Mars Fireball ChargeJapanese Anime Name: Akuryou Taisan (Evil Spirit Disperse)First Appearance: English Ep.8, Japanese Ep.11. See Also: Akuryou Taisan [manga] [live action]
In Brief: While this is Sailor Mars' second Sailor Soldier attack, Raye had been using a version of this attack in her civillian form before she was awakened and met Sailor Moon and Mercury. The attack basically involves Raye throwing an ofuda (anti-evil scroll) at a target and yelling, "Evil Spirits Disperse!". The desired effect would almost always be to freeze the evildoer.
Cultural: The chanting Sailor Mars does in the Japanese version, "Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen. Akuryou taisan!" is called Kuji-in and is a form of Shinto meditation that is practices by Shinto, Shugendo, Zen and the Ninja. It is also known as "The Nine Finger Cuts".
The Attack: In the anime, Sailor Mars begins her attack by holding a single ofud in front of her face, charges it with her Mars power and then throws it at the enemy. Interesting to note that a white flame surrounds the ofuda when it's charged.
