Mars Arrow
ItemThe Mars Arrow is Sailor Mars' mightiest weapon in the manga and Crystal, a flaming sacred arrow gifted by Phobos and Deimos that she launches through her Mars Flame Sniper technique.
Overview
Standing as the most powerful armament in Sailor Mars' arsenal, the Mars Arrow drives her Mars Flame Sniper attack throughout the manga and Crystal. She comes into possession of it as she transforms with the Mars Crystal, receiving it from her loyal companions Phobos and Deimos when the two rescue her during the Dream arc.
Function
The weapon takes the shape of an arrow whose fletching burns with fire. A glowing shaft carries a paper tag and an ornament, marks that identify it as more than a fiery projectile, tying it to Rei's heritage as a shrine priestess. No bow accompanies it, so Sailor Mars conjures one wholly from flame whenever she means to take aim at a foe.
What sets the Mars Arrow apart from the ultimate weapons of the other Inner and Outer Guardians is that the arrow is itself the projectile rather than a device that fires one. Conveniently, she can summon it out of thin air at will and never has to go and collect it once she has let it fly.
