The Moon is the only natural satellite of Earth and resides around 384,402 kilometers away.[1] It is the main setting for the The Day of Transcending Finality arc of the story.

Description

The Moon has around 38,000,000 square kilometers of surface area and is uninhabited.[2] On the Moon lie rocks with various inscriptions from the Previous Era.[3]

In the Previous Era, when the Final Herrscher appeared, humanity managed to trap a part of her on the Moon.[4][5] In August 1969 of the Current Era, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy discovered Honkai energy on the far side of the Moon.[6][7] After finding out about the amount of Honkai energy on the far side of the Moon, both sides agreed to suspend investigations about the Moon and instead tell the public that the far side was without any defining features besides being filled with bumps and holes.[8]

During EX Chapter, Will of Stigmata reveals to Theresa Apocalypse that the Moon is a key point in Project Stigma, which is why Theresa was pulled into a dream.[9] Later, in Chapter XXXII, Seele Vollerei wakes up on the Moon in New Atra alongside Sora and Lyle,[10] with the latter two having been brought to the Moon by Natasha Cioara.[11] It's then revealed by Durandal, who was also on the Moon, that the space surrounding it had been artificially over-stabilized.[12]

In Part 2 Chapter XIII, harmless time fractures identical to Difeng's corruption rifts began to appear on the Moon,[13] gradually reddening it in the process.[note 1][14]

    Theresa: Project Stigma?
    Will of Stigma: Exactly. In fact, it's set in motion, which is why you were captured by a dream in Hyperion near the moon, and ultimately came here.
    [...]
    Will of Stigma: Yes. The moon is a key point in Project Stigma. You approached the moon unwittingly, thus becoming one of its first sacrifices. However, due to Vishnu's trait...

    Sora: Because we're on the moon. Isn't this something that only happens in fairy tales?
    Seele: O-On the moon?
    Sora: Mhm. Although I've never left this building... I'm sure that we're on the moon, because you can see Earth in the sky.

    Seele: I'm sorry, I was just too shocked... Sora-chan, do you know how we came to the moon?
    [...]
    Sora: ...Sensei really is hiding something from us, right?
    Sora: After all, even our mode of travel was strange... Just by walking through an illusionary door, we came to a completely foreign place in the blink of an eye.
  12. Chapter XXXII, Matter of Urgency
    Durandal: Though I can bring anyone in freely on Earth... the surrounding space on the moon doesn't allow me to do so. Simply put, the space on the moon has been artificially over-stabilized.

    Einstein: However, the changes occurring on the moon force me to assume the worst.
    Theresa: You must've all seen the time fractures scattered across the lunar surface on your way here. Mei and Bronya were the first to investigate them and attempt repairs.
    Theresa: Our conclusion is that these time fractures are structurally identical to the corruption rifts that once appeared in Difeng.
    Theresa: While there's no danger for now, as long as we don't actively approach the time fractures, the time fractures will expand over time. There's no telling if anything strange might emerge from them once they reach a certain scale.

    Einstein: Given their mindset, in the next few years, they’re likely to spin the moon's gradual reddening and the ordinary lunar staff's returning to Earth in batches as a sign of "an impending apocalypse".
