Plot Months after defeating the Dead Moon Circus, Usagi Tsukino and her friends continue to live peaceful lives as ordinary high school students in the Azabu-Jūban district of Minato, Tokyo. Mamoru Chiba, Usagi's boyfriend, plans to study abroad in the United States. However, at the local airport, Mamoru disappears shortly after he proposes to Usagi. Unable to accept Mamoru's disappearance, Usagi hides her memory of that event. Meanwhile, Shadow Galactica, an organization devoting itself to stealing star seeds throughout the galaxy under Sailor Galaxia's leadership, and the Sailor Starlights, a trio of Sailor Guardians from another star system, arrive on Earth. To gain control of the Galaxy Cauldron for the villainous Chaos, Sailor Galaxia robs the eight Eternal Sailor Guardians of their Sailor Crystals and kills them. Desperate to save her friends, Usagi, as Eternal Sailor Moon, joins forces with the Sailor Starlights to challenge Sailor Galaxia in what may be her greatest - and perhaps final - battle.
