diff.text: Nephrite was the second of the four [[Shitennou]] (heavenly king) to appear in the manga succeeding his fallen comrade Jadeite. He is the commander of the North American division of the [[Dark Kingdom]].  After Jadeite's death and subsequent preservation/burial in a glass coffin Nephrite appeared in [[Queen Beryl]]'s throne room, asking to be allowed to take over the mission to gather energy and locate the Silver Crystal. Upon her approval Nephrite vows to avenge his death and begins his mission appearing in the third act of the manga. Thinking that the "magnificent treasure of the D Kingdom" was the Silver Crystal, Nephrite plots to steal the jewel from its owner Princess D who was visiting Tokyo. He used his shadow to possess Princess D at a party. Princess D grabbed the jewel and ran off with it as well as draining the energy of her party's guest at the same time. [[Sailor Moon]], [[Sailor Mercury]] and [[Sailor Mars]] confront Princess D, but Nephrite's shadow leaves her and is then destroyed by [[Sailor Moon]]'s Moon Twilight Flash attack. In Nephrite's final attack (act 5 of the manga), he again makes use of his shadow, but this time possessing a mannequin that comes to life as a “ghost bride” kidnapping men and stealing their energy. The “ghost bride” manages to manipulate [[Motoki Furuhata]] through brainwashing, who in turn tried to drain [[Makoto Kino|Makoto (Lita) Kino]] of her energy. When [[Sailor Moon]], [[Sailor Mercury]] and [[Sailor Mars]] arrive to investigate, [[Makoto Kino|Makoto (Lita) Kino]] snaps out of her trance and realises that she has been tricked. She is infuriated by the trickery and transforms for the first time into[[Sailor Jupiter]] after having a transformation pen thrown at her by [[Luna]]. Nephrite reveals his presence to the four girls and is incapacitated by [[Sailor Jupiter]]’s Flower Hurricane attack and finally eliminated with a lightning blast from her tiara. After Nephrite died, he transformed into a ''nangyouku ''or (hard) type of ''hisui ''(jade) that is ''fukai midori'' (dark green) in colour. That type of jade by coincidence is also called Nephrite <ref>utlURL=”http://www.sweetusagi.com/moon/sailorpro/fourgen.htm”</ref>! <ref>utlURL=”http://www.eternal-moon.org/villains/neph.html ”</ref>

diff.text: Unlike his predecessor [[Jedite |Jadeite]] and fellow [[Shitennou]] (Zocyite and Kunzite), Nephrite did not believe that attackingthe indiscriminate attacks against human beings indiscriminately wasas the most efficient way of gathering the vast amount of energy required in order to revive Queen Metallia, but rather hypothesises in targeting specific people wouldas prove to be evena more effective method. A firm believer that human destiny is guided by the movements of the stars in the heavens, Nephrite employedused astrological meansastrology to perform intonation inside his operations base (a large mansion located in a wooded area of the vicinity of [[wikipedia:Tokyo|Tokyo]]) intonation with the stars[[wikipedia:star|star]]'s and its [[wikipedia:constellation|constellations]] in order to help him channel and focusconcentrate his energy into locating individual people who were approaching major turning points in their lives where their "energy potential" would be at its maximum before attacking them.

As Masato Sanjouin it wasn't long before he found his first victim: a young girl named Rui Saionji (Katy Sandler), a gifted tennis player and close friend of Naru Osaka. Posing as a professional tennis coach, Nephrite, offered her some basic advice before implanting a [[youma]] inside her tennis racket via his evil crest. Upon peaking in her energy potential, he released the [[youma]] [[Tensie]] who despite stealing her energy was defeated by Sailor Moon with a lot of help from [[Tuxedo Mask]]. Nephrite managed to locate his next victim, Mr. Kunitachi (Baxter), who was a gardener for a park. Mr. Kunitachi (Baxter) was perhaps the only victim he indiscriminately attacked where he was able to exploit his rage over the destruction over his beloved park by intensifying his strong feelings. Not only did Nephrite steal his energy but also the energy of the park’s animals through his evil crest which was implanted on his hat and the subsequent release of the [[youma]] [[Petasos]]. However, in typical fashion, [[Sailor Moon]] with help of her [[Sailor Mercury]] and Sailor Mars and empowerment from Tuxedo Mask disposes of [[Petasos]] with her [[Moon Tiara]]. Similarly the [[youma]] [[Black Widow]] who was implanted via Nephrite’s evil crest in a piece of material belonging to Usagi’s sewing class teacher Ms Higure (Helen) Akiyama; and Cameran who was implanted via Nephrite’s evil crest inside the [[wikipedia:camera|camera]] of the victim Kijin Shibakawa (Peter Fisher) were also disposed of by [[Sailor Moon]]’s [[Moon Tiara]].

diff.text: Neflite and [[Zoycite]] (''Zoisite'') disliked each other very much, and Zoycite enjoyed every time Neflite's plans were foiled, in the hopes that Neflite would be punished with “Eternal Sleep” and she would takenot have to compete with Nephrite in searching for the [[Imperium Silver overCrysta]]l.
diff.text: While he was pretending to be a millionaire named Maxfield Stanton, Serena's (''Usagi'') friend Molly (''Naru'') fell in love with Neflite, amd his Star Crystal kept reacting to her. In Episode 20, ''A Friend in Wolf's Clothing'', he asked Molly who Sailor Moon's true identity was, saying he wanted to fight alongside the Sailor Scouts against the Negaverse. Hearing this, [[Zoycite]] had three monsters called [[The Plant Sisters|the Plant Sisters]] kidnap Molly, but not before she called Serena, whom Neflite assumed (correctly) was [[Sailor Moon]]. He set a trap for her and watched her transform, now able to attack her whenever he wants. Tuxedo Mask arrives at the scene, but at that moment Neflite senses that Molly is in danger, and goes to the warehouse and saves her from the three monsters, nearly killing one of them with his sword. He receives a cut in the process. They think they got away, but the monsters return and one of them, [[The Plant Sisters|Housenka]], stabs Neflite with thorns that, according to her, "will suck his energy and shrink his body to Negadust." The three Sailor Scouts arrive and kill the monsters. Neflite dies and dissolves into dust, leaving only the bandage Molly put around the cut on his arm.
