10	[[header:Black Moon Clan (The Negamoon Family)]]
11	The main antagonists of the second arc 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 Queen's 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.

15	[[folder:In General]]
16	* AdaptationalHeroism: The 90s 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 manipulated by [[ManipulativeBastard Wiseman]] to suit his own needs. In the original manga they rebelled because they thought the immortality provided to all the citizens of future Earth by the Mystical Silver Crystal was blasphemous.
17	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In the manga and ''Crystal'', they did what they did because they believed that immortality was unnatural and that humans were supposed to die. Their actions got them all killed.
18	* ChromaticArrangement: Crimson Rubeus, Green Esmeraude and Blue Saphir represent the three primary colors. This is probably why Demande didn't get a color in his name.
19	* ColorCodedStones: They each embody a gemstone and usually display the characteristics that would be associated to that stone.
20	* DubNameChange: They are called the "Negamoon Family" in the [=DIC=] version. Rubeus keeps his name, while Saphir, Prince Demande, and Esmeraude get non-corrupted names, Becoming Sapphire, Prince Diamond, and Emerald, respectively.
21	* TheExile: In the anime, the Black Moon Clan was banished to Nemesis after they rebelled against Neo Queen Serenity's rule, and the currently living members grew up in exile.
22	* RelatedInTheAdaptation: The [=DiC=] version writes the Black Moon Clan's origin from a Moon stationed within the Dark Kingdom (or rather, the Negaverse).
23	* 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.
24	* WellIntentionedExtremist: In the 90s 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.
25	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: In the manga and ''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.

34	----
35	* DarkIsEvil: A black stone that is outright called "malefic".
36	* EvilCounterpart: To the Legendary Silver Crystal. It was often said that the two powers were equal.
37	* EvilTowerOfOminousness: A spire of pure black crystal that was planted in Crystal Tokyo in the manga, slowly killing the planet's population.
38	* InstantDeathRadius: The crystal spire slowly kills everything around it with negative energy. [[spoiler:Black Lady decides to speed up the process by planting two more into Earth]].
39	* YinYangBomb: In the manga, Death Phantom wanted both crystals to obtain the greatest power of all.

47
48	Prince Demande's mysterious advisor and the first to encourage the Black Moon Clan to search for the Silver Crystal. Of course, he's more than he first appears...
49	----
50	* AbsoluteXenophobe: He views sentient life as a blight.
51	* BigBad: The main antagonist of the second season.
52	* BigWhat[=/=]OhCrap: "What!? ''Two'' Silver Crystals!?"
53	* TheCameo: In the manga, he appears in a flashback in the final arc as the one to point Sailor Galaxia to the Galaxy Cauldron.
54	* TheChessmaster: Arguably the best of the series {{Big Bad}}s in this regard since every one else tends to be a single-minded EldritchAbomination who needed the help of their minions to arrive on earth. Instead Wiseman had to manipulate both the Black Moon Clan and Chibi-Usa in order for his plans to succeed and did so marvellously by preying on their fears and weaknesses and disguising himself as a feeble old man in order to hide his true objective.
55	* TheCorrupter: Wiseman's modus operandi is finding out his targets' weaknesses and exploiting them to do his bidding. Wiseman preyed on Chibi-Usa's insecurities and fears in order to corrupt her into becoming Black Lady. In the '90s anime he prayed on Demande's desire to protect his people and manipulated him until he could barely remember his original purpose. In the '90s anime he even attempts to corrupt Usagi by preying on her insecurities regarding her relationship with Mamoru.
56	* CrystalBall: He's almost always seen holding it.
57	* DiabolusExNihilo: In the anime, where his backstory is removed and it's flat out stated that even the rest of the Black Moon Clan has no idea where he came from.
58	* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: He's called the "Doom Phantom" rather than "Death Phantom" in the [=DiC=] dub.
59	* EldritchAbomination: In the manga, his true form is planet Nemesis, which isn't so much a planet as it is a planet-sized mass of dark power. In the anime, he's an EnergyBeing who dwells beyond the Dark Gate, who's Wiseman form is only a projected avatar.
60	* EvilFeelsGood: In ''Crystal'' he sounds like he's having the time of his life whenever he speaks. Doubles as EvilIsHammy.
61	* EvilOldFolks: He sounds like an old man in most languages.
62	* TheFaceless: Until TheReveal, we only see GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath under his hood.
63	* FightingAShadow: In the manga, that [[TheGrimReaper Grim Reaper]] we see is just a puppet he used, his real body being Planet Nemesis itself. In the anime, his Wiseman form is only an avatar controlled through his crystal ball that can simply pull itself back together when blown apart. His true form is only glimpsed in a split-second shot as it fully comes out from the Dark Gate to possess his Wiseman form.
64	* ForTheEvulz: His reasons for wanting to destroy everything comes down to his preferring darkness and nothingness over the current state of the universe.
65	* FortuneTeller: In a way, he very much could consider itself like that, as his predictions helped the Clan to find Nemesis and use it as a base of operations towards their (his) plans. As well, he ends up being the advisor for Demande as a way to boost his influence over him.
66	* FromNobodyToNightmare: In the manga and ''Crystal'', Death Phantom was [[WasOnceAMan once a powerful Earth criminal]] who tried to rebel against Neo Queen Serenity and was left to rot on the planet Nemesis for his troubles. Then, with the power of his undying hate, he ended up merging with the planet, manipulated the Black Moon Clan, and almost destroyed all life in the universe. This may be why he's different from the other incarnations of Chaos - Nemesis was the Chaos offshoot, but Death Phantom provided a level of humanity, albeit [[StrawNihilist in a dark, twisted way.]]
67	* GeniusLoci: In the manga, he merged with planet Nemesis and made the whole planet his body.
68	* AGodAmI: A God of Death that is.
69	* TheGrimReaper: Looks like and thinks of himself as one.
70	* HypnoticEyes: His "Evil Eye" power.
71	* KilledMidSentence: In the '90s anime, both in the original Japanese and the [=DiC=] and Viz dubs.
72	* LargeHam: In the anime when he reveals his true colors.
73	* TheManBehindTheMan: Demande thought he was just his adviser.
74	* MindRape ''and'' MoreThanMindControl: Poor [[spoiler: Chibi-Usa]].
75	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: '''''DEATH PHANTOM.'''''
76	* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: In the 90's anime, since the Black Moon Clan's goal is made more sympathetic. Unlike the rest of the clan, his goal is not to remake the past to create a better world, but to destroy all life in the universe.
77	* OmnicidalManiac: Hates all life with an absolute burning passion that is unrivaled even by the other Sailor Moon {{Big Bad}}s.
78	* OurLichesAreDifferent: Several parallels can be drawn to a Lich in Death Phantom's design, to the point where the planet Nemesis could be called his phylactery.
79	* ThePowerOfHate: Death Phantom explains to the Sailor Guardians in the manga and ''Crystal'' that his hatred for Neo Queen Serenity was so strong that he ended up transcending from his human body and became the very planet Nemesis itself.
80	* RedEyesTakeWarning: When Death Phantom unleashes the full power of his Wiseman avatar to destroy the Earth in the anime.
81	* RubberMan: Limited to his arms, referred to as the "Beast Hand" in the manga.
82	* ShadowedFaceGlowingEyes: His cloak covers his head and body in darkness, leaving only his menacing glowing eyes visible underneath.
83	* StrawNihilist: He goes on several monologues about the pointlessness of life and how people can never truly love or understand one another, thus it would better to return the universe to nothingness. Though it seems mainly to be an excuse for his God complex, sadism and xenophobia.
84	* TreacherousAdvisor: It really says something that he's one for the ''villains''.
85	* TruerToTheText: In the 90's anime, he was the first villain to remain relatively the same in terms of personality and goals from his manga counterpart, even if his origin as a criminal who hated Neo Queen Serenity did not make it.
86	* VoiceOfTheLegion: In the '90s anime, he speaks as if many voices were talking at once.

95	Leader of the Black Moon Clan, a group long ago imprisoned on Nemesis by Neo-Queen Serenity. He intends to take back the Earth and get his revenge on her... [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty in the creepiest way possible]].
96	----
97	* AdaptationalHeroism:
98	** In the '90s anime. Apart from the more sympathetic backstory, he also was willing to listen to Sailor Moon when she was able to prove Wiseman was manipulating the Black Moon Clan and made a HeroicSacrifice to protect her. In the manga he became an OmnicidalManiac.
99	** In ''Crystal'', [[spoiler:his final act is also to protect Sailor Moon from Wiseman (as opposed to the manga, in which his final act is to try to kill her resulting in her and Tuxedo Mask killing him), though for [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou much less noble reasons]]. However, his calling Sailor Moon "My queen" seconds before death is interpreted by many as a last-minute HeelFaceTurn.]]
100	* BadassCape: A regal white one.
101	* BadassInANiceSuit: Demande is certainly well-dressed and can take on the Guardians himself.
102	* BigBadWannabe: Is assumed to be the BigBad initially by both the audience and the Guardians, but the more the arc goes on the clearer it is that he's just an UnwittingPawn.
103	* TheCorrupter: In the '90s anime, Demande tries corrupting Sailor Moon while she's in the Malefic Black Crystal, only for the latter to make him realize Wiseman has been using him as an UnwittingPawn.
104	* ConqueringAlienPrince: Wants to take over the Earth, hence why he invaded Crystal Tokyo. He's the centre of the page image.
105	* CrosscastRole: Musicals only. He's played by the very female Hikari Ono.
106	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the manga, [[spoiler:Demande is killed after Usagi and Mamoru combine their powers]]. In ''R'' and ''Crystal'', [[spoiler:he dies shielding Usagi from Wiseman's attacks]].
107	* TheDragon: Though he's led to believe he's the BigBad by Wiseman.
108	* DubNameChange: He is Prince Diamond in the [=DiC=] dub.
109	* 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.]] In ''Crystal'', both he and Saphir become enraged once they learn that Wiseman murdered Rubeus from Black Lady. Demande even proclaims that he'll avenge both Rubeus and Esmeraude's death before trying to eliminate Wiseman for his treachery.
110	* EvilSoundsDeep: Interestingly enough, however, he manages to be soft-spoken at the same time.
111	* TheEvilPrince: The more psychotic manga version.
112	* ForcefulKiss: On Sailor Moon, in the manga and ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal''. He tries it in the Nineties Anime too, but Tuxedo Mask stops him in time.
113	* AGlassOfChianti: He often drinks a glass of wine.
114	* GoGoEnslavement: Dolls up Moon in a pretty skimpy gown when he kidnaps her.
115	* HypnoticEyes: 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.
116	* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: To Sailor Moon. [[spoiler: In the anime, he makes up for this by TakingTheBullet for her later.]]
117	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: 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. [[spoiler:He redeems himself in the anime and ''Crystal'' by sacrificing himself to save Sailor Moon's life and in the Musicals he actually gets reborn as a Earthling!]]
118	* LazyBum: In the 90’s anime, Demande doesn’t do much but order Rubeus, Esmeraude, Saphir around while he sits back and admires Neo Queen Serenity’s hologram, while sipping wine. The only time he legitimately does something was kidnapping Usagi when she arrived in the future. But he primarily lets his subordinates do the dirty work for him while he lounges around.
119	* LightIsNotGood: He has light-colored uniforms and he serves as TheDragon to Wiseman/Death Phantom.
120	* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler: In the Nineties Anime and ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'', he dies trying to protect Usagi.]]
121	* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Sharply dressed, drinks wine and is well-spoken.
122	* OmnicidalManiac: In the manga, he [[VillainousBreakdown goes batshit insane]] [[spoiler: after being forced to kill Saphir, who was under Death Phantom's mind control and finds that Death Phantom merged with Nemesis, meaning he has no chance of killing him, and tries to erase all of the space/time by causing a TemporalParadox.]]
123	* PietaPlagiarism: In the anime, [[spoiler: he carries Saphir's lifeless body in his arms.]]
124	* PrecisionFStrike: Demande gives a rather surprising one in the Viz English dub when Tuxedo Mask confronts him:
125	--> '''Tuxedo Mask:''' How dare you use your depravity and demented powers to try and force yourself on an innocent woman! You Coward!\
126	'''Demande:''' [[ShutUpKirk Silence, you self righteous prick!]]
127	* RankScalesWithAsskicking: An UnwittingPawn he may be, but he's still the strongest member of the Black Moon Clan--apart from Death Phantom--, as well as its leader.
128	* RedemptionEarnsLife: In the musicals.
129	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: In the '90s anime and ''Crystal'', he sacrifices his life to atone for his misdeeds.
130	%%* StalkerWithACrush
131	* ThemeNaming: After the gemstone diamond.
132	* TragicVillain: In the manga. There's no redemption for him, as Death Phantom corrupts him beyond all hope, but his case is still presented as a sad one nevertheless.
133	* VillainousCrush: On Sailor Moon.
134	* VillainInAWhiteSuit: The princely leader of the Black Moon Clan, he wears an all-white uniform and is TheDragon to the Big Bad.
135	* WellIntentionedExtremist: The anime version. His original goal, before being corrupted by Death Phantom and his lust for Neo-Queen Serenity, was to conquer the Earth so that the people of Planet Nemesis could live better lives there.
136	* WhiteHairBlackHeart: He has white hair and is a villain to boot.
137	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: In the manga and ''Crystal'', he despised the idea of immortality, which got him imprisoned.
138	* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:He kills one in the manga, and nearly does it in ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'']]. Not to mention that he tasks his fellow Clan members to eliminate Chibiusa, a young child.
139	* {{Yandere}}: For Sailor Moon, so very much.

148
149	Prince Demande's stoic younger brother, a more idealistic soul who disapproves of Wiseman's influence on the Clan.
150	----
151	* AdaptationalHeroism: In the manga, he tries to kill Sailor Moon to solve the problems with Demande. In the anime, he defects on realizing Wiseman is using him and Demande, runs away with an important MacGuffin, and returns while injured to try and reason with his brother. It doesn't work; Wiseman kills him before Demande realizes the truth.
152	* AntiVillain: 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.)
153	* 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 Saphir's death.
154	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In the manga, which leads to his death.
155	* CrosscastRole: Musicals again.
156	* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:In the '90s anime, he's held by both Moon and Tuxedo Mask as he perishes.]]
157	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the manga and ''Crystal'', Saphir is killed by Demande, and in ''R'', he is killed just as he warns Demande of what Wiseman is really like.
158	* DubNameChange: In the [=DiC=] dub, he is named Prince Sapphire.
159	* EvilCounterpart: To Mamoru. They have similar looks and personalities and are mostly on the sidelines in a WorldOfActionGirls.
160	* EvilGenius: 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.
161	* GreenEyedMonster: In the anime he admits to Esmeraude that he's jealous of Sailor Moon due to how obsessed Dimande is with her, but doesn't reach CrazyJealousGuy extremes.
162	* IdenticalStranger: To Mamoru.
163	* 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.]]
164	* MoralityPet: For Demande. His death makes Demande question Wiseman's loyalties.
165	* NonActionGuy: In the anime, where he's the only clan member to never directly confront the Guardians, and doesn't do any fieldwork like Rubeus and Esmeraude.
166	* NotDistractedByTheSexy: He starts calling out Esmeraude on her failures right when she's taking a bath.
167	* OnlySaneMan: He's the only member of the Clan who voices doubts about the whole "Change the future by destroying the world of the past" plan as a good idea and was suspicious about Wiseman using them all from the very beginning.
168	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: In the '90s anime.
169	* RememberTheNewGuy: Unlike his fellow clan members, he doesn't really get much of an introduction. He just appears in one scene all of a sudden.
170	* RubberMan: Was given Wiseman's "Beast Hand" technique towards the endgame in the manga.
171	%%* TallDarkAndSnarky
172	* ThemeNaming: After the gemstone sapphire.
173	* 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.
174	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Esmeraude in the anime.
175	* 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 Guardians were having with Dark Lady; instead, he insisted on returning to the field to save Demande from Wiseman.

184	The Clan's best ([[LargeHam and hammiest]]) henchwoman. She's in love with Demande and furious that he seems to only have eyes for Neo-Queen Serenity.
185	----
186	* AdaptationalVillainy: She was more or less a standard opponent in the manga and ''Crystal''. In the '90s anime, she's a narcissistic, jealous {{Jerkass}}. She even [[spoiler: abandons a fellow member of her Clan to die [[AssholeVictim (not that anyone was complaining)]], which the original Esmeraude likely wouldn't ever do.]]
187	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She is in love with Prince Demande, who only has eyes for Neo-Queen Serenity/Sailor Moon.
188	* BigEater: While at a bakery, she manages to wolf down [[SweetTooth multiple pastries]] of various shapes and sizes. Apparently, this is because she had never had the chance to eat sweets before.
189	* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Wiseman's power changes her arms into monster-like claws.]]
190	* ButtMonkey: In the '90s anime, whenever Esmeraude went out in her human disguise, ''something'' humiliating or funny was bound to happen to her. Like completely pigging out at a pastry shop, getting peed on by puppies, etc.
191	* ClingyJealousGirl: To Demande (and 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. She was even willing to sell her soul to Wiseman, despite admitting he’s untrustworthy to Saphir, just to get rid of Sailor Moon.
192	* CombatHandFan: Her weapon is her ever present red fan that she uses to send energy attacks... or just to look even more pretentious than she already is.
193	* DubNameChange: Her name was changed to Emerald in the [=DiC=] English dub.
194	* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: Wears a conspicuous set of green jewelry over on her black dress that she flaunts shamelessly.
195	* ForcedTransformation: [[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.]]
196	* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Wiseman. Except it's [[BatmanGambit a clever trap devised by him]]...]]
197	* GreenEyedMonster: Both metaphorically and literally.
198	* HeadTurningBeauty: Arrogant and vain she might be, but she's still considered attractive enough InUniverse that her SupermodelStrut causes men (and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer some women]]) to turn their heads to follow her as she passes.
199	* HighClassGloves: Wears a pair of skintight dark green opera gloves to add to her RichBitch appearance.
200	* {{Jerkass}}: She has "pretentious bitch" written all over her with her gaudy jewels, her red fan, her mink coats and her haughty, rude and snide behaviour. She will readily insult and talk down to anyone she feels is not beautiful, especially when compared to her. All of which certainly qualifies her as a jerk. In the '90s anime, [[spoiler:when she leaves Rubeus to die on his exploding ship for failing to capture Chibi-usa and kill Sailor Moon, she laughs in his face as she teleports away]].
201	* LargeHam: She speaks in a powerful voice and has a distinctive loud laugh.
202	* LittleBlackDress: She wears a short sleeveless black dress with matching gloves and boots.
203	* MsFanservice: Wears a rather short sleeveless black dress, and shows her legs quite a lot. She even boasts about her good looks to the Sailor Guardians in one episode.
204	-->"Well, you're just skinny, pimply schoolgirls with flat chests and flat butts!"
205	* MurderTheHypotenuse: She attempts this due to her jealousy of Sailor Moon. In the anime, she sends a Droid after the Sailor Guardians while they're travelling through the timestream and "forgot" to advise said Droid that Prince Demande wants Sailor Moon alive.
206	* NoblewomansLaugh: Her laugh is so painful and [[AnnoyingLaugh annoying]], [[LampshadeHanging the characters actually cover their ears on hearing it.]] Even Wiseman (in the DIC Dub) hated her laugh.
207	-->"Emerald good riddance, that awful laugh of her's gave me a migraine."
208	* PayEvilUntoEvil: [[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.]]
209	* PrettyInMink: Wore a couple fur coats in the anime.
210	* ProudBeauty: She's a vain woman who's extremely proud about her appearance.

230	----
231	* 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 Guardians (including Mars and Jupiter). He could also give a decent fight against Sailor Moon.
232	* AdaptationalKarma: In the '90s anime, [[spoiler:Esmeraude deliberately leaves Rubeus to die on his exploding ship for failing to capture Chibi-usa in a similar vein to how he abandoned the Ayakashi Sisters]]. However, in the original manga and ''Crystal'', he's KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade by Wiseman.
233	* 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.
234	* BadBoss: He was planning on sacrificing the Four Sisters from the very beginning so that he could get all the glory of capturing Chibi-Usa himself in the '90s anime..
235	* BrokenPedestal: In the '90s anime, the Ayakashi Sisters' admiration and trust for him diminishes when he abandons them one by one.
236	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: In ''R'', Rubeus tricks the Ayakashi Sisters into suicide missions against the Sailor Guardians so he can capture Chibi-Usa herself.
237	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the manga and ''Crystal'', [[spoiler:Rubeus is killed by Wiseman]]. In ''R'', [[spoiler:Esmeraude leaves him to die aboard his exploding ship after he fails to capture Chibi-Usa]].
238	* DubNameChange: His name was simplified as Rubeus in the [=DiC=] dub. Aside from this, however, his [=DiC=] name is one of the closest to the original, as every other Black Moon name except Wiseman was fully changed, with Esmeraude, Saphir, and Demande's names being changed to the exact names of the gemstones they were named after.
239	* EvilRedhead: He has red hair and is one of the villains working for Wiseman/Death Phantom.
240	* 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.
241	* KarmicDeath: In the '90s anime, [[spoiler:he is left by Esmeraude 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.]]
242	* KickTheDog: "Accidentally" crushing the bottle of perfume Koan went out of her way to buy for him right in front of her. The [=DiC=] dub made him even ''worse'', with him going out of his way to needlessly insult Koan just before giving her the time bomb (while in the original he said love didn't belong in their Clan).
243	-->'''Rubeus''': And you've been wearing so much perfume lately ''I can’t stand to be near you!''
244	* KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade: He's killed by Wiseman in the manga and ''Crystal''.
245	* LazyBum: He 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.
246	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In ''R'', by abandoning the Ayakashi Sisters, they end up pulling a HeelFaceTurn and help the Sailor Guardians rescue Chibi-Usa.
247	* OddNameOut: In the [=DiC=] dub. If he followed the theme of the other dub name changes, his name would have been Ruby (to go with Diamond, Sapphire and Emerald), but that's a very feminine name in English.
248	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In the manga and ''Crystal'', after figuring out he was being used by Wiseman, he was ready to jump ship. [[KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade Wiseman didn't take the idea well.]]
249	* {{Slimeball}}: In the anime, he's a sleaze-bag who manipulates the Ayakashi Sisters for his own self-interests.
250	* SmugSnake: ''Especially'' in the anime, where their overconfidence ultimately becomes their FatalFlaw.
251	* SurroundedByIdiots: Given his minions are more concerned with frivolous activities than actually conquering Earth, Rubeus’s frustration with them is somewhat justified.
252	* ThemeNaming: After the gemstone ruby.
253	* UndyingLoyalty: He's loyal to Prince Demande. In the 90s anime, his efforts to capture Chibi-Usa and Sailor Moon are to get back in Demande's good graces. He is never shown or hinted to have ulterior motives. His loyalty to Demande is genuine.
254	* VillainousBreakdown: In the '90s anime, he loses it after [[spoiler:Sailor Moon and Chibi-Usa continue to interfere in his plans and Esmeraude leaves him to die on his exploding ship]].
255	* VillainRespect: Upon witnessing Sailor Moon manage to stand up in intense gravity, Rubeus has slight admiration on his face. Despite hating the Sailor Guardian, he admits to have underestimated her before turning the gravity off.
256	* YouHaveFailedMe: In the '90s anime:
257	** Rubeus gives Koan an explosive MacGuffin, telling her to kill herself and the Guardians with it as a proof of her love for him. [[spoiler: The Guardians destroy it, Koan has a heartbreaking VillainousBreakdown and attacks them in a blind rage, but Mars stops her and makes her come back to her senses. Moon then purifies Koan and gives her a normal life.]]
258	** Rubeus himself ends up on the receiving end of this trope as well, [[spoiler: when he's left to die on his ship by Esmeraude when it self destructs after failing to kill Sailor Moon and capture Chibi-Usa.]]
259	* 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.]]

269	----
270	* AdaptationalHeroism:
271	** In TheNineties anime, their roles are expanded with sympathetic backstory, and they each perform a HeelFaceTurn against the Black Moon Clan, finally committing to normal human lives. In the manga, they're killed and forgotten like any other MonsterOfTheWeek.
272	** On a more specific level, the 90s anime removed the scene where Koan [[WouldHurtAChild murdered a little girl]] who was [[LeaveNoWitnesses unfortunate enough to witness her arrival on Earth]]. Such an act likely would've made a redemption arc impossible.
273	* {{Ascended Extra}}s: In the anime, they are given more prominent roles. In the manga they only appear briefly, have short fights with their Guardians counterpart before getting killed by Usagi.
274	* ChekhovsGunman: In the 90s anime, [[spoiler:their redemption and how they're able to live peaceful lives on Earth is what causes Saphir and Demande to realize that it was always possible for the Black Moon Clan to live on Earth without violence and how they're being manipulated by Wiseman]].
275	* ChekhovsSkill: In the 90s anime, all four sisters shared an interest in cosmetics and improving their physical beauty. [[spoiler:After their redemption, they open a make up stand to earn an honest living]].
276	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: All of their eye colors match their hair: Koan's and Berthier's are blue, Petz is green and Calaveras is brown.
277	* {{Dark Action Girl}}s: They are '''not''' slouches when it comes down to a fight, Koan especially, who has gone toe-to-toe with Sailor Mars and managed to cripple the Guardians in a fight.
278	* DarkIsEvil: Especially in the manga. Never mind their allegiance with the Black Moon, but most of the sisters in the manga specialized in the occult. Koan predicted the future and specialized in telling girls they would die young, Berthier was a dowser, and Calaveras was a channeler who spoke with her sister's spirits after they died.
279	* DrivenToSuicide: In the '90s anime:
280	** Koan is ordered to kill herself by Rubeus, but it fails due to the intervention of the other Sailor Guardians.
281	** After failing to capture Sailor Mercury, Berthier resorts to freezing herself to death, taking everyone else with her in the process. Fortunately for Berthier, Koan intervenes.
282	** Petz attempts a RedemptionEqualsDeath in order to stop the mess she'd created with her stick, but her sisters forgive her already and prevent this.
283	* DubNameChange: Their names were changed to Catzi, Bertie, Avery and Prizma. Catzi is the oldest, by the way.
284	* EtTuBrute: In the '90s anime, they are understandably shocked when Rubeus betrays them one by one.
285	* FireIceLightning: Koan uses fire, Berthier uses ice (or water in the manga) and Petz uses lightning. Calaveras is the odd one out, as she's Sailor Venus' counterpart.
286	* FlatCharacter: In the manga, where they're MonstersOfTheWeek.
287	* FourGirlEnsemble: And in their case, FourIsDeath.
288	* GirlyGirl: Every single one of them, at least in the anime.
289	* HeelFaceTurn: In the '90s anime, all of the sisters get purified by Sailor Moon as humans.
290	* InconsistentSpelling: Cooan or Kooan? Beruche or Berthier? Calaveras is an exception: she's named after a gemstone named after Calaveras County California.
291	* LoveRedeems: Also in the anime. After Koan has her HeelFaceTurn, she helps Berthier have hers, and then Calaveras and finally Petz comes to the other side.
292	* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The four girls serve under Rubeus.
293	* ThePsychoRangers: They're 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.
294	* RedemptionEarnsLife: By the end of ''R'', the sisters repent their wicked ways after being purified.
295	* ShadowArchetype: Befitting their [[ThePsychoRangers psycho ranger motif]], each Specter Sister serves as a dark reflection for their Guardian counterparts in the 90s adaptation.
296	** Just like Jupiter, Petz was heavily impacted after being dumped by a former love. But while Jupiter is inspired to find another guy as great as her Senpai, Petz closed off her heart while showing nothing but hatred for love and men in general.
297	** Calaveras shares Venus' high self-esteem and charismatic personality. The main difference is that Calaveras has no humility and her esteem borders on outright arrogance.
298	** While Mercury is quite humble when it comes to completing academic challenges, Berthier is driven to win at everything while showing no mercy towards her opponents. It also doesn't help that Berthier is in the company of people who only care about her successes while Mercury has loved ones who support her for her wins and losses.
299	** Koan is the outlier as she actually reflects [[spoiler:Yuuichirou Kumada instead of Sailor Mars. Like the street rat, she also harbors one-sided devotion for someone she admires and is willing to get hurt to prove herself to Rubeus. Unlike with Yuuichirou who's accepted that his love for Rei may never come true but is at least respected by the princess he admires, Koan is in absolute denial and won't accept the truth of Rubeus being more horrible then she envisioned]].
300	* SparedByTheAdaptation: They all get killed off in the manga, while Moon purifies them in the anime.
301	* ThemeNaming: Petzite, calaverite, berthierite and kooankou (kermesite) are also minerals.
302	* TwoSiblingsInOne: Four, actually, in the manga, where Calaveras channels the spirits of her three sisters after their deaths.
303	* 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 HeelFaceTurn, Berthier even admits to the Sailor Guardians that she has no real idea of the full scope of the Black Moon Clan's plans.
304	* VainSorceress: The four of them take excessive pride in how they look. They always taunt each other about not looking young (the eldest sister, Petz, is the most usual butt of jokes) and apply make-up to their pretty faces when off-duty (and sometimes on-duty). After their {{Heel Face Turn}}s, they run a cosmetic shop.
305	* VillainousBreakdown: Each of the girls has one before their {{Heel Face Turn}}s in the '90s anime, 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 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 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.
306	* WouldHurtAChild: Both versions. They have no qualms about killing Chibi-Usa, and [[spoiler:Koan kills a little girl in the manga]].
307	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: In the '90s anime, the sisters are abandoned by Rubeus in various manners before their HeelFaceTurn:
308	** First, Rubeus combines it with YouHaveFailedMe when he orders Koan to kill herself with his space-time bomb after failing to kill Chibi-usa, but the other Guardians destroy it causing Koan's VillainousBreakdown.
309	** Calaveras and Petz turn on Berthier once [[BigDamnHeroes Tuxedo Mask intervenes]] in the latter's chess match with Sailor Mercury, forcing her to be almost DrivenToSuicide.
310	** During Calaveras and Petz's battle with the Sailor Guardians, the former says this verbatim to Koan and Berthier and asks Petz to kill them. Unfortunately for Calaveras, she ends up on the receiving end when Petz, who has become AxCrazy from the stick, blasts her with Dark Thunder along with Berthier and Koan.
311	** Petz ends up being the last to be abandoned by Rubeus, who uses her stick to create a black hole.

323	* BerserkerTears: Koan in the '90s anime when Rubeus [[YouHaveFailedMe abandons her]], sending her into a frenzy in which she attacked Moon, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter.
324	* CatsAreMean: Or rather cat-themed villains. Koan's distinct features are the two tufts in her hair which resemble cat ears, and her nails which she uses as claws.
325	* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Koan has the fair skin down but has more dark blue/indigo hair and Petz has very dark green hair.
326	* FortuneTeller: In the manga and ''Crystal'', she posed as a fortune-telling student to recruit people to the Black Moon.
327	* KillItWithFire: Like her GoodCounterpart Rei, she fights with fire powers.
328	* LoveMakesYouEvil: In the anime, Koan is in love with SmugSnake Rubeus and seeks for his approval. He only cares about using her for his plans.

330	* NewTransferStudent: Her cover in the manga and ''Crystal'' was posing as a new student at Rei's school named Koan Kurozaki.
331	* 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 and blasts him with Dark Fire.

342	* AffablyEvil: Berthier is always calm and does bad things under Rubeus's orders.
343	* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Once the Sailor Guardians foil Berthier's plans in the anime, she undergoes a VillainousBreakdown and uses her Dark Water Full Power technique to freeze herself to death, taking everyone else down with her.
344	* DowsingDevice: Berthier uses a pendulum made from a piece of the Malefic Black Crystal as one. It's used extensively during her chess matches to help determine where to move her pieces. When it stops responding, [[OhCrap Berthier immediately realizes that Ami will checkmate her on the next turn.]]
345	* AnIcePerson: Berthier had freezing powers in the anime, likely to amp up the fact that she was Mercury's EvilCounterpart as she appeared in the season where Mercury got her own freezing attacks.
346	* IKnowWhatYouFear: Berthier uses these tactics on Ami in an attempt to make her lose the match of chess.
347	* ILied: Ami wins the match of chess, but Berthier does not return Mars on account of her having more pawns in the metaphorical sense.
348	* LeotardOfPower: In the manga Berthier wears a sky blue leotard and matching thigh-high boots. In the 90s anime, it's more of a swimsuit.
349	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After Koan defects, Berthier becomes conflicted, and as a result this drives her to become more erratic, ruthless, mean-spirited and ultimately depressed, which is a far cry from her earlier AffablyEvil personality.
350	* SmartPeoplePlayChess: In the anime, Berthier can hold her own against Ami in the game.
351	* 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 and [[TakingYouWithMe the Sailor Guardians]] to death.
352	* TakingYouWithMe: In the '90s anime, Berthier uses Dark Water Full Power to kill herself, dragging the Sailor Guardians with her.
353	* 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.

364	* EasilyForgiven: In ''R'', 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.
365	* ForYourOwnGood: In ''R'', Koan and Berthier tell Calaveras that Rubeus will abandon her just like what happened to them, even saying the trope name word-for-word. Their pleas fall on deaf ears when [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Calaveras no longer deems Koan and Berthier useful in their plans]].

383	* BeamOWar: Engages in one with Jupiter in ''Crystal'' [[spoiler:Jupiter loses.]]
384	* TheComicallySerious: Petz isn't light-hearted and funny like her sisters, and this seriousness tends to be the reason behind the humor of every comedic moment she receives, such as how terrible she is at being a saleswoman due to scaring away customers.

393	* PsychoElectro: Petz can use her lightning abilities to overpower enemies. In ''R'', Rubeus gives her a {{MacGuffin}} stick to amplify her powers, making her more insane to the point that she fries her own sisters with Dark Thunder. It only takes a combined attack from the Sailor Guardians to snap her out of it.
394	* PsychoticSmirk: She briefly smirks upon using Dark Thunder with her {{MacGuffin}} to zap her own sisters and reveal her ultimate plan to become the Black Moon Clan's leader in ''R''.
395	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: In ''R'', Petz decides to make amends for her actions by jumping into the black hole created by Rubeus from the staff she wielded, but it doesn't work out thanks to her reformed sisters and the Sailor Guardians.
396	* 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.

412	----
413	* CreepyTwins: Two identical, ghostly men who serve to rewrite Tokyo's history for the worse.

416	* LongHairedPrettyBoy: They each have long hair and are quite attractive.
417	* MeaningfulName: Their names are chemical terms and foreshadow their complex molecular attacks.

428	Chibi-Usa's BrainwashedAndCrazy older form, corrupted by her loneliness and self-pity into becoming Wiseman's last and most loyal follower.
429	----
430	* BattleAura: In the ''Crystal'' anime she has a black aura around her.
431	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: She is actually Chibi-Usa, but mind raped into believing that no one loved her.
432	* BrokenBird: In the anime, she claims that her parents abandoned her and that her Luna-P is her only friend. In a subversion, this is because she has been brainwashed into believing she had no friends and that she was abused by her parents. Once she's released, she returns to her non-broken and much more cheerful self.
433	* DarkMagicalGirl: In the 90's anime where she's deeply hurt by what her BrainWashing makes her believe about her parents and snaps at the whole world for it.
434	* ADarkerMe: Basically, an older and evil version of a Chibi-Usa who's been mentally abused by Wiseman and brainwashed into following him.
435	* TheDragon: She becomes Wiseman's right-hand woman once Diamond's usefulness has been spent.
436	* DubNameChange: In the original English dub, her name is "Wicked Lady".
437	* EvilCounterpart: To Sailor Moon.
438	* FakeMemories: One of the keys to morph Chibi-Usa into Black Lady is having her {{mind rape}}d through this. The other is forcibly infusing her with Dark Energy.
439	* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: In ''Crystal'', Wiseman refers to her as the queen of the Black Moon.
440	* IJustWantToBeLoved: In the '90s anime, Chibi-Usa is made to believe that nobody in her life truly loved her and they all 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 mockingly refers to her as a "love-starved rabbit."
441	* MoreThanMindControl: In the manga and ''Crystal'' Wiseman exploits Chibi-Usa's deep frustration from being stuck in a body and mind of a powerless nine-year old for 900+ years, jealousy of her mother, and selfish desire to have ''someone'' all for herself, rather than just stuffing her full of FakeMemories. [[spoiler: [[DespairEventHorizon The tipping point of despair]] for Chibi-Usa was realizing that even Pluto, her best friend, has someone else in her life, namely her UnrequitedLove for King Endymion; and accordingly she comes back to her senses after seeing the dying Pluto reach out to her.]]
442	* MorphWeapon: Uses Luna-P as one in the '90s anime, transforming it into a ParasolOfPain and other impromptu weapons.
443	* 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.]]
444	* PlotRelevantAgeUp: She's Chibi-Usa, only brainwashed and magically aged up thanks to Wiseman. It's only temporary though: she turns back to normal upon being freed of the brainwashing (by either [[spoiler: witnessing Pluto's HeroicSacrifice]] in the manga, or [[spoiler: through [[IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight her parents' combined efforts]] ]] in the anime. That said, in the manga she ends up older then she started (though not as old as Black Lady, though she'll get there one day, eventually dropping the Small from her title according to Helios's visions). This is significant because Chibi-Usa was [[NotGrowingUpSucks frustrated]] she had been stuck at the age of five for 900 years.
445	* PsychopathicWomanchild: 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 [[ParentalIncest 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 the false implanted memories that spurns on her hatred is that nobody cared enough to celebrate her birthday.
446	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Her dress is red and black, and she's pretty darn evil.
447	* TakingYouWithMe: In the 90's anime Wiseman needs Black Lady to channel the full power of the Malefic Black Crystal into her body in order to completely destroy the earth. When the Sailor Guardians point out that channelling so much dark energy will kill her Black Lady states that she's fine with that since she would rather die then live in a world where nobody loves her.
448	* ThatWomanIsDead: She 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.
449	-->"Wiseman has given me a new name and a better life as Black Lady. I am ''not'' Chibi-Usa."
450	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: In the anime, though this is part of Wiseman's plot.

453	[[folder:Droids]]
454	!!Droids
455	[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/droids_6.jpg]]
456	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: The Droids from the first anime had different skin colors. And in an unconventional twist, three of them (Avocadora, Marzipan, and Udering) have brown skin colors.
457	* HatePlague: In the original anime. Through their own Dark Energy or by the products they offer, they can corrupt Juuban's citizens into becoming hateful, aggressive, spiteful or just plain violent.
458	* IconicItem: A recurring element found in each Droid is an octagonal gemstone with the Black Moon sigil. It's often the last thing that remains after they're ReducedToDust.
459	* MindRape: Akumuda, Jakoku and Giwaaku use mental manipulation to attack Sailor Moon, Chibi-usa and Mercury respectively.
460	* {{Mooks}}: In the manga and ''Crystal'' they're just this, and we're treated to the Sailor Guardians casually dispatching dozens of them bare-handed, Minako and Makoto sometimes doing it even without transforming.
461	* MythologyGag: In the anime, they dissolve into sand when killed, since in the manga that's what they're stated to be made from.
462	* OhCrap: They usually get one when they realize they’re about to be hit by Sailor Moon's attack.
463	* PokemonSpeak: Several Droids repeat their own name when they're revealed though most are capable of normal speech.
464	* 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. Except for Jakoku, who kind of shreds into nothingness instead.
465	* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: In the first anime especially.
