"Diamond isn't a typical villain in Sailor Moon. Instead, he's one of those
tragic characters that, as fate would have it, is misled and follows the
wrong path without realizing. He's calm, patient, strong, slightly insane,
a bit too obsessed with a certain heroine (but we all have our faults, ne?),
caring, and most importantly he has a heart. Unlike other villains, Diamond's
character grows and changes until we don't just see an evil man bent on
taking over the world, but we see a loyal prince who grieves over his mistakes
and truly feels sorry for the wrongs he has done. That's what makes Prince
Diamond such a worthy koibito."
