- Tiara: Part of any Sailor Senshi's fuku, except Sailor Cosmos, Sailor Galaxia, and Eternal Sailor Moon. When looking at the tiara from a distance it appears to have a rather simple smooth golden design with a circular red gem at it's centre. On closer inspection though one can see that it in fact has subtle details engraved in its surface and the gem itself is encased in a golden frame.
- Neptune Crystal: The Sailor Crystal that Michiru Kaiou used to transform into the Super Sailor Neptune in the manga. It was given to her by Hotaru Tomoe.
- Deep Aqua Mirror: Sailor Neptune's Talisman, which she used to perform the attack "Submarine Reflection". It was used not only as a weapon, but also to reveal the truth and the location of enemies.
The item is already possessed by the owner; rather than being made to summon the Holy Grail they were made to summon Sailor Saturn herself. The mirror has been seen to work for others beside Sailor Neptune as Chibiusa once used it to locate and teleport to a different location. Michiru gave Chibiusa the mirror at some point before the Dream Arc. When the Outer Sailor Guardians returned, Chibiusa teleported the mirror back to Super Sailor Neptune in order to help her fight the Dead Moon Circus. - Marine Cathédrale: The name of Michiru's violin. During one of her concerts, an audience member states, "I hear that her violin is a five hundred million yen Stradivarius named after the temple of the sea."
Michiru, as Sailor Neptune, is also able to use her violin for attacking, as she used it to perform an unnamed sound attack in Act 30. She is also able to perform two attacks with her violin in the manga: Submarine Violin Tide and Galactica Violin Tide. - Galactica Bracelets: Bracelets worn when Sailor Saturn was reconstructed to be a loyal subject to Sailor Galaxia. Can be used to fire blasts of energy at an enemy. Destroying them entirely and allowing the user to take their Sailor Crystal from them. They have purple and green gems on them.
- Can Pilot: Kaioumaru
Intelligence: Gifted (Very intelligent. She attended a school reserved for geniuses simply to spy on her enemies in the Infinity arc of the series and excelled in academics and the arts without much effort.) She's also been shown to have sharp intuition and some form of precognition, which is enhanced by her Deep Aqua Mirror.
Standard Tactics: Infiltrating and transforming | Her attacks are based around the ocean or sea, precognition and powers granted by her mirror. In-Character she is less likely to use her Talisman to its full extent due to it having a very large obvious energy signature and if the three Talismans are gathered they will summon Sailor Saturn, whose destiny is to destroy the world. | Is bloodlusted under Sailor Galaxia | Unknown
Weaknesses: Dislikes physical education. Sailor Crystals contains the power of their planets, and will destroy the bearer's physical body if removed. | Needs to maintain concentration to use her magic | None notable normally, under the control of Sailor Galaxia, she loses her life if her Bracelets are destroyed | Unknown
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Magic: Michiru is a talented sorceress, who can create images and illusions at will and can channel her magic through her violin music, able to paralyze opponents.
- Henshin: Michiru can use the Power of her Sailor Crystal to Transform into Sailor Neptune and then her stronger forms. The Henshin Power can also be used to teleport through dimensions or reverse enemy-magic.
- Neptune Planet Power, Make Up: The first command Michiru Kaiou uses to transform into her standard, regular Sailor form as Sailor Neptune in the manga. Michiru shouts this phrase while raising her hand in the air and she becomes Sailor Neptune in an instant.
- Neptune Crystal Power, Make Up: A transformation phrase Michiru Kaiou uses in the manga. She uses it in order to transform into Super Sailor Neptune, using her Neptune Crystal. After raising her hand in the air and shouting the phrase, she becomes Super Sailor Neptune in an instant. In Act 49 of the Dream arc, Michiru raised her hand and yelled “Neptune Crystal Power!” to give power to Eternal Sailor Moon and then she transformed into a form similar to Eternal Sailor Moon’s called “Eternal Sailor Neptune” by fans along with the other Sailor Senshi. In the Stars Arc, Michiru appears in her Eternal Sailor form but was never seen shouting a transformation phrase. However, it is presumed to be “Neptune Crystal Power, Make Up” just like the Inner Senshi.
At the end of the series, Michiru absorbed the Lambda Power and could exist in "Perfectly Heavenly Form" within the Galaxy Cauldron which normally erases existence.
- Deep Submerge 「深水没」: A sea/ocean-based attack that Sailor Neptune uses where Neptune summons the energy of the watery abyss. This attack is similar to the Moon Spiral Heart Attack. It was first used in Act 29 against a Daimon that was about to harm Sailor Chibi Moon and Mamoru. It appeared as an energy blast that was shot towards her enemies.
- Submarine Reflection 「深海鏡射」: An ocean/sea-based attack used by Sailor Neptune. Utilizing the Deep Aqua Mirror, Sailor Neptune can send a blast of pure seawater or create a beam of blue light. This light reveals her target's weakness, or destroy enemy spells and illusions, as well as destroy opponents who contain magic within them (like those resurrected by a curse). The attack was first used in Act 34 in conjunction with Sailor Pluto's Chronos Typhoon to destroy the revived Witches 5.
A more powerful form of Sailor Senshi that comes from the holy powers of the Holy Grail, the Super Sailor Power-Up increases the Sailor Senshi's Power by 10,000 times.
An even more powerful state of the Super Sailor Senshi derived from her own Sailor Crystal which lets her access higher forms and directly tap into the power of her planet.
- Deep Submerge 「深水没」: A sea/ocean-based attack that Sailor Neptune uses where Neptune summons the energy of the watery abyss. This attack is similar to the Moon Spiral Heart Attack. It was used in Act 45 to counter PallaPalla. It appears as an energy blast that is shooting towards her enemies.
- Submarine Reflection 「深海鏡射」: An ocean/sea-based attack used by Sailor Neptune. Utilizing the Deep Aqua Mirror, Sailor Neptune can send a blast of pure seawater or create a beam of blue light. This light reveals her target's weakness, or destroy enemy spells and illusions, as well as destroy opponents who contain magic within them (like those resurrected by a curse). The attack was used in Act 45 to reveal the New Moon and the darkness that it brings in the sky.
Joint Attacks
- Sailor Planet Power Meditation: A group attack similar to Sailor Planet Attack, but much stronger and more powerful when it was first used by Solar System Sailor Guardians to attack Zirconia. The Sailor Guardians have to shout “Sailor Planet Power...” first, then say the name of their planet, then say “...Meditation!” to execute the attack.
The Highest Conventional State of Sailor Senshi, in this state Sailor Neptune's powers are comparable with the strongest Sailor Crystals in the Universe. This state increases her stats and her attack power by a drastic degree.
- Submarine Violon Tide 「深海提琴潮流」: She uses her violin to create a tide of ocean/deap seas energy that washes her opponent away. This attack was likely comparable to Eternal Sailor Uranus' Space Turbulence. She used her Stradivarius violin, which she named Marine Cathedral, to create a tide to wash away Sailor Iron Mouse but unfortunately, she absorbed the attack with her Galactica Bracelets.
After being killed and revived by Sailor Galaxia in Act 49 of the Stars arc, she possesses Galactica Bracelets similar to the ones Galaxia have. This form gives a further boost that increases power beyond that of the highest conventionsal state.
- Galactica Violon Tide 「ギャラクティカ・提琴潮流」: A water-based attack used by Sailor Neptune in the manga. It is an alternate "evil" version of her attack Submarine Violin Tide. While under the influence of Sailor Galaxia and her Galactica Bracelets, Sailor Neptune used her violin and attacked Eternal Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Chibi.
- Star Seed Rip/Removal: The Galactica Bracelets also allow for the ability to steal the star seeds, taking away the very essence of a being and leaving the body to evaporate into dust.
Joint Attacks
- Galactica Planet Attack: An energy-based attack performed by the Solar System Sailor Guardians, excluding Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon, in the manga only. The Inner Senshi (excluding Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon) and the Outer Senshi performed this attack while they were under the influence of Sailor Galaxia's bracelets. It is an alternate version of Sailor Planet Attack.
Note:
- ↑ It's never been confirmed if the Sailor Senshi maintained their Lambda Powers outside the Galaxy Cauldron. As such it's unlikely these powers can be ascribed to EoS Sailor Neptune, and it should be probably be considered along the lines of one-off power-ups.
