This is the beginning of my second favorite arc in the series. Did Mamoru go to Hahvahd in the anime? Don't remember. What I do remember was that Ami mentioned Columbia University in one of the episodes, and well, guess where I went to grad school. Sailor Iron Mouse is my favorite enemy Sailor, it's a shame she got disposed of so quickly.

The bonus stickers are the same as the cover images for Venus, Chibiusa, Neptune, and Uranus.

50. スターズ１ (Stars 1): Usagi is having nightmares again. While things seem to be back to normal, Usagi isn't happy as Mamoru going to Hahvahd. As Usagi sees him off at the airport, he mysteriously disappears and Sailor Galaxia shows up. Usagi passes out, is saved by the three idols, and forgets about the incident. Meanwhile, Sailor Iron Mouse, a hench-creature of Galaxia comes to steal the scout's Star Seeds. The inner and outer scouts can't defeat it, but out of nowhere, three new scouts appear and eliminate Iron Mouse.

51. スターズ２ (Stars 2): The Tsukino family has a new addition, Chibi-Chibi, and like before, this new member uses some memory magic to make the parents think that she's a little sister. At school, the three Idols Yaten, Seiya, and Taiki suddenly enrolling at her school and become the popular guys at school through each of their talents. Through Michiru, the girls get to attend one of their live concerts and Usagi can feel that the song they sing serves as a beckon for someone. After the concert, Sailor Aluminum attacks and kills Mercury and Jupiter, taking their Star Seeds away before the three idols reveal that they're also Sailor Scouts by transform in Sailor Star Healer|Fighter|Maker.

52. スターズ３ (Stars 3): The Starlights depart as soon as they appear. Later, Taiki makes Usagi remember what really happened to Mamoru and why he hasn't been in contact. Galaxia makes her official debut. Mina(-P?) and Rei confront the idols/Starlights, thinking that they might be enemies and Rei's two crows come under attack by the new hench-woman.

53. スターズ４ (Stars 4): The new enemy, Sailor Red Crow kills Phobos and Deimos. Venus and Mars fight back, but they're soon killed and their Star Seeds taken away. In the future, King and Queen, with Chibiusa, feel that someone terrible is happening in the past. Present day, a strange new cat-like student transfers into class. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto do some investigations to find out about the extra-solar system Scouts and through Chibi-chibi, the Sailor Starfighter's princess, the one who they sing about, appears.

54. スターズ５ (Stars 5): The princess reveals to her protectors that Chibi-chibi herself is also a Sailor Scout. The new student is Sailor Tin, another villain who attacks the cats. Sailormoon saves them, but not before Chibiusa, in the future, senses something wrong with Diana. Usagi meets Kakyuu (I think), the Starlight's princess. She explains to Usagi about Galaxia, the Sailor of Destruction. Later that night, Usagi meets a woman with tremendous power.
