[ back ] The first table holds information about Sailormercury's transformations, her items, and attacks from the Japanese manga and anime versions. The second table and paragraphs hold detailed, non-senshi information about Ami. I have put a ' * ' next to any information from the manga version. All unmarked info is either from the anime or is inclusive of both the manga and anime versions.

Mercury is the Roman name of the Greek god Hermes. Hermes is the messenger god to the gods of Olympus. Hermes was extremely intelligent; he gave many useful skills to mortal humans, including math and the alphabet. When Hermes was a baby he killed a turtle and strung it with strings. In this way he created the lyre (a harp like instrument). This would explain Sailormercury's Aqua Rhapsody attack. Hermes carried a caduceus - a staff with ribbons twined around it (people mistake the ribbon for snakes); this is the same symbol used for medical profession and would explain Ami's wish to become a doctor. Name Pun: - Mizuno Ami - 'water' 'field' 'next' 'beauty' - mizu no ami - next beauty of water NOTE: ami (the kanji used in her actual name) is not a real word, but it's literal and only possible meaning is 'next beauty' - ami - net - mizu no ami - water net    Her first and last names are written in this order in Japanese - Mizuno Ami (last name, first name). mizu is water, ami is next/second beauty, and no is denoting possesion (the kanji that make up her name mean lit. water field next beauty). Therefore Mizuno Ami sounds like mizu no ami, which means next beauty of water. Mercury is another name for the god Hermes who was Aphrodite's twin (they have the same birthdate and it has been a popular notion that they are twins, brother and sister). Aphrodite was born from the sea foam, therefore, if Hermes is the twin to the beautiful Aphrodite, he would be the "next beauty of the water." Also, you could look at it from another point of view, Ami became a senshi after Usagi, so she was 'next' in that case as well.    Another alternate pun on this name could also be the word 'net', which, in japanese, sounds like her name, ami. The meaning of the way her name sounds would then be water net or net of the all-things-water (in aprox. meaning). This pun makes sense, being that most all her attacks are water based. Thus she controls all water attacks, until she encounters her water rival Michiru (Sailorneptune) who's name pun is quite similar in meaning to Sailormercury's. [ back ]
