Mechanics

In the manga, Sailor V hurls her compact at an enemy as though it were a boomerang. Small as the disk is, its magic lets it slice foes and inflict far more harm than its size would suggest. Crystal swaps the compact for a dedicated item named the Crescent Boomerang, which she throws instead. The live-action series stages a comparable move using her Crescent Moon Cutter, though that version goes unnamed.

Notable Users

Sailor Venus is the technique's owner. In the Sailor V one-shot she throws it at Pandora, and in a later volume she uses it to destroy Twin Dark, returning to it repeatedly across that series. Within the Sailor Moon manga she debuts it at her introduction, killing Zoisite to rescue Sailor Moon in Act 7, and elsewhere she smacks a vampire with it and even clips Rei in the face while Rei is under the sway of the Ghost Cistern. A game appearance comes in Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S for the 3DO.
