Moon Power, Transform
CharacterThe activation phrase Minako Aino speaks in Codename: Sailor V to become Sailor V, powered by her transformation pen. It later gives way to Venus Power, Make Up once her past comes back to her.
Overview
Within the pages of Codename: Sailor V, this command is how Minako Aino steps into her Sailor V identity, calling on her transformation pen to make the change. It stands as her original activation phrase before the larger Sailor Moon story reshapes her role.
Mechanics
The pen carries the transformation. In the first volume, Minako first uses the words after Boss informs her she must transform and Artemis supplies the exact phrasing. She keeps relying on it to shift into Sailor V through the rest of the series. For assuming ordinary disguises rather than her guardian form, she turns to a different command, Crescent Moon Power, Transform, worked through her Compact.
