This attack was first used in episode 152 of the anime, against ManeMane Musume. To perform this attack, she summoned a fiery bow and arrow, then shot the arrow toward her target.

In the musicals, this attack was performed without any item at all, similar to the anime, except when it first appeared in Sailor Moon SuperS - Yume Senshi - Ai - Eien ni..., where it was performed with the Mars Arrow.
Mars Flame Sniper appeared in several video games, such as Sailor Moon SuperS: Fuwa Fuwa Panic, Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: Fuwa Fuwa Panic 2, and Sailor Moon SuperS: Zenin Sanka!! Shuyaku Soudatsusen.
Trivia[edit]
- Miko are well-known for their archery skills, so this attack could be related to Rei's status as one.
