Flower Hurricane

The technique treats flowers as a weapon and belongs to Sailor Jupiter. It reaches across nearly every branch of the franchise apart from the original 1990s anime, turning up in the manga, in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal, in the live-action series, and in several games. Within the manga continuity it eventually gives way to the stronger Jupiter Coconut Cyclone. Its Japanese name is Furawaa Harikeen.

The staging shifts by medium. Jupiter's manga debut has petals spiral around her before bursting toward her target. In Crystal she looses a flurry of cutting petals sharp enough to pin a foe and slash open a uniform sleeve. The live-action rendition has her cross her wrists overhead, trace circles that leave pink petals trailing behind her hands, then spin and thrust her left palm forward to release the flowers.

Sailor Jupiter is the lone user. In the manga she first calls on it to blind Nephrite in Act 5 and turns to it once more during Act 17 against Petz. The Crystal adaptation mirrors the Act 5 moment, immobilizing Nephrite and his mannequin youma. On the live-action stage she opens with it against Jadeite in Act 8, then uses it against Nephrite the following act and against a Youma in Act 18.

Three games feature the move. The Super Famicom title assigns it as a second special triggered by pressing attack and jump together, swirling petals up around her at the cost of some health on contact. The Mega Drive game makes it one of her two specials, spinning up a pink whirlwind that rises off screen and can strike several foes while draining a little energy regardless of contact. The 3DO arcade release requires four crystals to unleash its full-screen animation. Though the 90s anime never used the attack, it did flash briefly in the opening sequence of Sailor Moon S.
