Air Throw
CharacterAir Throw is a close-range physical technique that Sailor Mercury carries out in the 3DO fighting adaptation of Sailor Moon S. It belongs solely to that title and turns up nowhere in the manga or the animated versions of the story.
Overview
Among the moves handed to Sailor Mercury in the 3DO release of Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S, Air Throw stands out as a purely physical maneuver. It has no counterpart anywhere else in the wider Sailor Moon canon and stays tied to that one game.
Mechanics
The technique leans on raw hand-to-hand force rather than Mercury's familiar water and ice powers, which is why the game classifies it as a physical option. It functions as a grappling strike built for the fighting-game format instead of for any story sequence.
