Galactica Puppet

Character

Galactica Puppet is a binding energy technique wielded by agents of Shadow Galactica. Sailor Tin Nyanko first casts it at the guardian cats Luna and Artemis, only for Eternal Sailor Moon to leap into its path. Various villains take up the move across the manga, the Cosmos film, and the stage shows.

Overview

Galactica Puppet is an energy-based technique associated with the ranks of Shadow Galactica. Its reach spans the manga, the Cosmos film, and the Sailor Moon musicals. Those who cast it draw on Galactica Bracelets to do so.

Mechanics

The strike can restrain whoever it catches. In the manga, Tin Nyanko launches it at Luna and Artemis atop the roof of Juban High School, and Usagi throws herself between them to take the blow. The technique holds Sailor Moon in place for a spell, though she wrenches free once Diana comes under threat.

Notable Users

Sailor Tin Nyanko owns the move in both the manga and the Cosmos film. On stage the cast broadens: the Sailor Stars musical and its reworking gave it to Tin Nyanko, whose attempt on Sailor Mars was intercepted by Sailor Neptune. The Eternal Legend paired Tin Nyanko with Sailor Titanium Kerokko, its revised edition handed the technique to Sailor Chi, Sailor Phi, and Sailor Theta, and it appeared once more in Le Mouvement Final.
