Why can't Tuxedo Mask become prince Darien?

[Patrick Barron]

Through all of the seasons of Sailor Moon; Darien only has only turned into Prince Darien (the Knight) a hand-full of time. I know he wears the Tux and Mask to symbolize the final night between him and Usagi (before the fall of the Moon Kingdom). All of the other Senshi have had upgrades except Tuxedo Mask (the Senshi of Earth).

He does seem to turn into Prince Endymion/Darien or King Endymion during major end-of-season battles. But I wish he'd gotten a "super" powerup like the girls. I guess the show is supposed to be about the girls so he's more of a supporting character, but still! The guy sticks around for four and a half seasons, getting killed and brainwashed and watching everyone else get powerups, and he's still stuck attacking with a flower. The role of a male in the SailorMoon world is surely a thankless one. ^^;
But in the manga he did get a spiffy attack <3

He turns into Endymion in the R movie, when they're all hurling towards earth. Endymion actually saved Moon's life in that scene. But yea, he's a weakling

[Patrick Barron]

Here is my most recent theory: With form as Prince Darian he must use more power and too prolonged use and too frequent use can drain him of his life force energy. (Like when Sailor Moon does powerups by relaeasing the full extent of her power to reack the next fighting stage) it can be draining on some one.

or

Maybe that tranformation comes during extreme cirrumstances. Where his powers react to sudden changes in his emtions. Or maybe due to a defensive impulse like in Star. Darian was able to become the Prince to protect Rini.

I don't know

Well most of the time he is saving Sailor Moon & the Scouts as Tuxedo Mask, Maybe if he got a power up, he would be more powerful then them and the main point of the show was for girls.


Or they just couldnt think of an "upgrade"

I Mean What else could it be?? "Super Tuxedo Mask!" Um...... No!
