|-|Items=
File:Sm.mangamoontiara.PNG.png|Tiara
File:item neptune crystal.jpg|Neptune Crystal
* Tiara: Part of any Sailor Senshi's fuku, except Sailor Cosmos, Sailor Galaxia, and Eternal Sailor Moon. When looking at the tiara from a distance it appears to have a rather simple smooth golden design with a circular red gem at it's centre. On closer inspection though one can see that it in fact has subtle details engraved in its surface and the gem itself is encased in a golden frame.
* Neptune Crystal: The Sailor Crystal that Michiru Kaiou used to transform into the Super Sailor Neptune in the manga. It was given to her by Hotaru Tomoe.
|-|Weapons=
File:Deep Aqua Mirror.jpg|Deep Aqua Mirror
File:item marine cathedrale.jpg|Marine Cathédrale
File:Galactica.bracletes.manga.png|Galactica Bracelets
* Deep Aqua Mirror: Sailor Neptune's Talisman, which she used to perform the attack "Submarine Reflection". It was used not only as a weapon, but also to reveal the truth and the location of enemies.The item is already possessed by the owner; rather than being made to summon the Holy Grail they were made to summon Sailor Saturn herself. The mirror has been seen to work for others beside Sailor Neptune as Chibiusa once used it to locate and teleport to a different location. Michiru gave Chibiusa the mirror at some point before the Dream Arc. When the Outer Sailor Guardians returned, Chibiusa teleported the mirror back to Super Sailor Neptune in order to help her fight the Dead Moon Circus.
* Marine Cathédrale: The name of Michiru's violin. During one of her concerts, an audience member states, "I hear that her violin is a five hundred million yen Stradivarius named after the temple of the sea."Michiru, as Sailor Neptune, is also able to use her violin for attacking, as she used it to perform an unnamed sound attack in Act 30. She is also able to perform two attacks with her violin in the manga: Submarine Violin Tide and Galactica Violin Tide.
* Galactica Bracelets: Bracelets worn when Sailor Saturn was reconstructed to be a loyal subject to Sailor Galaxia. Can be used to fire blasts of energy at an enemy. Destroying them entirely and allowing the user to take their Sailor Crystal from them. They have purple and green gems on them.

: Can Pilot: Kaioumaru
Intelligence: Gifted (Very intelligent. She attended a school reserved for geniuses simply to spy on her enemies in the Infinity arc of the series and excelled in academics and the arts without much effort.) She's also been shown to have sharp intuition and some form of precognition, which is enhanced by her Deep Aqua Mirror.
Standard Tactics: Infiltrating and transforming | Her attacks are based around the ocean or sea, precognition and powers granted by her mirror. In-Character she is less likely to use her Talisman to its full extent due to it having a very large obvious energy signature and if the three Talismans are gathered they will summon Sailor Saturn, whose destiny is to destroy the world. | Is bloodlusted under Sailor Galaxia | Unknown
Weaknesses: Dislikes physical education. Sailor Crystals contains the power of their planets, and will destroy the bearer's physical body if removed. | Needs to maintain concentration to use her magic | None notable normally, under the control of Sailor Galaxia, she loses her life if her Bracelets are destroyed | Unknown
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
: Magic: Michiru is a talented sorceress, who can create images and illusions at will and can channel her magic through her violin music, able to paralyze opponents.
