Sailor Saturn, feeling that she has no choice but to sacrifice herself in order to protect her friends, unleashes her attack against Nehelenia.

As a Sailor Moon collector, I never really set goals for myself in terms of cels I wanted because there are so many fans of the series and we're probably all after the same 100 scenes. When this was for sale on Mandarake in June 2013, I cast a bid and didn't think much of it because it's Saturn and artwork of her, even at the time, was incredibly rare. This is the only time I've seen anything from her attacks for sale in all my years of collecting. Sadly, it came from a collection where a previous owner had trimmed the cels in order to fit into a very common frame that is widely sold in Japan. Still, I'm grateful. I probably would have never owned anything from this scene without that person.

From Episode 172 - "Ai no Moon Power! Akumu no Owaru Toki" (The love of Moon power! The end of a nightmare).
