vlink="#ffffff">Hotaru's Notes:
Something you may note is that I have added some of the manga attacks
(well, actually, all of them). A few, like the Inner Senshi attacks of SMR
and SMS have not been given descriptions, with the exception of what
henshin they originated from. This is because in Takeuchi-sama's manga, she
changed the appearance of the attacks each time. So what may have been
Venus Rolling Heart Vibration one time could look a lot like Venus LoveMe
Chain the next. If you are really worried about what the attacks look like,
visit www.the-place.com and purchase the Japanese Sailormoon manga or check
around for it.
If you see any discrepancies, please tell me! I will try to update these
every so often. Sailor Saturn was incredibly discriminated against in the
anime. She is disputedly the most powerful of the senshi (Someone who can
destroy the world in three words? I call that power, thank you) but did not
have *ONE* henshin sequence or *ONE* full attack. So, I can tell you what
Death Reborn Revolution looks like in the manga, which is very impressive,
but if I were to say what it was in the anime, all I could do is write
Death Reborn Revolution. That's it. This is why I use the anime and the
manga. In the manga, Saturn henshins along with everybody else. Not so with
the anime. Pluto, the second most powerful senshi, has *THREE* henshins in
all 200 episodes. And her attacks of Chronos Typhoon and Garnet Ball are
never used. These are just a few examples on the rambling list. I'll stop
ranting, and on with the show!!!
Starting Powers (Sailor Moon)
MOON
Moon Tiara Action (Prism)
Uses the Moon Tiara, given to Sailor Moon by
Luna through the Mystical Silver Crystal. Tiara is removed and balanced on
Sailor Moon's fingers. It forms something like a frisbee, is spun around to
power it up. After release, the tiara either smashes into a youma, making
them "moon dust" or can encircle the target and trap them.
Moon Healing Escalation (Prism)
Uses Moon Stick to heal possessed
nijizuishou ('Rainbow Crystal') carriers. The Moon Stick was given to
Sailor Moon by Luna. Sailor Moon traces a full circle with the Moon Stick
and the possessed person is showered in radiant 'showers.' They are
restored to their former self and it is the only way to heal them. The
effort drains Sailor Moon's energy, so the effect is limited to how long
she can hold out. The possessed yell "Refreshed!" when healed.
(Hotaru's Note: This attack is known as Twilight Flash in the manga, but
since the seiyuu couldn't pronounce twilight, the name was changed.)
Upgraded Moon Healing Escalation (Prism)
Uses Moon Stick and also
requires ginzuishou (Mystical Silver Crystal). She gained the ginzuishou
from all the nijizuishou (Rainbow Crystals), and the Moon Stick from Luna.
This healing effect is used in much the same way Moon Healing Escalation
is, except that it is much more effect because it focuses the healing
energy. It is also more draining on Sailor Moon as evident when she
collapsed after healing Tuxedo Kamen.
Cosmic Moon Power (Prism)
Requires Moon Stick with ginzuishou. This
attack was the one Sailor Moon used during Day of Destiny (in the NA
version). In the Japanese version, Serenity says Moon Prism Power. It is
the attack setting of the Moon Stick. Sailor Moon holds up the Moon Stick,
and beams of energy shoot out of the crystal. A shield of energy forms
around her, since it repels evil energy. The shield will force anything
evil to evaporate, as what happened with Queen Beryl. The attack is
extremely effective, but the higher the accuracy and intensity, the higher
the mortality rate.
MERCURY
Shabon Spray (Mercury Power)
Mercury forms a glowing ball in her hands
and then spins around. She releases the hovering ball, and a spray of
bubble-like objects rush out at the youma or target. The Shabon Spray has
two functions. It either fogs up an area, or reduces the temperature,
making the youma lose its concentration.
MARS
Ofudas
Sailor Mars was taught to use these anti-evil signs by her
grandfather. It is part of her miko(priestess) training and has nothing to
do with being a Sailor. The anti-evil scrolls have the kanji 'Akuryou
taisan!' written on them (Evil Spirit, Begone or take a hike). When these
scrolls touch someone who is possessed, or just plain evil, they are frozen
in place. The full chant is 'Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai,
zen. Akuryou taisan!'
Fire Soul (Mars Power)
Mars holds her hands together, much like a child
forming an imaginary gun, pointing at the sky. A ball of fire appears on
her fingertips and she points her fingers at her target. The fireball is
unleashed and consumes the target, baking them nicely.
JUPITER
Supreme Thunder (Jupiter Power)
Requires lightning rod in tiara. Jupiter
crosses her arms across her face and usually summons for help from Jupiter,
or similar. A lightning rod rises from her tiara and white-blue bolts of
lightning flash from the clouds. The lightning rod absorbs the power.
Jupiter releases it by uncrossing her arms, and all that lightning rushes
at her target.
VENUS
Crescent Beam (Venus Power)
This attack was used by Venus when she was
Sailor V. In the Code Name: Sailor V (the manga about Sailor V), Venus used
this attack along with Sailor V Kick. Yes, the kick that Usagi does in Act
#1, Volume #1 of Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon.Venus forms two golden crescent
beams, both facing outward. She touches the crescent beams with her hand
and then points with her right hand at the target. She joins her right hand
with her left and a golden ray of light appears. The crescent beams fly at
the victim, and smash into it.
Secondary Powers (Sailor Moon R-1)
MOON
Moon Tiara Action (Prism)
Sailor Moon used this attack until one of Ail's
cardians shattered her locket at a hanami (flower viewing). The attack
simply wasn't strong enough to repel the cardians. It is also used in the
SMR, and SS movies, as well as in episode 164 and in SMS.
Moon Princess Halation (Crystal)
requires Cutie Moon Rod which she
received from Queen Serenity. The attack was used against Ail and Ann's
cardians, and the Black Moon family's youma. Sailor Moon holds the Rod in
the air, and beams of light appear at the top. After a few rotations, she
freezes, legs together and points the Cutie Moon Rod at the imposing
problem. Crescent moons and blasts of energy shoot towards her unfortunate
enemy. The cardians or youma shout, "Cleansing!"
Moon Healing Escalation (Crystal)
requires ginzuishou. Luna suggested
that Sailor Moon try to heal Cooan with her crystal. Sailor Moon holds up
her ginzuishou locket and beams of red light shoot out from the crystal.
They circle around counterclockwise and form a solid aura of light. The
light heals anyone who is exposed to it of negative thoughts, emotions,
memories, etc. It was used to heal the Black Moon Sisters. As the light
clears, so does the evil.
MERCURY
Shabon Spray Freezing (Mercury Power)
Sailor Mercury created this attack
after seeing Ail and Ann's cardians trying to drain some innocent toddlers.
Tsukikage no Knight popped in and gave a nice little speech. This is a
variation of Shabon Spray, but instead of fogging up an area, the bubbles
hit the target and lock them in a solid wall of ice.
MARS
Fire Soul Bird (Mars Power)
Requires ofuda. Sailor Mars created this
attack after a cardian destroyed all the music she worked so hard on for
her school festival. She was almost totally drained of energy, and after
more inspirational words from Tsukikage no Knight, she decided she had
enough. Sailor Mars throws out an ofuda (anti-evil scroll) and forms one of
her fireballs for Fire Soul. However, when the fireball hits the scroll, it
forms a phoenix and good-bye cardian.
JUPITER
Supreme Thunder Dragon (Jupiter Power)
Requires lightning rod. Makoto and
Ail were enjoying a nice meal of Mako's. Well, Ann had a fit and sent a
cardian to destroy it. Makoto didn't take this nicely and decided to do
something about it.
She goes into the sequence for Supreme Thunder, but as soon as she releases
the lightning, it takes the form of a dragon. The dragon roars and lunges
at the target, maw gaping and consumes it in electricity. Hope you're not
around a water cardian when Jupiter unleashes this one.
VENUS
Crescent Beam Shower (Venus Power)
Minako was helping out with some
kindergarten kids on the bus when a cardian decided to attack her. Usagi
was dressed as a student teacher, and they both henshined and went to do
something about it. When Venus's Crescent Beam didn't work, Tsukikage no
Knight appeared and gave a little speech. Venus, disgusted that anyone
would hurt a child. Venus does her Crescent Beam sequence, except that when
she releases the Crescent Beam, it splits into a whole bunch of beams. The
light expands outward, then converges on her target. This is supposedly
very similar to what Death Reborn Revolution (see SMS - Outer Senshi
attacks) does.
Star Powers (Sailor Moon R-2)
MOON
Moon Princess Halation (Crystal)
Requires Cutie Moon Rod. For a full
summary, please see above (SMR-1).
MERCURY
Shine Aqua Illusion (Mercury Star)
Power gained from the Star Pen that
Mercury got from Mamoru, care of Luna and Artemis. She first used this
attack when she was considering going to Germany or not. The attack begins
with Sailor Mercury standing in a pool of water. One droplet of water falls
into this puddle. She spins around and takes water with her. The attack
then hovers above her head, and once she releases it, a large wave of water
shoots at the enemy. Sailor Mercury sometimes uses her VR Computer Goggles
with this attack.
MARS
Burning Mandala (Mars Star)
Power gained from the Star Pen that Mars got
from Luna. Sailor Mars first used this attack after she had a larger
version of Fire Soul failed. She moves her hand in a counterclockwise
circle, fire trailing behind her. A circle with six spheres, each with
kanji symbols on them is formed behind her. She holds her hands together
and the spheres come to her, and rings of golden fire shoot out at her
opponent. This is definitely an impressive attack, both visually and from
an attack point of view.
JUPITER
Sparkling Wide Pressure (Jupiter Star)
Power came from her Star henshin
using a pen Luna gave her. She first gained this power along with Sailor
Venus when they were both held hostage in a fake jewelry store run by the
Black Moon sisters. A 'wine' youma began attack them, and Jupiter and Venus
teamed up with their attacks. After this failed, they tried again. Behind
Sailor Jupiter, thunder crackles menacingly. She steps back and a ball of
lightning appears in her hand. She throws the ball in a side-arm style, at
the attacker.
VENUS
Venus LoveMe Chain (Venus Star)
Attack gained from her Star Pen that
Artemis gave to her. She used premiered the attack along with Sailor
Jupiter's at a jewelry store run by the Black Moon sisters. First, she
crosses her arms in front of her body. A chain of linked heart illusions
spirals around her body. Sailor Venus then points to the opponent she
wishes to be attacked and the chain flies towards them. This attack can be
used to ensnare someone or to pick an object.
CHIBI-USA
Luna-P Henge
Requires Luna-P, Chibi-usa-chan's ever faithful cat-ball.
Chibi-usa dribbles Luna-P and says, "Luna-P Henge!!" The ball bounces high
in the air and gives Chibi-usa whatever she wants. She uses it, for
example, to drug everyone at Hikawa Jinja except Usagi, who doesn't drink
the tea. (By the way, Chibi-usa asked Luna-P for milk that would induce
sleeping...! ^^)
*Time Travel*(Unnamed)
Requires Space-Time Key. Chibi-usa has a small
version of Sailor Pluto's Garnet Rod, except with out the Garnet Orb. She
holds it up to the sky and calls the name of Time, which is Chronos. After
her little speech, a gateway to time is supposed to open up for her and she
floats off to wherever she is supposed to go. However, time travel is
strictly enforced by Sailor Pluto, and a lot of the time, it doesn't work.
Manga
CHIBI-USA
Abracadbra Pon
Requires Luna-P. This is Chibi-usa's Luna-P Henge of the
manga. She yells her 'attack' and the Luna-P gives it to her in a puff of
smoke. This was the attack that Chibi-usa used to steal the Space-Time Key
from Sailor Pluto. It was also Pluto who told Small Lady about this attack.
PLUTO
Time Stop
Requires Garnet Orb. This act is extremely taboo. Sailor Pluto
cannot just stop time whenever she feels like it. Neo-Queen Serenity in the
future gave Sailor Pluto only three rules. One of which was to never stop
Time. In the manga, Black Lady had managed to get the ginzuishou of the
future for Nemesis, who also had Sailor Moon's ginzuishou of the present.
No two ginzuishou can touch each other or the world and everything is reach
is destroyed. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts. Nemesis had the two crystals,
and unaware that everything would self-destruct once the two ginzuishou
touch, was about to place them together. Pluto decided that the solar
system was more important than her and she lifted up her Garnet Rod and
shouted, "Time STOP!"
Time did stop, so the attack worked. However, something worse happened.
Sailor Moon managed to take her own ginzuishou back from the frozen Nemesis
and only managed to see that Sailor Pluto fell to the ground, dying. It was
that which brought Black Lady to her senses and therefore back into
Chibi-usa. She got the other ginzuishou, and everyone watched Sailor Pluto
die. Sailor Pluto, however, was resurrected by Neo-Queen Serenity in the
manga around volume #8 or #9.
Dead Scream
Requires Garnet Orb. To see full description, please look
under Pluto in Planet Powers (SMS) - Outers only.
