Moon Stick |
Moon Stick was used by Sailor Moon to perform the Moon Healing Escalation attack. In the anime, the Moon Stick had an alarm within it that went off whenever a Rainbow Crystal carrier came near it. The Moon Stick became more powerful after the Silver Crystal was docked to it.
Anime
In the anime, the item is a pink stick with a gold decoration on the bottom, a jewel and a crescent moon shape near the moon end, and a gold crescent moon on top. The item is given to Usagi Tsukino by Luna in episode 25. In the anime, the small jewel can be used to detect Rainbow Crystal holders as it flashes when it approaches them.
The Moon Stick is a point of conflict in the first season, as the other senshi doubt Usagi's responsibility to use it properly. Usagi does lose the stick several times: In episode 28, it falls out of Usagi's bag as she hurries to catch up with Naru and lands in a river. Luna returns it to her later with an admonishment to be more careful.
In episode 34, the Silver Crystal appears and attaches itself to the Moon Stick. This is the final form of the Moon Stick that Sailor Moon uses to defeat Queen Beryl in episode 46. After this battle, the Moon Stick is lost.
Finally in episode A New Transformation! Usagi Powers Up, Sailor Moon attempts to call on the Moon Stick but fails, and is later given a new weapon, the Cutie Moon Rod, by Queen Serenity.
Manga
Moon Stick in the manga |
In the manga of Sailor Moon, the Moon Stick is similar in appearance to the one in the anime, but the crescent moon is silver instead of gold. As there are no Rainbow Crystals in the manga, the wand has no detection properties.
Unlike in the anime, no one disputes Usagi's ability to handle the Moon Stick. The weapon is never lost.
When the Silver Crystal appears, it is also docked to this Moon Stick. In the final battle with Queen Metalia, the stick becomes a long staff.
PGSM
In PGSM, the item looks similar to that of the manga and anime, except that the crescent moon is made of crystal. It first appears in Act 1, and is Sailor Moon's main weapon throughout the entire series. Sailor Luna also has an identical looking weapon, although its functions are different.
