"Minako's Transformation Pen" is a pen that was used by Minako Aino. It is her first transformation item in Codename: Sailor V, and crystal. It also appears in the first arc of the Sailor Moon manga.
Codename: Sailor V[]
In Codename: Sailor V, it was given to her by Artemis in the first act in order to transform into Sailor V. The crescent moon on the cap of the pen is a speaker which Minako would use to communicate with Boss. The decoration on top of the cap could extend into an antenna. The pen also functions as a normal pen for writing and could only write the truth. This is a power Minako would take advantage of to pass tests and aid in her academics; Artemis did not approve.
Manga and Crystal[]
Minako uses the pen in order to transform into Sailor Venus, due to her awakening in the last act of Codename: Sailor V. It was also shown to have a connection with the Sailor V game at the Game Center Crown, where it reacted if someone was playing the game well.
The pen was destroyed when the Inner Senshi sacrificed their lives to attack Queen Metalia in order to reawaken Usagi. It was replaced by her Star Power Stick which was not unique.
