Should We Expect Season 4 Of ‘Sailor Moon Crystal’?
Well, looking back at how season 3 ended, the three main characters, Chibiusa, Mamoru, and Usagi, were witnessing an eclipse. The show ended when the three main characters were witnessing the eclipse, and one of the girls heard a bell ringing, leaving fans wondering about it. This, in a way, also hinted about the possibility of the fourth season. However, there hasn’t been any information about the renewal of the show for the fourth season.
Also, going with what has been going on the internet, and according to the official website of ‘Sailor Moon,’ the fourth arc of the Sailor Moon manga, which is called ‘Dream,’ and which features the Dead Moon Circus and major power-ups for our heroes, along with many shots in the arm of Silver Millenium era mythology, will come in the form of a feature film series that will have two parts. The first part of the film series was initially set to be released on September 11, 2020. However, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the first part ended up premiering on January 8, 2021, in Japan. Part 2 of the ‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal: The Movie’ was released just a month later, on February 11, 2021, in Japan. The two-part film premiered internationally on June 3, 2021, on Netflix. It is being reported that the two-part film series will replace season 4.
Who Might All Return In The Fourth Installment Of ‘Sailor Moon Crystal’?
The director of season 3, Chiaki Kon, helmed the films, along with the impeccable character designer Kazuko Tadano, who will surely be designing the characters for the fourth installment. As far as the characters are concerned, we can hope to see Sailor Venus / Minako Aino, Sailor Jupiter / Makoto Kino, Sailor Mars / Rei Hino, Sailor Mercury / Ami Mizuno, Tuxedo Mask / Mamoru Chiba, Luna, Sailor Moon / Usagi Tsukino again in the fourth season. Apart from them, we can expect Sailor Senshi characters to return, who are Sailor Ceres, Sailor Juno, Sailor Pallas, and Sailor Vesta. These characters were introduced back in ‘Sailor Moon Super S.’
What Could Be The Plot Of the Fourth Installment Of ‘Sailor Moon Crystal’?
‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal: The Movie’ covers the Dream arc, which is the penultimate story arc of the manga. So we can expect the fourth season to be a continuation of where the movies left off. We can expect the fourth season to cover the Sailor Stars arc, which follows Sailor Starlights as they take on Sailor Galaxia and her evil forces to find planet Kinmoku’s missing princesses. But Sailor Galaxia is more concerned about getting her hands on the most powerful Sailor Crystal, which would grant her incredible powers and make her invincible. With that power, she intends to conquer the entire galaxy, but her plans get even more sinister.
