So far there have been two times when Guts has fought while wearing the Berserker Armor on a night with a full moon: both times Guts was unable to resist the Beast, and Schierke was unable to enter his mind to free him because the moon made the Beast and the Armor too powerful. Getting the Berserker Armor exacerbated this problem, because it amplifies its wearers negative emotions and gives the Beast of Darkness a conduit to make possessing Guts easier. This is a problem for Guts because he has an Enemy Within, the Beast of Darkness, which is always trying to drive him Ax-Crazy. Witch apprentice Schierke explains that the night of a full moon is the time at which people's minds are most susceptible to madness.When it's a full moon is when its more powerful. Akame ga Kill!: Enshin's Shamshir is a curved sword that can create aerial blades which can grow stronger depending on the lunar cycle.The Power of the Sun is often used as a Foil to moon-based power, especially if there are Cosmic Motifs featured in the work.

The words "lunacy," "lunatic," and "loony" are derived from "Luna" because of the folk belief in the Moon as a cause of periodic insanity. From that, the Moon is usually a feminine symbol (this may be because both have monthly cycles). The duality of the Sun and Moon is also seen as mirroring the duality of men and women. A full Moon is associated with lycanthropy as the most common way to trigger the transformation (a trope that is somewhat Newer Than They Think), and lunar symbology is often strongly associated with werewolves even beyond the transformation. More mundane things are stealth on the night of a new Moon, or illumination on the night of a full Moon. In general, the Moon is often a catalyst in magical things. It may be tied to illusions, metamorphoses and inconstancy, mirroring the Moon's constantly cycling phases. The full Moon might bring out the monster in someone, or a new Moon may bring the human out of a monster. Makes women crazy, drives the lunatics wild, or maybe is the external power source for some supernatural powers. Saïx, before unleashing his true nature, Kingdom Hearts II
