Saturn Crystal
ItemThe Saturn Crystal is the purple Sailor Crystal belonging to Hotaru Tomoe. It powers her rise into the Super and Eternal forms of Sailor Saturn across the manga and the film Sailor Moon Eternal, tying the guardian of ruin to the strength held inside her.
Overview
Among the personal Sailor Crystals carried by each guardian, this one answers to Hotaru Tomoe. Its coloring is a deep purple, and its presence marks the awakening of Saturn's higher stages. The stone surfaces in the printed story and in the theatrical feature Sailor Moon Eternal, where it stands as the core of her renewed power.
Function
By calling on this crystal, Hotaru shifts into Super Sailor Saturn and, later, into her Eternal state. The change is triggered through the phrase Saturn Crystal Power, Make Up. As with the other guardians' crystals, it acts as the wellspring of her transformed identity rather than a mere accessory.
