The romance between Serena/Usagi and Darien/Mamoru has been
a very jumpy one since the start of the show. The two didn't really hit it off that well till much later in the first season
of Sailor Moon, when the past is brought to light. Throughout the first season we get hints as to who is who and how the past
ties into the story but never enough to make a clear decision. The romance really begins to show at the beginning of Zoisite's
quest to get the Rainbow Crystals and the Silver Crystal. This is when Darien/Mamoru first discovers he is Tuxedo Mask/Kamen
and starts to understand the dreams he is having. In one of the episodes an artist (Peggy Jones in English) asks to have Darien
and Serena be her models. In her studio Serena discovers a picture and shows it to Darien, who realizes that it is a scene
from his own dreams. Him, giving the Moon Princess the Locket from so long ago. Darien/Mamoru continues to get the
visions till the Moon Princess is discovered in the Episode 30 "Crystal Clear Destiny" or (34 Japanese). In this episode the
Moon Princess is reveled and the two lost lovers from long ago are freed. Darien/Mamoru is captured by Beryl and pitted against
the Scouts/Senshi, but his love breaks through in the end and he always manages to not destroy Sailor Moon, but save her.
He is finally totally brainwashed by Beryl for Episode 40 "Day of Destiny" or (45-46 Japanese). Darien/Mamoru attacks
Sailor Moon in the form of Prince Endymion/Darien, but is freed of the evil spell by the love deep inside opened by the Moon
Locket song, which only played for the two lovers destined to be together (awwww, thats so sweeeeet!!).
