History Characters / SailorMoonBlackMoonClan

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: He got injured running away from Wiseman, and a purified Petz rescued him. He could have stayed in her apartment and sat out the battle the Senshi were having with Dark Lady; instead, he insisted on returning to the field to save Demande from Wiseman.

* MurderTheHypotenuse: She attempts this due to her jealousy of Sailor Moon. In the anime, she sends a Droid after the Sailor Senshi while they're travelling through the timestream and "forgot" to advise said Droid that Prince Demande wants Sailor Moon alive.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the manga, Rubeus didn't do much aside from watching everything unfold from the sidelines and eventually deciding to quit when things went awry. In the '90s anime, while he's no better on the bystander aspect, Rubeus is incredibly manipulative of his subordinates to the point of giving them weapons that would obliterate everyone in range. Not to mention, he is able to tank attacks from the Inner Senshi (including Mars and Jupiter). He could also give a decent fight against Sailor Moon.

* ReducedToDust: Though unlike the Youma, it's always the same way; freezing into a statue of blue sand and then crumbling from the feet up.

* BastardBoyfriend: While he wasn't exactly Koan's boyfriend, he shows ''many'' of the signs of the trope towards her.

* DubNameChange: He is Prince Diamond in the [=DiC=]dub.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Inverted; in the anime, he dies while trying to reason with Demande and tell him that Wiseman is using them. Sailor Moon manages to get through to Demande by reminding him of Saffir's death.

* 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.]]

* 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, which he did more gradually and from the get-go in the manga.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Petz gives a horrifyingly brutal one to Calaveras while giving her, Koan and Berthier their electroshock therapy in the '90s anime.

* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:In the anime, Wiseman tricks her by offering her a crown that will boost her powers. It turns her into [[OneWingedAngel a mindless dragon]] instead.]]

'''Berthier voiced by''': Creator/YuriAmano (original series), Rumi Kasahara (''Crystal'') (JP), Creator/KathleenLaskey ([=DiC=]), Creator/CindyRobinson (Viz) (EN), Cristina Camargo ([=LatAm=]), Cristina Cavalinhos (PT). Portrayed in the musicals by Manami Wakayama\\

* RapunzelHair: She has waist-length long hair.

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

* ThatManIsDead: Or in her case, "This girl is dead". Says a variant of this in Episode 85 to Sailor Moon after her attempt to undo the brainwashing Wiseman inflicted on Chibi-Usa/Black Lady fails.

* BadassinANiceSuit: Demande is certainly well-dressed and can take on the entire Senshi team himself.

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:He kills one in the manga, and nearly does it in Anime/SailorMoonCrystal]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Though it's more black with a slightly blueish tint.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has green hair.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Koan and Berthier have actual blue hair (dark blue for Koan, and white-ish blue for Berthier), and Petz has green hair.

* LazyBum: In the 90’s anime, Demande doesn’t do much but order Rubeus, Esmeraude, Saphir around while he sits back and admired Neo Queen Serenity’s hologram and sip wine. The only time he legitimately does something was when he kidnapped Usagi when she arrived in the future. But he primarily lets his subordinates do the dirty work for him while he lounges around.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: All the other main members of Black Moon Clan can't stand Rubeus and his behaviour in the '90s anime.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the manga, Rubeus didn't do much aside from watching everything unfold from the sidelines and eventually deciding to quit when things went awry. In the '90s anime, while he's no better on the bystander aspect, Rubeus 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.

* BastardBoyfriend: While he wasn't exactly Koan's boyfriend, he shows MANY of the signs of the trope towards her.

* 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.

* SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: A smaller version of this trope occurs in ''R''. After failing to capture Sailor Mercury and being abandoned by her sisters, Berthier snaps and uses Dark Water Full Power to freeze herself to death, [[TakingYouWithMe dragging the Sailor Guardians with her]].

* UnwittingPawn: In the '90s anime, the sisters never realize that Rubeus is using them as sacrifices so that he can capture Chibi-usa himself, until it's too late. After her {{Heel Face Turn}}, Berthier even admits to the Sailor Guardians that she has no real idea of the full scope of the Black Moon Clan's plans.

** First, Rubeus combines it with YouHaveFailedMe when he orders Koan to kill herself with a bomb after failing to kill Chibi-usa, but the other Guardians destroy it causing Koan's VillainousBreakdown.

** Koan goes absolutely nuts after Rubeus's bomb meant for her and the Sailor Guardians is destroyed.

* BerserkerTears: Koan in the anime when Rubeus [[YouHaveFailedMe abandons her]], sending her into a frenzy in which she attacked Moon, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter.

** First, Rubeus combines it with YouHaveFailedMe when he orders Koan to kill herself with a bomb after being overpowered by Sailor Mars, but the other Guardians destroy it causing Koan's VillainousBreakdown.

%%* AssholeVictim: Rubeus is the least sympathetic member of Black Moon Clan. As he has committed many horrible, unforgiving acts. But ultimately, he, like the rest of Black Moon Clan is manipulated by Wiseman. Not to mention, Rubeus is the member Wiseman interacts/manipulated the most, besides Prince Demande.

* BadBoss:
** Was planning on sacrificing the Four Sisters from the very beginning so that he could get all the glory of capturing Chibi-Usa himself.
** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the manga and ''Crystal'', 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. However, in ''Crystal'' he is laid back about the deaths of the Specter Sisters, calling it a minor setback when Saphir calls him out for it.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: All the other main members of Black Moon Clan can't stand Rubeus and his behaviour.
** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the manga and ''Crystal'', he has better relationship with Esmeraude, playfully teasing her about her crush on Prince Demande. Demande also enraged when he found out that Wiseman was responsible for his death.

* AssholeVictim: Rubeus is the least sympathetic member of Black Moon Clan. As he has committed many horrible, unforgiving acts. But ultimately, he, like the rest of Black Moon Clan is manipulated by Wiseman. Not to mention, Rubeus is the member Wiseman interacts/manipulated the most, besides Prince Demande.
