's held by both Moon and Tuxedo Mask as he perishes.
- Evil Genius: In the manga. Only hinted in the anime, where we know he creates the Dark Crystals that Esmeraude plants around but we don't see him making them.
- Green-Eyed Monster: In the anime he admits to Esmeraude that he's jealous of Sailor Moon due to how obsessed Dirmando is with her, but doesn't reach Crazy Jealous Guy extremes.
- Identical Stranger: To Mamoru.
- Love Hurts: In the anime, it's hinted that he's the reason why Petz Does Not Like Men. They sort-of reconcile... right before he dies. And this is not counting his conflicted thoughts on Demand, either, whatever their nature is.
- Redemption Equals Death: In the anime.
- Tall, Dark and Snarky
- Theme Naming: After the gemstone sapphire.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: With Esmeraude in the anime.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Though it's more black with a slightly blueish tint.
Green EsmeraudeVoiced by: Mami Koyama (JP), Kirsten Bishop (EN), Vicky Burgoa (LatAm), Isabel Wolmar (PT)
Crimson RubeusVoiced by: Wataru Takagi (JP), Robert Tinkler (EN), Rene Garcia (LatAm), António Semedo (PT)
- Bad Boss: Was planning on sacrificing the Four Sisters from the very beginning so that he could get all the glory of capturing Chibiusa himself.
- Bastard Boyfriend: While he wasn't exactly Kooan's boyfriend, he shows MANY of the signs of the trope towards her.
- Evil Redheads
- Killed to Uphold the Masquerade: By Wiseman in the manga.
- Smug Snake: Specially in the anime.
- Theme Naming: After the gemstone ruby.
- You Have Failed Me: To an already mentally-unstable Kooan, in the anime. He handed her an explosive MacGuffin, telling her to kill herself and the Senshi with it as a proof of her love for him. The Senshi destroy it, Kooan has a heartbreaking Villainous Breakdown and attacks them in a blind rage, but Mars stops her and makes her come back to her senses. Moon then purifies Kooan and gives her a normal life.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: To Petz, in the anime. He turned her into even more of a Psycho Electro than she already was, then revealed this in the middle of a battle that she and Calaveras were losing, and used the MacGuffin that was controlling Petz to create a black hole. But the girls survived and won, and Moon again purified the sisters. And later, Esmeraude leaves him to die in his spaceship because he's not useful to Prince Demand anymore, in an Ironic Echo of what he did to the girls.
The Four Weird Sisters aka the Ayakashi Sisters (Petz, Calaveras, Berthier and Koan)Voiced by: Petz: Megumi Ogata (JP), Norma Dell'Agnese (EN), Alejandra de la Rosa (LatAm), Cristina Paiva (PT). Calaveras: Akiko Hiramatsu (JP), Jennifer Griffiths (EN), Belinda Martinez (LatAm). Berthier: Yuri Amano (JP), Kathleen Laskey (EN), Cristina Camargo (LatAm), Cristina Cavalinhos (PT). Koan: Wakana Yamazaki (JP), Alice Poon and Mary Long (EN), Angela Villanueva (LatAm). Isabel Wolmar (Calaveras and Koan, PT)
- Affably Evil: Berthier.
- Ascended Extras: In the anime.
- Crosscast Role: Petz in the second Black Lady musical. Only time a male actor played a female character.
- Driven to Suicide: Koan is ordered to kill herself by Rubeus, and Berthier tries to kill herself during a battle with Sailor Mercury. Also, Petz attempts a Redemption Equals Death in order to stop the mess she'd created, but her sisters forgive her already and prevent this.
- Does Not Like Men: Petz in the anime, after Saphir left her. This changes when she reconciles with him. Right before the dude kicks it.
- Four Girl Ensemble
- Four is Death: Manga only.
- Her Heart Will Go On: Anime only. As soon as Saphir and Petz get back together, he's brutally killed off.
- Love Makes You Evil: In the anime, Koan is in love with Smug Snake Rubeus and seeks for his approval. He only cares about using her for his plans.
- Love Martyr: Poor Koan, to Rubeus.
- Love Redeems: Also in the anime. After Koan had her Heel Face Turn, she helped Berthier have hers, and then Cadaberas and finally Petz came to the other side.
- Quirky Miniboss Squad
- Psycho Electro: Petz.
- The Psycho Rangers: Are basically the Black Moon counterparts to the Inner Senshi. This extends down to their attacks. Koan used "Dark Fire" Berthier attacks with Dark water, Petz uses Dark Thunder and Calaveras uses Dark Love whip.
- Spared by the Adaptation: They all get killed off in the manga, while Moon purifies them in the anime.
- Spell My Name with an S: Cooan or Kooan? Beruche or Berthier? Calaveras is an exception: she's named after a gemstone named after Calaveras County California.
- Vain Sorceress: The four of them.
- Villainous Breakdown: Each of the girls has one before their Heel Face Turns, but none are more depressing than Koan's, who attempts suicide with a time bomb [which is thrown out of her hands by the Sailor Senshi], then attacks all the Sailor Senshi in a blind, screaming rage until Sailor Mars protects her from getting kneed in the stomach by Sailor Jupiter and Berthier's, who gives a speech on how she knew Petz and Calavaras would abandon her in her time of need and thinks the idea of being left high and dry is funny, then snaps and uses her powers to freeze herself and everyone around her.
- Whip It Good: Calaveras, as the Evil Counterpart of Sailor Venus.
- White-Haired Pretty Girl: Berthier.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Koan and Berthier have actual blue hair, and Petz has green hair.
Black LadyVoiced by: Kae Araki (JP), Liz Brown (EN), Cristina Hernandez (LatAm), Fernanda Figueiredo (PT)
Droids Death Busters Pharaoh 90
Mistress 9Voiced by: Yuko Minaguchi (JP), Susan Aceron (EN), Cristina Camargo (LatAm), Isabel Wolmar (PT)
Professor Souichi Tomoe/GermatoidVoiced by: Akira Kamiya (JP), Jeff Lumby (EN), Carlos del Campo (LatAm), António Semedo (PT)
- Affably Evil: Anime version. Out of all the bad guys in charge of a sub-group of minions, Tomoe is arguably the nicest one. He's seen engaging in small talk with the Witches 5, and simply admits that he's very disappointed whenever one repeatedly fails instead of threatening to have them punished or killed. He even played Twister with them and gave Mimete a pep talk when she was depressed!
- A God Am I: In the manga.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: In the anime. Very efficient Mad Scientist. Very quirky when off-duty.
- Demonic Possession: The anime version.
- Disc One Final Boss
- Evil Laugh: In the anime, he has a truly awesome one.
- For Science!: In the manga.
- Hot Shoujo Dad: When not doing his Death Buster duties. He remains hot as he's debrainwashed in the anime.
- Large Ham: The biggest Ham in Sailor Moon. Exhibit A
 . - Love Makes You Evil: In the anime, he was a Hot Dad with a dash of The Professor who cared more genuinely for Hotaru than in the manga, but was driven towards the Despair Event Horizon in the freaky lab incident that obliterated his wife and assistants and severely injured both him and Hotaru. He only agreed to serve Pharaoh 90 when offered a Deal with the Devil that would save the dying little girl, not knowing that it would get worse.
- Mad Scientist
- One-Winged Angel: In both the anime and the manga.
- Playing Against Type: Akira Kamiya was the dude to go for Hot Blooded heroes until at leat the mid 90's. Here he plays a Mad Scientist villain.
- Redemption Equals Life and then Put on a Bus: Anime.
- Scary Shiny Glasses: In the anime, that's one of the two features of his face we can usually see through shadows, constantly hiding it. The second is Slasher Smile.
- Schrödinger's Cast: He's affable, funny, and sympathetic in the anime, but was a Complete Monster in the manga.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Again, anime.
- Transhuman Treachery: Though in the anime he didn't have a choice.
- Villains Out Shopping: He's often seen enjoying tea. In one episode, he DID go shopping.
- White-Haired Pretty Boy
Kaori Naitou/KaoliniteVoiced by: Noriko Uemara (JP), Kristen Bishop (EN), Liza Willert (LatAm), Isabel Wolmar (PT)
- Absolute Cleavage: And how!
- Abusive Parents: In the anime, she's very emotionally abusive to her charge Hotaru. Curiously, that's not in the manga at all, and Hotaru's father (who loves her in the anime) is the more evil and abusive one.
- Back from the Dead
- Evil Redheads
- Fiery Redhead
- Hey, It's That Voice!: Kristen Bishop, who voiced Kaolinite in the English dub, also voiced Zoycite and Esmeraude/Emerald in previous seasons. She also voices Telulu, one of the Witches Five.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Sailor Uranus deflects Kaolinite's attack, sending it flying right back at her.
- Kick the Dog: She kills Hotaru's fish and snarks at her when she writes a letter to a former Ill Boy that she idolizes.
- Kill It With Ice: Her first death.
- Lady in Red
- Love Makes You Evil: She's in love with Professor Tomoe in both the manga and the anime.
- Only Mostly Dead: Until she is revived by Tomoe.
- Prehensile Hair: Before her first death, Kaolinite used her hair to attack quite frequently.
- Sacred Hospitality: When Usagi and Chibi-Usa come to visit Hotaru, she cannot attack them.
- Schrödinger's Cast: Her role in the manga is largely different than her role in the anime. In the manga, Kaorinite is the leader of the Witches Five, and she also uses a mystical well.
- Spell My Name with an S: Is it Kaori, Kaorinite, Kaori Nite, Kaori, Kaoli Night, or Kaori Night?
- Theme Naming: Yep. the mineral kaolinite.
- Unholy Matrimony: To a degree, with Tomoe. More blatant in the anime, where it's specifically mentioned that he somehow resurrected her after the Senshi killed her, and then there's a scene where she masssages his shoulders as Tomoe confides his upcoming plans on her.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Is given this in the anime, courtesy of the recently-awakened Mistress Nine. Might have been a revenge for her abuse of her host, Hotaru.
- Wicked Stepmother: More or less is this to Hotaru in the anime, she is actually nice to her in the manga, though.
The Witches 5 (Yuuko Arimura/Eudial, Mimi Hanyuu/Mimete, Ruru Teruno/Tellu, Yui Bidou/Viluy, Cyprine and Ptilol)Voiced by: Eudial: Maria Kawamura (JP), Loretta Jafelice (EN), Nancy Mackenzie (LatAm). Mimete: Mika Kanai (JP), Catherine Disher (EN), Socorro de la Campa (LatAm). Tellu: Chieko Honda (JP), Kirsten Bishop (EN), Isabel Martinon (LatAm). Viluy: Yoshino Takamori (JP), Ana Maria Grey (LatAm). Cyprine: Yuriko Fuchizaki (JP). Ptilol: Rumi Kasahara (JP). Susan Aceron (Viluy, Cyprine and Ptilol, EN), Monica Villaseñor (Cyprine and Ptilol, LatAm), Isabel Wolmar (All, PT)
- Ascended Extras: Eudial and Mimete in the anime.
- Back from the Dead: All of them are killed off individually in the manga, but then ressurected by Kaolinite to fight the Sailor Senshi all at once.
- Blown Across the Room: After Usagi transforms into Super Sailor Moon, Eudial attempts to fry her, however Super Sailor Moon deflects her attack, sending it back at her and causing her to fall out of a stain glass window.
- Butt Monkey: Eudial very frequently ended up like this, and to a smaller degree, so did Mimete.
- Combat Pragmatist: In her battles against the Sailor Senshi, Eudial discarded magic or complicated plans and used guns that could extract an Heart Crystal faster than the Daimons( which she brought with herself only to provide cover for her escape), flamethrowers capable to overpower Sailor Moon's attacks, and even a few dozens machine guns! The latter served to show why you don't just shoot the Sailor Senshi: the machine guns shot and hit Sailor Neptune until they ran out of ammo, and, while battered, she wasn't even bleeding.
- Curtains Match the Window
- Creepy Twins: Cyprine and Ptilol.
- Destination Defenestration: Eudial, after Super Sailor Moon deflects her attack. Astonishingly, she survives...but only for a few minutes.
- Disney Villain Death: Due to Mimette's antics, Eudial and her car go straight off a cliff, landing into the ocean below.
- The Ditz: Mimete..at first....
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: An anime scene where Mimete and Professor Tomoe are playing Twister has Mimete throwing her head back, lifting a bare leg and pretty much moaning suggestively as they do so... It went uncensored outside Japan.
- Drives Like Crazy: Eudial, so much. Nice Car Fu Running Gag, indeed.
- Dropped a Bridge on Him: In the anime, Mimete transports herself into a huge TV screen, which is supposed to make her even more powerful. Just as you think the senshi are in for an epic battle, Tellu walks in and pulls the plug, trapping her in the TV forever.
- Emotionless Girl: Viluy, Ami's rival. Ami herself lampshades the trope by lamenting how Viluy only believed in machines after Viluy's Karmic Death.
- Enemy Civil War: The girls backstab and kill each other without any second thoughts in the anime.
- Every Car Is a Pinto: Mimette rigs the brakes in Eudial's car, so when she is driven off of a cliff, there is a giant water "explosion."
- Evil Diva: Manga Mimete.
- Evil Redheads: At least three of the girls had red or orange hair: Eudial, Mimete, and Ptilol, though Mimete is more strawberry blonde.
- Fate Worse than Death: Mimete is left trapped inside a computer in the anime. Since she was converted to energy, and energy can't be destroyed, that means it's an eternal sentencing for her.
- Fangirl: In the anime, Mimete tended to attack her favorite idols. By her logic, people who were succesful and beloved had to possess very bright Heart Crystals.
- Fiery Redhead: Eudial and Ptilol.
- Geeky Turn-On: Oh, those labcoats and glasses!
- Go Karting with Bowser: Mimete and Minako in episode 114.
- Hoist By Her Own Petard: Tellu is killed by one of her own flowers. Viluy is erased by her nanomachines.
- Humanoid Abomination: In the manga. In the anime, they're likely just former Muggles who learned Functional Magic and Science.
- Improbable Weapon User: Eudial's Fire Buster II is basically a vacuum cleaner that can shoot fire.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Eudial and (especially) Mimete.
- Karmic Death: The computer Mimete was left trapped in was built by Eudial, whom she murdered earlier. Cyprine and Ptilol died when hit by each other's attacks. Tellu and Viluy's own creations turn against them.
- Magic Brakes: This leads to Eudial's downfall.
- Meganekko: Eudial and Mimete wear glasses when not in action.
- Oh Crap: Cyprine and Ptilol have one in the anime before they're wiped out by their own attacks, making their's the only Witches 5 death to have some comedic value to it.
- Quirky Miniboss Squad
- Schrödinger's Cast: In the manga they all work for Kaolinite rather than Tomoe, are closer to being actual witches, and work fairly well together rather than backstab one another.
- Self-Disposing Villain: In the anime, all of them. Sure, the Senshi helped here and there, but these girls were so busy killing each other and/or being cocky idiots that the Senshi could've probably just twiddled their thumbs and waited.
- Shy Blue-Haired Girl: Averted: Cyprine is ruthless and arrogant.
- Single-Minded Twins: Cyprine and Ptilol. It's more of them actually being two halves of the same person though.
- Smug Snake: Each one of them seem to think themselves more skilled than they actually turn out to be, especially in the anime.
- Villains Out Shopping: In one episode, they play Twister. Prof. Tomoe also joins them.
- White-Haired Pretty Girl: Viluy, again.
- Why Did It Have To Be Snails?: Eudial hates snails. This eventually leads to her downfall because Mimete not only tampers with her car, but puts some snails in the brakes to make her panic more.
Daimons Dead Moon Circus - Circus of Fear: And how.
- Crapsaccharine World: Sorta. It's a shiny, pretty, magical place that gives you lots of fun when you're attending its shows, but once you learn what's truly inside... aaaaaahhhhhhh!!
- Obviously Evil: You know something isn't good when it's called "Dead Moon." And nearly everything affiliated with the circus is named "Dead Moon ________." This is Lampshaded in the manga, when Mina gets a flyer for talent auditions from the "Dead Moon Talent Agency" and the Senshi immediately figure out it's a trap.
Queen NehelleniaVoiced by: Yoshiko Sakakibara as an adult and Wakana Yamazaki as a child (JP). Sylvia Garcel (LatAm), Isabel Wolmar (PT)
ZirconiaVoiced by: Hisako Kyoda (JP), Rowan Tichenor (EN), Guadalupe Noel (LatAm), António Semedo (PT)
- Ambiguous Gender: It's an evil old woman but really just looks like an evil old thing.
- Breath Weapon: See that face-shaped pattern on the front of her robe? In the anime, it serves as a medium for Nehellenia to talk through, but in the manga it has a far more sinister purpose, since she locks the Senshi in a nightmare in which the "face" fires lasers that seemingly kills Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. The sequence the follows probably contains some of the most gruesome imagery in the Sailor Moon saga.
- The Dragon: To Nehellenia.
- Eldritch Abomination: By all means, she should not exist, yet does.
- Evil Old Folks
- Large Ham: Is often seen screaming and ranting at the top of her lungs at the Trio and Quartet (especially the Quartet, who don't tend to listen.) The scenery often shakes when she does so.
- She's a Man in Japan: Reversed; Zirconia is a woman in Japan, but was bizarrely made male in the English dub, with a hilariously bad Yoda-esque voice.
- Starfish Character: Zirconia is the physical manifestation of Nehellenia's desires for ultimate power and eternal beauty as well as her fears of growing old and ugly, created to carry out her will.
The Amazon Trio (Tiger's Eye, Hawk's Eye, Fisheye)Voiced by: Tiger's Eye: Ryotaro Okiayu (JP), Jason Barr (EN), Yamil Atala (LatAm), António Semedo (PT). Hawk's Eye: Toshio Furukawa (JP), Benji Plener (EN),Benjamin Rivera (LatAm), Rogério Jacques (PT). Fish Eye: Akira Ishida (JP), Deborah Drakeford (EN), Vicky Burgoa (LatAm), Miguel Feijão (PT).
- Anti Villains: Anime only.
- Ambiguous Gender: Look at Fisheye. Listen to Fisheye. Would you believe Fisheye is a guy?
- Ascended Extras: Again, anime only.
- Camp Gay: Fisheye in the anime.
- Casanova Wannabe: Tiger's Eye tries to seduce his targets and often fails miserably, despite his good looks.
- Crosscast Role: Musical versions of Fisheye and Hawk's Eye. The latter is played by Hikari Ono who also played Prince Demand.
- Cross-Dressing Voices: Fisheye was voiced by females outside of Japan. See She's a Man in Japan.
- Died Happily Ever After: Anime....sort of.
- Evil Redheads: Tiger's Eye and Hawk's Eye.
- Heel Face Turn: Anime only.
- Honey Trap: The three would separately try to befriend or seduce you. Once you rejected them, they'd try to trap you.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains
- Likes Older Women: Hawk's Eye preferred to attack older women. In fact, one of his victims was Ikuko-mama, Usagi's Hot Mom.
- Mind Rape: Literally. In order to find Pegasus, they stick their heads inside of restrained people's dream mirrors in ways that remind you of a sexual assault.
- Punch Clock Villains: The trio usually discuss work sitting around their personal bar, and regard the search for Pegasus as a mere chore they have to do as a part of their circus job.
- She's a Man in Japan: Fisheye was often made female in the dubs. Could be 'cause it's so hard to believe that he is a man in Japan 'cause his male voice actor did such an amazing job sounding femminine.
- Shy Blue Haired Girl...er, Boy: Averted with the flighty and whimsical Fisheye.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Anime....sort of.
- Two Guys and a Girl: In most dubs, due to Fisheye's gender change.
- Villainous Crossdresser: Hawk's Eye, in the manga. Fisheye, in the anime. Fisheye, though, gets some Character Development and becomes a Wholesome Crossdresser.
- Villains Out Shopping: They're always seen hanging out in a pub.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: The three, in the anime, especially Tiger's Eye and Hawk's Eye.
- Whip It Good: Tiger's Eye.
The Amazones Quartet (Cere Cere the Illusionist, Palla Palla the Ball Balancer, Jun Jun the Acrobat, Ves Ves the Tamer)Voiced by: Cere Cere: Yuri Amano (JP), Daniela Olivieri (EN), Norma Echevarria (LatAm), Cristina Cavalinhos (PT). Palla Palla: Machiko Toyoshima (JP), Jennifer Gould (EN), Circe Luna (LatAm), Olga Lima (PT). Jun Jun: Kumiko Watanabe (JP), Mary Long (EN), Mónica Villaseñor(LatAm), Cristina Paiva (PT). Ves Ves; Junko Hagimori (JP), Karyn Dywer (EN), Gabriela Willert (LatAm), Isabel Wolmar (PT).
- Anime Hair: especially Jun Jun's.
- Bokukko: Jun Jun.
- Creepy Child: All of them, but specially Palla Palla.
- Fiery Redhead: Ves Ves
- Four Girl Ensemble: Jun Jun and Ves Ves share the mannish role, Palla Palla is the childlike one, Cere Cere is the glamorous girl but tries to be mature too.
- Heel Face Turn: In both the anime AND the manga.
- Magical Girl: All four are actually Sailor Senshi who are charged with protecting Sailor Chibi Moon. But only in the manga. Their names come from the first four asteroids to be discovered in the asteroid belt.
- Manipulative Bitch: Cere Cere has a knack for being this.
- Master of Illusion: Cere Cere, fitting her manipulative tactics.
- Pet the Dog: Jun Jun helps Chibi-Usa's friend Kyusuke with a problem of his in one episode before even learning that he's to be her new target.
- Jun Jun has a tendency to help her targets fulfill their dreams anyways. Believed to be reference to the goddess Juno, for whom the comet she is named.
- The Psycho Rangers: Each Amazon is a direct inversion of her Senshi counterpart (at least in the manga). Cere Cere is calm and refined where Minako is scatterbrained and hyper, Jun Jun is bullying where Makoto is nurturing, Ves Ves is out of control where (manga) Rei is coldly composed, and Palla Palla is childish and ditzy where Ami is mature and brilliant.

- She-Fu: Jun Jun.
- Shy Blue-Haired Girl: Subverted: Palla Palla is outspoken and childlike.
- Third-Person Person: Palla Palla.

- Tricksters: All of them.
- Whip It Good: Ves Ves had a whip, as befitting her tamer work in the circus.
- Yuri Amano: Cere Cere.
Shadow Galactica - Dark Magical Girl
- Fallen Heroines: Many of Shadow Galactica's members in the manga are former Sailor Senshi that have turned evil. Those that aren't (The Sailor Anima Mates) killed the Sailor Senshi of their planets to gain power, though both manga and anime mention that they are being controlled by bracelets that Galaxia has put on them.
Sailor GalaxiaVoiced by: Mitsuko Horie (JP), Nancy McKenzie (LatAm), Isabel Wolmar (PT)
- BFS
- The Chess Master
- Demonic Possession: The anime version of Galaxia tried to turn herself into a can for sealing Chaos and sent her own Star Seed (Chibi Chibi) away to not get her contaminated. Didn't quite work. However, being The Chess Master she made preparations to give the new generation of Sailor Senshi a fighting chance against her.
- Disc One Final Boss: In the manga.
- The Dragon: To Chaos.
- Evil Counterpart: To Usagi, especially the manga.
- Evil Redheads
- Face Heel Turn and Heel Face Turn.
- Fallen Heroine
- Galaxy's Strongest Woman: In the anime, Galaxia was, as befits her name, the strongest Sailor Senshi in the entire Galaxy, before her Face Heel Turn and arguably kept the title to the end, as far as sheer power is concerned.
- For the Evulz and You Have Failed Me: In the anime, these tropes basically sum up Galaxia's treatment of her minions. It's fairly clear, that their missions were meaningless and meant only to entertain her to begin with, yet she still kills them off for failures. Moreover, her offer to Uranus and Neptune and her words after it is accepted imply that she cycled through many, many sets of minions this way. In the manga, she's not above offing a failed underling as well.
- Hero Killer: From the beginning in the manga, and after she gets bored of watching her servants getting whipped by the Senshi in the anime, she swiftly demonstrates why she is so feared.
- Nietzsche Wannabe: The manga version which was convinced that the world was horrible and the life was worthless, seeking power to justify her existence through remaking the galaxy.
- Omnicidal Maniac: She wiped out all life on multiple planets in both anime and manga.
- One-Winged Angel: In the anime, Chaos' manifestation is basically powered-up Galaxia. With actual demonic wings and a black uniform.
- Rapunzel Hair: Long, pretty orange and red hair.
- Redemption Earns Life: In the anime.
- Redemption Equals Death: In the manga. Quite literatelly; it's the act of redeeming herself that kills her, as the bracelet sustaining her starseed shatters as a result of her Heel Face Turn. However, it's implied she's reborn along with all the other dead Senshi in the end.
- Reliable Traitor: The manga version of Galaxia worked for Chaos in the hope to eventually destroy it, and take control of the galaxy. Of course, to gain power that can destroy Chaos, she intended to steal every star seed from every planet in the galaxy, thus clearing them of life, which was Chaos' goal from the beginning.
- Sadistic Choice
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Both manga and anime versions think they're doing what's right and wish to destroy Chaos.
Sailor Mnemosyne and Sailor Lethe
- Anti-Villain: Mnemosyne and Lethe joined Galaxia because they truly believed she would bring order to the universe, something they desperately wanted since their planets were engulfed in an endless war.
- Heel Face Turn: Almost. Mnemosyne feels sorry for Sailor Moon and restores her memory after Lethe erases it, then convinces Lethe to join her in helping Sailor Moon. Both she and Lethe then get killed off by Sailors Phi and Chi for turning on Shadow Galactica immediately afterwards.
- Redemption Equals Death: Same as above.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: Lethe and Mnemosyne.
Sailor Anima Mates
Sailor Iron Mouse aka Nezu Chuukou Voiced by: Eriko Hara (JP), Gabriela Willert (LatAm), Olga Lima (PT)
From the planet Chuu. Sailor Aluminum Seiren aka Reiko AyaVoiced by: Kikuko Inoue (JP), Maru Guerrero (LatAm), Olga Lima (PT)
From the planet Mermaid. Sailor Lead Crow aka Akane KarasumaVoiced by: Chiharu Suzuka (JP), Gisela Casillas (LatAm), Cristina Paiva (PT)
From the planet Coronis, also the homeworld of Phobos and Deimos in the manga. Sailor Tin Nyanko aka Suzu NyankoVoiced by: Ikue Ohtani (JP), Ana Maria Grey (LatAm), Cristina Cavalinhos (PT)
From the planet Mau, also the homeworld of Luna and Artemis in the manga. - Anti-Villain: In the manga (definately not in the anime, although this is because she's Brainwashed and Crazy.)
- Cat Girl
- Heel Face Door Slam: Sailor Moon manages to partway purify her by hitting one of her bracelets and destroying it; this causes one side of her uniform to turn white and her to be torn between acting good or evil. Galaxia will have none of this and kills her off before Sailor Moon can finish.
- Smug Snake
- The Sociopath: Her Brainwashed and Crazy personna in the anime is devoid of any empathetic qualities whatsoever.
Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon
From the planet Cocoon. - Action Mom: A surprisingly evil variant, though her being a mother isn't touched upon in the series proper.
- All There in the Manual: The artbooks list her as a Samba dancer and a mother. They're also the source of the name of her planet.
- Playing with Fire: Her Galactica Scales attack is fire based.
PhageChaos
- As Long as There Is Evil: Its anime incarnation is literally the evil and malice of all sentient beings across the galaxy coagulated into semi-physical form.
- Big Bad: Fifth season.
- Bigger Bad: In the manga, all previous Big Bads derived from Chaos.
- The Chess Master: In the manga only, where it orchestrates basically all of the bad stuff that happens over the course of the series, and manipulates Sailor Galaxia into working towards its goals, as opposed to possessing her.
- Eldritch Abomination
- God of Evil
- The Evil Behind All Evils: Only hinted at in the anime, outright stated in the manga.
- Omnicidal Maniac
- Ultimate Evil: Particularly in the manga, where it is only stopped temporarily, and is going to return as practically invincible Sailor Chaos to unleash a devastating war on galaxy sometime in the future.
- You Have Failed Me: Wouldn't be a true Sailor Moon Big Bad without this trope.
Movie villians FioreVoiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa as an adult and Tomoko Maruo as a child (JP). Steven Bednarski as an adult and Mary Long as a child (EN). Benjamin Rivera (LatAm)
- Anti-Villain: He just wants to make Mamoru happy...
- Expy: He resembles the Makaiju Aliens. The first thing he remembers in life is drifting in space and he doesn't know where he comes from, so the implication is that he IS a Makaiju Alien.
- Heel Face Turn: After being freed from the Xenian Flower's power, he gives Mamoru the nectar which revives Usagi. Seems to be a Redemption Equals Death case as well, though we see him reborn as a child and drifting away into space immediately afterward.
- Love Makes You Evil and Love Makes You Crazy: Xenian uses his feelings from Mamoru to control him into becoming her willing servent for the destruction of Earth.
- More than Mind Control: Xenian's hold on him is very physical and emotional as well as mental.
- Unlucky Childhood Friend: If he is truly in love with Mamoru.
Xenian FlowerVoiced by: Yumi Touma (JP), Susan Aceron (EN), Norma Echevarría (LatAm)
- Eldritch Abomination: She's capable of destroying stars and planets in order to survive, and is described as "the most dangerous flower in the universe".
- Omnicidal Maniac
- The Power of Hate: She pours hatred into her host's heart, causing them to fall under her spell and carry out her every whim. Eventually, she becomes powerful enough to destroy the entire planet along with the unfortunate individual whom she had deceived.
Princess Snow KaguyaVoiced by: Eiko Masuyama (JP), Catherine Disher (EN), Laura Torres (LatAm)
