Gigaros is the sixth Cardian that Ail and An sent to gather energy for the Makai Tree in Sailor Moon R.
Etymology[]
Gigarosu (戯画ロス) is a pun on the Japanese spelling of Icarus (イカロス Ikarosu) - the name of a man in Greek Mythology famous for misusing his wings.
Information[]
Though the previous Cardian, Reci, managed to collect a lot of energy for the Makai Tree before her death, it began to lose energy again, so Ail and An sent Gigaros to drain energy from little kids to try something different. In a similar fashion to Kigaan, Gigaros kept attacking buses full of kids. On one of these buses was a little girl whom Minako Aino often protected from bullies, and who (unlike the bullies that pick on her) believes that Sailor Moon exists. Minako and Usagi were on the bus at the time, and so was Usagi Tsukino. They transformed into Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus to fight Gigaros, but she gained the advantage over them until the Moonlight Knight appeared. For the first time, Sailor Venus used a new technique: Crescent Beam Shower, and while Gigaros was trapped/damaged, Sailor Moon destroyed her with Moon Princess Halation.
Powers[]
She has vulture wings and attacks by stretching her fingernails to impale her victims. She also uses her wings to create tornadoes.
