Hmm, then I think they wouldn’t retaliate against the future King of the Earth because he helped them see the truth. Context is everything.
Rei is closer to Ami in spirit in the manga, that is the vibe I always got. I think Crystal got that part right and I especially like the scene when Rei shows her powers to Jadeite before becoming a senshi in season 1.
Minako has a cheerful personality and we got to see that in Crystal season 3. She wanted to be an idol in the Sailor V manga, she continues wishing to be a idol. That did not change.
