Nope, Jadeite along with some of the Witches 5 are the few villains who remain flat in both anime and manga.
In fact I would say he’s even worse in the manga, at least the the 90’s anime gave him all those meme-worthy start-up business schemes and hinted at a history between him and Thetis at the end there (while also simultaneously revealing him to be a raging misogynist…? Okay…) Manga Jadeite has absolutely no characterization at all.
Funny because the anime Black Moon Clan are often cited as some of the best and most memorable villainous groups, and to me they were definitely the best part of the second half of R. Only Rubeus was the real weak link out of them.
Esmeraude was good, she just needed a better ending.
Well get ready for all that to be gone and for her to be be turned into some generic, Mary-Sue, Christ figure plot device.
She’s not evil at all, just possessed, like anime Tomoe.
It’s because they’re meant to be a parallel and the Inners version of Uranus/Neptune, which is made all the more apparent in PGSM where they replace them as a ship.
I’m personally fine with it because they’re consenting adults, and since they’re the same sex can’t reproduce in the first place which takes care of the problem that makes incest so bad in the first place.
That plus it was never actually
No the memory wipe was done because SM was initially planned for only one season and they weren’t sure it would be greenlit for more so they needed to find a good way to put a final cap on everything.
Looking at in a vacuum without the other seasons attached it was a brilliant writing choice, and the ending to Classic is the most memorable finale out of all 5 seasons that actually feels like a finale.
And that’s a good thing as opposed to their completely non-characters in the manga.

One thing I will agree on is the black moon clan while underwhelming was still good, I think rubeus hurt it and the esmeraude ending hurt it fas good as it could have. I prefer it to the breakup arc or chibiusa being into her future dad, just all that can burn in a fire. The former destroyed mamarou’s character.
I agree Esmeraude was great, I
if had a better ending it would have helped the arc. The four specter sisters were great to. I did not mind them having a happy ending. Love the petz/sapphire tragic romance that was great.
The ending to it was good, between death phantom, Demande and sapphire, really good stuff, one thing about the three arcs in the anime I have seen they have great endings. Opposite of a lot yu yu hakusho arcs with the expection of the saint beast and togorou.
Wow that is going to suck she is going from the most evil person in universe to a Mary Sue Christ type who is not as good even before she turns good. If they were going to turn her good, she should have died from restoring everyone to life. I will still watch it despite it all. Lol
Yeah they make her actually good and is only bad because she is possessed by chaos. I sounds like a bit pull to me. Lfamo Crystal will fix it I think, so we will get an animated version that does her justice.
Seeing as sapphire and demande are adults and cannot make kids then it a lot better. Also yes the worst part of it is making kids and two guys cannot do that. Still not going to ever do incest in any story I do ever. I am glad it went nowhere in the manga
If I could I would zero doubt replaced the chibiusa crush of her dad with a classmate of usagi’s having a crush on her mom or something, something controversial but not as bad. Hell chibiusa jealous of naru with umino would have been better or a crush on motoki.
