served Professor Tomoe. After the first death of Kaolinite, they took over the task of extracting Pure Hearts. Their room is behind a door labeled "Witches 5". Comically, after Eudial's death, a poster is put up near the end of the writing so it says "Witches 4". After Mimete's death, another poster is put up to make it read "Witches 3".
Anime
Eudial is the leader of the Witches 5, and the first to extract Pure Hearts. Her methods involve her using a Heart Crystal capture gun to extract Pure Hearts, then summoning a Daimon Heart Snatcher to destroy the Sailor Senshi if they attempted to interfere. She usually drives a car to get to her targets, and attack by using flamethrowers. Unlike the other Witches, she does not seem to use magic powers to fight as much as she uses machines and her own inventions. Although, she has been shown to be using some sort of magic, as she is shown teleporting in a similar manner to Kaolinite. She was killed when she crashed her car over a cliff as a result of Mimete cutting the brakes to her vehicle.
Mimete is the second of the Witches 5 who always picked on Eudial. Her Daimon Heart Snatchers suck their victims' Pure Hearts out through their mouth. Her targets are always well-known attractive young men. She uses her Charm Buster attack to emit painful sonic waves. She once decided to use Eudial's Electric Warp Device to increase her power, but was killed when Tellu pulled the plug on her machine and trapped her inside of it for stealing her job.
Tellu is the third of the Witches 5. Her strategy involved using plants called Telluns to extract Pure Hearts. She attacks by using vines that can electrocute her victims. But one of her plants, whom she transformed into a plant monster named Hyper-Tellun, attacked her
Viluy is the fourth of the Witches 5. Her strategy involved using a master computer to extract Pure Hearts from exam takers of Mugen School. She uses a bracelet called a nanocuff to shoot a nano ray that can dissolve her enemies, but this bracelet was damaged by Sailor Moon, and thus the nano ray turned on her and dissolved her.
Cyprine is the fifth of the Witches 5, and shares her mind and body with Ptilol. They attack by shooting energy waves from their staffs, and use a glass statue to extract Pure Hearts from the students of Mugen School. Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter tricked them into attacking each other, destroying them both.
Manga
In the manga, the Witches 5 were perfect Daimons created by Professor Tomoe. The

y took orders from Kaolinite and posed as students in Mugen Academy. They were also the administrative heads of their respective class: Eudial of Etiquette and Philosophy, Mimete of Performing Arts, Viluy of Science, Tellu of Physical Education, and Cyprine of Witch Training. They were each assigned to collect Hoste (or souls) and use their bodies as vessels for Daimon eggs. They only made brief appearances in the manga. Kaolinite resurrects them and they capture the inner senshi until Sailor Moon and the outer senshi destroy them permanently. In the manga, all of them displayed the Death Busters symbol (a black star) on their foreheads.
Musical

In the musicals, the Witches 5 made their first appearances in the fourth Sera Myu. Each of them appeared also in their human forms, however Ptilol wasn't included because of her being Cyprine. Each character had the same attacks as in the manga.
Trivia
- The Witches 5 are unique among the sub-enemy group of the anime and manga since unlike others, no possibility of redemption is ever approached. The Shitennou are bewitched by Metallia in the manga, the Ayakashi Sisters were indoctrinated by Wiseman and later healed by Sailor Moon in the anime, The Amazon Trio and the Amazoness Quartet become allies of the Senshi in their own free will and the Sailor Animamates were controlled by Sailor Galaxia with bracelets.
- The Witches 5 seem to be humans from Earth rather than humanoids from somewhere in space. Although Pharaoh 90, Germatoid and Mistress 9 were from space, the Witches 5 seemed to be regular students at the Mugen school that possibly became brainwashed or turned evil when Professor Tomoe became possessed first. Before he was being controlled, it it possible that they were just regular people. This is hinted at the fact that Mimete once considered leaving the Death Busters for fame and fortune, as if she had once being a normal woman before becoming evil. Another hint is Tellu's ID card, in which she seems like a happy innocent person.
