Changes from the Manga[]

  • She received help to make the Grail, but it was from Mamoru and Usagi.
  • Chibiusa's teacher said that all the kids should give their sculptures to their most important person, as a token of gratitude and friendship. She wanted to give the cup to Hotaru Tomoe.
  • Neither Michiru nor Chibiusa took art classes.

Dub Changes[]

  • In the Cloverway English dub, Amara mentions Michelle's ex-boyfriend Mike, who was never mentioned in any episode of the original version of the series.
    • Haruka also says that she doesn't want Michiru to look at anyone else. This line was replaced with a more trivial one in this episode, possibly to avoid any clue to Haruka's sexual orientation.
  • In the Cloverway English dub, Professor Tomoe accidentally calls a pizza shop, replacing the ramen shop from the original.
