History Characters / SailorMoonBlackMoonClan

* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: Called the "Doom Phantom" in the English dub.

* KilledMidSentence: In the 90s anime, both in the original Japanese and the [=DiC=] and Viz dubs.

* VoiceOfTheLegion: In the 90s anime, he speaks as if many voices were talking at once.

* DubNameChange: He is Prince Diamond in the dub.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He was a massive jerk and leads the Black Moon clan, but he truly cares for Saphir [[spoiler: and is devastated when he's killed by Wiseman.]] And in the 90s anime, he seems to show some degree of sadness after [[spoiler: Esmeraude's death.]]

%%* ManInWhite

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: In the 90s anime and ''Crystal'', he sacrifices his life to atone for his misdeeds.

%%* WhiteHairBlackHeart

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:In the 90s anime, he's held by both Moon and Tuxedo Mask as he perishes.]]

* LoveHurts: In the 90s anime, it's hinted that [[spoiler:he's the reason why Petz hates men. They sort-of reconcile... right before he dies.]] And this is not counting [[spoiler:his conflicted thoughts on Dimande, either, whatever their nature is.]]

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: In the 90s anime.

* TheUnfought: In the 90s anime. He never fights the Scouts directly, he never sends Droids after them, he barely even interacts with them. The only reason they realized he even existed was because he found out Wiseman was just using them.

* {{Jerkass}}: She's quite rude, haughty, and bitchy and looks down on others who she feels are not beautiful, especially when compared to her. In one episode of the 90s anime, the thing she does when [[spoiler: she leave Rubeus to due on his exploding ship as it self destructs is laugh in his face as she teleports away]].
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: In the 90s anime, leaving Rubeus to die when he actually seemed to trust her would be despicable... if Rubeus hadn't done the exact same thing to the Four Sisters.]] Thus it winds up as [[spoiler: a KarmicDeath]] rather than a MoralEventHorizon on Esmeraude's part.

* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler: In the 90s anime, she leaves Rubeus to die on his exploding ship when he fails to capture Chibi-Usa and killing Sailor Moon when she rescues the other Sailor Guardians.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: Manga!Rubeus didn't do much aside from watching everything unfold from the sidelines and eventually deciding to quit when things went awry. 90s!Rubeus, while no better on the bystander aspect, is incredibly manipulative of his subordinates to the point of giving them weapons that would obliterate everyone in range. He could also give a decent fight against Sailor Moon.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the manga and ''Crystal'', he actually shows some concern for his comrades and is the first of the clan to realize that Wiseman is just using them and tries to turn tail, but gets promptly killed for it. However, this was ''not'' the case in the 90s anime.
* AssholeVictim: In the 90s anime, where [[spoiler: Esmeraude leaves him to die in his spaceship as it's self-destructing because he's not useful to Demande anymore due to his failure, in an IronicEcho of what he did to the girls.]]

* DubNameChange: His name was simplified as Rubeus in the Canadian dub.

* HateSink: His 90s anime counterpart is by far one of the most vile and loathsome villains in the series, given he has no comedic moments and is willfully exploiting the Ayakashi Sisters to reap the benefits of their success.
* KarmicDeath: In the 90s anime, [[spoiler:he is to die on his spaceship for his failure to capture Sailor Moon or Chibi-usa, after he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness abandoned all four of his subordinates]] for the same reason.]]

* LazyBum: Doesn't do anything in the 90s anime except bark orders at the Ayakashi Sisters, hoping to get rewarded for whatever they accomplish. Although he does step up after he loses all four of them and tries kidnapping Chibi-Usa and the Guardians.

* YouHaveFailedMe: In the 90s anime:

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: To Petz, in the 90s anime. [[spoiler: He turned her into ''even more'' of a PsychoElectro 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, [[spoiler: Esmeraude leaves him to die in his spaceship because he's not useful to Prince Demande anymore, in an IronicEcho of what he did to the girls.]]

* AxCrazy: In the 90s anime;

* DoesNotLikeMen: Petz in the 90s anime, after [[spoiler: Saphir]] left her. This changes when she reconciles with him. [[spoiler: Right before the dude kicks it.]]
* DontYouDarePityMe: After Petz gets defeated in the 90s anime, she outright tells her sisters that she doesn't need their pity. It doesn't work.
* DrivenToSuicide: In the 90s anime, Koan is ordered to kill herself by Rubeus, and Berthier tries to kill herself after her plan to capture Sailor Mercury fails and her sisters tell her that they want nothing to do with her anymore. Also, Petz attempts a RedemptionEqualsDeath in order to stop the mess she'd created, but her sisters forgive her already and prevent this.

* EtTuBrute: In the 90s anime, they are understandably shocked when Rubeus betrays them one by one.

* HeelFaceTurn: In the 90s anime, all of the sisters get purified by Sailor Moon as humans.
* HerHeartWillGoOn: In the 90s anime, [[spoiler:as soon as Saphir and Petz get back together, he's brutally killed off.]]

* NobodyTouchesTheHair: In the 90s anime, Koan's hair gets ruined by Yuichiro's broom when the he stops her from harming Chibi-Usa. Koan, being the VainSorceress she is, gets furious and attempts to blast him with Dark Fire.

* SanitySlippage: In the 90s anime, Rubeus gives Petz a {{MacGuffin}} that will amplify her Dark Thunder powers, driving her insane to the point that she even attacks Calaveras and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness deems her not useful anymore]]. She snaps out of it thanks to the Sailor Guardians.

* TakingYouWithMe: In the 90s anime, Berthier invokes this during her suicide attempt on the Guardians.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Berthier in the 90s anime, but for a small measure of good. She's the most sensitive of the sisters, and the only one before her HeelFaceTurn to openly admit she cares about the other three. Berthier even said she'd miss Koan after she left.

* UnwittingPawn: In the 90s anime, the sisters never realize that they're merely being used by Rubeus as sacrifices so that he can capture Chibi-usa himself, until it's too late.

* VillainousBreakdown: Each of the girls has one before their {{Heel Face Turn}}s in the 90s anime, but none are more depressing than [[spoiler: Koan's, who attempts suicide with a time bomb which is thrown out of her hands by the Sailor Guardians, then attacks all the Sailor Guardians in a blind, screaming rage until Sailor Mars protects her from getting kneed in the stomach by Sailor Jupiter]] and [[spoiler: 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 [[DrivenToSuicide uses her powers to freeze herself]] and everyone around her]].

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Combined with YouHaveFailedMe. In the 90s anime, the sisters are abandoned by Rubeus in various manners before their HeelFaceTurn:

* MorphWeapon: Uses Luna-P as one in the 90s anime, transforming it into a ParasolOfPain and other impromptu weapons.
* ParentalIncest: Played straight in the manga and [[Anime/SailorMoonCrystal Crystal]], [[spoiler:she brainwashes Mamoru into believing he's Endymion and turns him into her boyfriend.]] Averted in the 90s anime; [[spoiler:the kissing scene is shown, but is only an illusion to trick Usagi and it doesn't work anyway.]]

'''Achiral voiced by''': Creator/RyotaroOkiayu (original series), Kazunari Tanaka (JP), Creator/KyleHebert (Viz) (EN)

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the manga, he actually shows some concern for his comrades and is the first of the clan to realize that Wiseman is just using them and tries to turn tail, but gets promptly killed for it. As you will see below, this was ''not'' the case in the 90s anime.

** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the manga, he actually shows the most concern for their clan as they drop like flies. Or at least is the only one who cares to mention it.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: In the 90s anime, the sisters are abandoned by Rubeus in various manners before their HeelFaceTurn:

** During Calaveras and Petz's battle with the Sailor Guardians, the former invokes the trope name word-for-word to Koan and Berthier and asks Petz to kill them. Unfortunately for her, she ends up on the receiving end when Petz, who has become AxCrazy, ends up blasting her with Dark Thunder along with Berthier and Koan.

* SanitySlippage: In the 90s anime, Rubeus gives Petz a MacGuffin that will amplify her powers, driving her insane to the point that she even attacks Calaveras and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness deems her not useful anymore]].

* UnwittingPawn: In the 90s anime, they never realize that they're merely being used by Rubeus as sacrifices so that he can capture Chibi-usa himself, until it's too late.

** During Calaveras and Petz's battle with the Sailor Guardians, the former invokes the trope name word-for-word to Koan and Berthier and asks Petz to kill them. Unfortunately for her, Petz, who has become AxCrazy, ends up blasting them ''and'' Calaveras with Dark Thunder, to the point that she even calls the latter a traitor.

* KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade: By Wiseman in the manga.

** Petz becomes corrupted by the stick Rubeus gives her to the point of even attacking Calaveras.

* DontYouDarePityMe: After Petz gets defeated, she outright tells Koan that she doesn't need her pity. It doesn't work.

* PsychoElectro: Petz can use her lightning abilities to overpower enemies. In ''R'', Rubeus gives her his stick to amplify her powers to the point that she fries her own sisters with Dark Thunder.

* SanitySlippage: In the 90s anime, Rubeus gives her a MacGuffin that will amplify her powers, driving her insane to the point that she even attacks Calaveras and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness deems her not useful anymore]].

** During Calaveras and Petz's battle with the Sailor Guardians, the former says the trope name word-for-word to Koan and Berthier and asks Petz to kill them. Petz, who has become AxCrazy, ends up blasting them ''and'' Calaveras with Dark Thunder, even calling the latter a traitor.

* VainSorceress: The four of them take excessive pride in how they look.
* VillainousBreakdown: Each of the girls has one before their {{HeelFaceTurn}}s in the 90s anime, but none are more depressing than [[spoiler: Koan's, who attempts suicide with a time bomb which is thrown out of her hands by the Sailor Guardians, then attacks all the Sailor Guardians in a blind, screaming rage until Sailor Mars protects her from getting kneed in the stomach by Sailor Jupiter]] and [[spoiler: 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 [[DrivenToSuicide uses her powers to freeze herself]] and everyone around her]].

* VillainousBreakdown: Each of the girls has one before their {{Heel-Face Turn}}s in the 90s anime, but none are more depressing than [[spoiler: Koan's, who attempts suicide with a time bomb which is thrown out of her hands by the Sailor Guardians, then attacks all the Sailor Guardians in a blind, screaming rage until Sailor Mars protects her from getting kneed in the stomach by Sailor Jupiter]] and [[spoiler: 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 [[DrivenToSuicide uses her powers to freeze herself]] and everyone around her]].

* ClingyJealousGirl: To Demande. (And [[GenreSavvy Wiseman]] takes advantage of this.) She's so clingy that, when Demande kidnaps Usagi, she secretly helps her escape because she ''really'' doesn't want her to stay around; it's even lampshaded by the just as jealous Saphir, since he saw Esmeraude do so and correctly deduced her reasons.

* AdaptationalHeroism: The 90's anime gave the Black Moon Clan much more sympathetic motivations for their actions, as they were descendants of anarchists who rebelled against Neo Queen Serenity and forced to life on the barren and desolate planet Nemesis to survive. The Clan therefore wanted to remake the past so their people could survive and were manipulate by [[ManipulativeBastard Wiseman]] to suit his own needs. In the original manga they rebelled because they hated the idea of immortality.

* PsychoElectro: Petz can use her lightning abilities to overpower enemies.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: In the 90s anime, Rubeus tells Koan to kill herself with a bomb. Then Calaveras and Petz turn on Berthier, forcing latter to be almost DrivenToSuicide. Then Calaveras says it word-for-word to Koan and Berthier, but an AxCrazy Petz fries them ''and'' Calaveras. Petz ends up being the last to be abandoned by Rubeus, who uses her stick to create a black hole.

* UnwittingPawn: Regardless of adaptation the Clan was manipulated by Wiseman, someone who wasn't even a member, to suit his own twisted schemes, then stabbed in the back once they were no longer useful.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: In the 90's anime the Clan's goal was to reclaim the earth for their people stuck on Planet Nemesis. The whole "rewriting reality" thing came from Wiseman manipulating them.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: In the manga/Crystal the Black Moon Clan originally rebelled against Neo Queen Serenity as they believed that immortality was unnatural and that humans were suppose to age and die.

* ShesGotLegs: As her dress makes ''quite'' clear.

%%* VainSorceress

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Green.

-->"You allowed Sailor Moon, the Sailor Guardians, ''and'' The Rabbit (Chibi-Usa) to escape. And now you want ''me'' to save ''you''? You're a truly pathetic specimen. Our glorious clan really has no use for an incompetent man who has failed in his mission. Do us all a favor and vanish with this ship. (mockingly laughs and teleports away, leaving [[spoiler: Rubeus]] behind)"
* ZettaiRyouiki: Uses a dress with a VERY short skirt and knee-high boots.

* EasilyForgiven: Berthier seemed to hold no resentment towards Calaveras and Petz for abandoning her right before her HeelFaceTurn. Although considering she saw the same thing happen to Calaveras and Petz, she may have just decided to reconcile with them.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Attempted by Petz in the 90s anime to stop the mess she created due to Rubeus, but it doesn't work out and she is rescued.

* VainSorceress: The four of them.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Koan and Berthier have actual blue hair(dark blue for Koan, and white-ish blue for Berthier), and Petz has green hair.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: In the 90s anime, Rubeus tells Koan to kill herself with a bomb. Then Calaveras and Petz turn on Berthier, forcing latter to attempt suicide. Then Calaveras says this word-for-word to Koan and Berthier, but an AxCrazy Petz fries them and Calaveras, and Rubeus abandons Petz afterwards.

* ThePsychoRangers: Are basically the Black Moon counterparts to the Inner Guardians. This extends down to their attacks. Koan used "Dark Fire" Berthier attacks with Dark Water, Petz uses Dark Thunder and Calaveras uses the Dark Love whip. They go all the way with getting their own EvilCounterpart personalities to the Inner Guardians in the anime as well.

* VoiceOfTheLegion: In the Canadian dub, he speaks as if many voices were talking at once.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: In the 90s anime and ''Crystal''.

* Dub Name Change: He is Prince Diamond in the dub.

* Dub Name Change: In the DiC dub, he is Prince Sapphire.

* Dub Name Change: Her name was changed to Emerald.

* Dub Name Change: He was simply referred to as Rubeus.
%%* EvilRedhead

* Dub Name Change: Their names were changed to Catzi, Bertie, Avery and Prizma. Catzi is the oldest, by the way.

* Dub Name Change: He was simply referred to as Rubens.

!'''Black Moon Clan'''
The main antagonists of the Black Moon arc/ R season of Sailor Moon. Hailing from the 30th century the Black Moon Clan are a group of anarchists who live on the Planet Nemesis the tenth planet in the Solar System. They rebelled against the rule of Neo Queen Serenity and attacked Crystal Tokyo incapacitating the queen and her court. The Black Moon Clan then set to work trying to exterminate the Queens daughter Chibi-Usa, whom they dubbed "the rabbit", viewing her as the last obstacle in their plans. The Black Moon clan arrived in modern day Tokyo to kill Chibi-Usa, destroy the Legendary Silver Crystal, and rewrite the past to suit their own image of the future bringing them into contact with the Sailor Guardians of the modern era.

* IJustWantToBeLoved: In the 90's anime Chibi-Usa is made to believe that nobody in her life truly loved her and saw her as a burden via Wiseman's FakeMemories. Afterwards she admits that she is fine with dying if she can't live in a world that loves her. This is even lampshaded by Wiseman who mocking refers her to a "love sick rabbit."

* WellIntentioedExtremists: In the 90's anime the Clan's goal was to reclaim the earth for their people stuck on Planet Nemesis. The whole "rewriting reality" thing came from Wiseman manipulating them.
* WhoWantsToLifeForever: In the manga/Crystal the Black Moon Clan originally rebelled against Neo Queen Serenity as they believed that immortality was unnatural and that humans were suppose to age and die.

* PsychoticWomanchild: Since Black Lady is Chibi-Usa forcibly aged up by Wiseman's magic this makes sense. In the manga and Crystal she takes the "little girls wanting to marry their father" mentality to a twisted level [[spoiler:by actually making out with a brainwashed Mamoru]] in order to spite her mother. In the anime she uses Luna-P as she once did as a child in order to attack her former friends and family with things like a giant paper fan and a badminton racket and one of her impalanted memories that spurns on her hatred is because nobody cared enough to celebrate her birthday.
