| Dark Mercury |
Dark Mercury, who has also been referred to by the unofficial nicknames of Darkury or Dark Sailor Mercury outside of the series, was the evil form of Sailor Mercury who appeared only in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. She first appeared in Act 21, after Sailor Mercury was kidnapped and brainwashed by Kunzite.
At first, she appeared like a normal, but cooler Ami (dubbed "Akumi" - meaning "evil beauty" in Japanese kanji characters - by the series production staff). But shortly thereafter she transformed into Dark Mercury, much to the horror of the other Sailor Senshi.
She was often disrespectful toward Kunzite and the other Shitennou, and even to Queen Beryl. She could, however, show kindness, such as when she repaired Nephrite's cape. (After this incident, Nephrite acted strangely in front of her, a possible hint that he might have had some feelings for Ami.)
Dark Mercury returned to normal in Act 28, after realizing that she had hurt Sailor Moon. After that, Ami had no memories of what she did as Dark Mercury.
Powers
Transformations
- Dark Power, Make Up - Used her Dark Jewelry Star Bracelet to transform into Dark Mercury.
Attacks
- Dark Sword - Dark Mercury transformed an icicle into a sword and used it to fight.
Costume
- Dark Mercury's fuku was rather different in design compared to other fukus worn in the Sailor Moon saga. Her choker, collar, skirt, glove fittings, and boots were a dark shade of blue, while her front bow was in a leaf-like design and midnight blue in color with a small six-edged gem in the center. Her collar and boots had black-rimmed bands in an unusual pattern. Her back bow was billowy and black. Underneath her collar, she had black lace surrounding her shoulders and front bow. Her choker had a black rimmed design on it and a gem dangling underneath. Her earrings were heart-shaped and black. She also wore her Dark Jewelry Star Bracelet on her left wrist.
Trivia
|
| "Akumi" |
- Dark Mercury was shown holding a harp-like bow in promotional images and even in an initial DVD cover design, but it was never actually used in the series (as she instead used the Dark Sword). The bow design was modified and became a dagger used by Zoisite.
- The nickname "Akumi" (悪美) is a combination of the kanji "aku" (悪; meaning "evil") and "mi" (美; meaning "beauty"). The name is a play on Ami's real name (亜美), being similar in both kanji and pronunciation.
- According to the "Oshiokiyo" omake on the DVD, Dark Mercury was dubbed "Darkury" on the set. The name, which was never used in the series, was quickly adopted by fans and has become a very common nickname for the character.
