Maker Star Power, Make Up
CharacterMaker Star Power, Make Up is the call Taiki Kou shouts to become Sailor Star Maker. Voiced in the manga, the 1990s anime, and later in Sailor Moon Cosmos, the phrase draws on the Sailor Change Star to trigger the transformation of one of the Sailor Starlights.
Overview
This incantation is the trigger Taiki Kou relies on to shift into the guardian identity of Sailor Star Maker. The activation runs on the Sailor Change Star, and the phrase turns up across the manga, the original anime run, and the film Sailor Moon Cosmos.
Mechanics
The anime staged the change two different ways. In the standard version, the Sailor Change Star materializes and its star lights up, the brooch snaps onto Taiki's chest, and a burst of light reverts the body to female form before a second flash finishes the sailor uniform, capped by a run of poses. A more elaborate sequence, used a single time in episode 195, opens the same way but sends three stars streaking past as Taiki spins slowly back into female form while golden energy sweeps upward to build the outfit. Unlike the transformations of Fighter and Healer, this alternate take ends without a closing pose.
Notable Users
Taiki Kou is the only one to speak the phrase, using it to assume the role of Sailor Star Maker among the Sailor Starlights. The manga debut lands in Act 51, the anime introduction in the episode titled A Star of Dreams and Wishes: Taiki's Transformation, and its Crystal-continuity showing arrives with Sailor Moon Cosmos.
