Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight, and now inspiring incredibly talented figure skaters — it's Sailor Moon. The celestial superhero and anime have had quite the impact on pop culture, and now she got quite the honor being the inspiration behind Evgenia Medvedeva's epic skating routine.
This past weekend in Tokyo, the International Skating Union held the World Team Trophy in Figure Skating Competition, an event that brings competitors from all over the world together. A member of Team Russia, Evgenia stunned the crowd with her a certain number that was both powerfully-nostalgic and transformative; she performed to the original Sailor Moon theme song.
Not only did she get major points from audience members simply for her song choice, but Evgenia also went from Usagi's iconic school girl uniform to her battle armor. She transitioned out of the flowy, long skirt along with revealed thigh-high red stockings all while pulling off her choreography. Evgenia looked straight out of the anime by the end of her transformation. The Russian figure skater even pulled off some of Sailor Moon's classic hand gestures and ended the performance with the superheroine's motto in Japenese, "In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!"
