Sailor Mars's attack as a miko. since Rei learned the chant as a miko and not as a Sailor Senshi, she could also use it while untransformed. She first used it on Usagi in episode 10 (This episode) when she felt an evil spirit. "Akuryo Taisan" is a Japanese phrase used to exorcise demons, which translates into "Evil Spirit, Begone." Rei would yell, "Akuryo Taisan," and place an ofuda on the enemy. Sometimes she would also chant the names of the kuji — "Rin, Pyou, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!" (臨、兵、闘、者、皆、陣、列、在、前！; when combined into a sentence, it literally means "all warriors have been lined up in formation here") — before performing the attack. Usually it was used to immobilize an enemy, giving the Senshi time to attack, but could also be used to purify people of an evil influence. Enjoy! :)
