Background
Fire Soul first appeared in "Cursed Buses! Fire Senshi Mars Appears" of the anime. After finally awakening her Senshi powers and transforming for the first time, Sailor Mars used Fire Soul to defeat Kigaan, a Youma commanded by Jadeite to abduct young girls taking the six o'clock bus from Hikawa Shrine.
Technique
Sailor Mars would begin her Fire Soul attack by clasping her hands together with her two index fingers pointing outwards (the first "kuji" gesture). A fireball would form at the tips of her index fingers which she then shot forward, killing or wounding her enemy by engulfing him or her in flames.
Sometimes Sailor Mars would combine Fire Soul with another Senshi's attack, such as in episodes 11 and 24, where it was combined with Sailor Moon's Moon Tiara Action; in episode 21, where it was combined with both Sailor Moon's Moon Tiara Action and Sailor Mercury's Sabão Spray; in episode 36, where it was combined with Sailor Jupiter's Supreme Thunder; and in episode 48, where it was combined with Sailor Venus's Crescent Beam.
Video Games
Fire Soul appears in many Sailor Moon video games, including Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (Super Famicom), Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon (arcade), and Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Another Story (Super Famicom).
