Carddass Half Sailor Moon was a Japanese trading card series released by Bandai in 1993, part of the long-running Carddass line that brought vending-machine style collectibles to fans across Japan. The set drew on the enormous popularity of Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon, which had by then become one of the defining anime and manga franchises of the early nineties. Its cards captured the era's enthusiasm for character collecting, and they are remembered today as an early, affectionate record of how fans engaged with the series during its first wave of success. Card 45 features Usagi Tsukino, the series' heroine, rendered in the bright, cheerful style that defined the franchise's merchandise. Collectors seek her card as a window into the character at the heart of the story, and because Usagi is so central to the Sailor Moon legacy, her cards from this set are among the most personal pieces a fan can hold from the original era.
