Mercury Aqua Mirage is an unusually stong water-related attack used by Sailor Mercury that engulfs her opponent in a circular pool of water that will burst and destroy the enemy.
Anime
Super Sailor Mercury only used this attack in the anime special "Ami's First Love," against Bonnon.
In this attack, Super Sailor Mercury summoned a globe of water, which then split into several streams that shot toward her target; when the streams made contact, the target was engulfed by a larger globe of water, which then burst and destroyed whatever was inside of it. This attack was only used once in the anime series.
However in the Sailor Moon S Opening, there is a short part where each Inner Sailor Guardian is performing attacks similar to their manga ones. It is unknown if Mercury was performing Aqua Mirage in the opening but it is assumed to be.
Crystal
