- "I always get everything that I want. Everything."
- —Prince Diamond, Ep. #67
Prince Diamond, also referred to as simply Diamond (by his younger brother, Sapphire), is the leader of the Negamoon Family. He is in love with Sailor Moon, while Emerald is in love with him. His name is based off the gemstone Diamond, which he also wears as a pendant on his jacket.
Character biography[]
Prince Diamond was among those banished to Planet Nemesis after the attempted invasion of Crystal Tokyo. So he attempted to get revenge by attacking Crystal Palace, but found it to be invincible, so he sent Rubeus into the past to take over the crystal points in Tokyo, and also to find Rini, who also traveled into the past with the silver crystal.
After the death of Rubeus, Diamond made his first appearance at the end of Episode 27 (though he was mentioned in the previous episode). He sent a droid named Grim Man into Rini's dreams, but Grim Man was destroyed by Sailor Moon.
Afterward, Emerald devised a plan to take over Tokyo, but her plans were foiled by the Sailor Scouts. Diamond called Emerald back to the future after a while.
When the Sailor Scouts traveled to the future, Diamond tried to hypnotize Sailor Moon into loving him, but she escaped with the help of Tuxedo Mask.
Diamond was so in love with Sailor Moon that he did not realize how volatile or fragile the dark crystal was, and that putting new energy into it could make it explode. His adviser, Wiseman, clearly did, and Diamond's younger brother Sapphire suspected him.
After Emerald's death, Wiseman turned Rini into Wicked Lady. Diamond traveled into the past with Wiseman, Wicked Lady, Sapphire, and the Dark Crystal. Soon Sapphire discovered Wiseman’s true intentions, confirming his worst fears. He tried to warn Diamond, who initially did not believe him, but, against Diamond's orders, Wiseman killed his younger brother Sapphire right in front of him. From here, Diamond turned on Wiseman and said he would destroy him after he took over the world, unaware that Wiseman's power was greater than his own.
Diamond unsuccessfully attempted to hypnotize Sailor Moon again, and he soon realized that Sapphire was telling the truth, and Wiseman was manipulating him all along (their original goals did not even involve destruction). Diamond fought Wiseman to avenge Sapphire and Emerald's deaths, but Wiseman directed an attack at Sailor Moon. Diamond jumped in front of her and was impaled by the dark spears. He then blasted Wiseman, seemingly killing him. However, as Diamond was dying in Sailor Moon's arms, Wiseman came back together.
Attacks[]
- Diamond can shoot a white energy ball, a white energy beam, or hypnotize people with the third eye on his head. This eye only ever appears to hypnotize.
Trivia[]
- In the original Japanese version, his name was "Prince Demande", and while it has been confirmed his gem is diamond, it is still unknown of the language origin of the name Naoko Takeuchi chose for this character.
- In Prince Diamond's final episode, "Diamond in the Rough", the shot of him beginning to bleed out after Wiseman's attack, and he collapses into Sailor Moon's arms was cut from syndication.
