Peeled Lychee Grenade
CharacterPeeled Lychee Grenade is a throwing weapon carried by the Droid Avocadora, who turns up in the sixty-sixth installment of the original 1990s Sailor Moon series. She keeps the explosives disguised as jewelry and lobs one at her opponent during a fight.
Overview
Peeled Lychee Grenade is the name given to a small bomb wielded by Avocadora, a Droid who appears in episode 66 of the 90s Sailor Moon anime. Rather than storing the devices in a pouch, she disguises them as accessories and reaches for one when a battle demands it.
Mechanics
Avocadora keeps a matching pair of the explosives, wearing them like ornaments hanging from her ears. Once combat starts, she plucks one loose and flings it at her chosen target, counting on the blast to injure whoever it strikes.
The weapon takes its name from the lychee, a fruit tree native to the Guangdong and Fujian regions of China. The fruit reaches beyond cooking into traditional Chinese remedies, where it is valued for its warming nature, though eating too much has been tied to skin irritation and dizzy spells.
Notable Users
Only Avocadora ever uses the grenade, and she does so a single time. She hurls one toward Sailor Moon, but Tuxedo Mask breaks up the attack by throwing a rose that cleaves the device in two before it can go off. In the DiC English release the move went by the name Rotten Egg Bomb, a rewrite that also swapped out what she wore on her ears.
