''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6362397/1/Beautiful_Destroyer_Sailor_Moon BeautfiulBeautiful Destroyer Sailor Moon]'' is a ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' [[Deconstruction Fic]] written by The Sage of Toads. It is a parallel fanfic to The Sage of Toads' [[Ranma ½]] fic, ''[[The Key to a Successful Interview|The Key To A Successful Interview Is A Good First Impression!]]'', focusing on the events in Juuban as Usagi Tsukino and her friends fight evil by moonlight, only in a more [[Crazy Awesome]] manner that results in property damage.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: When Naru picks a name for her disguise in chapter 4, she uses the name Shino, which happens to be the first name of her seiyuu.
* [[Affably Evil]]: Queen Beryl. The first time we see her, she's messing with a tablet PC dressed like it's Casual Friday at the office, talking about running the Dark Kingdom like it's a business conglomerate. She's not even very disagreeable about how Jadeite's operation in Japan has been royally screwed over so much. Immediately after her meeting with Jadeite she remembers she hasn't had sex in forever, then decides to go out for the night and get laid after prodding her Youma court for a bit of encouragement.
Line 31 ⟶ 29:
* [[Desperately Looking for a Purpose In Life]]: Usagi and Naru's discussion in the first chapter, as they try to find an explanation why Usagi acts out so much.
* [[Destructive Savior]]: Sailor Moon's first appearance wrecks the OSA-P Jewelry store.
** And when she stops Jadeite's Midnight Zero plan, the entire radio station is destroyed. Though, she DID try to learn her limits to prevent this.
** When she ruins Jadeite's gym plot, she tosses an I-beam into the gym, wrecking it to kingdom come! This is becoming a common theme.
** Continued in chapter 7:
Line 44 ⟶ 42:
** Sailor Pluto briefly appears in Chapter 7, destroying a youma robot to stop its pilot from screwing with Time.
** In Chapter 5, a short haired woman watches the report on Sailor Moon. In chapter 11, it is revealed she has a roommate with green wavy hair who also plays the violin. Most likely the unnamed duo is Haruka and Michiru.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: The Youma in chapter 7 teleports the innocent bystanders away, as not to anger the Senshi.
* [[Faking the Dead]]: The crows faked being killed by Jadeite in order to to have Rei awaken her powers through rage.
** In chapter 10, {{spoiler|Jadeite fakes being grievously injured by the senshi, and Murid fakes her own death - as well as the deaths of Thetis and Jadeite's remaining Youma - to trick the Dark Kingdom.}}
Line 63 ⟶ 61:
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: {{spoiler|What happens to Makoto on her last day as Mifune. She is [[Et Tu, Brute?|betrayed by her friend Yukio]], the latter forced to by Balalaika. [[Shameful Strip|She is then partially stripped of her clothes, and then forced to personally remove her undergarments.]] Her [[The Unmasking|identity is exposed]] to Yukio, who befriended Makoto at school but didn't know Makoto and Mifune were the same. And then she gets blackmailed to stop her attacks or she will be exposed. Then she gets arrested for incident exposure after failing to find replacement clothes going home, causing her to be kicked out of an expensive school (although it meant she wouldn't be seeing Yukio again, no big loss), six months in juvie, probation until she is twenty, and a pervert for a probation officer.}}
* [[I Fight for the Strongest Side]]: {{spoiler|Jadeite's remaining youma want to defect only because they don't want to be killed by the Sailor Senshi.}}
* [[I Need to Go Iron My Dog]]: In Chapter 10, {{spoiler|Just about they were to enter a room for some privacy, both Mamoru and his would be lovers Ami and Rei find themselves in need of an excuse to be away from each other in order to participate in the battle. Mamoru finds one in asking if anyone had condoms. Ami quickly says no, and asks Mamoru to get some. Mamoru quickly dashs off while Ami and Rei enter their room to transforms. After the battle, Mamoru realizes he forgot the condoms, but it turns out Ami had some anyway.}}
* [[In the Name of the Moon]]: Well, DUH.
** Naru's attempt is [[Talk to the Fist|interrupted]].
* [[Large Ham Radio]]: "The Depths of Strange," a show on the same station as Midnight Zero, is this.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Chapter 9. {{spoiler|Makoto's backstory is not funny one bit. But considering it involves [[Black Lagoon|Yukio Washimine and Balalaika]], it cannot be played for laughs.}}
{{quote|{{spoiler|[[I Do Not Own|Disclaimer]]: This chapter contains thirty percent less hilarity and a hundred percent more Black Lagoon.}}}}
Line 80 ⟶ 78:
* [[One of Us]]: In the same fashion as Ranma and Akane in TKTASI. To wit -
** Ami Mizuno is an [[Otaku]]. She was seen attending the [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Eva]] marathon in ''TKTASI''. In fact, [[Word of God]] states that this cameo was what began the discussion that led to this fic being created.
** Mamoru Chiba bought figures of [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha and Fate]].
** As for Usagi herself, she's a fan of the 30 year old [[Kamen Rider|Kamen Raider]] [[Toku]] series, and takes themes of the series by heart when fighting as Sailor Moon.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Averted in Chapter 4; Usagi more than easily sees through Jadeite's disguise at the gym. This becomes a [[Running Gag]] as of chapter 5, as he never changes up his disguise much. He does wise up in Chapter 8 taking on the idenity of {{spoiler|Yuuichirou Kumada}}. Then he goes back to a paper thin disguise for Chapter 10, knowing that Sailor Moon will see through it. {{spoiler|She does, and Usagi realizes that Jadeite wants to talk to her.}}
Line 100 ⟶ 98:
** The band Natalie Adams and Kim Pine are in is called [[Gunstar Heroes|Heroes of Gunstar]].
** At Chapter 13's beginning, Rei, Ami, and Usagi are dressed up as [[Touhou|Reimu Hakurei, Cirno, and Yukari Yakumo, respectively.]]
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: A minor example. In the first chapter, one of the kids picking on Luna takes a moment to point out that, no, the cat is not wearing a Band-Aid. "Band-Aid" is an American brand name, and the actual name of the item is an adhesive bandage. He then picks up a rock to throw at the Mau, saying "Fuck those mouth-breathing Americans."
* [[Spared by the Adaptation]]: {{spoiler|Not a Sailor Moon character, but potentially for a pair of [[Black Lagoon]] characters. [[Mafia Princess|Yukio]] and her loyal bodyguard can now leave the Yakuza life after Sailor Jupiter busts the Washimine clan.}}
* [[Stupid Evil]]: Youma Derella in chapter 5, who decided to have some fun [[For the Evulz|wrecking the career of the girl she was impersonating.]] She went totally overboard in doing so, tipping of Usagi and Naru of evil happenings.
Line 112 ⟶ 110:
** Lampshaded AGAIN, by Rei, in chapter 10 - when Luna manages to steer an entire CRUISE SHIP.
* [[Time Stands Still]]: Ramua's ability in chapter 7. Surprisingly, no Za Warudo gag is done, though there's plenty of Jojo Abridged shoutouts.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Usagi, oh so much. But basically everyone. The Senshi are now mid to high level superhumans that can throw around trains and remain unharmed from being dipped in molten concrete for over a minute. Mamoru can fly, and has a sword cane, and his friends are apparantly spies with military training. And Naru gets to keep the disguise pen which gives her borderline Cutey Honey level transformations, topping off with turning a fighter jet into a mecha.
* [[True Companions]]: This could be applied to the relationship Jadeite and his youma (and Thetis) have with each other.
* [[Uranus Is Showing]]: In chapter 6, while Usagi, Ami, Luna, and Naru are talking about the planet theme of the Senshi, Naru can't resist this gag.
* [[Villains Act, Heroes React]]: Discussed at the end of chapter 6, when Usagi says that the heroes need to be more proactive than reactive against the villains.
** Also referred to at the start of chapter 12.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: The youma Ramua experiences this in Chapter 7 in a direct [[Shout-Out]] to the finale of ''[[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure Abridged]]''.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Chapter 9. {{spoiler|Jadeite's Youma see the futility of fighting the Senshi, and plan to leave the Dark Kingdom to join the Senshi instead. Jadeite agrees to join them in their reversal of loyalties.}}
** Chapter 11. That is all.
