Kaolinite the Death Buster from Sailor Moon is having a bad day.
It seems that Kaolinite has been thwarted probably by another Death
Buster, now she has been feft in her underwear to struggle to get free.i
Kaolinite was a member of the Death Busters from the Sailor Moon S season of the anime and Infinity arc of the manga, and also appeared in some of the musicals. She was the first main enemy to appear from that group, and was soon shown to hold an important position in the Death Buster organization. She was also (she hoped) closest to the heart of her boss, Professor Tomoe.
In the anime, Kaolinite's most striking feature was her bust and the accompanying lack of clothing to cover it - her general attire was nothing more than a sleeveless red labcoat. She nevertheless held an important role in the Sailor Moon S season, as the second in command of the Death Busters, as well as potential lover of the Professor. She was primarily responsible with gathering the three Pure Heart Crystals that held the talismans, though later, her role in the Death Busters became more defined and complex as the dynamics of the organization became clearer.
Kaolinite was also the only enemy character in the anime to have been brought back from the dead. Hence, she had two incarnations: her first, original incarnation, and her second, "Kaori" incarnation.
In her first incarnation, Kaolinite was charged only with finding the three talismans. Kaolinite would use her senses to select a victim and would target them very carefully, then would take a Daimon Egg provided by Professor Tomoe and fuse it with an item that her intended victim enjoyed. When the victim later touched the object, the egg would mature into a Daimon, then would extract the Pure Heart Crystal slowly and painfully, usually with Kaolinite watching the process. If the Sailor Senshi intervened, she would sometimes leave or sometimes stay and fight using various powers. Among these powers were the ability to blast people with energy or to use her hair to choke them.
Despite the purity of her victims and the effectiveness of her attacks, Kaolinite did not find the talismans. Nor was she able to defeat the Sailor Senshi, though several times she came close to doing this - sometimes playing on the increasing tensions between the four Inner Senshi and Sailor Moon, and Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune. In fact, of the eight Senshi known during her tenure, she unknowingly extracted the crystals of Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, and Sailor Jupiter; she also extracted Sailor Moon's crystal twice, during which she learned the Senshi's true identity.
It was during the second extraction of Sailor Moon's heart crystal that Kaolinite eventually met her death. After she gained and subsequently lost the heart crystal before she could examine it, Kaolinite learned who Sailor Moon was and blackmailed Usagi into meeting her at Tokyo Tower and giving herself up in exchange for the life of Tuxedo Mask. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune, who drove Usagi to the tower, were the first to challenge Kaolinite, followed by the Inner Senshi, who attempted to trick Kaolinite and her Daimon with "Sailor venus Moon": Venus disguised as Sailor Moon in order to save their leader.
In the end, the girls were all forced to confront Kaolinite and her Daimon's sword, which threw shards of glass that would crystallize her targets. Combining their powers, Sailor Moon and the Inner Senshi managed to weaken her with Sailor Planet Attack, and Sailor Uranus' World Shaking reflected her attack back at her, encasing her in glass. Afterwards, parts of the building collapsed on her, and she was thrown off the side to Tokyo Tower and to her death.
After the Senshi left, though, Kaolinite's body was reanimated and transferred back to Professor Tomoe, to begin its second life.
"Kaori," as Kaolinite was then known, reappeared afte Eudial's death to a shocked Usagi and Chibiusa in episode 113. Her memories of being a Death Buster were initially either gone or suppressed, though either way she eventually remembered her mission to the Professor. Her previous powers were also apparently nonexistant.
During this incarnation it was revealed that Kaolinite, who was then acting as the caretaker and maid of the Tomoe household, had previously been with the Professor as his secretary for at least ten years prior. She had always had an intense dislike of Hotaru, even from the time Hotaru was a toddler, mainly because Hotaru took the Professor's attention away from her.
She was most likely the first person after Hotaru and the Professor to be implanted with the evil power of the Death Busters, and may have done this out of love for the Professor. One thing that dictated many of her thoughts and feelings was her unrequited crush on Professor Tomoe, and it became obvious that she was more than willing to do whatever it took to get him to acknowledge her in return.
As a result, the Witches 5 (Tomoe's other helpers) disliked Kaolinite. For example, Eudial reveled in the fact that she was dead the first time,Viluy mocked her openly as dead weight to the cause, and Cyprine decided to replace Kaolinite in the Professor's attentions. There was some justification for this as, when a Witch appeared to talk to the Professor, Kaolinite was sometimes seen alongside the Professor, serving him tea or massaging him instead of searching for heart crystals.
This did not diminish the fact that the Professor needed "Kaori" at his side. On top of being Hotaru's caretaker, Kaolinite was still the most reliable warrior Tomoe had in finding heart crystals to feed to and revive the Messiah of Silence. This led to her to be re-powered in episode 121 in order to re-take Hotaru after she had escaped Mugen Gakuen. This time in Death Buster form, she took to wearing the black dress which she would wear as the Magus in the manga.
Finally, Kaolinite became desperate to keep the Professor's attention on herself, and she finally decided to take the initiative in episode 123 by kidnapping Chibiusa for her heart crystal. Chibiusa's heart crystal was then fed to Hotaru during a revival ceremony, and Hotaru was transformed by its power into Mistress 9. For this, Kaolinite finally received some of the recognition she desired from the Professor, which seemed a stepping stone to her finally becoming the Professor's lover.
As she expressed her own thanks, however, she was rewarded with a blast of lightning from Mistress 9 which sent her into the deadly electrocution field that was first used to repel the Sailor Senshi from the revival ceremony. This was the permanent end of Kaolinite, for, as Mistress 9 said, "she is no longer needed."

This was the permanent end of Kaolinite, for, as Mistress 9 said, "she is no longer needed."
Eudial was the first member of the Witches 5 to appear in the Sailor Moon S season and Infinity arc. She showed tremendous expertise in computer programming and inventing weapons. Her powers were fire-based.
In the anime, Eudial's mission, given to her over the phone by Professor Tomoe, was to locate Tokyo civilians with Pure Hearts. Eudial created a program on her computer to observe the lives of everyone in Tokyo and select the most likely Pure-Hearted candidate. To extract these Pure Hearts, Eudial constructed the so-called Capture Gun that would shoot a projectile of energy and force the Heart Crystal out of the target.
After her computer selected her target, Eudial would pack a Daimon into her car (a white station wagon with the Death Busters symbol on the side) and drive out of the laboratory. Eudial's car would emerge from a secret entrance (in increasingly sillier areas of Tokyo), and she would drive off extremely erratically. Eudial had unfortunate luck in that her targets were nearly always acquaintances of the Sailor Senshi, and she was usually prevented from stealing the Heart Crystal by them. At that point Eudial would panic, call out the Daimon from her car, then leave the scene.
Eudial was present for nine episodes, the longest run of the Witches 5, and arguably made the greatest contributions for the Death Busters. While she was never able to actually steal any Heart Crystals, she did manage to locate two of the three owners of the Talismans as well as discover the civilian identities of Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus, Sailor Uranus, and Sailor Neptune. Also, besides inventing the Gun to extract Heart Crystals, she invented two flamethrowers, the Fire Buster and the Fire Buster II (which was much more powerful and had special features such as the ability to shoot glue).
After hearing of Professor Tomoe's dissatisfaction with her repeated failures and overhearing dangerous gossip about her from her coworker Mimete, Eudial rewrote her program for finding Pure Hearts to find the owners of two of the Talismans. To her surprise, the owners turned out to be Haruka and Michiru (it was unclear if the program would have showed Setsuna's picture as well, since the program only searched for two people), her main competition in the search for the Talismans. Since she knew their true identities, she left a phone message for them, telling them that she had located the Talisman owners and that if Haruka and Michiru wanted one last battle over them, they should come to the (currently under construction) Marine Cathedral.
They took the bait and arrived at the Cathedral, only to find that Eudial had booby-trapped it. After weakening the pair to exhaustion, she shot Sailor Neptune (who was attempting to protect Sailor Uranus) and then informed Uranus that she, too, had a Talisman. At that point the other Senshi showed up, distracting Eudial and knocking her down to another floor. Uranus, whose mission was to locate the Talisman all along, shot herself to release it. The Senshi thought that Uranus and Neptune were dead, but Sailor Mars was able to hear a faint pulse, bringing the theory that the Talisman keeper would have to be sacrificed into question. Eudial suddenly returned at this point, shot her Fire Buster II at the Senshi, and stole the two Talismans. Those Senshi who were able to chased after her, and Eudial used the glue attachment on her gun to immobilize all of them except for Sailor Moon. Eudial and Sailor Moon battled, with Eudial easily overpowering her Moon Spiral Heart Attack. At this point Sailor Pluto appeared, revealing that she held the third Talisman (the Garnet Orb at the top of her rod). She returned Uranus and Neptune's Heart Crystals and revived them, and the three Talismans formed the Holy Grail. At this point Eudial used her Fire Buster on the Senshi and ran towards the Holy Grail in order to steal it. Sailor Moon broke through the flames and caught up to Eudial. Sailor Moon got to the Holy Grail first and transformed into Super Sailor Moon for the first time. The force of the power from Super Sailor Moon sent Eudial flying out the window of the Cathedral.
Eudial, battered and beaten, got back into her car and proceeded to drive back home to the Witches 5 laboratory at her usual unsafe speed. When she was about to turn a corner, Eudial hit the brake to slow down, only to find that the brake had been completely removed from her car, replaced by tons of snails (her worst fear) and a nasty note from Mimete. Mimete then broadcast a taunting message on Eudial's radio. Eudial was unable to control her car and it broke through the guard rails, careening over a cliff and landing in the ocean.
Mimete is the second member of the Witches 5 to confront the Sailor Senshi. This is the original depiction of the character created by Naoko Takeuchi. Mimete is a Level 40 witch and the weakest member of the Witches 5. She is the Academy's Performing Arts instructor. As Mimi Hanyu, she is an idol singer with a cute and angelic voice who goes to Mugen Academy.
Mimete has short, wavy orange hair with darker orange eyes and light skin. She wears a black bra connected to a black skirt by a black diamond with many orange stars. She has a black necklace with a star connecting it to her top. She has an orange bracelet, orange underskirt and yellow tights. Her black sandals have have diamonds on with white straps higher up her legs. She wears a pearl tiara with lilac gems, similar to her lilac earrings.
In the manga, Mimete first appears as idol Mimi Hanyu, a teen idol giving a concert to celebrate the opening of the Infinity Academy Memorial Dome, which only students are allowed to attended.
During the concert, she attempts to steal the souls of the Infinity Academy students using her song. Minako Aino, who snuck into the concert disguised as a student, realizes that Mimete is an enemy, and transforms to fight her.
Sailor Venus then calls the other Sailor Senshi. Mimete requests help from Kaolinite, and she sends several Daimons. The Senshi are about to be overwhelmed when Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune defeat Mimete and the rest of the Daimons.
Mimete is briefly resurrected by Kaolinite, along with the other witches, in Act 34. After being separated from the other Senshi, Sailor Venus hears a song, causing her a headache. She remembers that she has heard the song before. Walking into a room, she is overwhelmed with cheers, and Mimete welcomes her as her "special guest". Venus is given a microphone, and is wrapped up in wires. Mimete urges her to sing, reminding her that her dream is to be an idol. This causes Minako to question if she wants to continue being a Senshi.
In the end, Mimete and the rest of the Witches 5 are destroyed for good by Space Sword Blaster, Submarine Reflection, and Chronos Typhoon.
Viluy is the third of the Witches 5 to confront the Sailor Senshi. This is the original depiction of the character created by Naoko Takeuchi. Viluy is a level 202 witch and the third strongest member of the Witches 5. Like the other members, she is capable of transforming into a Daimon, though her Daimon appearance was never shown. As Yui Bidou, she was the leader of the Science class at Infinity Academy.
In Act 30, she targeted Ami during her visit to Infinity Academy. She showed Ami around school and showed her a miniature version of the Tau Nebula. Viluy set up the computers in the school to extract Hoste from the victims and when she caught Ami, Haruka, and Michiru, she tried to do the same to them as well, but they were able to escape. After Ami transformed into Sailor Mercury she immediately used Mercury Aqua Mirage on Yui, but to no avail. Viluy then revealed her true self and used Mosiac Buster on her, which sent nanobots into Sailor Mercury's body. Soon after, Viluy was killed after Sailor Uranus attacked her with her Space Sword, cutting the Witch in half, and stopped the nanobots from killing Sailor Mercury.
She is revived along with the other Witches 5 by Kaolinite and captures Sailor Mercury. She is permanently destroyed by Sailor Neptune and Sailor Pluto.
Tellu was the fourth member of the Witches 5 to be introduced. This is the original depiction of the character created by Nanko Takeuchi. Tellu is a Level 404 witch and the second strongest of the Witches 5. As Ruru Teruno, she is a gym teacher and caretaker of the botanical garden at Mugen Academy. Her attacks are plant-based.
In the anime, Tellu, shadowed like most of the others, beat Mimette at Twister. In her first somewhat unshadowed episode, Professor Tomoe told Tellu that it was her turn to steal Pure Hearts. Mimete overheard this and, using a voice changer to sound like Professor Tomoe, told her that the project was cancelled (so she could go instead), but Tellu was not fooled by this trick. Tellu spied on Mimete as she attacked a physicist, and when she used the Witches Electric Warp to increase her size and power, Tellu pulled the plug on her trapping Mimete in the screen forever.
Tellu only lasted one episode against the Sailor Senshi. She used several plants called Telluns to steal Pure Heart Crystals from people. Once removed, she captured the crystals in a starshaped object. Sailor Moon, Sailor Chibi Moon, and Sailor Pluto fought her off. As she was attacking Sailor Pluto, Tuxedo Mask arrived, and Sailor Moon transformed into Super Sailor Moon and destroyed all the plants. But Tellu still had one plant left, and injected it with a needle, transforming it into Hyper Tellun, a gigantic plant monster who eats Pure Heart Crystals. However, before she could leave, Tuxedo mask used a rose to break the container holding Crystal Hearts, surrounding her with Crystal Hearts and causing the Hyper Tellun to turn on Tellu (thinking she had a Crystal Heart), wrapping her in its vines. Tellu wrapped her own vines around Hyper Tellun to electrocute her, causing it to selfdestruct, killing Tellu with it.
After her death, all that remained was her assignment book, which gave the Sailor Senshi the locaction of the headquarters of the Death Busters.
