Line 15:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Amazon Admirer]]: [[Discussed Trope|Discussed]] regarding Minako. She has insecurities about the fact that she's strong for her age, athletic, and brash, and that means no guy will ever like her for who she is. Artemis isn't that sympathetic, which makes it sweeter in the ''Sailor Moon'' anime that he gives her a bouquet and calls her a "pretty lady" to cheer her up on finding out one of her crushes has a girlfriend. Kaito Ace, a mysterious masked man {{spoiler|revealed to be the [[Big Bad]] Danburite}}, is infatuated with Sailor V precisely because of her athleticism and heroic feats.
* [[A Plague on Both Your Houses]]: Danburite's last words.▼
* [[Art Imitates Life]]: Marie Buraidaru, author of ''Aurora Wedding'', based the main character, Linda Evangeligeli, off herself. She also based Linda's love interest, Coattail Mask, off her editor, Shinro Baishaku, because she had a crush on him. Marie finally ends the series with Linda's wedding just as she marries Shinro in real life.
* [[Ascended Fangirl]]: Superintendent Sakurada is a closet V fan and would do anything to get her to join the police force. {{spoiler|The very end of the manga is basically her succeeding in this goal at last.}}
Line 24:
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Maiku Otonaru, one-quarter Russian.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Artemis, as per usual. As well as Wakagi and his older brother, because of V.
* [[Collectible Cloney Babies]]: Artemis realizes that Minako won't pay attention to training, unless it's in video game form and she receives items. Minako also likes collecting magical items, and Artemis decides to exploit this obsession. So he reprograms some of the arcade games at the Crown Game Arcade to train her how to fight as Sailor V and reward her progress with magical tokens.
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Inverted and played straight to a literal degree. Petite Pandora and Chuu-Chuu both want to avenge their dead older siblings, and Wan-Wan wants to avenge the death of his little sister Nyan-Nyan.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Artemis, at least when he's not in the midst of freaking out over something.
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
* [[Mysterious Protector]]: Phantom Ace, who was created well after [[Sailor Moon|Tuxedo Mask]] seemingly to fill that role for Sailor V. It turns out that Naoko Takeguchi was playing off audience expectations, as Phantom Ace turns out to ''actually'' be the [[Big Bad]], Danburite.
* [[Nerd Glasses]]: Amano and mangaka Marie Buraidaru.
▲* [[A Plague on Both Your Houses]]: Danburite's last words.
* [[Prequel]]: Actually, its first few chapters predate ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' but most of it was completed during or after ''
* [[Punny Name]]: Sound it out: C'est la vie...
* [[Reassigned to Antarctica]]: Superintendant Sakurada manages to reassign Inspector Wakagi to Siberia at one point. Understandably, he lampshades why the heck the Japanese police force has a Siberian outpost in the first place.
* [[The Runaway]]: In Chapter 11, Artemis feels unappreciated and tries this tactic with Minako, deciding to stay away from her until she comes looking for him.
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: In ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' canon, the [[Big Bad]] for this storyline is a mere underling of the first manga arc's [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] (specifically under Kunzite), though he does get to control a whole subgroup within the Dark Kingdom
* [[Story Within a Story]]: Minako's a fan of a manga called ''Aurora Wedding'', which is essentially a parody of ''Sailor Moon''. It ends at 110 volumes, running since the author was in her second year of middle school.
* [[Taught by Television]]: Well, by video games, Minako learns Artemis was the name of a ancient Greek goddess from a game. This gives Artemis the idea to have the Sailor V game made to train her.
* [[Temporary Bulk Change]]: One of the more elaborate Dark Agency schemes involved DeBrine selling highly fattening (and delicious) chocolates cheap around Valentine's Day. The girls eat them, they get fat, then give them to the boys, who also get fat. DeBrine then creates a weight loss clinic which endorses a miracle treatment, while she's really just sucking the energy of her clients and scamming them out of their money. Meanwhile, "fat" becomes the new in-look for the city even though everyone's trying to lose weight. DeBrine espouses that "this is the age of glamour girls". Despite failing, this was one of the more successful Dark Agency schemes because of how elaborate it was, lasting longer than most of the others.
* [[
* [[Tragic Villain]]: Danburite.
* [[Unlucky Everydude]]: Or Dudette in this case. It should be noted that Wakagi's brother plays this straight. He just can't catch a break directly or indirectly because of V.
Line 70 ⟶ 72:
* [["V" Sign]]: See the picture above, Sailor V uses it as her magical girl hand gesture
* [[You No Take Candle]]: Lin-Lin speaks like a stereotypical Chinese person.
