Function

To bring the blade into being, Ami summons the power of the planet Mercury and reshapes her tambourine, a step she takes in desperation while trying to hold back the Youma raised by Princess Sailor Moon. The move plays as a final gamble rather than a standard tactic.

Notable Users

Sailor Mercury is the only one to wield the sword. After the Youma were pushed back, she and her fellow guardians closed in around Usagi but could not halt the destruction of the planet and were beaten down. The weapon returns in the Special Act, where Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus each call their arms once more to bring down Queen Mio. It first appears in the Final Act.
