gem facts
zoisite is very brittle, is glassy in lustre and will crack perfectly when struck. it is found in regionally metamorphosed rocks
such as calcoreous, schists and shales. it's colour varies in blues, greens, pinks, whites and gray.
powers
zoisite's power os centred around the natural world. if you've noticed, alot of his powers corncern ice, cherry blossoms, and fire
which are all reflections of nature.
- when he teleports he is surrounded by cherry blossoms
the tale
zoisite was the third shitennou, but first appeared when nephrite was "promoted". zoisite was probably the most ruthless of the
four, never considering the consequences or outcome of anything when it involed something he wanted- the murder of nephrite
being a perfect example. in the anime he was apparently alot more evil/crazy; this could be taken as one of zoisite's fatal flaws.
he was responsible for retrieving all 7 nijizuishou so the ginzuisho could be found and it's power used to release the dark
kingdom.
genderbender
probably the one thing most complained about when concerning the dubbed episoes of sailor moon is the fact that zoisite was
changed from male to female. in the original, japanese version zoisite was male, while in the dubbed, north american
version zoisite was changed to a female. "why?" you ask, well because of his gay relationship with kunzite. In japan, their
culture is more accepting of things considered '"taboo" in our culture, so dic changed the gender of zoisite. it was pulled
it off pretty nicely considering how in most scenes zoisite looks more female than male, also (so i hear) dic decided it would be
good to to have a female villain (seeing is how the first season only had a witch queen and a giant orange bubble).
the original
while collecting the nijizuishou tuxedo kamen repeatedly interfeared with his plans by trying to get them for himself.
because of this, it caused alot of problems for zoisite back at home because tuxedo kamen had retieved two of the crystals.
after much chewing out he and kunzite devised a plan to capture him. zoisite dressed up like sailor moon (This must have
been funny when zoisite was male) and lured tuxedo kamen into his trap (how he fell for that is beyond me).they battled
over them while kunzite distracted the senshi, but in the end tuxedo kamen's identity was revealed and kunzite and zoisite
were summoned back before they could finish off the the senshi and tuxedo kamen. when beryl learned of his true identity,
she wanted him alive and ordered them to leave him unharmed. this enraged zoisite furthar. he and kunzite devised another
plan to capture him, but zoisite had his own ideas. after luring tuxedo kamen (yet again) into another trap, in his weakness
from the previous battle, zoisite found it too irrisistable and tried to kill him twice. the first was by sending a huge firestorm
down on him while tuxedo kamen and usagi were in the elevator and the second by sending a large ice sword at him which
pierced him through the back.
in the end ...
after zoisite was defeted by the power of the ginzuisho and seriously injured he and kunzite were summoned by queen
beryl. zoisite tried to pass it off as an accident but beryl was to enraged to let him off. queen beryl said she saw through his
lies and deception and knew what he was trying to do. for disobeying orders she sent a powerful blast at zoisite, ultimately
killing him. he died in kunzite's arms. in the dub, her dying wish was that kunzite wouldn't forget her. in the anime he
wanted to die pretty so kunzite conjured a shower of rose petals for him. this touched zoisite very much and told kunzite
"i've grone very attached to you ... i love you kunzaito-sama" (interesting how zoisite still added master to kunzite's name.)
this statement also makes you wonder if this was ever spoken before. but sadly, in either version you choose, kunzite blames
himself for zoisite's death.
in my humble opinion
zoisite is vindictive, ruthless, backstabbing, immature and would kill his own mother to get ahead, but that why i like the guy.
he knows how to get what he wants, and will do it in any concieveable way - this also usually resulted in him getting in alot of
trouble with his queen, which adds another quality ot the list, he knew how to talk his way out of problems, well, until the very
end that is. i think he is easily the most popular out of the four, because he had the most screen time, and because he was so
entertaining to watch. good o'le zoisite - the king you love to hate.
