Mercury Crystal Power, Make Up

Standing as the last of Ami Mizuno's transformation phrases, this command elevates her into her Sailor Guardian identity at its highest tiers. It figures in the manga, the 90s anime, the Crystal films, and the live musicals, tied throughout to the power of the Mercury Crystal.

In the manga and Crystal storyline, Ami runs the Mercury Crystal through this phrase. It first restores her ability to reach her Super form, then later unlocks her Eternal form once she feeds the power of Mariner Castle into Sailor Moon's Holy Moon Chalice. The 90s anime stages it differently: the blue, mercury-marked crystal and a harp appear, Ami raises the empty Crystal Change Rod, and her fingertips deepen to blue. Sweeping the rod overhead, she trails silver water that shapes her boots, gloves, and leotard, a rippling wash of bubbles completes the fuku, and she lands her pose. The Ami's First Love special reworks the scene, encircling her in water that engulfs her before she emerges fully dressed, closing on a distant silhouette speech and a twirling finish.

Ami Mizuno is the only user. In Act 40 of the manga she receives the Mercury Crystal, the Mercury Harp, and the Mercury Aqua Rhapsody attack from her Sailor Power Guardian, Guardian Mercury, while plunging toward Fish Eye's Lemures. She raises her hand in Act 49 to charge Eternal Sailor Moon's Eternal Tiare and rises to her Eternal state, yet does not speak the full Make Up command until Act 50, when Sailor Iron Mouse appears. The line also drives her Super transformation in the game Various Emotion, where the planetary glyph, rather than a harp, hovers behind her.
