Aired: 18th October 2003
Girls keep getting attacked by a monster outside a shrine and being pulled into an alternate dimension. The shrine is the Hikawa Shrine, where Rei is a priestess. Usagi defends Rei from a mob of angry people who think it's Rei's fault. However, the two still don't get along amazingly well, even after it turns out that Rei is the third Sailor Guardian, and, as Sailor Mars, she almost single-handedly kills the monster that was kidnapping the girls.
