Nemesis
This group is led by Prince Demando, who was unknowingly being used as a puppet by the Death Phantom. Their main goal is to take over the future world of Crystal Tokyo. But since Crystal Tokyo with its impermeable border around it is impossible to completely besiege, they traveled to the past to destroy the Tokyo of the past so Crystal Tokyo will cease to exist. They also search for Chibiusa, because she has the Silver Crystal of the future, and if they destroy both Silver Crystals (past and future), their Dark Crystal will be able to destroy the world without any hindrance.
Leaders
Death Phantom/WiseMan
Death Phantom who calls himself Wiseman, is an immortal form of Chaos from the future. In the English version of the anime, he is just called "The Wiseman" and is said to serve the Doom Phantom, a dangerous being who supposedly created the universe and now wishes to destroy the world he created through the powers from the "Dark Gate". In the anime, the Death Phantom is represented by a skull in a black hooded robe, and near the end of the series it is revealed that Wiseman is in fact Death Phantom.
In the manga, Death Phantom was a human who lived in the kingdom of Crystal Tokyo, and possessed dark powers which he used to wreak havoc upon the citizens of Crystal Tokyo. These powers were death hands, able to reach great distances to attack people, and his evil vision, capable of controlling others with a glance. He was banished to the barren tenth planet, Nemesis, by Neo-Queen Serenity. Death Phantom merged his spirit with the planet and became one with Nemesis. He cloaked his decayed and crumbling human body, and went to Earth in order to look for discontent. He convinced residents that the 30th century utopia of Crystal Tokyo was an abomination against nature, as all of its citizens were given immortality through the power of the Silver Crystal. Thus the Black Moon Clan was born. Calling himself the Wiseman, Death Phantom led them in an attack on Crystal Tokyo, and then into Sailor Moon's past to obtain the Silver Crystal and have his revenge. Death Phantom cares little for his pawns; he manipulates them, and even kills Rubeus in the manga and Saphir in the anime. He is also responsible for condemning Esmeraude to a dark-void and killing Prince Demando in the anime. When faced with a new conduit for power, in the form of Chibiusa, Wiseman makes her his Black Lady. When Demand comes to his senses and blasts the Wiseman, the decayed body shatters, but Black Lady only laughs and reveals that Wiseman is Nemesis. With all of his followers gone, and Black Lady reverted to Sailor Chibi Moon, he creates a dark energy swirl to kill the Sailor Senshi. Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon attack the planet with a Double Moon Princess Halation and he is destroyed. In the manga only, he appears in a flashback during the final story arc telling Sailor Galaxia about the Galaxy Cauldron.
In the anime, Death Phantom approached Prince Demand when he was younger. The Black Moon Clan were the descendants of traitors exiled to Nemesis centuries before by Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion of Crystal Tokyo, and, posing as Wiseman, the Death Phantom manipulated the clan into gathering power for him, with the ultimate goal being the opening of the Dark Gate. He promised he could give them the power and ability to go to Earth and appeal to Neo-Queen Serenity for amnesty for the citizens of Nemesis, who had committed no crimes themselves. Wiseman's influence warped the minds of his pawns until they carried out his plan for revenge and the ultimate destruction of the planet Earth. The Wiseman counsels Rubeus during his mission for a long time, but is unconcerned about his death. He humiliates Emeraude when she comes to him asking to be the queen of Nemesis, and brings about her transformation into a dragon and, ultimately, her doom at the hands of Sailor Moon. He manipulates Chibiusa's childhood memories to make her into Black Lady. Wiseman kills Saphir when Saphir realizes that he and his brother have been lied to. He unintentionally kills Prince Demand when Demand uses his body to shield Sailor Moon against an oncoming energy-blade from Wiseman. In the end, Death Phantom is killed, but Nemesis and its remaining inhabitants survive.

2nd Command
Prince Demando
Prince Demand (Prince Diamond in the English dub) is the leader of all of Planet Nemesis in the 30th century.
In the manga, the Black Moon Clan were descendants of criminals and traitors who hated Crystal Tokyo. Prince Demand hated the people of Crystal Tokyo because he felt they were corrupt and that their long lifespans were blasphemous. Wiseman sought him out, convincing him to draw upon the power of the Black Crystal of Nemesis. Prince Demand formed a plan to go back in time before the influence of the Moon Kingdom began, using the power of the Black Crystal, to create a new history. In the Black Moon Clan's initial attack on Crystal Tokyo, the queen rushed out of the Crystal Palace in search of Chibiusa. Demand saw her and became obsessed. After comparing an angry look that Sailor Moon gave him with the one he received from Neo-Queen Serenity, Prince Demand realized they were the same person, and kidnapped Sailor Moon, bringing her back to Nemesis. Once she awoke he kissed her, but she slapped him and attempted to transform, only to discover that the dark energy on the planet absorbed her powers and made her unable to do so. She did, however, finally escape along with her friends, which caused the palace on Nemesis to collapse. Prince Demand realized that Wiseman was using him and turned on him. Saphir attacked him, and Demand was forced to kill his brother. He stole the Silver Crystal of the present from Sailor Moon and the one of the future from Black Lady, and attempted to bring them together to destroy the time-space continuum, but Sailor Pluto used her forbidden Time Stop attack and prevented it. After his plans failed, he attempted to kill Sailor Moon, but was killed when she and Tuxedo Mask combined their powers against him.
In the anime, Prince Demand's history is different. Born on a prisoners' planet, Prince Demand originally intended to reason with Neo-Queen Serenity, explaining that he and his people are descendants of criminals, not criminals themselves. Wiseman manipulates the young prince to be unforgiving to the people of Earth. During an attack on Crystal Tokyo, Prince Demand sees Neo-Queen Serenity and falls in love with her. He is fascinated with her eyes, and the anger they bore toward him during the glimpse they caught of each other. In the beginning of the New Silver Millennium, the people of the Black Moon Clan refused the purification offered by Neo-Queen Serenity at the formation of Crystal Tokyo, and were subsequently banished to the planet Nemesis. A manipulated Prince Demand led his people as they sought revenge on the people responsible for their banishment, despite the fact that he was infatuated with the queen. After seeing Wiseman kill Saphir however, Prince Demand's grief and hatred enables him to rebel against Wiseman. When Demand went to the past and encountered Sailor Moon, he recognized her as the past form of the future queen, kidnapped her, and dressed her up to suit him, but she was saved by Tuxedo Mask. When she and the other Sailor Senshi made a frontal assault on the forces of the Black Moon, he found her again and tried to use his powers to force her to love him, but his efforts failed. Sailor Moon implored Demand to see that Wiseman was manipulating him. Between what Sailor Moon said and what he remembered Saphir trying to tell him, Demand was then positive that Wiseman was using him. When Wiseman tried to kill Sailor Moon, Demand shielded her from Wiseman's damage. Though fatally injured, he mustered up enough strength to temporarily subdue Wiseman. Prince Demand begged Sailor Moon for forgiveness, later dying in her arms.

Saphir
Saphir (Sapphire in the English dub) is the alchemist of the Black Moon Clan, and the younger brother of Prince Demand. He is more cautious and rational than his companions. He is the only member of the Clan that does not wear earrings made from Black Crystal, despite having invented them.
In the manga, Saphir prefers to work with droids (the most minor of the clan's minions) over serving his unpredictable, easily swayed older brother. He even attempts to question the intentions of Wiseman, and the wisdom of Prince Demand in listening to everything he says. Prince Demand reacts violently to this, accusing him of wanting the power for himself. When Prince Demand kidnaps Sailor Moon and brings her to his castle on Nemesis, she stumbles into Saphir's laboratory, where he admits that their plans were insensible and that she was guiltless, but attempts to kill her. Saphir states that he wishes to kill her because he believes all conflict comes from her and the fearsome power of the Silver Crystal. This prompts Neo-Queen Serenity to activate Sailor Moon's crystal, allowing her to transform even on Nemesis. The power pouring out from Sailor Moon causes Nemesis to become unstable. Saphir and Prince Demand are rescued by Black Lady, who leads them to Wiseman's castle. Wiseman attacks them with a mind controlling spell and loans Saphir the use of his "Demon Hands". When it is revealed that Demand's "Evil Eye" rendered him immune to Wiseman's spell, Saphir attacks him and is killed by his brother.
Saphir was portrayed more sympathetically in the anime version of Sailor Moon. A past relationship is alluded to between Saphir and the oldest Ayakashi sister, Petz, even though they are never in the same scene together in the manga. The English dub also implied that he has some kind of unrequited love for his brother, as seen when he talks with Esmeraud, herself obsessed with Prince Demand, about his jealous with Sailor Moon. In a flashback, Saphir recalls growing up on bleak Nemesis with his brother, who promised him that one day they would go to Earth and he would show him real flowers. Saphir overhears the Wiseman talking about how he is only using Prince Demand and the others for his own goals, and, barely escaping, Saphir steals the power of the Black Crystal and takes it to the Earth of the past. He is reunited with Petz, and aided by the Sailor Senshi, but Wiseman kills him before he can warn his brother about the coming treachery. After he dies, the bandage on his head falls off, showing that his Black Moon symbol has disappeared and his firm transition to the side of good. Prince Demand carries his brother's body away.

Esmeraulde
Esmeraude (Emerald in the English dub) is the second of the Black Moon Clan to appear. She is a selfish and vain woman who tries to emanate a goddess-like appearance by wearing an elegant, tight-fitting dress along with opera-length gloves and knee-high stiletto boots. She has a distinctive laugh, loud and piercing, and is the most comedic member of the Black Moon.
In the manga, Esmeraude's obsession with Demand still exists. After failing to kill the Sailor Senshi using her subordinates Chiral and Achiral, she attacks Chibiusa in the 30th century, after taking off her gloves to reveal her monster-like hands. After trying to strangle Chibiusa, she is stopped by Sailor Venus. Sailor Moon attempts to use Moon Princess Halation on Esmeraude, but it doesn't work. Esmeraude uses her multiple hands to strangle Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus, and Tuxedo Mask. When King Endymion's spirit appears behind Tuxedo Mask, allowing him to use Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber, Tuxedo Mask uses his new power to kill Esmeraude, freeing the other Sailor Senshi.
In the anime, Esmeraude visits Rubeus telling him that Prince Demand is getting impatient with Rubeus' failures and plans to kick Rubeus out of his services. Esmeraude eventually succeeds Rubeus passing up the chance to save his life from his exploding spaceship upon stating that he has failed for the last time. She is infatuated with Prince Demand, who is obsessed with Sailor Moon. Consumed by her jealousy and greed, Esmeraude goes to Wiseman to demand Prince Demand and ruin Sailor Moon. He presents her with a magical tiara which, he claims, will make her the queen of Crystal Tokyo. Suspecting a catch, she accepts the gift and is transformed into a 'queen'. Her power increases and she believes Demand will be all hers. Then, she becomes overwhelmed by the dark powers and changes into an evil dragon. She attacks the Crystal Palace while the Sailor Senshi face her, unaware that the monster is Esmeraude. She attacks, but at the last moment, Sailor Moon defeats the dragon. Esmeraude reappears as the queen she wanted to be, surrounded by a heavenly glow, but a dark void opens up underneath her. Unable to save herself, Esmeraude slips into the dark vortex, and vanishes. She whispers Demand's name after her disappearance.

She whispers Demand's name after her disappearance.
Rubeus
Rubeus is the first member of the Black Moon Clan to appear in the 20th century. He is charged with finding a person codenamed "Rabbit", who had fled into the Tokyo of the past. Besides following the orders of Prince Demand and Wiseman, he leads his own set of minions, the Akashiya Sisters.
In the manga, he kidnaps Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Jupiter but fails to capture Sailor Venus. He is loyal to Prince Demand, appearing with him to taunt the captured Sailor Moon. He realizes that there is more to Wiseman than what he sees and he is killed by Wiseman when he confronts him.
In the anime, Rubeus arrives in the present in his spaceship to look for Chibiusa. He is the love interest to Kōan, the youngest, though the majority of the sisters are in love with him. Petz's love for Rubeus is more platonic than romantic. However, he does not return their feelings, and is in fact, using them as pawns. At one point, he even states to Wiseman (who warned him something bad will happen to Kōan) that she is a subordinate. He shows this when he gives Kōan a bomb to kill herself with, and later tries to kill all four sisters. Following the Ayakashi Sisters' reform, Rubeus is visited by Esmeraude who tells him that Prince Demand is getting impatient with Rubeus' failures and plans to kick Rubeus out of his services. After Esmeraude's visit, Rubeus kidnaps the Sailor Senshi and blackmails Sailor Moon into bringing the Silver Crystal in exchange for her friends. Sailor Moon comes to rescue them, and Rubeus takes her and Chibiusa aboard his spaceship. A battle ensues for the custody of the Sailor Senshi. Chibiusa destroys the crystal that controls his spaceship causing it to catch fire. After Sailor Moon attacks Rubeus, the Sailor Senshi are freed and they, Chibiusa, and Sailor Moon teleport away, leaving Rubeus onboard his burning ship. Rubeus is confronted by Esmeraude and begs her to take him back to the future. Esmeraude mockingly refuses and leaves Rubeus in the unstable spaceship saying he's failed too many times to be of any more use. The spaceship explodes killing Rubeus. In the end, his obsession with killing Chibiusa is his downfall. Esmeraude reports to Prince Demand and Wiseman that Rubeus was killed in battle, but never mentioned that she left him to die.

Black Lady
Black Lady (Wicked Lady in the dub) is the brainwashed form of Chibiusa. Wiseman comes across the lonely Chibiusa, who is trying to find her place in the 30th Century. He then combines her powers along with the powers of the Dark Crystal, and also manipulates her by twisting her memories of her family to bring out her dark-side, which triggers her transformation. As Chibiusa's dream is to become a beautiful lady like her mother, Black Lady's form is something like a femme fatale, almost the split copy of Neo Queen Serenity, but with a more cold and evil look opposed to the gentle look that Neo Queen Serenity usually has. Her purpose was different in both the anime and the manga. In the anime, Wiseman wanted to use her power to open the Dark Gate, which would flood the world with Dark energy, ultimatly destroying it. In the manga, she was just a warrior of Wiseman to be able to fight the Sailor Senshis.
Her history and personality differ between the manga and the anime. In the manga, she throws away the Luna-P after her transformation and derides it as a childish toy. She also uses her powers to brainwash and seduce her future father, Mamoru. When Sailor Pluto break one of her taboos and sacrifices herself in the process, she reaches out towards Black Lady, who was frozen on the ground and calls her real name, Chibiusa, before she dies. The shock of seeing her closest friend die was what frees her from the dark power of the Death Phantom and causes Chibiusa to power up into Sailor Chibi Moon for the first time. She also starts growing up then too.
In the anime, Black Lady hates her family and the Sailor Senshi and tries to kill them because she believes she is unloved. So when it was revealed that she could be destroyed and die when opening the Dark Gate because of the huge amount of energy flowing into her body, she said she didn't care, because no one would care if she died or not. She considers her toy, Luna-P, as her only friend, and just like Chibiusa, she uses it as her weapon when fighting. In the end before she could open the Dark Gate, Usagi and Mamoru combine their powers, which transforms Usagi into Neo Queen Serenity. She releases the power of the Silver Crystal and then restores Chibiusa's memories of the good times that she had with her family, making her remember that she was loved by everyone even if they weren't around as much, which reverts Black Lady back to the normal Chibiusa.

Akayashi Sisters
Petz
Petz (Prizma in the English versions) is the oldest of the four sisters.
In the manga, Petz is assigned "Code003: Operation Renew" - where she is to infect Tokyo with viruses and replace the weakened citizens with Droids. Makoto is infected by one of the viruses and passes out in her apartment, and awakens to her double trying to choke her. She transforms and attacks it as Sailor Jupiter, revealing it to be a droid. Petz then arrives in her UFO, expresses amusement that Jupiter is still alive, then swears vengeance for her two dead sisters. She and Jupiter fight, but Petz captures her inside of a tornado she summons using the Black Crystal. Petz watches Jupiter in the tornado and does not see the arrival of Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus, and she is killed from behind by Moon Princess Halation, though Rubeus still succeeds in kidnapping Jupiter.
In the anime, Petz often clashes with Calaveras, but the majority of both women's operations end up with them working together. She is very proud and is willing to step on others to achieve personal glory and power. She also appears bitter over a past relationship and reacts strongly when Calaveras teases her about it. After the betrayal of Kōan and Berthier, Rubeus gives her a stick that will infinitely increase her dark powers and instructs her to use it to kill the Sailor Senshi and reconvert her fallen sisters. He also warns her not to fail. The stick dramatically increases Petz's powers and also corrupts her personality, allowing her to quickly gain the upper hand against the Sailor Senshi. She then turns on Calaveras and tries to kill her along with the other two sisters. However, the Senshi regain the advantage and knock the stick away from her, reducing her power again. Rubeus then appears and reveals to Petz that he had actually expected Petz to fail; his goal was not for her to succeed, but to lure the Sailor Senshi out and sacrifice all four sisters to kill them. He then activates the stick's true power and it creates a massive time-vacuum that threatens to pull in everyone around it. Petz, no longer possessed and remorseful, decides that she has enough power in her body to destroy the stick and jumps into the vortex to sacrifice herself to stop it. However, she is stopped by her other three sisters who convince her that they still love her. After the vortex is destroyed by the Sailor Senshi, Petz is purified along with Calaveras. Over time, Petz becomes less callous and more compassionate. Petz and her sisters soon discover a wounded Saphir, whom Petz tends to even though she at first thinks he came to punish her sisters. It is then that Petz and Saphir are revealed to have been romantically involved, and that Saphir is the person who caused Petz to be embittered about men. After Saphir is killed by Wiseman, Petz senses his death and is heartbroken, but remembers how he smiled for her.

After the betrayal of Kōan and Berthier, Rubeus gives her a stick that will infinitely increase her dark powers and instructs her to use it to kill the Sailor Senshi and reconvert her fallen sisters. He also warns her not to fail. The stick dramatically increases Petz's powers and also corrupts her personality, allowing her to quickly gain the upper hand against the Sailor Senshi. She then turns on Calaveras and tries to kill her along with the other two sisters. However, the Senshi regain the advantage and knock the stick away from her, reducing her power again. Rubeus then appears and reveals to Petz that he had actually expected Petz to fail; his goal was not for her to succeed, but to lure the Sailor Senshi out and sacrifice all four sisters to kill them. He then activates the stick's true power and it creates a massive time-vacuum that threatens to pull in everyone around it. Petz, no longer possessed and remorseful, decides that she has enough power in her body to destroy the stick and jumps into the vortex to sacrifice herself to stop it. However, she is stopped by her other three sisters who convince her that they still love her. After the vortex is destroyed by the Sailor Senshi, Petz is purified along with Calaveras. Over time, Petz becomes less callous and more compassionate. Petz and her sisters soon discover a wounded Saphir, whom Petz tends to even though she at first thinks he came to punish her sisters. It is then that Petz and Saphir are revealed to have been romantically involved, and that Saphir is the person who caused Petz to be embittered about men. After Saphir is killed by Wiseman, Petz senses his death and is heartbroken, but remembers how he smiled for her.
Calaveras
Calaveras (Avery in the English versions) is the second oldest of the sisters and has the ability, much like Tuxedo Mask, of communing with spirits of the dead. Calaveras is the only sister in the manga who Rubeus appears to flirt with.
In the manga, she is the last sister to appear, and her mission is "Code004: Operation Rebirth." She is shown to have the power of channeling, and channels the spirit of Rubeus into Tokyo to brainwash the humans and change their allegiance from the White Moon to the Black Moon and to get them to destroy the Silver Crystal. When Sailor Venus confronts her at the channeling, Calaveras channels the three captive Sailor Senshi through Kotono, Asanuma, and Naru, as well as the spirits of her dead sisters, and has them use a Spirit Attack against Venus and holds her captive. However, because Rubeus was already injured by Tuxedo Mask, he is not able to collect Venus, and Calaveras is killed by Sailor Moon when she comes to rescue Venus.
In the anime, Calaveras is shown to be a petty woman who indulges in relentlessly teasing her other siblings, especially Petz. She also appears unwilling to do anything for herself. She never accepts a single mission and instead tags along on several of Petz's missions and also follows Petz on one occasion to steal credit for Berthier's final mission. Even her final mission is one of Petz's, in which the elder sister was asked to use a powerful stick to kill the Sailor Senshi and reclaim her now purified siblings Kōan and Berthier. While on the mission, Calaveras urges Petz to go ahead and destroy the Sailor Senshi, but Petz, corrupted by the stick, tries to kill everyone. Shocked by Petz's betrayal, Calaveras is shown pity by Sailor Moon and eventually comes to understand human love. She then tells the other Sailor Senshi about the stick's power. When Rubeus arrives and uses the stick to create a time-vacuum on the bridge, Calaveras stops Petz from falling into the vortex by catching her sister using her whip. After the Sailor Senshi destroy the stick, Calaveras accepts purification and becomes a normal human woman.

After the Sailor Senshi destroy the stick, Calaveras accepts purification and becomes a normal human woman.
Berthier
Berthier (Bertie in the English versions) is the second youngest sister. She fears Rubeus but has no love interest for him unlike her other sisters.
In the manga, Berthier is given the mission "Code002, Operation Remove" to kill the Sailor Senshi and capture Chibiusa. She disguises herself as a normal human and wows people with her dowsing abilities using a pendulum. When she sees Ami Mizuno find a leak in a pipe without using a pendulum, she deduces her identity as a Sailor Senshi. Skilled at chess, Berthier goes on television to challenge Ami to a chess match. At the match, she calls her "Sailor Mercury", and tries to use the Black Crystal to manipulate and capture her. A fight breaks out between Berthier, Mercury, Jupiter, and Moon, in which Berthier is shown to be powerful enough to deflect Mercury's Shine Snow Illusion attack. At the end, Berthier uses the water from a sewer to surround and choke Mercury, allowing Rubeus to abduct her. Berthier is then killed by Sailor Moon.
In the anime, Berthier has a very darkly playful personality, but is shown to have great respect for all of her siblings. She is the only one shown to be upset when Kōan is purified by the Silver Crystal. Much like her counterpart in Ami, she is also a strategist and is incredibly talented at chess, though she apparently also cheats. On her final mission, Berthier plays a deadly game of chess with Sailor Mercury, but her plan to freeze them all fails when Petz and Calaveras arrive and tell her they will claim credit for her success regardless of what it means for her. Momentarily distracted, she loses her chance at the killing blow against Sailor Mercury when Tuxedo Mask arrives and rescues her and the other Sailor Senshi. Her two older sisters then abandon her as a failure when Berthier turns to them for help. Distraught, Berthier first laughs off her loss, but the laughter turns into tears of hopelessness and rage as she uses her Dark Water power to freeze herself and everyone around her. However, a newly healed Kōan convinces her that she is still loved and has a second chance. Berthier relents in her suicidal gambit, and allows Sailor Moon to heal her. Later, she and Kōan, along with the Sailor Senshi, are able to convince their other two sisters to join them and become normal women.

Koan
Kōan (Catzi in the English versions) is the youngest of the sisters.
In the manga, Kōan tells Rubeus she feels someone like her that is kindred to fire and could be convinced to join the Black Moon. In her appearance, Kōan is shown to be strong enough to deflect Sailor Moon's tiara. Rubeus gives her "Code001, Operation Recruit" to convert humans to their cause. She poses as a student named Kurozaki Kōan at the T*A Girl's Academy where Rei Hino attends and becomes the leader of a paranormal club called the Black Moon. The leader of the other supernatural club on campus is disturbed by how cold her hands and eyes are, and a black saucer-shaped object flies away after she leaves. Rei later has a nightmare about Kōan using her powers to burn the body of a child. At the school's culture festival, she sets up a booth telling fortunes of how and when her clients will die, but when Rei appears, tells her that everyone must die, but those who follow the Black Moon will die better. After Rei uncovers droids disguised as nuns, she transforms into Sailor Mars and defeats them, at which point Kōan reveals herself. In the ensuing battle, she blasts Sailor Mars with fire, and, in retaliation, Sailor Moon and Tuxedo mask kill her using the Cutie Moon Rod. Mars, who was still stuck in Kōan's flames, is then abducted by Rubeus.
In the anime, Kōan, like all of her sisters, is very vain about her appearance to the point of swearing death upon anyone who smudges her make-up or ruins her hair, and she relies on her charms to get what she wants. She believes that she and Rubeus are in a relationship, and competes with her sisters for his love. However, upon getting him a gift of cologne, he cruelly crushes it in front of her and tells her that her next mission will be her last if she fails him. While trying to survey the Hikawa Shrine for the appearance of Chibiusa, she appears condescending of the relationship Rei and Yuuichiro possess and often compares them unfavorably to her perceived strong relationship with Rubeus. She later gets caught up in a discussion with Rei and Usagi, when Rei claims that the most important thing in a relationship is you believe in and love the other person, and Koan disagrees, claiming it only matters how much the other person loves you. Her beliefs are put to the test when Chibiusa finally arrives and Kōan goes to abduct her. Yuuichiro and Rei (as Sailor Mars) both get injured while trying to protect each other, which surprises Kōan because of how she had perceived the two of them before. She ultimately fails to capture Chibiusa, and Rubeus appears to evaluate her. She begs him for his help, believing their love will be enough, but he tells her he has no use for her anymore and that he never loved her. He gives her a time-bomb and tells her to kill herself and the Sailor Senshi, and then abandons her. Sailor Mars sees that Kōan is good at heart and begs her not to use the bomb. Before she can use it, the other Sailor Senshi arrive and knock the bomb away from her where it explodes harmlessly in the sky. Enraged that Rubeus abandoned her and the Sailor Scouts foiled her suicide attempt, Kōan snaps and attacks everyone in a blind rage, until Sailor Mars throws herself in front of Sailor Jupiter's knee to protect Kōan from getting hit, and convinces her that she's a good person that has been caught in a life of evil and that she deserves a second-chance. Sailor Moon then purifies her with the Silver Crystal and she becomes a normal human woman. She later talks her next oldest sister, Berthier, out of killing herself after she too is tossed away by her sisters and Rubeus, and later convinces Petz and Calaveras that they too are being used.
