Dark Sword
ItemThe Dark Sword is a blade formed from an icicle and wielded by Dark Mercury in the live-action Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. It proved a strong offensive weapon during her time under Kunzite's control.
Overview
The Dark Sword belongs to Dark Mercury in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, taking shape out of an icicle. It registered as a powerful and aggressive weapon, and on its debut it loosed an energy-based strike, an ability that never resurfaced in later scenes.
Function
Beyond its one-time energy blast, the sword functioned as a potent melee weapon. It cut down the Moonlight Stick and was turned on Usagi, striking her hard enough to leave her unconscious. That very blow proved decisive, as the harm it caused broke the curse Kunzite held over Dark Mercury.
Notable Users
Dark Mercury alone carries the blade. Once the curse lifted and she caught sight of the sword in her own grip, she flung it away, and it went unseen from then on. It counts as Sailor Mercury's third sword after the Mercury Sword and the Water Sword, all three unique to the live-action series, though only this one is hers as Dark Mercury.
