#23 Hotaru’s Big Gamble
Hi! I'm Chibi Jen and I've been making cute and fun Sailor Moon comic strips since 2009. If you enjoy my comics, please consider tipping to show your appreciation. Thanks for the support ❤
Narrator: In order to save the Sailor Senshi, Hotaru must win the Daimon in a game of ‘Old Maid’
Hotaru (thinking): Which one is the joker and which is the Ace of Hearts..?
[[Hotaru is holding an Ace card in her hand]]
Chibiusa: Hotaru-chan, you can do it! We believe in you!
Hotaru (thinking): This will decide everyone’s fate…here goes..
[[Hotaru draws a Joker]]
Hotaru: *devastated* Joo..okkerr??
[[Chibiusa throws a chair at the Daimon's head]]
Chibiusa: Die, you cheater! With everyone believing in Hotaru, how can she possibly pick the Joker?
Daimon: I didn’t do anything!
Hotaru (thinking): Which one is the joker and which is the Ace of Hearts..?
[[Hotaru is holding an Ace card in her hand]]
Chibiusa: Hotaru-chan, you can do it! We believe in you!
Hotaru (thinking): This will decide everyone’s fate…here goes..

Maybe Hotaru should have hidden a card up her sleeve to keep that from happening.
It’s sad, the Daimon just wanted to have someone to play with her. But no redemption for you, we don’t attempt to reason with monsters of the day! Die, non-human scum!
hahaah yup…this pretty much ^^!
gotta love chibiusa!!! or…the chair!lol beware the chibiusa!
Chibiusa should have told Hotaru to trust in the heart of the cards, that always works for that Yugi Moto brat.
saturn: this will decide everyone’s fate
me: HEART OF THE CARDS!!!
we think alike. yay
cute! i have this subtitle episodes! sailor moon s,isn’t t?
Got that right. It definitely is Sailor Moon S
****screaming***
GO CHIBIUSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol. I have this episode on tape in english.
no! hotaru actually picked ace of hearts but it is still cute
LOL!!! so funny:D anyway wat episode is this???
haha it’s episode 118 :D
HOW COULD HOTARU PICK THE JOKER INDEED
NAUGHTY BAD PERSON HOTARU NEVER LOSES
lol love your reaction
WHEN I WATCHED THIS EPISODE SHE ALWAYS LOST… except at this point she won (srry 4 butting in)
what episode did this happen????
anyway… VARY FUNNY:3
Thanks! It was in ep 118 of S season :)
LOL! And then Triple H comes in, and smashes Rini with a folding steel chair, lol.
Luv your work!
Thanks Dr. Rorschach 8D
No, thank you!
…And then, Edge appears and spears HHH, while JR says “Bahw Gawd!”
hey, chibi jennifer,in the plot 1 you write a monster with a name daimon. it’s not daimon, but daimohn!
I’m pretty sure it’s daimon :)
That’s way more clever than I was excptieng. Thanks!
is that a chair chibiusa throwing?how come the chair’s legs are that short?and the chair looks like a hat…
lol yes it is a chair. As for the shape and size of the chair….errr.. my bad drawing XD
It took me a while to get it since I haven’t watched theseries for years, but I burst out laughing when I did!
Even if Hotaru did lose, I’m sure she would go all “Messiah of Silence” and rip everything apart with creepy dark purple eyes…
Great job, Chibi-chan!
Thanks! Yeah..go Messiah of Silence ;) hehehe
Wahaaa. This is my very favorite funny comic on MoonSticks! I love that daimon, Ikasaman! I think Ikasaman’s face on the strip-4 is funny. What a brilliant idea!
Love MoonSticks! >w<
Thank you so much :D I love Ikasaman too, just gotta include her in a comic ^^
Oh my god this is too funny!!! I agree when I saw that episode, I couldn’t help but crack up. Everyone’s lives were on the line and they made it seem like their faith in her somehow improved the odds lol:)
Thanks Peter!! Exactly my thoughts 8D
What did she do? She made Hotaru feel bad! That’s bad enough…Hotaru’s adorable!!! *laughs*
ahah yesh, poor Hotaru. She deservvvveeess to win!
Ni Hao! Jeannette here. (lol) Looks like U-Ikasaman just got pwned! Hotaru Tomoe (the good side of her), you really stuck it to the enemy today!
lol. Had to laugh at the “Ni Hao! Jeannette here.”
LOL! I love this one! Just believe, huh?
YUP! ^___^
I loved that episode! She shouldn’t have underestimated Chibiusa and Hotaru 8-)
One of my favorites so far, great job!
Thanks Mamo-chan!
XD Utterly BRILLIANT! That’s just how Chibiusa would react too!
:D Thannnks!
panel 01 looks creepy and panel 04 is the best. her face looks hilarious lmao
oh the eyes do it all XD
wonder why she didn’t cheat in that one – it’s so easy to cheat. :p
ahaha yesh! That’s the weird-funny thing XD
She obviously cheated in the other games against the senshi (and they were all done obviously, too) XD
God I’m going to have to find a way to get the DVDs so I can rewatch this series. Even if it is in Japanese with english subs.
Isn’t Japanese with English subs awesome? 8D
You had to explain the rules of old Maid? I thought everyone knew that game.
hmmm..yeh, quite a few people have told me they don’t know the game.. maybe they know it under a different name.
Hilarious stuff, thanks Chibi Jenn!
I love the Daimon Uikasaman. She was quite powerful to have the ability to create dimensional warps at will(proof that Tomoe should add more to that oven…). However, like all powerful beings, they’re just interested in the most simple things. In her case, playing games(cheating is more like it).
Thanks ^^
Uikasaman was so amusing to watch.. I love drawing her XD XD This is the second time I’ve drawn her lol.
And I agree, she was powerful.. why didn’t Mimete throw more stuff together and only for one episode? I guess she got scared and ran away, lol.
I didn’t understand why the daimon didn’t really cheat on the last game? I mean she obviously blew-up chess pieces and stuff, it’s not like she was trying to hide the fact she cheated ^^;; Especially when she had her two final cards faced down, she could have easily changed whatever card Hotaru picked.
:D lol Mimet is like that, easily freaked out. Unless she commits cold blooded murder out of a grudge…*cough* Eugeal *cough*
Very true, but the episode had to progress. In favor of the good guys. ;) I’m glad plot devices were in Hotaru’s favor for that scene, as it was so cute watching her smiling face upon picking the right card. :love:
She did cheat at this one. Sorta. She knew which card was which when she placed them face down (She marked the corner) and tried to Bully Hotaru into picking the Joker.
Yeh she did cheat but it was not exactly 100% fail-proof. Ultimately, it was still up to Hotaru to pick which ever she wanted.
Heh, that was humorous! Thanks for the laughs!
Thank you =)
lol poor hotaru-chan
ahhahah
^^; Hotaru is devastated. I blame the senshi for the pressure!! They kept saying “We believe in youuu” XD
I would be soooo nervous if my friends’ life depending on me picking the right card!
i thought it was funny:)
I just havent seen the episode haha
aw really? It’s quite a funny filler episode ^_^ You should watch it sometime if you can..it’s episode 118 :)
I….think it would help me understand this comic if I knew how to play Old Maid. and…if I remembered that episode ^^;;
whoops! I should have put a bit of explanation there. *insert explanation* ^^;
Really, it’s pretty pathetic that I don’t know how to play “old maid.”
Yeays! Hotoru’s my favorite! ^.^
THAT CHEATER! XD
Is it just me or has your art style changed ever-so slightly? Awesome job as usual!
Thanks ^.^
It’s funny how the senshi actually trust the daimon to let them free if they win. lol, she’s been cheating her way through the whole time.
And… I’m not sure if my style has changed or not ^^;; I think it’s hard for me to tell. Maybe..? XD
lol the 4th frame is so funny! i love it when bad guys are mocked by the good guys =P
lol, thanks XD Daimon got owned pretty bad. She’s innocent. XD
I remember this episode! It was one of my favorites from that season. X3
Seems like this episode sure is a popular one :D
omg hahahaha funny. i was recently watcing this ep haha. i luv it how u actually get ur facts straight and everything is accurate compared to the show. i check ur site every friday so please keep up the gd wrk!
Thank you for visiting ^_^!
I don’t mind rewatching the episodes again, it’s quite enjoyable :D
HAHHAHA!!! Seems everyone loves this daimon, so do I!! And yeah, I’ve always wondered what would happen if she had failed, but you just cleared that up. HAha!!! Awesome as always.
Thank you Cycyn! You’re the best ^-^
I’ve sent a link to these comics to about 38523899 people. HILARIOUS. XD Thank you so much.
awww..thanks so much! :D
Haha. This was my favourite Daimon!!!
Loved the joke. Great piss take on anime logic that believing in someone maes anything possible.
Thanks Brad!! Yesh, she was one awesome Daimon! ^____^
Good to know you dig this joke XD
Yay, Hotaru-chan!! <3 This is one of my favorite episodes, Hotaru-Chibiusa friendship is probably my favorite. Speaking of episodes, the Moonsticks you base on episodes are really accurate. I'm positive Hotaru was holding the Ace of Spades before she was picking the cards… I think, seriously though I need to stop watching S so much. ^.^ Great work on another comic, keep up the great work!
hehe thanks Kawaii SIlence :D!
And wow… you actually remember Hotaru was holding the ace of spades??? XD I cheated and rewatched the episode to refresh my memory 8D
I didn’t remember until I saw the comic and was like ‘yeah that was what she was holding’. Yeah, like I said I’ve watched Super way too much, and even more then just watching my favorite episodes of that season. (and any with Hotaru rock, as for any of the other outer senshi. ;]) Hey, at least you bothered to re-watch it to get everything strait. If I ever did comics or fan stuff I wouldn’t bother and just take a wild guess at it.
XD this is awesome! i really love all your of the Moonsticks ♥
Thank you chiibiusa :3!
hahaha I always wondered about the “if she failed scenario”. XD
lol yesh. XD
What if the senshi did all just die in there? O_O They would have taken down the messiah too!
In all honesty…I think Hotaru would have fainted…and then she would have went “messiah” mode and went like “Noooo…I won’t allow this” ::crazy glowy eyes and rips down the entire dimension:: XD
Though the only really “pointless” daimon, one still has to feel sorry for hir here…
Loved this daimon <3
XD She looks so funny you can’t even take her seriously.
HEHEHE
Really fanny I love it^^
I like this little Chibiusa in the last frame^^ and Hotaru’s mouth is sooo big in the 3rd frame hehehe so funny 8D
Yea, in Sailor Soon when you trust someone, he MUST win -_-;
Thank youu :D! hehee..it’s true! Believe and everything will be ok :D
LOL!!!! Hilarious!! YAY! More Hotaru!!
I loved this episode heaps too
haha funny how you had her pull out a joker XD
YAY, thanks! This was one of the more memorable episodes of Super for me ^^ Proof filler episodes can be very entertaining 8D
It took me a little while to get this one, but when I did get it, I burst out laughing! XD Awesome job, as usual!
Thank you SGR :D! Glad you got the joke in this one ^_____^
