Falion

(Naka Tomoko)

A Cardian sent by Ail and An on multiple missions to harvest energy and recharge the Makaiju. She resembled a pink lion, and was able to morph between an animal form and a more humanoid form. She had a symbiotic relationship with a "wheel of destiny": a spinning wheel that absorbed and stored the energy from her victims. Her chief weapons were her powerful claws, and an ability to shoot powerful energy blasts from her mouth.

She succeeded in removing some energy from Shinozaki, but was interrupted by Kino Makoto. She returned to the Makaiju and deposited the energy, before reverting to her card form. Meanwhile, Hino Rei identified her as an enemy with a flame reading. She was sent out to harvest more energy, but was intercepted by the Sailor Team. A battle ensued in which Falion had the upper hand, but the Moonlight Knight intervened and destroyed her wheel, crippling her for a while. Falion eventually recovered and went to attack Sailor Moon, but she was killed by Sailor Jupiter's Supreme Thunder attack. (049)

Fashion Designing Club

A club at TA Academy, of which Ougi Sakurako and Junko were members. The club provided the warm-up for Hino Rei's concert at the TA Culture Festival with their fashion show, Aliens from Outer Space. The members waited until the last minute to find the perfect models, and ultimately found them in the form of Ginga Seijuurou and Ginga Natsumi. The club were apparently well known for humiliating unwitting volunteers with their outlandish designs. (054)

Feeling Couple

An attraction at the TA Culture Festival that tested compatibility between lovers. Hino Rei and Mizuno Ami participated, and did suspiciously well. (054)

Ferrari F40 Testarossa

The brand of car driven by Nephrite's alter ego Sanjoin Masato. He first used the red Testarossa when approaching Saionji Rui. (014) He later used it in his plan to drain energy from Matsuno Hiromi. The car had a customised registration plate bearing Nephrite's crest. (021)

The most popular sport on the Moon during the era of the Silver Millennium. Princess Serenity and Sailor Jupiter were considered to be amongst the best at this sport. Sailor Jupiter's reincarnation, Kino Makoto, retained much of this talent, although the same could not be said for Tsukino Usagi. Both girls, along with Mizuno Ami, Hino Rei and Aino Minako, attended a promotional event for the opening of the Juuban Ice Arena, in which champion figure skaters Misha and Janelyn gave free lessons. However, the event had been hijacked by Kunzite, who was aware of the popularity of the sport amongst the people of the Moon, and had manipulated Misha and Janelyn into helping to identify the Sailor Senshi. (039)

Fiore

(Midorikawa Hikaru)

An alien being with no knowledge of his origins. Fiore drifted through space in a protective bubble for much of his childhood, until he happened upon Earth. He landed in Tokyo, where he was found by a young Chibi Mamoru, who was in hospital following the accident that killed his parents. Mamoru befriended the young alien, but Fiore soon discovered that his metabolism was incompatible with the Earth, and he couldn't stay for long. As he prepared to leave, Mamoru presented him with a red rose. Fiore resolved to return to Mamoru with lots of flowers, and left the Earth to search the galaxy for flowers that Mamoru would like.

During his travels, Fiore discovered a Xenian Flower. The flower latched onto his insecurities and altered his behaviour, making him furious at the people of Earth for abandoning Mamoru. He continued to gather flowers, including various Flower Youma, but his intentions had now changed. He returned to Earth around a decade after he left, on an asteroid covered with flowers, the Xenian Flower now attached to his body. He appeared before Mamoru at a botanical garden, although Mamoru initially didn't remember him. Tsukino Usagi became protective of Mamoru, worried at how close Fiore was getting. Fiore merely knocked her away, then disappeared, telling Mamoru he would fulfil his promise.

Fiore and the Xenian Flower subsequently sent a wave of seeds down to Earth. The following day, one of them sprouted into the Flower Youma Glycina and began draining energy from the populace. The Sailor Team noticed and used their combined powers to destroy the monster. Sensing this, Fiore appeared and attacked the Sailor Team. Tuxedo Kamen came to their aid and challenged Fiore. Fiore instantly recognised him as Mamoru, and believed that his friend had come back to him. When Tuxedo Kamen questioned Fiore's actions, Fiore insisted that Sailor Moon was deceiving him, and would abandon him just like the rest of the humans on Earth. Tuxedo Kamen told Fiore to trust Sailor Moon, but Fiore extended his nails and lunged at her. Tuxedo Kamen blocked his attack and was stabbed. Horrified, Fiore took Tuxedo Kamen back to his asteroid, and suspended him in a liquid-filled container in order to heal his wounds. There, Fiore explained that after he found the Xenian Flower, he realised he had to kill everyone on Earth as punishment for abandoning Mamoru.

Eventually the Sailor Team teleported onto the asteroid. In response to this, the asteroid altered is shape, opening up to reveal a surface covered in flowers. Fiore confronted them, and Sailor Moon asked him to give Mamoru back. Fiore said that he would, but first he had to cover the Earth with seeds from his asteroids, releasing Flower Youma to kill the population by draining their energy. Fiore then released a swarm of Dahlians at the Sailor Team. Sailor Moon managed to kill a great number of them with her Moon Princess Halation attack, so Fiore directed them to swarm directly at the Sailor Team, trapping Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus beneath their mass. Sailor Moon escaped them, but Fiore had the Flower Youma attach the rest of the Sailor Team to a vine, and threatened to kill them if Sailor Moon didn't stop attacking his flowers. Sailor Moon agreed, saying that she valued her friends too much to sacrifice them. Fiore began to experience sympathy towards her point of view, but the Xenian Flower exerted control again, and physically merged with Fiore. Fiore attacked Sailor Moon and started to take her energy. The Sailor Team tried to stop him, and just as he was about to deliver the final blow, he was struck by a rose. Tuxedo Kamen, who had broken out of his container, stood before him. Fiore was horrified that he had been attacked by his friend, and the flowers on the asteroid died off in response. Fiore changed the course of the asteroid, intending to kill everyone on it. Although the asteroid would burn up before it hit the Earth, the Xenian Flower would survive and kill the people of Earth as she had intended. Sailor Moon tried to use the Silver Crystal to restore the asteroid's course, but Fiore tried to stop her, placing his hand over the Silver Crystal. Their memories merged, and Fiore realised the rose received from Mamoru as a child had been given to Mamoru by a young Usagi, who was celebrating the birth of her little brother. The Silver Crystal powered up, the Xenian Flower was destroyed and Fiore disappeared. Sailor Moon altered the asteroid's heading, but the Silver Crystal shattered with the release of energy, and she collapsed. Fiore reappeared and presented Tuxedo Kamen with a flower that represented his own energy. Tuxedo Kamen took some of the flower's nectar in his mouth, and transferred it to Sailor Moon with a kiss. The nectar brought Sailor Moon back to life and restored the Silver Crystal. Meanwhile, Fiore, now free of the Xenian Flower's influence, returned to his child form and drifted off into space again. (SMR)

Fiore's race is unknown, but he bears an extremely strong resemblance to Ail and An, and many fans have speculated that they are all of the same species.

Firamisu

An unusual cake that Hino Rei wished to sample on a date with Chiba Mamoru. (031)

The first Sailor Moon Nakayoshi Guide is quick to assure us that firamisu is not the same as tiramisu, oh no. They are apparently very different.

Fire Buster

A flamethrower-like weapon invented by Eudial. She used it against Sailor Moon after trying to steal Aino Minako's Pure Heart Crystal, and the weapon was successful in deflecting Moon Spiral Heart Attack. However, the weapon was damaged and rendered useless by Sailor Venus, who punctured it with Venus Love Me Chain. (109) Eudial later rebuilt and improved the weapon, christening it Fire Buster II. (111)

Fire Buster II

An improved version of the Fire Buster, built by Eudial after the original weapon was destroyed by Sailor Venus. This bulkier version was even more powerful than its predecessor, and had an attachment capable of firing Sticky Liquid to slow down enemies. The fire produced by the weapon was very difficult to extinguish, and it was more than equal to Sailor Moon's Moon Spiral Heart Attack in terms of sheer power. The weapon was only destroyed when Sailor Moon used the Holy Grail to transform into Super Sailor Moon and deflected the flames back at Eudial. (111)

The first attack used by Sailor Mars, in which she created a ball of fire at her fingertips and released it in the direction of the enemy. The attack by itself was enough to destroy a Youma. (010) Sailor Mars was able to combine this attack with a Moon Tiara Action (011) or both the Moon Tiara Action and Shabon Spray. (021) The Sailor Mars of the Silver Millennium also used this attack. (044) She later learned a more powerful variant, Fire Soul Bird. (054)

Actually, it could be argued that Sailor Mars' first attack was Aku Ryo Tai San: however, Rei learned this attack before becoming Sailor Mars, and it does not seem to have been linked to her powers as a Sailor Senshi.

Fire Soul Bird

An improved version of Fire Soul, discovered by Sailor Mars after the Cardian Seiren disrupted her performance at the TA Culture Festival. During the attack, the flames she generated combined with an ofuda to form an agile flaming bird that homed in on the enemy, dodging retaliatory measures. (054)

Five Rin-pic

The Droid Udering's final attack, consisting of five rings in the shape of the Olympic emblem. The attack was defeated by Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus. (077)

The attack's name in Japanese, "Go Rinpikku", is an amalgamation of "Go Ringu" (Five Rings) and "Orinpikku" (Olympic).

(Asagami Yoko)

Youma used by Jadeite during his hijacking of FM No. 10. She had the ability to disguise herself as a human, and posed as an employee in order to collect letters addressed to Midnight Zero. She was destroyed by Sailor Moon after the programme's true nature was discovered. (003)

Flower Arrangement Club

One of the clubs at TA Academy that held an exhibition during the TA Culture Festival. (054)

Items sent out to listeners who wrote into Midnight Zero, the Dark Kingdom's late night romantic talk show. They absorbed the energy of those who wore them, and were to blame for an outbreak of mysterious sleeping sickness. Sakurada Haruna and Osaka Naru both received flower brooches and were both put to sleep by them. Tsukino Usagi was also briefly affected by Naru's. Sailor Moon later broadcast a warning to Midnight Zero's listeners, and the effect of the brooches wore off after the plan was revealed. (003)

Flower Shop Flower Teruno

A business set up by Tellu, and run using her civilian identity, Teruno Ruru. The true purpose of the store was to distribute Telluns, the Pure Heart Crystal harvesting plants designed by Tellu. After she had sold a large number of the plants - a feat achieved by selling them for just 10 yen each - she sealed the remaining customers inside the store and activated the Telluns, removing their Pure Heart Crystals. However, the store had been infiltrated by Sailor Moon, Sailor Chibi Moon and Sailor Pluto, who had discovered her plan. A battle ensued inside the store, and Tellu was ultimately killed by her own creation, the Hyper Tellun. (121)

Flower Youma

Various types of plant-based humanoid life from an unknown part of the galaxy. The Dahlian, Glycina and Campanula varieties of Flower Youma had near-identical features above the torso, although each type had a different method of motility, meaning a great variety between the lower bodies of different varieties. By far the most dangerous class of Flower Youma was the tiny, unassuming Xenian Flower, which made up for its small size and lack of mobility with hypnotic, mind-altering powers and keen intelligence. With the aid of a host, Xenian Flowers could exert control over other Flower Youma types. Flower Youma fed by draining energy directly from other life forms.

An asteroid containing a large number of Flower Youma and their seeds was brought close to Earth after Fiore was enraptured by a Xenian Flower and decided to punish the people of Earth for their perceived crimes against Chiba Mamoru. A number of seeds were released, and sprouted in Tokyo. One of these grew into a Glycina, which drained energy from a number of people and drew the attention of the Sailor Team. After Tuxedo Kamen was captured by Fiore, the Sailor Team teleported to his asteroid, where they encountered a horde of Flower Youma. Many of them were wiped out by their attacks, but the vast majority were killed off after Fiore was attacked by Tuxedo Kamen. The Xenian Flower remained, apparently with the ability to create more Flower Youma, but she was eventually destroyed by the Silver Crystal. (SMR)

Fluid Mechanics and Wave Mechanics

One of the advanced books owned by Chiba Mamoru. (108)

Flute

An instrument played by Ail. As Ginga Seijuurou, his musical skills enthralled the girls of Juuban Municipal Junior High School, but they also served a more practical purpose. The flute was able to summon Cardians from their cards when they were required to harvest energy. (047)

Flying Roll Receive

Aino Minako's trademark volleyball move. Her use of the move as Sailor Venus when battling the Daimon Haikyun led to Asai Tsutomu discovering her dual identity. (100)

Radio station operating in Juuban. It was systematically hijacked by Jadeite in order to broadcast Midnight Zero, a fact unknown to the station's management. (003)

Four Wheel Drive

An attack used by the Droid Udering against Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury. The attack consisted of four rings of light, and was accompanied by Udering's proclamation that V-patterned rings were best for beating a rival in love. The attack was neutralised by Sailor Mars. (077)

Fried Lobster

Umino Gurio promised to make this delicacy for Osaka Naru, as a change from his more usual fried shrimp, after winning the Affection Contest in Lover's Park. (095)

A delicacy often made by Umino Gurio for his girlfriend Osaka Naru. His obsession with the food stemmed from a single incident when Naru asked if she could have some of his fried shrimp. Tuxedo Umino Kamen used fried shrimp as a weapon... unsuccessfully, as it turned out. (032) While fried shrimp always remained the centrepiece of his lunches, Umino claimed to incorporate a lot of variety. (055) After he and Naru won the Affection Contest in Lover's Park, he vowed to make her the more advanced dish of fried lobster. The results of this experiment are not known. (095)

A sport of which the brainwashed Countess Rose claimed to be a devotee, to the extent that all students at her Princess Seminar had to be skilled at throwing frisbees. In reality, this was a plot by Kunzite to uncover the true identity of Sailor Moon, who, he reasoned, would excel at throwing the frisbee but fail at everything else. Tsukino Usagi did indeed prove to be excellent at throwing frisbees, and the Countess narrowed Sailor Moon's identity down to Usagi, Hino Rei and Aino Minako. However, the plan was stopped by Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus before the results could be acted upon. (037)

Furaiki

(Kataishi Chiharu)

A Droid owned by Petz with the ability to create thunderstorms. Furaiki was able to fly, and was armed with a drum for making thunder, two electrode-like drumsticks for making lightning, and a hairdryer to make wind. She was summoned after Rubeus revealed Chibi Usa's fear of thunder, and suggested a thunderstorm might cause her to release her identifying energy. The Droid created a heavy thunderstorm, forcing Chibi Usa to take shelter in a supermarket. Desperately afraid of the thunder, Chibi Usa took out the Space-Time Key and tried to open a portal home, but merely succeeded in neutralising gravity across a small area. She then released a large amount of energy that was detected by both Furaiki and Petz. However, Tsukino Usagi and Chiba Mamoru also noticed the energy and came to assist. Furaiki tried to attack Chibi Usa, then followed her into the adjoining building, in which Mizuno Ami, Hino Rei, Kino Makoto and Aino Minako had become trapped due to the lack of gravity. Meanwhile, Usagi transformed into Sailor Moon and challenged the Droid. Furaiki tried to use her lightning powers against Sailor Moon, but her drum was destroyed by one of Tuxedo Kamen's roses. Now defenceless, Furaiki was killed by Sailor Moon's Moon Princess Halation. (064)

(Satou Hiroyuki)

A student of KO University and an employee of the Crown Game Centre. (002) Motoki was a close friend of Chiba Mamoru, the boyfriend of Nishimura Reika and older brother to Furuhata Unazuki. (015, 029, 069)  He was also the object of one of Tsukino Usagi's crushes, and was later pursued by Kino Makoto as well: his voice reminded her of her sempai. Before Usagi's relationship with Mamoru, Motoki was usually the one to offer her advice and reassurance. Though Usagi was clearly smitten with him, Motoki regarded her as something akin to a little sister, and despite the attentions of both Usagi and Makoto, Motoki resolved to remain faithful to Reika, even after she went to study in Africa. (002, 029)

Motoki's favourite food was rice with hashed beef. He was once caught up in an attack by Zoisite, who was in pursuit of Reika's Rainbow Crystal. (029)

Furuhata Unazuki

(Endou Miyako, Hara Eriko)

The younger sister of Furuhata Motoki, who worked as a waitress. (069, 094) Tsukino Usagi was initially suspicious that Unazuki was having an illicit relationship with Chiba Mamoru after she saw her riding with him on his motorbike, but it later transpired that Mamoru was simply giving Unazuki a lift to a date with her real boyfriend. For his part, Mamoru was trying to use Unazuki's presence to drive a wedge between himself and Usagi. (069)

Unazuki was attacked by the Daimon Osouji, who formed when a Daimon Egg merged with her vacuum cleaner. Osouji preyed on Unazuki's anticipation of a first kiss with her boyfriend, and removed her Pure Heart Crystal. The Daimon absconded, and Unazuki was discovered unconscious some time later by Tsukino Usagi and her friends. She awoke in a semi-lucid state, now totally preoccupied with her desire for a kiss, and attempted to kiss Kino Makoto before she was wrestled away. Hino Rei used an ofuda to suppress her movement, while the rest of the Sailor Team left to recover the Pure Heart Crystal. Sailor Moon eventually defeated Osouji and obtained the crystal, then raced back to the house and returned it. (094)

Future Considerations of Genetic Engineering

A book owned by Chiba Mamoru and published by Dantou-sha, discovered by Tsukino Usagi on a visit to his apartment. The book heightened Usagi's concerns about the intellectual gap between her and Mamoru, and led her to ask Mizuno Ami to teach her about Genetic Engineering. (093)
