Story of the Movie
Ami's First Love Short Film
Before the main Sailor Moon SuperS movie, a 16-minute short film was shown. It was called Ami's First Love. In this short, Ami Mizuno struggles to focus on her schoolwork. She finds a strange love letter and faces a rival named "Mercurius." This rival matches Ami's perfect scores on school tests. Ami wonders if Mercurius is a monster or a handsome boy. The short film shows Ami's new transformation and a stronger water attack.
The Black Dream Hole Adventure
The main story begins in Europe, where a young man named Poupelin plays his flute. He hypnotizes children, leading them onto a mysterious ship that flies into the sky. In Tokyo, Usagi Tsukino, Chibiusa, and their friends are baking cookies. Chibiusa makes delicious cookies and goes to give some to Mamoru Chiba. On her way, she meets a boy with butterfly wings named Perle. He plays his flute, making treats in a shop window dance.
Meanwhile, Usagi visits Mamoru, and they hear news about children disappearing worldwide. That night, Chibiusa starts walking through the city while asleep. Usagi and the other Sailor Guardians follow her and the other hypnotized children. They save Chibiusa but are attacked by Poupelin and his "Bonbon Babies." Poupelin tries to trick the girls with a spell, but Mamoru helps them break free.
The villain, Queen Badiane, orders her helpers, Poupelin, Banane, and Orangeat, to hurry. Perle, who had befriended Chibiusa, starts to doubt Queen Badiane. He no longer believes her promise that the children would be happy forever in her dream world. The villain's ships land at Marzipan Castle. Inside, children are sleeping in "Dream Coffins." Queen Badiane explains her plan: she is collecting their "sugar energy" to create a massive Black Dream Hole. This hole will eventually take over Earth, trapping everyone in dream coffins.
Perle helps the Sailor Guardians reach the castle in his own flying ship. They are attacked and crash-land. They fight Poupelin, Banane, Orangeat, and the Bonbon Babies. Just when things look bad, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, and Sailor Pluto arrive to help. Together, they break the villains' flutes, turning them into small birds.
The Guardians enter the castle and face Queen Badiane. She has drained enough dream energy to make the Black Dream Hole very powerful. The power drain weakens most of the Sailor Soldiers. Queen Badiane takes Chibiusa into the Black Dream Hole, and Usagi follows. Usagi finds herself in a strange dream, but she soon realizes it's a trick.
Usagi tries to escape, but Badiane attacks her. The other seven Sailor Guardians send their power to Usagi. This helps Chibiusa wake up. Together, Usagi and Chibiusa use their Moon Gorgeous Meditation attack to defeat Queen Badiane. Marzipan Castle is destroyed. With Perle's help, the Sailor Guardians escape. The airships carrying the children return to Earth.
Later, at a beach, Perle gives Chibiusa his glass flute. He tells her he is a fairy who protects children's dreams and will always be with her. Chibiusa kisses him goodbye. The Sailor Guardians watch the sunrise as Perle flies away.
