| Moon Princess Halation in the anime |
Moon Princess Halation was Sailor Moon's attack from the R season of the anime and the Black Moon arc of the manga.
When Sailor Moon performed this attack in the anime, she would wave the rod around in a complex manner, charging it up, before pointing it toward her target and sending the attack.
In the manga, Neo-Queen Serenity gave her Cutie Moon Rod to Sailor Chibi Moon, allowing her to perform this attack with Sailor Moon in order to destroy Death Phantom.

Trivia
- The word "halation" refers to a photographic error in which certain bright objects appear to have an aura or halo. The word does not appear to have any significance to the attack.
- In the musical Shin / Henshin - Super Senshi e no Michi - Last Dracul Jokyoku, Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon performed this attack in conjunction with the talismans of the Outer Senshi in order to purify the Inner Senshi after they had become vampires.
- This attack was originally renamed "Moon Scepter Elimination" in the English dub, but in dub episode 67 it changed to "Moon Scepter Activation." The dub also removed most of the sound effects during the attack animation sequence.
- The ADV box set of Sailor Moon R mistakenly subtitled this attack as "Moon Princess Elimination," one of the dub names for this attack.
