Ever wonder what would happen if they were "saved" - purified/restored to their original state? How would they live with themselves after the damage that they've caused whiled corrupted by the lure of evil?
In some cases (like SMR's Wicked/Black Lady), this question has already been answered, but I'm referring mostly to the comics, manga, and several fanfics that usually leave the question unanswered.

Just something for everyone to think about.

This is one reason why I've never been much of a fan of "mind-control" episodes on any show, simply because they never really deal with the horrific implications or consequences of such a corruption. Imagine being terrorized by a brainwashed version of your own sister or father.
Frankly, if I was ever violently attacked by my own loved one(s) in such a manner, I'd never be able to look at them the same way again, even if they were ever freed from such a spell. In fact, it's pretty likely our relationship would fall apart altogether.
I've always felt Sailor Moon should have smacked the crap out of Wiseman
and Wicked Lady in an all-out royal beatdown, but I guess that wouldn't have been appropriate on such a lightweight program.
