ANIME

First Appearance: episode 036
Final Appearance:
Seiyuu: Tohru Furuya

First appearance: Endymion was an evil incarnation of Mamoru Chiba who was brainwashed to work for the Dark Kingdom. After Mamoru was abducted in episode 035, Queen Metallia and Queen Beryl realized that he was actually Prince Endymion, the prince of the Earth during the Silver Millennium. Under Metallia's orders, Queen Beryl revived Mamoru with dark energy, brainwashing him into working for the Dark Kingdom. His primary mission objectives were to destroy Sailor Moon and obtain the Ginzuishou. In episode 037, Queen Beryl instructed Endymion to work with Kunzite. Both refused, saying that they preferred to do things their own way. Queen Beryl agreed with this arrangement as long as they brought her Sailor Moon's corpse and the Ginzuishou as soon as possible. Endymion began intruding upon Kunzite's schemes, annoying him and often entirely ruining the plan. He would appear during the youma's battle with the Sailor Senshi and instruct the youma not to kill Sailor Moon; he wanted to be the one to collect the Ginzuishou. This led to a fierce rivalry between the two men.

Not quite so evil: On several occasions, Endymion began to remember his past fighting with the Sailor Senshi instead of against them. On these occasions, the black roses he threw would flicker red for a brief instant before turning black again to represent his commitment to the Dark Kingdom. Endymion also maintained at least some code of ethics while he was working for the Dark Kingdom. In episode 039, for instance, he became very angry when the youma Janelyn & Misha harmed an innocent bystander in their search for Sailor Moon. He expressed the same sentiment in episode 040, when a lake monster he awakened went out of control and began harming innocent civilians. After Sailor Moon healed the lake monster and freed her of her ancient jealousy, he was happy to see that it worked out well.

Almost healed: In episode 041, Queen Beryl assigned Endymion the task of capturing the seven former Nijizuishou carriers with the Kurozuishou. The Dark Kingdom hoped that although the former youma had been healed by Sailor Moon, they would be able to use their energy and the power of the Kurozuishou to transform them back into youma. After they were reunited, it was hoped that they would come together to form one extremely powerful youma to destroy the Sailor Senshi. Endymion managed to capture six of the former Nijizuishou carriers before Sailor Mercury destroyed the Kurozuishou, freeing them all. After she destroyed it, she and Sailor Jupiter attacked with Supreme Thunder and Sabão Spray to stun Endymion long enough for Sailor Moon to use Moon Healing Escalation. His memories came flooding back to him, and he was fully healed. He collapsed, but was quickly transported back to the Dark Kingdom by Queen Beryl. The queen realized that his memories of the past were still not completely erased, so this time, she transfered Queen Metallia's energy directly to Mamoru's body to ensure that he became a faithful Dark Kingdom servant. In episode 042, Endymion was brainwashed once again. This time, he was put under a much more intense brainwashing carried out with the energy of Queen Metallia herself, who said that Endymion's energy shared the same wavelength as hers and that he was worthy of inheriting her energy.
