Sailor Moon (1992–1997): Season 1, Episode 17 - Is Usagi a Model? The Focus of the Monster Camera - full transcript

Nephrite targets a gifted young photographer, while Usagi tries to achieve her dream of becoming a model.

You can't judge how beautiful a girl
really is by the way she looks.

You have to look at our hearts
and our love of justice.

If the photographer can't even
understand that...

In the name of the moon,
Sailor Moon will punish you!

I'm sorry I'm not straightforward,
I can say it in my dreams

My thoughts are about to short circuit,
I want to see you right now

Moonlight that makes me want to cry,
midnight that keeps me from calling

Because I'm so innocent, what should
I do? The heart is a kaleidoscope

Guided by the light of the moon

We will meet again and again

I count the sparkle of constellations
to foretell the future of my love

We were born in the same land,
miracle romance

I believe in it, miracle romance

I'm Usagi Tsukino. I don't look like
a super heroine, but I am!

As you know, I transform myself
by using a peculiar brooch

and fight against bad guys.

I'm the sailor warrior of love
and justice, Sailor Moon!

And my friends are the smart
and sweet Ami Mizuno,

and a slightly quick-tempered
psychic girl, Rei Hino.

Both of them are so dependable,
I feel like I'll fall behind.

But anyway, I just have to do my best!

Is Usagi a Model?
The Focus of the Monster Camera

Lunch time! Lunch time!
It looks so good!

Let's eat!

Wow, they're so pretty! These are
wonderful photographs!

Wow, this is amazing!

These pictures were taken
by a junior high student!

What?! No way! He goes to Gohongi

Ami! Big news! Big news!
X minus Y times pi R squared...

Ami! Big news! Big news!

Look, look, this boy!

He's a student at a school

near the T. A. School for Girls
that Rei goes to!

I know that.

This is no time to be acting so calm!

We have someone famous in the area!

Come on, let's go! Let's go together
to get his autograph!

I have cram school to
go to after school.

Sheesh, Ami! All you do is study!

You're wasting your precious youth.

Studying hard. That's what my
precious youth is about.

This is pointless.

Excuse me, please let me
take your picture.

Congratulations!

Please.

Mr. Shinokawa, can you
tell me how you feel

about receiving the highest honor
in Japanese Pictures?

I feel great!

So, will you keep taking more
scenic pictures?

Yes, sort of...

There he is! It's Kijin Shinokawa!

Kijin!

Stop it!

Don't act like a groupie!

Don't act like a groupie!

What?! What's wrong with asking for
an autograph from a celebrity?!

So, you can appreciate his art?

I'm just saying, if you're not
interested in photography,

don't make such a fuss just because a
famous photographer is in the area!

It's none of your business
who I ask for an autograph!

Excuse me, please stop.

Excuse me, please stop.

The evening light changes quickly.

Now's my chance!

Be careful.

Yes, thank you!

I'm a huge fan of yours.

I hope you keep up the good work!

Okay.

The stars know everything.

O Sirius, the star of evil shining
in the dark sky...

Kijin Shinokawa, whom
the star points to,

is about to attain his
highest energy level.

By photographing numerous
young women,

his energy level will increase.

Shinokawa

I can feel my imagination
getting really fired up!

Art is explosive!
I don't care who they are.

I just want to take explosive
pictures of girls!

The next model could be you!

You could be the next model
to be photographed

by the talented photographer,
Kijin Shinokawa!

Oh, I'd love to be photographed!

Hey, Usagi, we got a new
communication device!

I'm going to become a model!

I already gave Ami and Rei theirs.

Then I'll contact Ami and tell her
I'm going to be a model!

Oh, dear...

What is it, Usagi?

Guess what, Ami? I'm thinking
about becoming a model.

Usagi, you shouldn't use the
communication device like this!

Anyway, I'm in the middle of a
math problem right now. Sorry.

Oh, she hung up.
Fine, then, I'll talk to Rei!

I'm just saying, if you're not
interested in photography,

don't make such a fuss just because a
famous photographer is in the area!

She's going to make fun of me
if I call her. I just know it.

Forget it.

A model? With that face?!

What's your problem?!

There is no way!
What's your problem?!

There is no way!

Besides, you need more than
good looks and a good figure
to be a model.

You have to be smart, too!

I'll study hard from now on!

No way! You hate studying
and you're stupid, Usagi!

He'll just say,

Stupid
Rejected

Stupid
Rejected
"Sorry, you're not good enough!"

"Sorry, you're not good enough!"

Anyway, you'll just get disqualified
during the first selection stage

where you submit your photo.

Mom, Shingo's so mean to me!

Oh, but I think Shingo's
actually pretty right.

My family is so cruel.

Both my mom and kid brother
are merciless!

Crown

Crown
Cheer up, Usagi!

Cheer up, Usagi!

You should never give up
before you start!

The most important thing is
to challenge yourself!

You're the only one who
supports me, Motoki.

Motoki is right.

Well, you'll probably fail anyway,

but no matter the outcome, the
important thing is to participate.

I didn't ask for your opinion!

Both men and women have got
the wrong idea, lately.

They assume they've become beautiful,
if they pretty themselves up.

A girl's beauty isn't limited
to her looks.

Then what else counts?

It's what's inside! A kind heart

and the guts to carry out
what she thinks is right!

Guts? For a girl?

That's right!
Well, you don't have either, though.

Why, of course, I don't!

Besides, this guy just wants to
photograph young girls,

no matter who they are!

If that's his approach to photography,

this Kijin Shinokawa
must be a second...

no, he must be a
third-rate photographer.

That's enough! I don't even want
to see your face anymore!

Mamoru, she's a young lady. You
shouldn't treat her like a little kid.

I know that,

but we always end up fighting
every time we talk.

I guess we just don't get along.

Hey, what are you doing?

Well...

Oh! I know.

You're wondering if you got
an acceptance notice

from the first screening.

Eek!

You're so stupid!

I told you there's no way
you'll get accepted!

You got rejected during the photo
selection stage for sure!

Shut up! Go away!

Usagi, there's mail for you.

It's finally here!

It's probably just junk mail anyway.

I did it! I passed the first screening!

Look! It says to come to
New Japan Hotel tomorrow

because they're doing a
photo shoot by the pool!

Accepted
Acceptance Notice
Miss Usagi Tsukino
You have passed the first screening.
The photo shoot will be at the New
Japan Hotel on July 4th.
How about that?!

How about that?!

A-e-i-o-u!

Raw wheat, raw rice, raw eggs.

Usagi, what are you doing?

Practicing to be a model!

Don't ask me stupid questions!

I have to practice singing, too!

Rabbit, rabbit, what are you
looking at when you hop...

It sounds terrible!

I think this'll be the perfect dress
for tomorrow. Oh, yeah!

They said I need to bring a swimsuit.

I'm pretty sure it's in this drawer.

Moths ate into it and
it's full of holes!

New Japan Hotel

Kijin Shinokawa
Photo Session Hall

Wow! So many people!

Art is explosive!

Everyone, please go to your assigned
rooms and wait there!

I don't want to be disturbed while
I'm taking pictures, so don't peep!

Everyone come in at the
appointed time. Got it?!

Japan Pictures Winner
Kijin Shinokawa Photo Session
Yes!

Yes!

I have a bad feeling about this.

What do you mean?

Kijin Shinokawa is acting completely
different than before.

All artists tend to be a bit weird.

Besides, there's just something wrong
about you getting accepted.

Luna!

Oh, Usagi!

My, so you were accepted, too?

I can't believe this.
Both Naru and Ms. Haruna...

It's important for a model
to always smile.

Did I gain a little weight?

Hey, Usagi. You should also change
into your swimsuit soon.

Oh, yeah...

Didn't you bring one?

I'm already in it.

Then, why don't you take
your clothes off?

Yeah...
Then, why don't you take
your clothes off?

Yeah...

Oh, it's cute!

I tied ribbons in all the moth holes.

I still think something is fishy.

Art is explosive!

If I feel something, I get closer
and boom! Take the picture!

I'm such a genius when it comes
to taking pictures!

What's going on?!

All the girls...

Usagi, we're in trouble!

All the girls Kijin Shinokawa
photographed just disappeared!

What kind of nonsense is that?

I'm not kidding!

This must be one the
Dark Kingdom's evil plots!

Please contact Ami and Rei!

Oh, shush! I'm busy right now.

Oh, really? Then I'll tell everyone
about your swimsuit!

Okay, I get it!

Usagi, what did you get?

Oh, it's nothing!

I definitely gained weight.

Oh, Ami.

I'm at the New Japan Hotel for
a photo shoot right now.

Come see me in my moment of glory!

Wrong! Something's about to happen!
Come see me in my moment of glory!

Wrong! Something's about to happen!

Come here right away with Rei!

Usagi, it's our turn.

I have definitely gained weight!

Okay, let's go!

Wait!

Usagi!

Oh, no!

Luna, I'll never forgive you!

Come back here!

Hey! Stop right there, Luna!

Oh, I'm the only one that
won't be photographed.

I'm a genius!

They disappeared!

I told you so!

This is terrible! Let's go, Luna!

Kijin, what did you do to everybody?

Art is self expression!
I don't care who she is.

I'm going to snap pictures of girls!
Boom! Boom!

You're wrong!

What did you say?

You don't care who it is, as long
as she's a young girl?

Anyone who takes photographs
with an attitude like that

is a third-rate photographer!

She's just repeating what Mamoru said!

You're supposed to be a photographer

who understands the
beauty in this world!

Please wake up!

Back off!

Ouch!

Are you okay, Usagi?

Now, transform into Sailor Moon!

Moon Prism Power Makeup!

You can't judge how beautiful a girl
really is by the way we look.

You have to look at our hearts
and our love of justice.

Who are you?!

I'm the sailor warrior of love
and justice, Sailor Moon!

Monster, I know you've possessed
Kijin! Come out now!

Oh! You're beautiful!

You're being controlled by
a monster! At this rate,

all your passionate energy will
be taken by the monster!

Sailor Moon Kick!

Hang in there!

Sailor Moon. I am Cameran, and
Kijin's energy will be mine!

Take this!

No way!

Sailor Moon, be careful!
If Cameran takes your picture,

you'll be trapped inside
the photograph!

I don't wanna be trapped!

Watch out, Sailor Moon!

Oh, Luna! Where are you?!

She's right here.

Luna! Kijin!

You're terrible... You're terrible!

Sailor Moon.

I'll make sure to get you this time!
Take my shutter attack!

Stop right there!

Sailor Mercury! Sailor Mars!

Bubble

Spray!

Monster, I will seal your
evil powers away!

Begone, Evil Spirit
Monster, I will seal your
evil powers away!

Begone, Evil Spirit

Begone, Evil Spirit
Rin, Pyo, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu,
Zai, Zen. Begone, evil spirit!

Impertinence! Such petty tricks
will not work on me!

What's going on?

Sailor Mercury! Sailor Mars!

I will get you now!

Sailor Moon, be careful!

If Cameran takes your picture, you'll
be trapped inside the photograph!

If the camera captures you, you'll
be turned into a picture! Okay!

It's too late for you now!

What?!

I'm being trapped inside the camera?!
I cannot disappear!

Monster, Cameran, I won't forgive you!

What?!

Moon Tiara Action!

I've had enough of photo shoots!

The star of evil has disappeared.

Nephrite, it seems that
your plan has failed.

Who's there?

Zoisite?!

I am sure Queen Beryl will be very
happy to hear of your performance.

What about you? Have you found
the legendary Silver Crystal,

that will wake our great ruler?

You should properly fulfill your duties
rather than worry about others.

Countless beings possess energy
on this Earth! Countless!

Where is Usagi?

She locked herself in her room.

Maybe she made a fool of herself
at the photo session.

She's probably too embarrassed
to face us.

I have decided to stop taking
pictures for a while.

How come? When will you
start shooting again?

Someone taught me a lesson.

That a woman's true beauty is
not about how she looks.

It is about what's in her heart
and her love of justice.

When I truly understand
what that means,

I will take up my camera once again.

Someone taught you a lesson? Who?

A wonderful girl.

I wish Usagi would become a
wonderful girl like that, too.

I couldn't agree more.

That'd be impossible for stupid Usagi!

In my dream, you and I were together

Protected by the stars

When we were friends,
it didn't bother us

And we casually talked to each other

But there was a moment when
I noticed only you

I want to become prettier
right here and now

Something changes when
you fall in love

I close my eyes and check
to make sure

I want to convey the thrill I felt
when we held each other
