Rainbow Double Moon Heartache is a joint finisher that Super Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Chibi Moon fire together, merging their Spiral Heart Moon Rod and Pink Moon Rod into a stronger form of the solo Rainbow Moon Heartache.
This technique is the reinforced, two-guardian version of Rainbow Moon Heartache. Mother and future daughter pool the magic of their respective rods, the Spiral Heart Moon Rod and the Pink Moon Rod, to strike as one. It surfaces across several branches of the franchise, including the manga, Sailor Moon Crystal, the stage musicals, and the games, and it later yields to the even greater Moon Gorgeous Meditation.
The pair open the move by crossing their rods. In Crystal they gather a swelling sphere of pink energy that bursts outward as a stream of heart-laden ribbons, while the manga renders the result as a concentrated beam. Aimed at Mistress 9, the assault falls short of its purpose, doing no real harm and instead causing her to swell in size. The effort proves costly, since Sailor Chibi Moon exhausts her power and tumbles out of the air, only to be caught by Tuxedo Mask.
The attack belongs to the duo of Super Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Chibi Moon and cannot be performed alone. Its manga and Crystal debut comes in Act 37 of the Infinity storyline, and the musicals stage it a single time in Mugen Academy - Mistress Labyrinth. In Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Another Story it functions as a Link Tech shared between the two guardians. The manga's kanji for the name reads loosely as Rainbow Pair Moon Heart Incite.
Rainbow Double Moon Heartache is a joint finishing move performed together by Super Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Chibi Moon. It is a reinforced, two guardian version of the solo technique Rainbow Moon Heartache.
Rainbow Double Moon Heartache requires both Super Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Chibi Moon and cannot be performed alone. Mother and future daughter cross their rods to combine their magic into one attack.
Rainbow Double Moon Heartache is powered by the Spiral Heart Moon Rod and the Pink Moon Rod. Super Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Chibi Moon cross the two rods to trigger the attack.
When Super Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Chibi Moon aim Rainbow Double Moon Heartache at Mistress 9, the attack falls short and does no real harm, instead causing her to swell in size. Sailor Chibi Moon exhausts her power in the effort and tumbles from the air before Tuxedo Mask catches her.
Rainbow Double Moon Heartache is later succeeded by the even stronger technique Moon Gorgeous Meditation. It first appears in Act 37 of the Infinity storyline in the manga and Sailor Moon Crystal.
