Reader's Guide
The saga begins with the appearance of the Death Busters, led by Professor Tomoe and his daughter Hotaru, who seek to collect souls using Infinity Mirrors. Sailor Moon and her team face off against various villains who target individuals with strong emotional ties or latent magical potential. As the story progresses, the Senshi discover that their memories are being suppressed, leading to confusion about their past lives. The introduction of the Starlights adds a layer of mystery, as these wandering guardians from another galaxy seek to find Sailor Moon before the Death Busters can corrupt her soul. The climax arrives when Zoisite and Kunzite reveal their true allegiance to the Dark Kingdom's remnants.
