Green Esmeraude (known as Emerald in the English dub) is the second of the Black Moon Clan to appear. She is a selfish and vain woman who tries to emanate a goddess-like appearance by wearing an elegant, tight-fitting dress along with opera-length gloves and knee-high stiletto boots. She has a very distinctive laugh that is extremely loud and piercing, and is generally the most comedic member of the Black Moon.    In the anime, Esmeraude is the successor to Rubeus, deliberately passing up the chance to save his life from an exploding spaceship. She is completely infatuated with Prince Demand, who is obsessed with Sailor Moon. Consumed by her jealousy and greed, Esmeraude goes to Wiseman with the desire to have Demand and ruin Sailor Moon. He presents her with a magical tiara which, he claims, will make her the queen of Neo-Tokyo. Suspecting a catch, she accepts the gift and is instantly transformed into a 'queen'. Her power increases and she believes Demand will be all hers. She then becomes overwhelmed by the dark powers and changes into an evil dragon. She immediately proceeds to attack the Crystal Palace while the Sailor Senshi face her, unaware that the monster is Esmeraude. She attacks, but at the last moment, Sailor Moon fires an attack at the dragon, defeating it. Esmeraude briefly reappears as the queen she wanted to be, surrounded by a heavenly glow, but a dark void opens up underneath her. Unable to save herself, Esmeraude slips into the dark vortex, and vanishes into nothingness while reaching her hand outward. She whispers Demand's name after her disappearance.    In the manga, Esmeraude's obsession with Demand still exists. After failing to kill the Sailor Senshi using her subordinates Chiral and Achiral, she attacks Chibiusa in the 30th century, after taking off her gloves to reveal her monster-like hands. After trying to strangle Chibiusa, she is briefly stopped by Sailor Venus. Sailor Moon attempts to use Moon Princess Halation on Esmeraude, but it doesn't work. Esmeraude then proceeds to use her now multiple hands to strangle Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus, and Tuxedo Mask. When King Endymion's spirit appears behind Tuxedo Mask, allowing him to use Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber, Tuxedo Mask uses his new power to kill Esmeraude, freeing the other two Sailor Senshi.

Usagi Tsukino is a normal girl until she meets up with Luna, a talking cat, who tells her that she is Sailor Moon. As Sailor Moon, Usagi must fight evils and enforce justice, in the name of the Moon and the mysterious Moon Princess. She meets other girls destined to be Sailor Senshi (Sailor Scouts), and together, they fight the forces of evil!

Notes: 
- The tankoubon release contains 52 Acts and 9 bonus chapters across 18 volumes; chapter/volume counts follow the tankoubon release. 
- The shinsouban release contains the original 52 Acts plus 8 new Acts across 12 volumes, but no bonus chapters as all 9 were released separately in <a href="https://anilist.co/manga/38552/">Sailor Moon Short Stories</a> alongside another bonus chapter that was previously released in an artbook. 
- The kanzenban release contains both the 60 Acts and the 10 bonus chapters from the short story shinsoubans across 10 volumes.

The season is divided into two arcs. 
The first arc shows Usagi and Co. having their memories restored from the first season. Their enemies are a pair of aliens, Ail and Ann, who are seeking human energy to restore their life tree. Mamoru had yet to recover his memories and he appeared as the Moonlight Knight rather than Tuxedo Kamen. This arc only lasted for 13 episodes. 
The second arc introduces Chibi-Usa, a little girl from the future who is searching for the Silver Crystal. The new enemies are the Black Moon Clan, comprising of the Ayakashi sisters (Cooan, Beruche, Karaberas, and Petz), Rubeus, Safir, Esmeraude, Prince Demando, and Wiseman. They too want the Silver Crystal so that they can take over the future. The Sailor Senshi's adventure continues...

Tsukino Usagi is a clumsy crybaby, but otherwise very cheerful 8th grade student. One day she meets a cat named Luna with a crescent moon on her head, and is transformed into the sailor-suited guardian of love and justice, Sailor Moon! As a chosen guardian of justice, Usagi has a mission … to find her comrades; to find the Phantom Silver Crystal; and protect the Princess. However, Queen Beryl of the Dark Kingdom also seeks the terrible power of the Silver Crystal, and sends her agents into the city where Usagi lives; triggering the start of a fierce battle.
 
Will Sailor Moon be able to find the other Sailor Guardians, and if she does, together can they find the Phantom Silver Crystal and protect the Princess?!
