Hotaru is confirmed to be the reincarnation and vessel for Sailor Saturn, the guardian of death and destruction. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto resolve to execute her, believing the spirit cannot survive without a host. The other Senshi, particularly Sailor Chibi Moon, refuse to allow Hotaru to die simply because she is the harbinger of silence. Simultaneously, Rei discloses her recurring nightmares and visions of imminent global annihilation caused by the Messiah’s full awakening. This revelation highlights the growing tension between the desire to eliminate the perceived threat and the determination to protect Hotaru as a friend, setting the stage for a critical confrontation regarding her existence and the world's survival.
