Sailor Gekisha is a camera-themed Phage from the Sailor Stars stretch of the anime, born when Sailor Iron Mouse tore the Star Seed out of photographer Saki Itabashi. A turtle-shelled servant of Shadow Galactica, this monster turns a wrist-mounted lens into a weapon before Eternal Sailor Moon restores its human host.
The Phage cuts a bizarre reptilian figure. Its skin runs green, a crimson turtle shell rides across its back, and a helmet shaped after a turtle's head crowns its face. A pale sailor collar frames the neck. Fixed to the right arm is an oversized camera lens, the very tool it uses to strike at its targets.
Saki Itabashi, a working photographer, crossed paths with Sailor Iron Mouse after a shoot with the Three Lights. The Animamate cornered her and drew out her Star Seed, which came up worthless and turned black. In an unusual break from the norm, that seed was pulled from her chest rather than her forehead. Minako Aino witnessed the assault and became Sailor Venus, with Eternal Sailor Moon arriving soon after, but Iron Mouse slipped away through her phone booth.
Saki's body then twisted into Sailor Gekisha. The creature fired on Eternal Sailor Moon, missed, then dropped Sailor Venus with a second blast that knocked her out. When the Sailor Starlights turned up, Gekisha aimed at them too; they dodged, and Sailor Star Healer wounded the Phage with Star Sensitive Inferno. Weakened, it fell to Eternal Sailor Moon's Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss and reverted to Saki.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
Gekisha fights entirely through the lens locked to its wrist. Its lone technique, Shutter Chance, releases a concentrated ray of light at whatever it faces, though a nimble opponent can slip aside from the beam. It shows no other tricks, leaning wholly on the camera motif that shapes its design. Notably, it stands as the second foe built around photography, following Kyameran.
