There's a serious Burns-Smithers vibe between those two. The devotion and concern, in a race founded on cruelty, torment, and backstabbing? The way Ohta keeps running to Cobalt like a little puppy dog? Come on! If this is a deconstruction of Sailor Moon more than any of the other Mahou Shojo shows, why wouldn't there be analogues to Zoicite and Kunzite? Plus, there's a villain named Cobalt in the anime series Iczer One, and she's the first villain the heroine kills, a high-ranking officer of the enemy whose death moves her lover Sepia to take up the battle in her place out of grief. However, in this case, Ohta makes the sacrifice so that his superior officer and secret object of desire may live.
