"I'll never forgive you." The final story arc of Seiya pulling Prince Demande and turning into a super villain obsessed with Usagi sure was something. Unfortunately Mamoru had already left to America and missed the whole thing. The Starlights did directly tell Usagi a couple episodes ago that her friends only truly disappear if she gives up. I guess they just figured that a male idol group would be more popular with them singing love songs about their princess and stuff? I guess it also helps to hide their Sailor identities. The out-of-universe reason for them disguising themselves as boys is that Naoko Takeuchi just really, really likes the Takarazuka Revue theater that includes male roles being played by women (who get a ton of fangirls IRL.) Haruka was also inspired by them and apparently she and Michiru were even originally going to be Takarazuka theater members, but that idea was scrapped. I hear Naoko wasn't a big fan of this version actually having the three transform into men, because it misses that inspiration and because she has stated that Sailor Guardians are a female-only thing (personally I don't really see the issue there, because it's ultimately just disguises.) Mamoru is like the male equivalent.
