DISCLAIMER
Figured this was fair game considering thereâs already been mention of sailor scouts in another thread, but I ask that if youâre coming here to discuss that you be nice since this is basically a consideration of an instance of villainy more than anything, not to be considered a direct suggestion or outright demand.
This is also a late night forum post so itâs⌠well itâs not perfect
(Also, a personal warning⌠do yourself a favor and never watch the English dub of any Sailor Moon⌠stick with the subs for your sake and sanity. They just butcher it with the dubs. Itâs really bad).
LOST IN THE VOID: The Story of Mimete
Quotes are from:
https://wikimoon.org/index.php/Mimete
Mimete was the second of the Witches 5 to appear in Sailor Moon S and the Infinity arc. Her powers were charm-based. In all versions of the Sailor Moon series, Mimete had some sort of rivalry with Minako Aino.
In the anime, from Mimeteâs first appearance she was both disdainful of and cruel to Eudial, and she did everything she could to sabotage her superiorâs efforts. Though this was at first limited to minor pranks, such as putting snails in Eudialâs locker, she eventually removed the brakes from Eudialâs station wagon, which caused her to drive off a cliff into the ocean. With the senior Witch out of the way, Mimete took over the operation, though she was less efficient than her predecessor: she was shown sleeping through meetings and paying more attention to current celebrities than her work. Often Mimete would struggle to find a target and pick whoever at the time was her favorite celebrity. Mimete used a Daimon [NOTE: essentially monsters in the sailor moon universe] meant to retrieve Pure Heart CrystalsâŚ
So here we have a lazy, cunning, manipulative, slothful, greedy, and above all⌠fun-loving witch (and a demon summoning one, at that) who would do anything to get to the top but who also seems to distract herself and ends up being the cause of a lot of her own woes.
I obviously recommend watching the series if you want to see her character unfoldâŚ
âŚbut of course, eventually she ends up in the demise of her own making, which is ultimately the crux of this post:
She brought with her Eudialâs abandoned invention, the Witches Electric Warp, which she connected to a giant TV screen. While she was inside of the machine, however, Tellu pulled the plug, and Mimete was âshut offâ forever.
Now⌠if youâre unfamiliar with what the Witches Electric Warp is:
The machine would transport a person inside of a television, which would increase that personâs power exponentially. It did, however, have one drawback: if the power to the television were disconnected while the user was still inside, the user would be trapped within it forever.
Mimete found the machine and tried to use it against the Sailor Senshi, either unaware of or not caring about the potential issues with it. Tellu, who was already angry with Mimete for stealing her job, pulled the plug on her fellow Death Buster despite her pleas, and essentially destroyed Mimete.
So essentially, our poor Mimete was lost to the void because she uploaded herself to the computer and then⌠lost her power.
Heavy.
The question Iâve always wondered though, with a sort of hopefulness (Iâve always been cheering for villains ever since I was a kid ) is this:
âŚwhat if Mimete wasnât lost forever?
What if she found her way back out?
Just something to consider.
