Line 35:
* [[Dawn of an Era]]: What the events of the story's end suggest is about to occur.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Setsuna has her moments making the odd comment to Ranma.
* [[Death From Above]]: The ''Brimful of Asha'' provides this in the last chapter: first, with a threat to nuke [[Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki|the Masaki household]], and later by blowing Jusenkyo to hell to avert {{spoiler|an [[
* [[Dress-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Deliberately invoked during the Silver Millennium: a flashback shows the genesis of the mini-skirted sailor uniforms for the Senshi as the replacements for admittedly sinister-looking bodysuits; the change is part politics and part PR, intended to deny Serenity's political opposition the ability to cast the Senshi as her personal jackbooted thugs while making them more appealing to the general population. (That the sailor suits were more advanced with more power and better defenses than their predecessors was just gravy.)
* [[
* [[The End of the World as We Know It]]: We see several instances of planetary-scale destruction, not to mention the fall of the Silver Millennium itself. Also, {{spoiler|the Beryl AI almost succeeds in vaporizing Earth when they try to shut it down.}}
* [[Emergency Transformation]]: {{spoiler|The Amazon Elder Nair sacrifices herself with a dark artifact to return in a more powerful demonic form when Ranma/Serenity proves too much for her to defeat as a human.}}
Line 64:
* [[Past Life Memories]]: A major part of Ranma's character development in this story—not just unlocking Serenity's memories, but what it takes before he begins to accept that he and Serenity are the same person.
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Serenity, during the Silver Millennium. Ranma/Serenity in the present day. And implied of Usagi.
* [[Planet Killer]]: Several varieties show up:
** The xenophobic civilization The Emblem glassed two planets that were part of the Silver Millennium civilization with nuclear saturation bombing. While the planets themselves were not physically destroyed, they were rendered completely dead, sterile hunks of radioactive rock. [[Memento MacGuffin|A piece of slag]] from one of these planets, Meridian, was slowly transformed into the Ginzuishou by Queen Serenity as a tribute to the lost people of that world and as a symbol of her intention to restore its ecosphere somehow, some day.
** Queen Serenity retaliates for the destruction of Meridian and Cambriea by bringing a fleet to The Emblem's capitol planet/home world and launching six Z90 Point Singularity torpedoes at it -- [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|when ''four'' would have been sufficient to destroy it]]. The planet is torn apart by and vanishes into the eager maws of six miniature black holes.
** The Z90s, which are tactical fleet-based weapons, were not the only planet killers in the Silver Millennium arsenal. In a different flashback, as a distraught Serenity threatens to destroy multiple planets in retaliation for the murder of her consort, we learn they had several such weapons, described as "a cocktail of total annihilation", including the XA-505 "Nova Bomb", designed for system-to-system bombardment.
** In yet another flashback, we learn that Sailor Saturn vaporized a planet called Phaelon during Beryl's assault on the Silver Millennium.
** At the climax of the story, {{spoiler|the Beryl A.I.}} triggers its [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]], which is designed to take not only itself out but the entire Earth with it.
* [[Power-Up]]: After a quick visit to an arsenal on the Moon, the Senshi, Tuxedo Mask, and Ryouga all sport some serious extra hardware.
** Ranma goes through most of the fight with Elder Nair and her Beryl-empowered Amazon fighters entirely on her current life's martial arts prowess, but when things get ''serious'' she finally reaches for (and receives) Serenity's magic.
Line 91 ⟶ 97:
** Also what Ranma puts the Senshi through once he realizes they have given him authority over themselves.
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: Ranma finally allows himself to go through one during the battle with the Amazon hit squad.
* [[Volleying Insults]]: Rei and Minako trade friendly insults when Minako complains that a mid-battle uniform upgrade doesn't let her show off as much leg as her original seifuku did.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: In a moment that's far more Ranma than Serenity, Ranma gives Usagi a thorough reaming-out for committing suicide during the fall of the Moon Kingdom (and using Venus's sword to do it). She then widens the lecture to all the other Senshi:
{{quote|"That goes for all of you. I don't care if you've lost everything. Your friends. Your fiancée. Whatever. You ''will'' grind the bad guy into the dust first, ''then'' question your own goddamn existence later, do I make myself ''crystal clear?''" Wide eyes and nods greeted her words, and her voice lowered to a threatening growl. "And if I happen to find you ''don't'' kick their butts before you slit your own wrists, you can be ''damn'' certain I'll hunt you down in the afterlife and kick your ass just as surely as I sent you forward to the here and now." ... Those hard blue eyes then turned back on Moon. "And ''you'' are the heir to a goddamn galactic empire. One day you'll have ''billions'' relying on you for guidance. The innocent will turn to you for protection. Of everybody in this room, you don't have the ''luxury'' of suicide."}}
