My friend is always like "But isn't Sailor Moon cleansing a person the same as brainwashing them?"
And I'm like "Uh....no, idiot; she is restoring the person they USED to be before they turned evil".
Lol

If so-and-so was under the influence of black magic, then it's different. Like doing something stupid while drunk. Maybe the magic lowered their inhibitions and brought impulses to the forefront. Yeah, the magic didn't make them do something that wasn't already in their hearts but it's not something they would ever do under normal circumstances. Cleansing is just helping him to sober up. You might take away their power but at least you restore their dignity.
If so-and-so had turned evil of his own free will... cleansing is abolishing his free will. If he is a threat, put chains on his body if need but not his mind. Maybe you could reprogram him, but it would be more merciful and show more respect to his inherent dignity to just send him to a firing squad. He might be a villain, but at least he can die saying, "I am a man!" If that case, the men and women of the Black Moon might well imagine themselves freedom fighters, choosing exile rather than such a fate.
Again, are there any first person/canon sources saying exactly how cleansing works? What SM did for the Four Sisters in season 2 seems to bear the first option out. I haven't seen it subtitled in a while but is what she did for them called cleansing on screen?
I'm gonna say "No, they didn't choose that."
We know from the manga that the four generals were Mamoru's...so they were corrupted by Metallia.
I do find it interesting that Nephrite was the only one whom the first anime staff chose to have a little goodness in him...whereas the other three were evil until death.
And the Black Moon family were brainwashed by Wiseman; it's his special skill; the same way he brainwashed Chibiusa.

Yeah, i cant consider that short story as part of the canon.
there is a theory that say that usagi lost her senshi powers when she gave birth to chibi usa , so if a mother would lost her senshi powers by having the first kid , then that would mean that if a senshi give to birt a second kid , the new daughter wouldnt have any senshi powers , since the mother have had already passed all her senshi powers to the first kid , so no powers to the second one,
maybe thats why the royal family can only have one daughter per generation , because a second one would be powerless.

I've got one!!
What are the red gems that Usagi and Chibiusa wear in their hair buns MADE of? Ruby? Actually, what is ANY part of the senshi costumes made of? Like the fabric and stuff? It certainly doesn't tear easily.
Yeah, I could easily believe this. I think the senshi also mentioned that only one child can be born to a queen in this universe too.

The Quartet goes back into hibernation to wait until Chibi-Moon comes of age/power. So they re-emerge in the future before she goes to the past again in the final arc, but it's clearly the first time Chibi has seen them in that capacity. So they go back with her and then spit out this toss-away line about one daughter so that Naoko can further insinuate that there's something odd about Chibi-Chibi (even though she's mere seconds away from revealing her real identity, whatever...)
But how would Vestas even know that? They only briefly lived in the present era as enemies, then for a few minutes as senshi before they went back to sleep. Then they re-emerge in the future and Vestas knows everything about the royal line? How? Did they maintain some level of awareness while waiting for Chibi? I'd expect this kind of knowledge from Pluto, but not the Quartet.
I don't think Moon explicitly passed her powers to her daughter. I think Chibi's power is her own, and Moon's just went dormant. But regardless, the one-daughter rule seems silly. QS only had one daughter and may have stopped there, but we'll never know because everything was wiped out before she even reached adulthood. As for Chibi... well, NQS doesn't exactly show a whole lot of attention and doting on her in the flashbacks, so maybe she wasn't too thrilled about producing more than one kid after having her.
I'm not sure if why we should even listen to what the Quartet have to say about the royal family. Everything about them is so confusing.

How would they know any of this anyway? Even the inners, outers, Chibiusa, the cats and Sailor Moon herself don't have any of this knowledge these four weirdoes have.
Haruka and Michiru being obscenely wealthy on the manga is even more bemusing than Makoto living alone, at least for me.
