"My Guardian, Jupiter! Cause a storm! Rain down lightning!" --Sailorjuptier; Volume 1, Act 5
Jupiter Power
Manga Powers and Attacks
Flower Hurricane
This attack is exclusive to the manga and is sometimes used in conjunction with Supreme Thunder. Unlike the anime, the manga more often utilizes the aspect of nature in Makoto's powers, and this is a good example. A hurricane of flower petals rushes towards a target. Flower Hurricane is used in Sailorjupiter's first appearance, manga volume 1, act 5, and it is the first attack she ever uses. She uses a combination of this attack and Supreme Thunder to kill Nephrite and free Motoki from a Dark Kingdom curse.
Supreme Thunder
Sailorjupiter's first and most frequently used attack. Bolts of electricity collect on her antenna and are then hurled at an enemy. Supreme Thunder is first used in Sailorjupiter's debut, volume 1, act 5, though it is not named until act 7. Sometimes variations of the phrase "My Guardian, Jupiter, call down a storm!" are used in place of the actual attack name. She uses a combination of this attack and Flower Hurricane to kill Nephrite and free Motoki from a Dark Kingdom curse.
Sailor Planet Attack
For this attack, Sailorjupiter combines with the rest of Serenity's guardians (Mars, Mercury, and Venus) to form several powerful shockwaves. The attack phrase is prefaced by yelling each soldier's respective planet and the word "power" (i.e. "Jupiter Power . . . Sailor Planet Attack!"). This attack is used first in manga volume 2, act 10, against Kunzite. The blast completely disintegrates his body. The stone on his forehead is the only remnant left behind.
Sparkling Wide Pressure
This attack is presumed to have a higher power level than her first two attacks, as it is executed after she has powered up. Sparkling Wide Pressure looks very similar to both Supreme Thunder and Coconut Cyclone. She raises her arms above her head while lightning collects on her antenna. She then hurls said lightning towards an enemy. This attack mirrors her counterpart Petz's Dark Thunder. It is first used in manga volume 4, act 15, against Beruche and her horde of monsters.
Coconut Cyclone
It has been suggested that this is the manga version of Oak Evolution, though this is not factual (for this to be true Oak Evolution would have to be absent from the manga, which it is not). Leaves are used in both, but Coconut Cyclone is less powerful and is used only before she has powered up to a super senshi. It is first used in manga volume 7, act 24, to combat a genetically engineered monster. In combination with Sailorvenus's Wink Chain Sword, the monster is completely destroyed.
Jupiter Oak Evolution
Oak Evolution is Sailorjupiter's final and most powerful attack. Swarms of electrically charged leaves rip an enemy to shreds. (Interestingly, has anyone else noticed that all of her thunder-based attacks involve lifting her arms above her head at an angle?) Sailorjupiter obtains this attack when she receives the Jupiter Crystal from her sailor guardian and powers up to Super Sailorjupiter. It is first used in manga volume 13, act 37, titled "Jupiter Dream," to kill Hawk Eye.
Sailor Planet Power Meditation
This attack most closely resembles the anime version of Sailor Planet Attack, except with bent knees. Sailorjupiter combines with the rest of the senshi team (except for Sailormoon, Sailorchibimoon, and Sailorsaturn) to create a powerful beam of energy. The girls hold hands and close their eyes, which is probably why this attack is called "meditation." Before yelling the final word, each senshi yells the name of her respective planet. This attack is used against Zirconia in act 41.
Jupiter Oak Evolution (Evil Version)
During the final battle with Galaxia, the golden soldier manages to gain control of the senshi's minds and turn them against Sailormoon. Sailorjupiter uses this attack while she is under the spell and shackled by Galaxia's trademark bracelets. It is almost identical to her normal Oak Evolution, but the electricity that surrounds her is full of dark energy. It is used against Eternal Sailormoon in volume 18, act 50, and delivers a striking blow.
Galactica Gale
This attack is used in conjunction with Sailors Mars, Venus, and Mercury when the senshi are being controlled by Galaxia. It delivers a powerful blast of negative energy. It is also used in volume 18, act 50, against Eternal Sailormoon. (It is interesting to note that these attacks serve to illustrate just how resilient Eternal Sailormoon is. The onslaught is brutal and constant, and she manages to withstand the combined powers of eight sailor soldiers.)
Galactica Planet Attack
This is the last attack that Sailorjupiter wields under Galaxia's control. Sailorjupiter combines power with the rest of the evil senshi (except for Sailorchibimoon) for this attack. A powerful shockwave of dark energy is produced. In league with the two attacks shown above, it is also used in volume 18, act 50, as a last effort against Eternal Sailormoon. The blast does not kill her, but it does significant damage and completely destroys her wings.
Anime Powers and Attacks
Supreme Thunder
Supreme Thunder is her very first and least powerful attack. Upon yelling these words, bolts of electricity are collected on her antenna and hurled at an enemy. As in the manga, the attack phrase is sometimes prefaced with any variation of "My Guardian, Jupiter, call down a storm!" It is first used in episode 25, "Koisuru kairiki shoujo, Jupiter-chan," Sailorjupiter's first appearance. She uses it to injure a youma, giving Sailormoon time to restore it to its human form.
Sailor Teleport
Sailor Teleport is not an attack, but it is a power that is used in battle scenarios. As with many of the combined attacks, Sailor Teleport involves standing in a circle and linking hands. There is no actual phrase uttered to summon this power. The senshi stand in full moonlight and concentrate their powers to transport. This power is first used in episode 45, "Sailor Senshi shisu! Hisou naru saishuusen." It allows the senshi to teleport to the North Pole for their final showdown with the Dark Kingdom.
Supreme Thunder Dragon
This attack is used in episode 55, "Tsukikage ha Seijuurou? Moeru Mako-chan," and is specific to the anime. The first half of the attack is identical to Supreme Thunder, but as the bolts of lightning stream through the air they take the form of a dragon and devour the enemy. It is performed to eliminate a daemon that has bound Sailormoon and Sailormercury. Although powerful, this attack is only used once (which is quite a pity because it is such a cool sequence).
Sparkling Wide Pressure
The awakening of this power comes about in Sailormoon R episode 65, "Koi no Ronsou! Minako to Makoto ga tairitsu," and coincides with the awakening of Sailorvenus's new power. Sailorjupiter takes the lightning that has collected on her antenna, forms it into a ball in her hands, and throws it at her target. It is the antithesis to Petz's attack Dark Thunder, as is also the case in the manga. When it is first executed it is attempted to kill Petz, but Petz's Dark Thunder cancels it out.
Sailor Planet Attack
This attack is used in episode 72, "Hijou no Rubeus! Kanashimi no yonshimai." The senshi have been sucked into an alternate dimension created by the Black Moon wand. They join hands to produce a powerful blast of energy that destroys the wand and restores them to earth. It closely resembles the manga's "Sailor Planet Power Meditation," except the girls are not on their knees. It is used again without Sailormoon in episode 73, "UFO shutsugen! Sarawareta Sailor Senshi tachi," though unsuccessfully.
Super Supreme Thunder
This attack is a more powerful version of Sailorjupiter's Supreme Thunder and is used in episode 147, "Unmei no Partner? Makoto no junjou." It looks the same as its sister attack, but operates on a higher voltage. It appears only in the anime and is only used once.
Jupiter Oak Evolution
Episode 154, "Yume Taiketsu! Minako to Makoto Zekkou Sengen," sees the dawning of Sailorjupiter's most powerful attack. Sailorjupiter's antenna emits rays of green light and bunches of electrically charged leaves swirl around her. She then spins quickly, which causes the leaves to fly towards a target. When the Amazonness Quartet has bound the other senshi (except for Sailorvenus), Sailorjupiter uses Oak Evolution to free them and in the process injures Jun Jun.
