Deep Submerge

This sea-based technique belongs to Sailor Neptune throughout the franchise, turning up in the manga, the anime, Sailor Moon Crystal, the musicals, and numerous games. It follows her through each upgraded guardian form she takes, and it eventually grows into a stronger technique named Submarine Reflection.

Neptune raises her arms overhead and sweeps them down, launching a globe of blue energy modeled on the planet Neptune. Water serves as part of the assault, capable of melting foes such as certain Daimon and their sculpted sand creations. On one rare occasion the move even healed a Proto-Daimon in a manner resembling Sailor Moon's own purifying maneuvers, making Neptune the only guardian with a stock attack able to cure a monster. Its blast mimics the crushing pressure of the deep sea and, like Dead Scream and World Shaking, takes the form of the user's planet. She can also fuse it with World Shaking and Dead Scream to unleash a far stronger combined strike.

Sailor Neptune is the exclusive user. In the manga the move debuts in Act 29, guarding Sailor Chibi Moon and Mamoru from a Daimon. The anime introduces it around episode 90, though it goes unnamed until roughly episode 92, when it strikes the Daimon Mikuji. Crystal features it only twice, once countering Mimete and once shattering a boulder in Sailor Moon Eternal. The musicals present it during a Sailor Moon S stage production, and it recurs in several games including Another Story. English dubs have altered its title, calling it Neptune Deep Submerge in the Cloverway version while the Viz release keeps the original name.
