Sailor Moon Kick
CharacterSailor Moon Kick is a physical attack modeled on Sailor V's own signature kick. Sailor Moon drives a flying kick into her enemies, and the technique carries across the manga, the anime, and the stage musicals, later branching into paired versions with her allies.
Overview
Sailor Moon Kick is a straightforward physical strike, a leaping kick that Sailor Moon adapts from the Sailor V Kick used by Sailor V. It shows up in the manga, the anime, and the Sera Myu musicals, and it forms the basis for two team variations, the Double Sailor Kick alongside Sailor V and the Double Sailor Moon Kick alongside Sailor Chibi Moon.
Mechanics
The move is exactly what its name suggests, a forceful kick aimed at an opponent, borrowed in style from Sailor V's earlier version. When paired with a partner it upgrades into a synchronized double kick that combines two guardians' momentum into a single blow.
Notable Users
Sailor Moon is the central user. In the manga she first lands it in the second act against the youma Garoben at the Crystal Seminar, with an assist from Tuxedo Mask. The anime introduces it when she boots away Kijin Shinokawa's camera while he is under the youma Kyameran's sway, and she later teams with Sailor Chibi Moon for the doubled form. On stage, she puts it to use in the Nogizaka46 musical against Zoisite's youma.
