Hyperspatial Sphere Generate is a protective technique that Sailor Mercury performs through her Mercury Visor across the manga and Crystal continuities. Rather than striking a foe, it walls off a chosen space inside its own pocket of subspace, shielding people and property from a battle raging nearby.
This ability belongs to Sailor Mercury and stands apart from her usual offensive repertoire, since its whole purpose is defense. The Mercury Visor is essential to it; without the goggle-like device fixed over her eyes she cannot cast the power at all. Both the manga and the Crystal series present it as a way to safeguard a location while a dangerous fight unfolds around it.
The technique raises a barrier that severs a location from the space surrounding it, tucking that area into a kind of subspace. Mercury relies on time axis calculations supplied by Luna to pull it off, which hints that the sealed zone falls under a chronological lock as much as a spatial one. In the Crystal version the power reaches further, opening a doorway to a separate dimension so that Mercury can shift herself and the four other Guardians into that space and fight on ground where their own base stays safe.
Sailor Mercury is the only one who wields this ability. She first calls on it during Act 12 while the Guardians battle Queen Beryl, wrapping the hidden control room at Game Center Crown, along with Motoki, in a safe seal so the rest of the arcade survives the clash. The Crystal anime repeats this moment and widens it, letting Mercury relocate the whole team to confront Beryl in isolation.
