Information[]
Background[]
Ail, along with An, came from an alien planet, whose beings depended on the Makai Tree for life. It was the tree that gave life to all the aliens, Ail included. All the aliens on the planet eventually got greedy and fought over the tree among themselves. Ail, along with An, became the only survivors of their race. The tree relocated to earth, in the hope to teach its beings love over greed.
Sailor Moon R[]
Ail and An invaded Earth to drain energy from humans for the Makai Tree. Ail takes the form of a human boy, Seijuro, and attends Juban Public Middle School.
He develops a crush on Usagi but keeps this from An.
In Episode 9, Ail began eating food with Makoto, which made An jealous, so she attacked them. This led to the arrival of the Sailor Guardians, and Ail and An sending Cardian Utonberino after them.
In Episode 10, Ail was disappointed that he was not Prince Charming in the Snow White play, and Usagi was not Snow White. He crashed the play (in which An was Snow White and Mamoru was Prince Charming) by sending Cardian Bipierrot to drain energy.
In Episode 11, Ail targets Mamoru to drain his energy for An, who was losing energy while in detention with Usagi.
In Episode 13, Ail and An fought the Sailor Guardians, but Ail protected Usagi from the Makai Tree. He soon came to realize that what they were doing was wrong, and was the first to truly learn the power of love when he saw that Sailor Moon was in love with Mamoru. When An attacked the Moonlight Knight, the Makai Tree whipped Ail with its branches and attempted to stab him, but An took the hit and died of her injuries. The Makai Tree explained to Ail and the Sailor Guardian that it was not evil, and the energy it needed was love energy. After the Makai Tree was healed by Sailor Moon, An was brought back to life by the Tree of Life. Ail and An left with the Makai Tree to start a new, peaceful life with it with the new understanding of real love they had for each other.
