Samael Sword
ItemThe Samael Sword is a blade brandished by villains of the Dracul story arc within the Sailor Moon stage musicals, known as Sera Myu. Its wielders draw on it to unleash the deadly technique called Samael Jihad against the Sailor Guardians.
Overview
The Samael Sword is a weapon that turns up in the Sailor Moon stage musicals, carried by several antagonists during the Dracul arc. It belongs specifically to that theatrical continuity rather than to the anime or manga.
Function
The sword's signature use is the technique Samael Jihad, a strike meant to banish its target into the underworld. It can also draw out a victim's Star Seed, which is what happens when its first bearer assaults Sailor Chibi Moon with it.
Notable Users
Two villains carry the blade across the musicals. Undead Berserk uses it first, extracting Sailor Chibi Moon's Star Seed and attempting to banish Sailor Moon with Samael Jihad, only to have Count Dracul intervene and absorb the blow, which sealed the attacker away instead. The final wielder, Baron Gilles de Rais, turns the same technique on the Sailor Guardians and strikes them down, until Sailor Astarte reverses its effect using Solomon Versus.
