Overview

Rather than powering a combat form, this phrase lets Usagi Tsukino hide her true self behind assorted guises using the Disguise Pen. It appears in the printed volumes, the original animated series, and Crystal. The live-action version drops the spoken command entirely, folding the same capability into the Teletia S device that all five guardians carry.

Mechanics

The Disguise Pen supplies the change of appearance whenever Usagi voices the words. In the manga and Crystal she reaches for it repeatedly and adopts a wide array of looks, first putting it to work in the second act when she poses as a doctor to slip inside the Crystal Seminar. Minako has her own parallel command, Crescent Moon Power, Transform, which she pairs with her Compact for comparable disguises during Codename: Sailor V.
