** In an early episode, Shingo accidentally breaks his best friend Mika's handmade prizewinning doll at school. He clams up rather than apologizing, and their classmates tell Usagi about this. Usagi confronts Shingo, as he's crumpling up apology notes, and tells him to go to Mika's house and apologize. Shingo tries, but Nephrite beat him to the punch and compelled Mika to make dolls while not talking to anyone, rejecting the apology. When Shingo asks Usagi for advice, she suggests a present would do the trick. He makes a clay Sailor Moon doll, and brings it to Mika at her next doll exhibition. It's only then he and Usagi realize a youma had possessed Mika, and drains her. The youma knocks Shingo out and smashes the clay doll. Mika revives, sees the clay shards as well as Shingo's apologetic look, and finally forgives him.

** In a [[Wham! Episode]] of R, Chibiusa gets the Senshi captured by Rubeus after stealing Usagi's Silver Crystal and attempting to return to the future. Rubeus tells Sailor Moon that he'll free the Senshi if she hands over "the rabbit" aka Chibiusa. Chibiusa goes [[My God, What Have I Done?]] about her stupidity and is sincerely apologetic, but Usagi isn't hearing it, threatening to smack her repeatedly for betraying her and her friends. Mamoru has to stop Usagi, who eventually decides to meet Rubeus alone rather than sacrifice a child on seeing how scared Chibiusa is. Chibiusa ends up coming anyway, inverting the trope as Usagi screams at her to run, that it isn't her fight, and Chibiusa insists that it is.
** In the S finale, Sailor Uranus and Neptune call out Usagi for giving the Holy Grail to Mistress 9 in an attempt to help Hotaru fight from the inside and regain control of her body. It worked, but Mistress 9 and Pharaoh 90 nearly brought about the Silence with the Grail. Usagi apologizes as her friends defend her from the Outer Senshi, saying she doesn't want them to fight. Uranus and Neptune assert that if she fights them, without her friends, they'll consider her apology. This ended up being a [[Secret Test of Character]]; when Usagi is pinned and faces a fatal attack, her Messiah powers awaken and knock down Uranus and Neptune. They then apologize to her for the insubordination to the real Messiah, something she accepts.
