Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Yasha from ''New Cutey Honey''.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Jewel Princess. She's a [[Psycho Lesbian]] who kidnaps beautiful women, strips them naked, and turns them into statues, effectively killing them, in order to preserve their beauty for eternity, and then [[Mummies At the Dinner Table|props them around her lair like furniture]]. And she takes sadistic delight in watching them scream in terror and desperation as they get converted to statues.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The 2004 [[The Movie|film]] had the "Sister Jill" anthem sung by a random... [[Non Sequitur Scene|evil jazz singer lady]] played by Japanese popstar Koda Kumi.
* [[Ear Worm]]: The theme song ''will'' get stuck in your head. And it's proven so popular that it's been sung in at least three languages and has been remixed for every installment.
* [[Les Yay]]: Oh, so much. Frequently combined with [[Foe Yay]].
Line 8:
* [[Periphery Demographic]]: Go Nagai says he was surprised when he found out that the series attracted so many female fans. Hence, the creation of ''Cutey Honey Flash''.
** ''Flash'' closes the circle, as many male fans love the show despite being intended for the shoujo demographic. The fact that none of Honey's sex appeal was dialed down certainly helps.
* [["Weird Al" Effect]]: How many people have even ''heard'' of ''[[wikipedia:Tarao Bannai|Tarao Bannai]]''? That was the source for Honey's "Sometimes I'm a..." speech, which is now more associated with ''Cutey Honey'' than anything else, at least in the West.
** The speech can also be heard in the first ''[[Cyborg 009]]'' movie, which must be a ''Tarao Bannai'' reference and not a ''Cutey Honey'' reference because that movie, from 1966, predates ''Cutey Honey''.
