I wouldn't say Tuxedo Mask was a badass, so much as he got more underaged schoolgirl ass than he knew what to do with.
Which I guess is kinda badass.
But c'mon, the guy threw flowers as his primary method of attack.
I remember when I first started watching Sailor Moon, it was because it took over Ronin Warriors time slot.
I was pretty pissed off at first, but then the boners came and I forgave them.
