Submarine Violon Tide
CharacterSubmarine Violon Tide is an ocean technique that Eternal Sailor Neptune plays on her Marine Cathedrale violin, seen in the manga and Sailor Moon Cosmos. Drawing her bow, she raises a surging tide meant to sweep her enemies away.
Overview
Submarine Violon Tide is a deep-sea power that Eternal Sailor Neptune performs using her Marine Cathedrale, an instrument shaped like a violin. It shows up in the manga, in Sailor Moon Cosmos, in select video games, and on the musical stage. The name mixes languages: violon is the French word for violin, and the manga kanji spell out deep sea, violin, and tide.
Mechanics
By playing the violin, Neptune conjures a rushing tide and directs it at her opponent. When Sailor Galaxia takes control of her, the attack is amplified by the destructive energy of the Galactica Bracelets and becomes a stronger variant called Galactica Violon Tide.
Notable Users
Eternal Sailor Neptune is the technique's user. She first tries it against Sailor Iron Mouse, hoping to wash the enemy away, but the target's Galactica Bracelets cancel it out. The move otherwise turns up while she is under Galaxia's command, appearing that way in the musical Le Mouvement Final and in a Super NES title.
