His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He forcibly took possession of Professor Tomoe's body in exchange for the life of a severely wounded Horatu.
- He is ruthless, willingly working with Lady 9 and Pharaoh 90 in their goal of destroying all life on earth.
- He is responsible for many of the crimes committed by the Witches Five and Death Busters, and has made it clear that trying to extract pure hearts is not a pleasant experience for victims.
- Although he was happy to let Sailor Guardians fight the Daimons that Mimete accidentally released in his house, he did it only because it was in his best interests.
- Although at first he was a nice and decent enough father to Hotaru, when it came time to use her to revive Mistress 9, he willingly continued to act, since he chose her as the host, throughout the season we see how the presence of Mistress 9 affects Hotaru, as she is quite fragile and painless, prone to fainting and experiencing difficulties due to her influence.
- He is emotionless when his associate, Kaorinite, was killed by Hotaru after she becomes Mistress 9's host.
- He clearly enjoys his villainous activities.
- Faced with Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune, he sadistically mocked them, and then takes off his mask, leaves Tomoe's body and attacks them, besides setting an army of his created demons on them, but is defeated.
- Although he is not as heinous as Queen Beryl or Wiseman, he still stands out due to having fewer resources.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He is affable, as he is polite with his subordinates and doesn't punish them for their failures, but only chastises them, demonstrating his patience. And once he even resurrected Kaorinite. However, this is not a very significant prevention, because he doesn't genuinely care about them, simply being affable.
- He has several comedic moments that detracts him from villainy. Like when he burns his tongue drinking hot tea, he calling a ramen shop (a pizza shop in the CWi dub) by mistake, he witnessing Mimete's mischievous attitude or he playing Twister with his subordinates. Although this is minor since he is still taken as a serious antagonist.
Trivia[]
- While his host Souichi is not anywhere close to Near Pure Evil in this version, in the Manga and in Sailor Moon Crystal he's actually Pure Evil, as he is Germatoid rather than possessed by him, and also has no redeeming traits or comedic moments at all.
