Luna-P

The gadget at Chibiusa Tsukino's side came to her from Sailor Pluto and, according to the Nakayoshi Album released for Sailor Moon R, was put together by a Sailor Mercury from the future. Round and cat-featured, it strongly recalls Luna herself. Signs of genuine awareness run through it: the ball tags along behind Chibiusa, guards her, and at times cracks the Spectre Sisters across the face. Its first turn in the original anime came in episode 60, when it clunked Mamoru on the head mid-kiss with Usagi.

Chibiusa runs the device with spoken orders. Whenever sorrow strikes, she uses Abracadabra Pon in the manga, a phrase Sailor Pluto passed on to her. A touch to its nose opens a line to Puu, whose features surface as a pixelated image on the ball's eye. Across the manga and anime alike, she reshapes it into an umbrella and hypnotizes her family into accepting her as a visiting cousin. The animated version piles on further uses: Luna P Change lets her mold the device into any object she pleases, in civilian dress or Guardian form alike, and on one occasion Luna P Magic produced a parting gift for Ami Mizuno ahead of her studies in Germany. Two attack commands round out its repertoire, with Luna P Attack turning up in a couple of video games while Luna P Shouka belongs to the anime. Later, in Act 28 of both the manga and Crystal, the ball becomes the Pink Moon Rod once Sailor Chibi Moon yearns for the strength to protect her friends.

Chibiusa is the ball's steady owner, yet her corrupted alter ego treats it in opposite ways depending on the continuity. Playing Black Lady in the anime, she prizes the device as her one true companion and hurls it at the Sailor Guardians; the manga and Crystal instead have her bat it aside, dismissing it as a silly, childish toy. During her transformation into Black Lady in the 90s anime, the crescent on its forehead inverts into the Black Moon Clan emblem, only to flip back the moment she reverts to normal. On stage a helium foil balloon played the part under the name Luna-P Ball, and the game Sailor Moon: Another Story repurposed it as a save point tucked into random spots.
