| The Holy Moon Cálice in the anime |
In the anime, the Holy Moon Cálice was never discussed or given a name. It first appeared in episode 187 after Sailor Chibi Chibi Moon gave Eternal Sailor Moon the power up which allowed her to perform Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss.
At the beginning of Eternal Sailor Moon's Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss attack sequence, this item appeared and attached to the bottom of the Eternal Tiare. The Tiare then extended out from the bottom of the Cálice, and the lengthened Tiare was called the Moon Power Tiare.
Manga[edit]

| The Holy Grail in the manga |
In the manga, the Holy Grail was upgraded to the Holy Moon Cálice during the Dream arc, and it allowed Usagi Tsukino to transform into Eternal Sailor Moon.
Crystal[edit]
The Holy Moon Cálice first appeared in Sailor Moon Eternal as in the Dream arc of the manga. However, unlike in the Stars arc, in which the Cálice was Usagi's only item that she used to transform into Eternal Sailor Moon, in Sailor Moon Cosmos she mostly used the Eternal Moon Article. The only exception was when she transformed to fight Sailor Aluminum Seiren and, for an unknown reason, that time the Eternal Moon Article did not appear.
Trivia[edit]
- The name "Holy Moon Cálice" comes from the toy replica produced by Bandai; in the manga and Sailor Moon Crystal, it was still called "Holy Grail" (聖杯).
- In settei for Sailor Moon Eternal and Sailor Moon Cosmos, the Holy Moon Cálice was labelled as the "New Holy Grail" (新しい聖杯; Atarashii Seihai).
