'''''Shine Aqua Illusion''''' was an attack used by [[Sailor Mercury]] in all [[Sailor Moon (series)|''Sailor Moon'']] continuities. 

This attack first appeared in [[The Friendship of the Sailor Senshi! Goodbye Ami|episode 62]] of the [[Sailor Moon (anime)|anime]], when Sailor Mercury used it against the [[Droid]] [[Nipasu]]. During the attack, droplets of water spun around her, who then collected them in her hands, sending the water forward toward her target. Not only could this attack damage an enemy, it could also freeze them in a block of ice, giving [[Sailor Moon]] or another [[Sailor Senshi]] time to attack.

In the [[Sailor Moon (manga)|manga]], Sailor Mercury used this attack for the first and only time against [[Koan]]'s Droids in [[Act 15 Shinnyuu SAILORMARS|Act 15]]. It seemed effective against the Droids, but was unable to extinguish the flame barrier in which [[Sailor Mars]] had been trapped. 

This attack first appeared in [[Act 9 - I'll Protect the Legendary Silver Crystal|Act 9]] of the [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon|live-action series]], when Sailor Mercury used it against [[Nephrite]]. She used it only three times, including once to put out a fire. To perform the attack, Sailor Mercury crossed her hands in front of herself, then lifted her left hand in the air while the other was held out at her side. She then lowered her left arm while lifting the right as she called out the name of the attack. She quickly pulled her arms in then lifted both hands, pointing her right hand at her target as she fired off the attack.

Shine Aqua Illusion appeared in the very first [[Sera Myu|musical]], ''[[Sailor Moon - Gaiden Dark Kingdom Fukkatsu Hen]]'', where it was used against [[Zoisite]].

This attck only appeared once in Sailor Moon Crystal when Sailor Mercury tried to free Sailor Mars from Koan's flame trap.
This attack was also used in the [[Sailor Moon Games|video games]] ''[[Sailor Moon R (Super Famicom)|Sailor Moon R]]'' and ''[[Sailor Moon: Another Story]]''. In ''Another Story'', it appeared as a large wave of water.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Sailor Moon (manga)|manga]] and [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal|Crystal]], [[Sailor Mercury]] had a similar attack called [[Shine Snow Illusion]] in addition to this one.

* This attack was originally called "Mercury Ice Storm Blast" in the [[Sailor Moon in North America#English Dub|first English dub]], but when a new writing team took over with [[Magical Power of Darkness! Esmeraude's Invasion|episode 69]], its original name was used instead.
