MinTone Arrow

Mint's Weapon appearing during her attack sequence.

The Mintone Arrow (ミントーンアロー, Mintōn Arō) is Mew Mint's weapon in the anime and manga Tokyo Mew Mew. Her attack, Ribbon Mint Echo, is similar to an angel's bow and arrow, as her Red Data Animal, the Blue Lorikeet, is connected to an angel, and her talent of ballet, which probably produced her costume she wears in her Mew Mew Form.

Appearance[]

Mint Arrow - Manga

Mint's Weapon in the 1st manga series.

When not being used to attack, the MinTone Arrow is condensed, looking similar to a lyre (a type of harp) when upside down. There are two blue wings on the top with the heart pointing out. On the wings is a bigger heart with Ichigo's Mew Mark in the middle. When used to attack, the weapon expands into a long, slender bow that Mew Mint uses to perform her attack.

In the Manga, the weapon is more simple, with two bird wings with a heart pointing out in the middle. In à la Mode, the weapon gets changed to the anime version's design.

Name Changes (Manga)[]

Due to the pun in Mew Mint's weapon name, all 3 English manga translations had their own take on how they thought the name should be translated. However, this caused mistranslations with TokyoPop's and Chuang Yi's translations while the Kodansha version translated it's original intention without the pun. In Tokyo Mew Mew 2020 Re-Turn the MinTone Arrow was given a 2nd attack.

Name Changes (Anime)[]

Due to the confusion in the original pun, most dubs decided to give the simple name "Mint Arrow" for her weapon. Most dubs either keep this name in English, translate it or use the 4Kids English dubbed name. However, this also means that quite a few dubs don't give Mew Mint/Corina an attack name. Also, there are a few dubs that totally change both her weapon and attack name.

Trivia[]

  • The first word of the weapon name in the Japanese version was a pun, combining the words Mint and Tone together.
  • In order to keep the original intent without the pun, the Kodansha English translation of the manga calls it "Mint Tone Arrow."
