The Prism Heart Compact

First appearance: Act 27 (Manga); Episode 103 (Anime)

The Prism Heart Compact was Chibiusa’s very first transformation device. Using it, she could transform into Sailor Chibi Moon by shouting the phrase “Moon Prism Power, Make Up" (the same phrase her mother first used to transform into Sailor Moon).

Neither the manga nor the anime ever gives an origin for the Prism Heart Compact; it simply appears with Chibiusa after she returns to the 20th Century following an extended stay with her parents and everyone else in the 30th Century. However, it’s probably safe to assume that Chibiusa’s mother, Neo-Queen Serenity, created the brooch. This assumption is especially logical in the manga, as NQS was shown creating both the Cosmic Heart Compact and the Spiral Heart Moon Rod, both of which were given to Sailor Moon.

In the manga, the Prism Heart Compact contained Chibiusa’s Ginzuishou, which could be removed from the brooch at will. Just like Usagi with her own brooch(es), Chibiusa always wore the compact on the front bow of her school uniform. Towards the end of the third arc, Mistress 9, who had taken over Hotaru Tomoe’s body, stole the Prism Heart Compact (with the Ginzuishou still inside of it) by forcibly ripping it from Chibiusa’s school uniform. Because the Ginzuishou synchronizes completely to its wielder, the shock of it being torn away caused Chibiusa’s heart to stop beating, forcing Mamoru to keep her alive with his healing powers. Fortunately, Hotaru’s spirt (which was still alive within Mistress 9) was able to return the Prism Heart Compact and the Ginzuishou to Chibiusa, saving her life and allowing her to join the battle. Later on, in the beginning of the fourth arc, the Prism Heart Compact was upgraded to the Chibi Moon Compact by Pegasus. 

In the anime, the Prism Heart Compact did not contain any Crystal but still allowed Chibiusa to transform, similarly to Usagi’s Transformation Brooch. Because it didn’t have Chibiusa’s Ginzuishou, the Prism Heart Compact was of much less importance than it was in the manga, but still played a vital role by allowing Chibiusa to transform. After faithfully serving this purpose all throughout the S season, it was upgraded to the Chibi Moon Compact by Pegasus at the beginning of the SuperS season. 

Other notes:

• In the anime, the Prism Heart Compact is never opened. However, settei (animation artwork) and the toy of the compact reveal what its interior looks like.
• Going off of that last point, it’s unknown why the brooch would need to open up if it had nothing inside of it.
• This brooch was never named on-screen or in the manga. However, in theNakayoshi anime album released for the first half of the S season, it was referred to as both “Pink Sugar Compact” and “Prism Heart Compact.” However, the toy version released by Bandai used the latter name, making it the unofficial name for the brooch.
• Although the Prism Heart Compact is heart-shaped in the manga, it’s circular in the anime. However, the manga’s design is still present, just mounted on a circular background. In addition, the small top decorations are much more pronounced in the anime’s design.
