The reincarnated prince on the other hand had an untapped well of power attatched to his spirit, which in time would have supplied him with the neccessary energy to survive a car accident, and to go on to be the help that Sailor Moon would need. With the threat to his life, it fought back against the disease, and struggled hard. His body became a battlefield, and in the end, his life perservered.
But not without cost, as the strain had caused him to wind up with a weaker constitution, unable to do much heavy exercise without getting winded. Just running was trouble, and he'd need a few moments to rest after getting excited.
