Tuxedo Kamen jumped into  join the melee. The ninja slashed at
him with his sword. Tuxedo Mask blocked with his cane. The ninja
retracted the sword, and pulled in for a kick. Tuxedo mask tried to 
block
the kick with his staff again. The cane broke in half, and hit cape 
boy's
shoulder. The wimpy super hero wanna be crashed into the ground. He
gripped his shoulder, which felt like it was dislocated.

Cheap shot.  By the not particularly high standards of Sailor Moon,
Tux isn't that wimpy.  Remember you "worship" a character whose only
role in a fight for the entire first series was to blow bubbles at
the opposition.  And it's pretty clear that Tux knows his limits for
the most part since he normally restricts himself to a sniper role,
so it's kind of odd that he got into close combat with a hand -to-hand
fighter, instead of doing what he normally does, jump away with Sailor
Moon to get out of range of the opposition.  But we can assume he took 
his stupid pill today.  In this case, since you are glorifying Ryouga,
insulting Tux only undermines Ryouga's feat in defeating the 
Spider-Ninja.  

And yes, I think Mercury is a cute little thing as well.  


It's also against the rules for Ryouga to be able to see through the
stupidity field surrounding the Sailors.  Friends, family, and 
significant others are all unable to see the resemblance until the
secret is revealed.  Unless of course you are suggesting that Ryouga
is too stupid for the stupidity field to work.  However, Ryouga has
already demonstrated a lamentable lack of ability to see through the
flimsiest of disguises and you let Kazuya do the exact same thing.

        Minako slapped him. "You can go away!"
 
Oh come on.  Make it look a little more incriminating before he
starts being abused like that.  And shouldn't it be Rei rather
than Minako?  Minako is after all the the one with the most 
experience and soundest judgement, except that they CUT HER
INTRO EPISODE LEAVING HER A CIPHER WITH NO PERSONALITY... never 
mind.  Rei's still the most likely to behave so belligerently
on nothing more than flimsy suspicion.  Remember, she tried
to exorcise Usagi the moment she saw her, and she's also the
designated Usagi slapper EXCEPT THEY CUT THE SCENE RUINING THE
MOOD...never mind.
