diff.text: [Unlike his predecessor Jedite and fellow Shitennou (Zoycite and Malachite), Nephlite did not believe that the indiscriminate attacks against human beings as 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 as a more effective method. A firm believer that human destiny is guided by the movements of the stars in the heavens, Nephrite used astrology to perform inside his operations base (a large mansion located in a wooded area of the vicinity of Tokyo) intonation with the star's and its constellations in order to help him concentrate his energy into locating individual within the region of Tokyo that were approaching major turning points in their lives where their "energy potential" would be at its maximum before attacking them. By seeking out such a person and marking an object which epitomises his or her greatest talent with a special symbol - his own personal crest - he could place a youma inside of that object which would hasten their interest with the object (to the point of obsession) as they devote more and more energy towards using their object until that person reaches their maximum energy potential. Once this point was reached, he would unleash the youma from that object and drain that person of his or her energy leaving that person in a coma-like state. Nephrite would seek out that person under his established disguise: the human identity of that of a millionaire entrepreneur and socialite - Masato Sanjouin. To match his monogrammed belongings, he was given the pseudonym Maxfield Stanton in the dubbed Northern American version of the anime, which author Patrick Drazen describes as "ridiculously soap-opera". 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's (Molly Baker). 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 two more victims through using the power of the stars: a park gardener called Mr. Kunitachi (Baxter) and Usagi (Serena) Tsukino's sewing class teacher Ms Higure (Helen) Akiyama; as well as successfully implant his [[youma]]s into items representative of them. Although, in both cases, the youmas - Petasos and Widow, respectively - were destroyed by Sailor Moon shortly after they emerged to drain their assigned targets of their energy.
