| In the live action version, Mamoru is a much more silent, yet dedicated person. He is in search of the Silver Crystal due to his amnesia and dreams that told him that the magical object could restore his memories. To do this, he donned the Tuxedo Kamen disguise and became a thief, searching for the legendary crystal. Once his memories of his past and present lives were restored, he assumed his Endymion form to help the Senshi and tried his best to protect Usagi from the dangerous aspects of overusing the Silver Crystal. However, this went a bit too far when he joined the Dark Kingdom to understand more of the link between the Silver Crystal and Metaria (though he also went to protect not only Usagi, but the Shitennou, who Beryl threatened to kill if he did not join her). Learning that the Silver Crystal made Metaria stronger every time Sailor Moon used it, Endymion took Metaria into his body before succumbing to its dark power. Now an evil parody of himself, Dark Prince Endymion, he almost killed Sailor Mercury when Sailor Moon was forced to kill him to stop Metaria. He was revived once Sailor Moon managed to finally control the Crystal's power and destroyed Metaria for good.
In Act Zero, Mamoru reveals to Usagi that he became Tuxedo Mask due to a event in his childhood when he met a masked man in a tuxedo who cheered him up and placed a band-aid on his scrape. Afterward he told Usagi that he'd been making it up, but the masked man was visible in the background even as Mamoru teased her. |
