Death Busters

The Death Busters (デスバスターズ) are a group of fictional characters in the Sailor Moon manga series written by Naoko Takeuchi. This group comprises the villains of the third major story arc, which is called the Infinity in the manga, Sailor Moon S in the first anime adaptation, and Death Busters in Sailor Moon Crystal. They are first introduced in chapter #27 "Infinity 1 – Premonition", originally published in Japan on July 7, 1994. In the Cloverway English adaptation, they are called the "Heart Snatchers".

Originally from the "Tau Ceti Star System" in another dimension, the Death Busters acquire human host bodies to act through with Kaolinite and Professor Tomoe as acting leaders. Based in Mugen Academy (無限学園), an elite high school built in the middle of Tokyo's Sankakusu District (三角州区), the Death Busters work to gather human souls which would prolong their dying homeworld. Their ultimate goal is the revival of their commander Mistress 9 so they can bring their master Pharaoh 90 to Earth and terraform it into a new home at the cost of the current life forms.

Professor Tomoe
Professor Souichi Tomoe (土萠 創一) is the leader of the Death Busters and Hotaru Tomoe's father. A genetic scientist forced out of the scientific community for his unethical experiments, he sold his findings to companies and bought the entire Sankakusu District to continue his research to create "Super Beings". But a fire occurs in Tomoe's apartment that killed his wife Keiko and gravely wounded his daughter Hotaru. Tomoe saves his daughter by outfitting her body with cybernetic limbs during a freak storm that brought the Death Busters to Earth, the aliens apparently attracted to his darkness. Witnessing his assistant be reborn as Kaolinite, Tomoe sold his soul to Pharaoh 90 and willfully discards his humanity by ingesting a Daimon Egg to become a hybrid as he began to build Mugen Academy while working to perfect the stability of Daimon/human hybrids. When Super Sailor Moon and the Outer Guardians arrive at his lab and dispatch his Daimon test subjects, Tomoe changes into his Daimon form Germatoid (ゲルマトイド). Sailor Moon is forced to kill him with her Rainbow Moon Heart Ache, Hotaru has briefly seen saying goodbye to her father while accepting that he died a long time ago after her mother's death.

In the first anime, Hotaru's injury and the Death Busters' arrival occur at the same time. Professor Tomoe's story is the same with the exception that he was forcefully possessed by Germatoid. Tomoe also survives the ordeal as Germatoid leaves his body and is destroyed by Sailor Uranus and Neptune, attempting to reach Hotaru. Following the final battle, Tomoe loses his memories as he is entrusted with his reborn daughter's care until the season premiere of Sailor Stars, when Setsuna Meioh comes to retrieve her, and after that, he is not seen again in the series.

Professor Tomoe appears in several musicals. In the Last Dracul arc, his body is possessed by an alchemist known as Dreadful Berserk (アンデッド・ベルセルク). Using Tomoe's laboratory, Berserk tries to create perfect homunculi in order to replace human beings; however, his first homunculi, the Death Mannetjes, turned out to be flawed creatures. Although Tomoe is possessed by Berserk, the latter shows concern for Hotaru. In Kessen / Transylvania no Mori (Kaiteiban) - Saikyou no Kataki Dark Cain no Nazo, the Amazoness Quartet, known as "Samael Quartet" in this revision, are homunculi created by Tomoe from Chibiusa's star seed.

Professor Tomoe is voiced by Akira Kamiya in Sailor Moon S and by Takuya Kirimoto in Crystal. In the Cloverway Inc. English adaptation produced in association with Optimum Productions, he is voiced by Jeff Lumby, and the Germatoid creatures are voiced by a range of actors including Tony Daniels, David Fraser, and Steven Bednarski. In the Viz Media English adaptation, he is voiced by Keith Silverstein. In the musicals, he has been portrayed by Shunsaku Yajima, Ryuuji Kasahara, Kaname Aoki, and Yuuki Kaon.

Kaolinite
Kaolinite (カオリナイト) is the Commander of the Witches 5 with the title of Magus (秘術師 / マグス, Magusu), named after the mineral of the same name. Originally Kaori Kuromine (黒峰カオリ), she was Tomoe's assistant before being infected with a Daimon Egg that consumes her humanity while pledging her loyalty to Pharaoh 90. Serving as Pharaoh 90's emissary, with access to Tairon Crystal, Kaolinite convinces Tomoe to offer himself and Hotaru to the Death Busters. Despite no longer being human, Kaolinite retained some of her former self like her infatuation with Tomoe. Posing as Mugen Academy's headmistress, communicating with Pharaoh 90 to relay his orders, Kaolinite directs the Witches 5 to deal with the Sailor Guardians and eventually take the Legendary Silver Crystal while also making attempts to prevent the awakening of Sailor Saturn whom she deemed a threat to her group. After the Witches 5 have all been killed and Mistress 9 had awakened, Kaolinite is given the task to kill the Sailor Guardians herself before the Outer Guardians intervene. This forces Kaolinite to assume her Daimon form prior to being destroyed by Super Sailor Moon's Rainbow Moon Heartache attack.

In the first anime adaptation, her role is changed to oversee the initial Death Buster attacks, Kaolinite seeks out the three Talismans to obtain the Legendary Holy Grail. Her Daimons having attacked Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Jupiter prior, Kaolinite targets Sailor Moon while deducing her identity and ends up appearing to fall to death from Tokyo Tower in the resulting battle. But Kaolinite survived, though she lost her memory and Tomoe placed her Hotaru's guardian. Kaolinite eventually regains her memories, stealing Chibiusa's Pure Heart to offer to Mistress 9 so she can win Tomoe's love. But Kaolinite, after Tomoe congratulated her, is killed off when she is thrown into an electrified wall by Mistress 9 for "having served her purpose".

The stage musicals follow the manga version, though no mention of what was occurring at the time of the lightning strike is made, and the event is not shown, only mentioned. The musicals imply Kaori to be her original name, as she is always addressed as Kaori-Kun in Hotaru's presence by Professor Tomoe who states she has been helping them out since, at least, his wife's death. In Usagi Ai no Senshi e no Michi, she leads another set of minions, the Death Nightmares.

In Sailor Moon S, she is voiced by Noriko Uemura. In Crystal, she is voiced by Hikari Yono. In the Cloverway Inc. English adaptation, her name is changed to Kaorinite (though she retains her original name in her second incarnation) and is voiced by Kirsten Bishop. In the Viz Media English adaptation, she is voiced by Tara Platt. In the musicals, Kaolinite is played by Keiko Hanayama, Mutsumi Fukuma, and Miki Kawasaki.

Mistress 9
Mistress 9 (ミストレス9) is a malevolent extraterrestrial entity who is Pharaoh 90's main partner, sent to oversee her master's arrival to Earth with Tomoe implanting her Daimon Egg in the comatose body of Hotaru. But Mistress 9 did not fully awaken despite Hotaru having seizures while in the presence of a Taioron Crystal fragment, though Mistress 9 slowly becomes more active when exposed to the light of the Legendary Silver Crystal. After the Witches 5 have all been killed, her influence overwhelmed Hotaru as she force-grows her vessel into a woman with long hair. Mistress 9 steals Chibiusa's soul and Legendary Silver Crystal while using the latter as a replacement power source when she conducts the ritual to summon Pharaoh 90 to Earth. As Pharaoh 90 begins to manifest, Mistress 9 attempts to rip herself out of Hotaru's body to assume her true form. But Mistress 9 is surprised to find that Hotaru's soul still exists and is inhibiting the entity from leaving her body, managing to thwart her by forcing her to be paralyzed on the ground, so Hotaru has enough time to restore the souls of the Inner Guardians and Chibiusa to their bodies. Mistress 9, who turned into her true Daimon form and broke free of Hotaru's force, attempts to steal Sailor Moon's Silver Crystal before Sailor Chibi Moon arrives, Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon assume their Super forms to overwhelm Mistress 9. But when Pharaoh 90 fully manifests, Mistress 9 allows herself to be assimilated into her master with Sailor Saturn's spirit possessing Hotaru by later manifesting from what remained of Mistress 9.

In the first anime's third season, Mistress 9 (commonly mistaken for Sailor Saturn herself) makes her presence known early as she occasionally controls Hotaru to communicate with the other Death Busters, making Hotaru's eyes glow red and emit a red aura of pure evil, in contest to Sailor Saturn's light purplish one. But Mistress 9 fully awakens once obtaining Chibiusa's Pure Heart Crystal, killing Kaolinite for serving her purpose in her full revival. Mistress 9 attempts to use a large machine to guide Pharaoh 90 to Earth so that he may destroy it. Sailor Moon tries to stop her and Tomoe, now freed from Germatoid, attempts to reach her, still seeing her as Hotaru, and the vessel of Sailor Saturn; a fellow Sailor Guardian. She attacks both of them but is seriously injured by energy emanating from the machine. Professor Tomoe takes her in his arms and Hotaru's consciousness begins to respond. Mistress 9 attempts to subdue her once again but Hotaru's memories of both her father and of Chibiusa prove to be overpowering. It results in Hotaru awakening by merging with the spirit of Sailor Saturn within her, their combined strength destroying Mistress 9's dark essence for good.

In Sailor Moon S, Mistress 9's voice is provided by Yuko Minaguchi and Yukiyo Fujii provides her voice in Crystal. In the CWI English dub, she is voiced by Susan Aceron. In the Viz Media English dub, she is voiced by Christine Marie Cabanos. In the musicals, two actresses have played her: Tomoko Inami and Chinatsu Akiyama.

Master Pharaoh 90
Master Pharaoh 90 (ファラオ) is a malevolent interdimensional being from "Tau Ceti Star System", an amorphous being who is both the mastermind of the Death Busters and the originator of the Daimons. He is Mistress 9's partner. As the Taioron Crystal that he uses for substance is nearly spent with his domain on the verge of collapse, Pharaoh 90 uses the spatial distortions in Tokyo's Sankakusu district to send an advance guard of Daimon Eggs to make preparations for his coming. Pharaoh 90's goal is to assimilate Earth and terraform it into a new home for himself and his Daimon spawn. As his right-hand Mistress 9 was inactive at the time, Pharaoh 90 communicated with Kaolinite at the top of Mugen Academy as he senses both the Legendary Silver Crystal and an unawakened Sailor Saturn whom he expresses dread towards.

Mistress 9 retrieved Chibiusa's future Silver Crystal with Pharaoh deeming it as a replacement for the obsolete Taioron Crystal as he is brought to Earth via an established portal. Once on Earth, Sailor Moon describing his form as that of "black lava reeking of death", Pharaoh absorbs Mistress 9 while beginning to cover the entire Earth despite the Outer Guardians' attempts to contain him within Sankakusu. With Pharaoh 90 able to absorb their attacks, Sailor Moon attempted to sacrifice herself by unleashing the powers of the Legendary Holy Grail and the Silver Crystal while within the entity. But the gambit caused the Outer Guardians' Talismans to resonate and awaken Sailor Saturn, who uses her "Death Reborn Revolution" to weaken Pharaoh 90 but stayed her hand from killing him when Sailor Moon emerged unharmed. The dying Pharaoh 90 attempts to flee back into the Tau System as Saturn gives chase, having Sailor Pluto use her "Dark Dome Close" to seal the dimensional distortion and trap Pharaoh 90 within his dying world. Like all of the head villains in the manga, Pharaoh 90 is later revealed to be an incarnation of Chaos, the ultimate enemy of the series.

In Sailor Moon S, Pharaoh 90 appears as a huge, black eyeball-like sphere with tentacles who are simply acting on an impulse to destroy Earth and recruited Tomoe by providing him with Mistress 9's Daimon Egg. When a portal is opened by Mistress 9, Pharaoh 90 begins to surface before being destroyed by Sailor Moon (empowered by the other Guardians) and the newly awakened Sailor Saturn.

Pharaoh 90 is voiced by Takaya Hashi in Crystal, with Michael Sorich (in his first two appearances) and John Eric Bentley voicing him in the English version. Tony Daniels provides vocal effects in the Cloverway Inc. English adaptation.

Witches 5
The Witches 5 (ウィッチーズ5) is a subset of the Death Busters led by Kaolinite, artificial human/Daimon hybrids created by Tomoe. The Witches 5 pose as Mugen Academy prefects while given the task to gather souls, or "Hostes," of the student body to both prolong the Tau Ceti Star System and provide vessels for Daimon Eggs. They are seen as either being equal to or stronger than the main Sailor Guardians, whom they target for their interference with the promise of being promoted to Magus level. Kaolinite would later revive the Witches 5 as Mugen Academy's first line of defense when the Sailor Guardians storm the school.

In the anime, the Witches 5 are led by Professor Tomoe while being at odds with Kaolinite. They work as researchers in an underground lab and compete amongst themselves for the professor's approval. They are first given the task to search for the Talismans until Eudial's death; the other members of the group are later instructed by Mistress 9 to find "pure hearts" instead. After a member of the group dies, her successor alters the "Witches 5" sign on the lab's door to reflect the number of remaining members. In the Cloverway English adaptation, the name of the group is changed to "Bureau of Bad Behavior". (In one episode of the Cloverway dub, Tomoe did refer to them as "Witches 5 Research" most likely in error caused by the dub script).

Eudial
Eudial (ユージアル), named for the mineral Eudialyte, is the first member and leader of the Witches 5 who appears. She is a red-haired humanoid with a rank of Level 78 and able to use the "Fire Buster" flame torrent attack. Under the alias of Yuko Arimura (有村ゆうこ), she is the Etiquette class prefect in charge of Mugen Academy's Philosophy division. Eudial uses her position to bring newly enrolled students to a mountain retreat on "Mount M" for an orientation that doubles as a ritual to extract their Hosties. While retaining her human form in Crystal, Eudial assumes her medusa-like Daimon form to overwhelm Sailors Mars and Jupiter when they interfere before being killed by Sailor Moon. When Kaolinite revives the Witches 5 for her curse against the Sailor Guardians, Eudial targets Mars's insecurities and later attacks Sailor Moon before destroyed by the Outer Guardians.

In the anime, Eudial seems to be the oldest of the group and is much resented by the others; particularly Mimete, because Professor Tomoe seems to favor her. She is referred to as Chief by the other members. Eudial is generally fairly even-tempered and level-headed; however, she is also portrayed as a reckless driver. A brilliant inventor, she is able to construct and jury rig weaponry and computer technology through the use of everyday items, like her deadly shoulder-mounted flamethrower, the Fire Buster, and later in the series booby-traps the under-construction Marine Cathedral. Eudial actually succeeds in getting two of the Talismans but loses them to Sailor Pluto. She uses the Fire Buster to try to attack Super Sailor Moon, but she deflects it back to her. Furious, she escapes in her car, only to find that Mimete has torn out its brakes and filled it with snails. The car crashes through a barrier into the sea below, killing her instantly.

Voice actor Maria Kawamura provides her voice for the original Japanese production and Chiaki Takahashi voices her in Crystal. Canadian actress Loretta Jafelice does her voice for the Cloverway English adaptation, in which her name is changed to "Eugeal". In the Viz Media English adaptation, she is voiced by Erin Fitzgerald. In the musicals, she is played by Hitomi Tsumura and Saya Chinen.

Mimete
Mimete (ミメット) is the orange-haired member of the Witches 5 with a rank of Level 40 and able to use the "Charm Buster" attack, named for the mineral mimetite. Under the alias of Mimi Hanyu (羽生美々), she is a pop idol who is prefect of Mugen Academy's Arts Division. She uses her cover to hold a concert for Mugen Academy students to take their Hosties, having not expected Sailor Venus to be attending under the guise of a Mugen student. When the other Sailor Guardians arrive, Mimete is forced to fight them with support from Daimons created by some of the students. But she ends up being killed by Sailor Uranus. When Kaolinite revives the Witches 5 for her curse against the Sailor Guardians, Mimete targets Venus through her fantasy and later attacks Sailor Moon before destroyed by the Outer Guardians.

In the anime adaptation, while ditzy and targeting celebrities, Mimete is assigned to collect Pure Heart Crystals after she orchestrated Eudial's death. Out of all the Witches 5, she is the least organized and the most easily distracted. She can launch mirages in the shape of stars at her opponents and induces severe vertigo and disorientation, capable of rendering someone unconscious in seconds. After several failed attempts at collecting hearts, she tries to use one of Eudial's abandoned inventions (Witches Electric Warp). The machine would transport a person inside of a television, which would increase that person's power exponentially. However, if the power to the television were disconnected while the user was still inside, the user would be trapped within it forever (the exact reason why Eudial never used it). Tellu mercilessly imprisons Mimete by pulling the plug off the machine.

In the original anime, she is voiced by Mika Kanai and in Crystal, she is voiced by Yuki Nagaku. Catherine Disher provides her voice in the Cloverway Inc. English adaptation, in which her name is spelled "Mimet". In the Viz Media English adaptation, she is voiced by Kira Buckland. In the musicals, she is played by Shiori Honda and Aki Kudou.

Viluy
Viluy (ビリユイ) is the white-haired member of the Witches 5 with a rank of Level 202 and able to use nano-machines to completely obliterate her enemy in her "Mosaic Buster" attack, named for the mineral viluite. She acts under the alias of Yui Bidoh (美堂ゆい), Mugen Academy's top student and prefect of the Computer Club, using her nanomachines to turn computers into Hoste-sucking machines for the Mugen Prep School held in Mugen Academy. Viluy attempts to take Mercury's soul but ends up being killed by Sailor Uranus. When Kaolinite revives the Witches 5 for her curse against the Sailor Guardians, Viluy targets Mercury's insecurities and later attacks Sailor Moon before destroyed by the Outer Guardians.

In the anime, Viluy is handed the task of gathering pure hearts after Tellu's death. She collects the pure hearts from the students using a supercomputer, controlled by her wristband. She overpowers Sailors Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune using nanomachines controlled by her wristband. Sailor Moon damages Viluy's wristband and the Witch ends up being consumed when her Mosaic Buster rebounded on her.

Viluy also appears in the stage musicals. She is voiced by Yoshino Takamori in the original anime and by Rina Honnizumi in Crystal. In the Cloverway Inc. English adaptation, her names were changed to "Byruit" and "Julie Bidoh" and is voiced by Kim Bubbs. In the Viz Media English adaptation, she is voiced by Julie Ann Taylor (credited as Cricket Brown). In the musicals, she is played by Nao Futatsugi, Yuka Kuwahara, and Yui Hasegawa.

Tellu
Tellu (テルル) is the green-haired member of the Witches 5 with a rank of Level 404 and able to use the "Mandragora Buster" attack, named for the mineral tellurite. She acts under the alias of Lulu Teruno (照野留々) and is prefect of Mugen Academy's Physical Education class and Botanical Garden, providing a number of her artificial Telluns plants to the populace to absorb Hostes from their victims. Though her scheme is found out by the Sailor Guardians as they confront her, Tellu overpowers the Sailor Guardians before assuming her Daimon form to finish them off. But Tellu ends up being killed by a newly re-awakened Sailor Pluto. When Kaolinite revives the Witches 5 for her curse against the Sailor Guardians, Tellu targets Jupiter's insecurities and later attacks Sailor Moon before destroyed by the Outer Guardians.

In the first anime, after deposing of Mimete, Tellu's role is slightly different as she opens a flower shop to sale her Telluns before being confronted by Sailor Moon, Sailor Chibi Moon, Sailor Pluto, and Tuxedo Mask. When her Telluns being destroyed, Tellu mutates the last into a Hyper-Tellun to kill the group. But Tuxedo Mask hurls one of his roses at Tellu and causes her to lose the Pure Heart Crystals she gathered, resulting in her being attacked by her own creation. Tellu electrocutes the Hyper-Tellun in an attempt to break free, but it self-destructs and she is consumed in the explosion.

She was voiced by Chieko Honda until episodes 30 and 31 of Sailor Moon S. In Crystal, she is voiced by Naomi Ōzora. In the Cloverway Inc. English adaptation, her name is changed to "Telulu" and she is voiced by Kirsten Bishop, her silhouette appearance was played by Julie Lemieux. In the Viz Media English adaptation, she is voiced by Laura Post. In the musicals, she is played by Mio Nunokawa, Akiko Iwasaki and Momoko Sadachi.

Cyprine and Ptilol
Cyprine (シプリン) and Ptilol (プチロル) are collectively the final members of the Witches 5 with a rank of Level 999 and able to use the "Ribbon Buster" attack. In the Materials Collection, author Naoko Takeuchi states that Ptilol is an extension of Cyprine, Ptilol normally resides within Cyprine's body until they split into two separate beings. The two are mirror-imaged with Cyprine having blue hair and eyes with a braid with a bun on top on the right side of her head and dresses in blue, while Ptilol has red hair and eyes, a braid with a bun on top on the left side of her head and dresses in red. The two are named for the minerals cyprine and clinoptilolite.

As prefect of Mugen Academy's business division and sorcery class, Cyprine is tasked by Kaolinite specifically to take care of Haruka and Michiru after the two revealed their true colors. While caught off guard that her quarry are Sailors, Cyprine uses her power to have all the Sailor Guardians save Sailor Moon turn on each other. While she and Ptilol split to dodge her initial attack on them, Sailor Moon manages to kill the twin witches after transforming into Super Sailor Moon and using her "Rainbow Moon Heartache" attack on them again. When Kaolinite revives the Witches 5, Cyprine and Ptilol oversee the Sailor Guardians' ensnarement in their trap. After their teammates dealt with the other Sailor Guardians, the twins join the other Witches 5 in overwhelming Sailor Moon before they are all destroyed by the Outer Guardians.

In the anime, while still the last of the Witches 5, Cyprine's story is altered to have her make a final attempt of gathering Pure Hearts for Mistress 9's revival. When the Sailor Guardians interfere, she and Ptilol split and overwhelm the group with one twin blocking an attack aimed at the other and using the absorbed energy to counter while increasing their power. But the Sailors formulate a counter-strategy with Sailor Mercury using her Bubble spray to obscure the area so they can force Cyprine and Ptilol apart, tricking the two into blasting each other as both are killed when their staves are overloaded by the excess energy.

In Sailor Moon S, Yuriko Fuchizaki did the voice of Cyprine and Rumi Kasahara did the voice of Ptilol. In Crystal, they are both voiced by Umeka Shōji. In the Cloverway Inc. English version, their names are changed to "Cyprin" and "Petirol". They are voiced by Naomi Emmerson and Sara Sahr. In the Viz Media English adaptations, they are both voiced by Dorothy Elias-Fahn. In the musicals, only Cyprine has made an appearance, and she is played by Michiho Matsumoto, Saeri Amano, and Maana.

Death Mannetjes
The Death Mannetjes (デス・マネッチャーズ) are servants of Professor Tomoe in the musicals Usagi Ai no Senshi e no Michi, Henshin - Super Senshi e no Michi, and its revision. They are four men portrayed as thinking highly of themselves and as masters of disguise. The Mannetjes are tasked with finding the talismans and are rivals of Kaolinite's own set of minions: the Death Nightmares. They are killed by the Sailor Guardians but are revived by Sailor Moon at the end of the musical. Their leader is Death Ra, and other members include Death Ri, Death Ru, and Death Debu Re. They are respectively played by Ryuuji Kasahara, Masakazu Idono, Masayuki Ozaki, and Kouhei Kowada.

The Death Mannetjes appear in the Last Dracul musical. They are homunculi created by Undead Berserk while he takes over Tomoe's body and laboratory. They have no relation to the Death Busters in this version. The Mannetjes have different names in this continuity: Death Pa, Death Pi, Death Pu, and Death Pe. They are respectively portrayed by Jun Kanzaki, Seiko Takuma, Takashi Kashiwagi, and Yoshiya Yukimura.

Death Nightmares
The Death Nightmares (デス・ナイトメア) are nameless servants of Kaolinite in the musical Usagi Ai no Senshi e no Michi. They are portrayed as beautiful, seductive women with silver hair, and have a rivalry with the Death Mannetjes in the heart snatching. They use a Daimon named Gondola to steal Chibiusa's pure crystal heart, but they are stopped by Sailors Uranus and Neptune, and later killed by the Guardians, only to be revived by Sailor Moon at the end of the musical. They are played by Kaori Ishikawa, Ado Endou, Yuuko Matsumoto, Eri Ikemoto, Hisako Doubayashi, Yoshiko Nakahara, and Junko Oyama.

In the Last Dracul musical, they are female dream demons, appearing again as beautiful and seductive women but with dark hair. Some of them are named in this arc: Olam Tiphareth, Roi Malkuth, and Elyon Yesod; however, there are other unnamed members. They have no relation to the Death Busters in this version; since Kaolinite does not appear in this musical, their leader is Undead Berserk's right-hand woman, Death Lamia (デス・ラミアー). The Last Dracul Death Nightmares are portrayed by Miki Kawasaki, Ado Endou, Noriko Yamakawa, Junko Yamauchi, and Izumi Ogino.

Daimons
Daimons (ダイモーン) are amorphous monsters deployed by the Death Busters to carry out several tasks, normally used as their enforcers. Being a form of life native to the Tau System, the Daimons that manifest on Earth as special pods called Daimon Eggs which need to assimilate host bodies in a process called Vesselization to survive the planet's conditions, both Kaolinite and a willing Tomoe being such examples of the hybridization. But when Tomoe attempted to replicate the process he used to create the Witches 5, a process that combines genetic manipulation and cybernetic modification, the result is malformed Atavized worm creatures which the others called failed experiments despite Tomoe's opinion of the monsters. When defeated, humans recently turned into Daimons revert to their original state while the Daimon Egg shatters upon being ejected.

In the first anime, the Daimons serve as monsters-of-the-day. Appearing as red feminine liquid humanoids in their natural state, the Daimons are artificially created by Tomoe and Vesselize objects to assume personalized form. The first batch of Daimon Eggs used by Kaolinite was allowed to randomly enter objects on their whim and possess a Death Buster mark somewhere on their bodies that allows them to extract a Heart Crystal from their target. When Eudial takes over search for the Talismans, Tomoe built a specialized oven to create fixed Vesselizations with the resulting Daimons created as bodyguards for the witch. The final batch of Daimons, combining the roles of the previous two with the task to revive Mistress 9, are created by Tomoe to aid Mimete and are modified with cormorant traits so they can suck out a Heart Crystal by simply kissing their prey. When defeated, the object reverts to its original state with the Daimon Egg destroyed in the process releasing the bird-formed evil spirits. After the remaining Witches 5 have all been killed, the remaining Daimon Eggs all hatched and serve as a barrier to prevent the Sailor Guardians from entering Mugen Academy. After the final battle, one Daimon survived and Vesselized with the oven to become Rangy (レンジ). Rangy acts on her instincts as a Daimon to gather Hearts and attacks the city until the Sailor Guardians stop her, destroying both her and the oven. In the video games ''Sailor Moon S: Quiz Taiketsu! Sailor Power Ketsushuu and Sailor Moon S - Kotaete Moon Call'', Tomoe creates a Daimon named Quiz (クイーズ), who resurrects Monsters, Droids, and Daimons from the first three seasons of the anime. In the former video game, the player must beat five quizzes in order to defeat these enemies and to make it to the final challenge to confront Quiz.

The musicals also portray them as using human hosts but have more in common in appearance with the anime version.

Reception
Writer Rebecca Silverman reviewed the first part of the Sailor Moon S English dubbed blu-ray for Anime News Network and considered that there was a "distinct difference between Kaolinite's and Eudial's approaches to getting the talismans." Regarding Keith Silverstein's job dubbing Professor Tomoe, Silverman stated that the voice actor seemed to have fun while doing his part and thought he found "a very good balance between insane and evil." Silverman also noted the increased sexuality of Kaolinite's Daimons. On a later review of the second part, Silverman regrets the producers did not devote enough time to develop Tellu, Viluy, Cyprine, and Ptilol, as they spent too much time on Mimete. However, she praised Kira Buckland's voice acting as Mimete, and positively compared her to Mika Kanai.

In his review of the third-season finale of Sailor Moon Crystal in Den of Geek, writer Michael S. Mammano noted that Master Pharaoh 90 is the first of the major antagonists to beg for his life: "We've seen rage, denial, despair, but never begging. I'm not sure if that makes Pharaoh 90 pathetic or Pluto and Saturn just that much cooler. Perhaps both?"

In the third official Sailor Moon popularity poll, out of fifty-one choices, Mistress 9 was ranked the twenty-third most popular character in the series, Professor Tomoe was thirty-fourth, Kaolinite was thirty-sixth, and Pharaoh 90 was forty-eighth. The poll listed the magical and civilian forms of the Witches 5 as separate entities. Mimete was the twenty-eighth most popular character, Mimi Hanyu was thirty-first, Eudial was thirty-second, Cyprine was thirty-fifth, Yui Bidoh was thirty-seventh, Lulu Teruno was thirty-eighth, Viluy was fortieth, Yuko Arimura was forty-second, Tellu was forty-third, and Ptilol was forty-fourth.

Quick note
Hello, Chronicidal, I like the picture you added to the article TJHSST here. However, the picture is about to be deleted. Please leave me a note here if you took the picture! Do you mind that the photo could be modified and redistributed for any purpose, including commercial purposes? Any redistribution would include the text of the GFDL and a note that you took the picture. If you don't like the GFDL, there still are other ways you can have the picture included on Wikipedia so just let me know. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 12:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I forget where I got the picture but I know I didn't take it.--Chronicidal 21:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:01, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Cabouco

Cabouco is a civil parish in the municipality of Lagoa on the island of São Miguel in the Portuguese Azores. The population in 2011 was 1,921, in an area of 4.85 km².

History
One of the first references to this area of São Miguel occurred in the 16th century when Captain Manuel Rodrigues Canejo and his wife, Maria de Paiva, constructed a local hermitage to support religious services.

On 22 June 1670, a concession to build a church was granted by Bishop friar Clemente Vieira, during a period when the Cabouco included less than 30 homes.

The construction of the new temple would only begin in 1846, under the direction of Father Cosme de Sousa.

At the time of its elevation to the status of civil parish Cabouco had approximately 1250 inhabitants (with some estimates of about 2900 annually). The growth of this centre was due to its connection and accessibility to the municipality of Lagoa, cheap parcels and creation of the industrial zone, that funnelled most commercial and manufacturing activities to the centre of the island.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stub sorting/Archive 1

Multiple stubs? (issue being voted)
Is there any Wiki-Policy on having more than one stub? I have been editing various Japanese related topics, and many of them could have more than one stub. For example, both a japan-stub and lit-stub, or japan-stub and history-stub. I know that it looks uglier (and probably more unprofessional) to have more than one stub. I know that I read somewhere about a proposal to put the stub messages on the Talk page instead of the main page, which would solve that problem. gK ¿? 14:06, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I think it would be in the best interest to place the article in the best fit, and any other stub that could relate into the Talk page.
 * For example: Adolph Gottlieb has two stubs.
 * He would be best placed in an painter stub, if it existed
 * However, he would be best placed under the bio-stub since he is a person.
 * Then the art-stub would be placed in the Talk page.
 * -- AllyUnion (talk) 05:03, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * But then again, considerations should be thought when which WikiProject would likely expand the article more.
 * The basic idea behind the project is to avoid using the stub template, since it's highly overused. I understand how some topics would eventually overlap.  Possibly the best solution that we could do is to simply add the categories in which the article belongs to.  Things that relate to Japan and History usually goes under Japanese History or something. -- AllyUnion (talk) 05:07, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Is there any policy or explanation on when or how to create a stub. I guess ideally that every active Wikiproject should have a stub, as well as every notice board, plus any Collaboration of the Week that doesn't have a corresponding Wikiproject or notice board. (And I think that the reverse should be also be true, that there should be a Wikiproject set up (even if it is inactive) for every topic-stub.) gK ¿? 10:43, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Science stubs (news)
There's a danger of Category:Science stubs becoming the new Category:Stubs. I've been categorizing things out of there when they're obvious (plants, animals, things that are unambiguously physics or chemistry, diseases go into medicine, and so forth). I wanted to alert the project to the idea that we may just be getting another One Big Stub Category problem. grendel|khan 23:24, 2004 Dec 27 (UTC)

Category for deletion - Category:Stub (not relevant anymore)
According to Categories for deletion, a grand total of three people have decided that Category:Stub should be deleted. Although they talked about it, they haven't yet listed Template:Stub for deletion as well. This may or may not be a good thing. The fact that they are doing it without even notifying the Stub sorting WikiProject, however, is not the way that things should be done in my opinion. The fact they will probably delete the category and the template (if nobody speaks up soon) and at the same time probably not fixing all the pages that mention those pages, is a very bad thing in my opinion. gK ¿? 08:01, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I think it's a stupid idea. -- AllyUnion (talk) 18:48, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * The fact that a change this big wasn't discussed in either Village pump (proposals) or Village pump (policy) is also "A VERY BAD THING" (official trademark of gK). gK ¿? 20:21, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Although the point is mostly irrelevant now, I'd like to point out that the suggestion was not to get rid of stubs entirely or to stop putting them in a category, but rather to change it to Category:Stubs, which in fact should probably have been done when the category was reinstated, but it's hardly worth fixing at this point (since template changes have caching problems with categories). Most of our other categories have plural names. -Aranel (" Sarah ") 21:18, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Weird Stub sorting? (temporal state)
I'm confused. When you go to Category:Stub categories, you will see "Historical stubs" as a subcategory, but if you go to Category:Historical stubs it only shows as a child of Category:History, and not as a child of Category:Stub categories like I would expect it to be. gK ¿? 03:09, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Someone edited the stub category template and broke it. Fixing that now. -- AllyUnion (talk) 08:41, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

More confusion: Some of the Africa related stubs are showing up as articles under Category:Stubs by region, such as Ernest Shonekan and Shehu Musa Yar'Adua. gK ¿? 22:30, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * This one... I'd say is a bug... or a delay in the update of the category. -- AllyUnion (talk) 10:16, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Universal stub tag. (aborted attempt)
I have created a new stub tag,   which should make stub sorting easier. Rather than having lots of seperate stub tags for each category, this stub tag uses a parameter for the stub's category. The syntax for it is.

Examples:
 * instead of.
 * instead of.
 * instead of.

Putting it to use, I have created Category:GNOME stubs (for articles relating to the GNOME desktop environment) using instead of creating a  tag. Norman Rogers\talk 14:03, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Huh... interesting idea. A lot of changes will need to be made... -- AllyUnion (talk) 09:42, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Nevermind... Norman, Metastub does the same thing.  I thought that your stub would in effect use the template (the approprate template) by simply inserting the name. -- AllyUnion (talk) 09:45, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * (I was thinking it did something like: -- AllyUnion (talk) 09:50, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC))

Egypt stub & PBS stub (lone newsflash)
I don't know why, but on my computer, the Sphinx image for the Egypt stub wouldn't show until I increased the size to 40 pixels from 30 pixels. I also added the PBS logo to the PBS stub. gK ¿? 05:21, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

China stub (discussion moved to Template talk:China-stub)
We have a similiar problem for the China stub that we had for the Japan stub. A user decided the PRC flag was inappropriate so they deleted it. But then someone replaced the flag with an animated Chinese dragon that ended up looking like an unidentifiable red blog when shrunk. It would be nice to have a simple graphic to represent China, but I am not sure what it should be.

There is also the problem of what should go into the China stub--is it for all the different Chinas? Hong Kong has already been separated out in three different stubs. I've proposed that there probably should be a Taiwan stub. Should the Chinese stub be only for the PRC? gK ¿? 06:35, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Er... That is a hard question to answer.  The reason I say this is because culturally, Taiwan has kept a lot of the traditions that once were considered Chinese before the civil war.  I'm going to discuss this more on the template talk page. -- AllyUnion (talk) 10:02, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Bird stub (already discussed)
How about making a Bird-stub category. There are plenty enough bird stubs for one. --DanielCD 19:47, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Stub or stubs? (irrelevant)
While thinking of the general stub category, why is it called Category:Stub when the general rule with categories is to use a plural? Grutness|hello? 07:03, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Skip it - I've just read the comments on this further up this page. Grutness|hello? [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]]
