Sailor Mars’ Flames Engulf Many Villains

Enemies Turn To Ash From Her Mars Flame Sniper

Rei Hino has many gifts, and they’re nearly all flame-themed. Her gift for prophecy manifested before her Sailor Guardian awakening and is quite powerful, although there are many other Sailor Moon characters with the gift of foresight. As Sailor Mars, her powers center around flame and warfare, which is fitting given her God of War namesake, Mars.

Sailor Mars’ greatest attack, Mars Flame Sniper, evolves in the fourth season. She repels entire enemy groups in the early uses of Mars Flame Sniper. The sacred artifact, the Mars Arrow, unlocks this great and terrible gift, and she evolves into her Super form along with unlocking the new attack.

This ultimate power, combining the abilities of Sailor Venus, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, and Sailor Jupiter, culminates in the awe-inspiring Sailor Planet Attack. This group attack channels the unique elemental affinities of each guardian, creating a surge of energy that rivals the mightiest forces in the cosmos. United, their energies create a formidable wave that can vanquish even the most powerful adversaries. The harmony between the guardians amplifies their strengths, making the Sailor Planet Attack an unparalleled force of cosmic justice.

Can any Sailor Moon characters rival Goku’s strength? Cosmic warriors like Galaxia and Sailor Saturn could hold their own against the Saiyan legend.

What makes the Sailor Planet Attack so formidable is not just the raw power it generates, but the strategic advantage it provides. Combining each guardian’s unique elemental affinity causes a multifaceted attack that can adapt to and overcome a wide range of enemies. This versatility, combined with the deep bond and mutual trust these four share, ensures that the Sailor Planet Attack remains one of the most effective and resilient combat techniques in the Sailor Moon Universe.

In the Silence of Pluto, Dead Scream Reigns Supreme

No Cosmic Power Echoes Like Sailor Pluto’s Dark Attack

Among the silent shadows of the galaxy, Sailor Pluto wields the fearsome Dead Scream with an enigmatic grace. Harnessing the power of death, darkness, and the underworld, her attack creates a glowing purple orb of energy that strikes with precision and lethality. The Dead Scream’s ability to disrupt and dismantle her foes’ essence makes it one of the most feared and potent attacks in the universe.

The true strength of Dead Scream lies in its subtlety. Unlike other more overtly destructive attacks, Dead Scream operates with a quiet, almost eerie efficiency, making it difficult for enemies to anticipate or defend against. The ethereal quality of Dead Scream, coupled with Sailor Pluto’s enigmatic presence, underscores the attack’s role as a symbol of the inexorable passage of time and the inescapable nature of destiny.

Crisis, Make Up Unlocks the Radiant Power of Sailor Moon

No Transformation Shines Brighter Than Sailor Moon’s Crisis, Make Up Transformation

In moments of dire need, Sailor Moon’s transformation command, Crisis, Make Up, unlocks the transcendental power of Super Sailor Moon. By summoning the Holy Grail, she channels an immense surge of celestial energy, elevating her abilities to god-like levels. This transformation not only enhances her physical and magical prowess but also solidifies her role as the beacon of hope and light. The unparalleled power bestowed upon her through the transformation ensures that she can stand against the darkest of threats, illuminating the path to victory with divine radiance.

No Force in the Universe Matches Sailor Uranus’s World Shaking

Sailor Uranus, the embodiment of unyielding determination and raw strength, commands the might of the heavens with her attack, World Shaking. By harnessing the ferocious power of solar winds, she generates an energy sphere that can shatter the very ground beneath her foes. The sheer force and precision of World Shaking create shockwaves capable of toppling even the most formidable adversaries. As a celestial warrior, Sailor Uranus’ attack embodies the relentless and unstoppable nature of the universe itself.

Silence Wall Stands as the Impenetrable Shield of Sailor Saturn

No Barrier Protects More Strongly Than Sailor Saturn’s Silence Wall

In the serene expanse of the cosmos, Sailor Saturn’s Silence Wall Stands as an impenetrable barrier of protection. This formidable shield, conjured with her immense power, can block and absorb the most devastating attacks. Sailor Saturn’s profound connection to the forces of destruction and rebirth grants her the ability to defend against any threat, safeguarding her allies from harm. The Silence Wall’s strength lies not only in its defensive capabilities but also in its embodiment of Saturn’s unyielding resolve to preserve life amidst the chaos.

The Silence Wall is a manifestation of Sailor Saturn’s dual nature as both a destroyer and a protector.

The Silence Wall’s presence in battle provides a sense of security and reassurance to her allies, allowing them to fight with confidence, knowing that they are protected by one of the strongest defenses in the universe.

Tuxedo Mask Has Surprising & Subtle Gifts

Miraculously, Love Does Heal All

Tuxedo Mask is a unique character in Sailor Moon, and he only has a couple of named abilities. In the manga and Sailor Moon Crystal, he has the attack Tuxedo Mask La Smoking Bomber. He also has a dual attack with his daughter, Sailor Chibi Moon, Pink Sugar Tuxedo Attack. Tuxedo Mask’s strongest abilities aren’t attack abilities, though.

10 Best Tuxedo Mask Chapters in the Sailor Moon Manga, Ranked

Tuxedo Mask might not be as strong as Sailor Moon and the Sailor Guardians, but he’s just as essential to the team as they are.

While not an official Sailor Guardian, he is the Prince and Guardian of Earth. He has such a strong connection to it that destroying Earth would mean his destruction, and vice versa. He is also one of the best healers in all of anime, using this power to perform needed miracles for healing miracles for Sailor Moon’s sake. His roses are meant only to be his calling card, but he throws so much of his love for Sailor Moon into them that one single rose nullifies Queen Beryl’s deadly attack in the Season One finale. He’s like an immeasurable power battery for Sailor Moon and helps tether her to life and the Earth.

Sailor Uranus Wields a Sacred Sword Against Evil

Nothing Evens the Battlefield Like the Space Sword Blaster

Not many Sailor Guardians wield sacred swords. Sailor Venus, the leader of the Inner Guardians, wields the Sword of the Silver Crystal, and Sailor Uranus wields a powerful Talisman called the Space Sword. Sailor Uranus’ Space Sword is inspired by a true life legend, Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, which represents true valor and virtuousness.

Sailor Uranus’ Space Sword Blaster attack is also inspired by devastating solar wind events. It has the power to wipe out everything in its path; and when the Space Sword is combined with the two other Talismans, it’s said to summon the apocalypse. Such artifacts and attacks would be absolutely devastating in the hands of a warrior less virtuous than any of the Outer Guardians.

Sailor Pluto Is a Sleeping Giant

No One Wants to Be on the Other End of Her Dark Dome Close

Sailor Pluto’s greatest attack shines in the manga and Sailor Moon Crystal. She may be quiet and reserved, but she packs a punch when needed. The mantle of responsibility is heavy on Sailor Pluto’s shoulders because she guards the Door of Space and Time, and because her strongest gift is one of the greatest Sailor Guardian powers. Sailor Pluto performs Dark Dome Close in the Sailor Moon Crystal finale as a last resort.

Most Sailor Guardians have element-based powers and powers inspired by gods, like Sailor Jupiter’s Jupiter Oak Evolution, which is an ode to the god Zeus/Jupiter. Sailor Pluto is on another level because she has a direct connection to the God of Time, Chronos, and can call upon his powers. Dark Dome Close summons the powers of Chronos to suck one of the greatest Sailor Moon villains, Pharaoh 90, into a Space-Time vortex.

Sailor Saturn Has Grave Powers of Destruction

Silence Glaive Surprise Could Threaten the Entire Universe

The other Sailor Guardians and their allies look upon Sailor Saturn with quaking fear because of her powers. She may be the most childlike Sailor Guardian (aside from the toddler Sailor Chibi Moon), but her powers pack a wallop. Sailor Saturn is so powerful that she’s not summoned often, not during the Silver Millennium or in the modern day.

Corrupting Sailor Saturn would be truly cataclysmic for the galaxy, which is why Pharaoh 90 wants to possess her so badly. Sailor Saturn can use Silence Glaive Surprise, an energy-based attack, to annihilate several foes at once. Just the mere threat of the attack can be enough to end an epic fight. Although Sailor Saturn never uses her power for evil, rumor has it her attack is strong enough to wreck entire planets at a time.

Queen Serenity Wields Immense Power Judiciously

The Legendary Silver Crystal Can Stop Any Threat

The most important part about the strongest Sailor Guardian’s gifts is how and when they use them. Not many think immediately of Queen Serenity as one of the Sailor Moon powerhouses because she’s dead by the time the series begins. However, it’s worth looking at how she ruled and protected her kingdom and the galaxy during the Silver Millennium.

Queen Serenity was a calm, wise, and judicious leader. She wielded one of the greatest powers in the universe, the Legendary Silver Crystal, and she’s the spark that created one of the other great powerhouses in the universe — Sailor Moon. Queen Serenity’s strength and aptitude with the Silver Crystal is so great that, with her dying breath, she saves Princess Serenity, all the Sailor Guardians, and their allies, delivering them to an entirely different planet.

Galaxia Can Snatch Life Power Away with Her Bare Hands

Galaxia Steals and Fights With Dark Lightning

Galaxia is so powerful that she’s positively bored when Sailor Saturn confronts her. She was once the legendary Sailor Galaxia, the most powerful Sailor Guardian in the Milky Way Galaxy. She’s so powerful that she tried to defeat the universe’s greatest evil, Chaos, only to be consumed by it.

Galaxia’s mission is to steal people’s Star Seeds, a technique she performs all too easily. Star Seeds are in all life forms, from humans to planets. All Galaxia needs to do is wield her Crystal of Destruction. Sailor Galaxia also wields Dark Lightning, a gift amplified by Chaos.

3

Sailor Chaos Is the Universe’s Greatest Enemy

Sailor Chaos Is Almost Unbeatable With the Chaos Crystal

Chaos, or Sailor Chaos, is the strongest antagonist Sailor Moon ever faces. Chaos represents everything that is cruel and random in the universe; it’s a consuming force made from the Galaxy Cauldron. Essentially, they are a primordial god. They don’t have powers and named attacks, like the Sailor Guardians or other previous antagonists.

Sailor Chaos’ go-to technique is possession and wielding the Chaos Crystal. Where Queen Serenity and Neo-Queen Serenity use the Legendary Silver Crystal to bring order and protection to their realms, Chaos uses its crystal to bring utter destruction. Through possession, they narrow down their focus and take down other powerful, virtuous entities, like Sailor Galaxia, and use them as their personal generals.

Sailor Moon’s Healing Powers Exorcise Evil & Brings People Back to Life

The Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss is Part of What Makes Usagi So OP

Sailor Moon has many different evolutions, from her first transformation to her final form in the series, Eternal Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon uses some pretty intense moonlight-based attacks as she grows into her full warrior queen power, like Moon Princess Halation. Her strongest abilities are her healing and resurrection powers, though.

Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss is Sailor Moon’s final acquired skill in the series. It’s her strongest healing technique, further amplified by two sacred objects: the Eternal Tiare and the Holy Moon Chalice. Sailor Moon’s raw healing powers can exorcise the greatest kinds of evil and bring the dead back to life, and it’s strongly implied that her powers will only continue to grow as Neo-Queen Serenity.

Sailor Cosmos Can Regenerate the Galaxy

Sailor Cosmos’ Lambda Power Holds the Key to Galactic Renewal

Sailor Cosmos is the future and final manifestation of Sailor Moon’s powers. They are technically two different characters — partly because of original anime creators that made her more rudimentary and overpowered form, Sailor Chibi Chibi Moon, a personified Star Seed of Sailor Galaxia. Sailor Cosmos is the antithesis of Chaos; she is life, itself.

Sailor Moon: Everything You Need To Know About Reincarnation, Explained

Sailor Moon’s themes of reincarnation are incredibly intricate, from the Moon Kingdom’s past to the fated bond between Usagi and Mamoru.

Sailor Cosmos’ Lambda Power isn’t an incantation-style attack, but more of an intrinsic technique and power. She uses her Lambda Power and the Cosmic Crystal to purify the Galaxy Cauldron, which is the crucible of life energy. When Sailor Moon combines with her Sailor Cosmos self, she’s even stronger than Chaos. She can remake the entire universe with her healing and regenerative powers.
