Mercury Aqua Rhapsody was an attack used by Sailor Mercury in most versions of the Sailor Moon series.

Anime

This was Sailor Mercury's most powerful attack in the main anime television series; Mercury Aqua Mirage was stronger, but was only seen in the special Ami's First Love. It was first used in episode 151, in order to break free from the computer in which she and the Sailor Senshi had been trapped by VesVes. To perform this attack, she materialized a watery harp and "played" it, causing blasts of water to fly toward the enemy.

Manga

This attack first appeared in Act 40 of the manga, where Sailor Mercury used it to break free from Fisheye's illusion. The attack was performed with the Mercury Harp.

Crystal

This attack first appeared in Sailor Moon Eternal, where Sailor Mercury used it to break free from Fisheye's illusion. To perform it, she played the Mercury Harp, causing a spiraling blast of water to be emitted from her hand and fly toward the target.

Musicals

This attack first appeared in the musical Sailor Moon SuperS - Yume Senshi - Ai - Eien ni..., and there was also performed with the Mercury Harp. In other musicals, however, it was performed without any item at all, similar to the anime.

Video Games

Mercury Aqua Rhapsody 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

  • The harp used in this attack resembled a lyre, which was said to have been invented by the Roman deity Mercury.
