Fire Soul was the first attack used by Sailor Mars in the Sailor Moon anime. It was also used in the Sailor Moon musicals.
Anime[edit]
Fire Soul first appeared in episode 10 of the anime. After finally awakening her Senshi powers and transforming for the first time, Sailor Mars used Fire Soul to defeat Kigaan, a Youma commanded by Jadeite to abduct young girls taking the six-o'clock bus from Hikawa Shrine.
Sailor Mars would begin her Fire Soul attack by clasping her hands together with her two index fingers pointing outwards (the first "kuji" gesture). A fireball would form at the tips of her index fingers which she then shot forward, killing or wounding her enemy by engulfing him or her in flames.
Sometimes Sailor Mars would combine Fire Soul with another Senshi's attack, such as in episodes 11 and 24, where it was combined with Sailor Moon's Moon Tiara Action; in episode 21, where it was combined with both Sailor Moon's Moon Tiara Action and Sailor Mercury's Sabão Spray; in episode 36, where it was combined with Sailor Jupiter's Supreme Thunder; and in episode 48, where it was combined with Sailor Venus's Crescent Beam.
Video Games[edit]
Fire Soul appeared in many Sailor Moon video games, including Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (Super Famicom), Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon (arcade), and Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Another Story (Super Famicom).
Trivia[edit]
- The first English dub was inconsistent with the name they used for Fire Soul. Most of the time it was called "Mars Fire Ignite," but frequently used a particular name only once or twice, including: Mars Fireballs Charge (episode 27), Mars Firestorm Flash (episode 63), Mars Fireball Flash (episode 116, R movie), Fire Ignite (episode 117), Mars Fireballs Flash (episode 132), Mega Mars Fire (episode 142), Mega Mars Fire Flash (episode 143), and Mars Fire Flash (SuperS movie).
