{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Robu-san include:}}
* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: The "[[True Companions]]" version; Robu-san calls Tsukino Usagi "Bunny-chan" and Artemis "Artie". Avoided with Makoto, whowhom he calls "my dearest".
* [[First-Name Basis]]: With most of the Senshi, and with Ami's mother... but not with Tuxedo Kamen.
* [[First Person Perspective]]: Strictly enforced, with Robu-san as the narrator. If he isn't present for an event, the event isn't shown in the story. Even if it's an important canon scene.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: His early blind spot about his relationship with Makoto notwithstanding. Early in the first chapter, he worries that "Stupid genre conventions" is becoming his [[Catch Phrase]]. {{spoiler|By the end of the second chapter, it has.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Ghost Memory]]}}: {{spoiler|One of Robu-san's powers, which requires the cooperation of the person donating the memories, is to copy the other person's memories... and give them back later.}}
* [[Just Woke Up That Way]]: The [[Ontological Mystery]] subtype. Robu-san wakes up teen-aged, at the start of the story.
* [[Name's the Same]]: While "Robu-san" Donaldson shares a name, a writer, and a few (but not all) distinguishing characteristics with Rob Donaldson in ''[[My Apartment Manager is not an Isekai Character]]'' and Rob Donaldson in ''[[Fenspace]]'', theynone areof notthem are the same character.
* [[New Transfer Student]]: How Robu-san enters the story.
* [[Nom-de-guerre]]: "Oni" was given to him accidentally by Usagi; it's the first thing that she called him (because of his height), he used it in an [[I Know You Know I Know]] situation, and it stuck.
* [[Official Couple]]: With Kino Makoto, as in her writeup. The two are on a [[First-Name Basis|"first name without honorifics"]] basis by the end of the first chapter, and engaged by the end of the third chapter.
* [[The One Guy]]: For part of the first chapter, when (as in canon) Tuxedo Kamen was kidnapped.
* [[New Transfer Student]]: How Robu-san enters the story.
* [[Sarcastic Clapping]]: One of Robu-san's favourite ways to draw attention to himself and away from the Sailor Senshi. The trope being unknown in Japan in the early 1990s, the clapping serves less as a psychological attack and more as a distraction.
* [[Smart People Play Chess]]: Robu-san cheats here by using Ami's skills... but he still can't win against her, or against {{spoiler|Deici}} when she takes an interest in the game, because he lacks the patience to be a good player.
* [[Spontaneous Weapon Creation]]: Robu-san can and often does form his forecefields into weapons, usually staffs, swords, or hammers.
* [[Super Empowering]]: In his [[backstory]].
* [[Taking the Bullet|Taking the Magical Attack]]: Twice as of the fourthfifth chapter — once impulsively and once on purpose.
* [[Trapped in Another World]]: He's [[the Protagonist]] in an Isekai story; this trope's pretty much a given.
* [[True Companions]]: Thanks to being sent to another dimension for the third chapter of ''Isekai by Moonlight'' and returning together, Robu-san is almost as close to Ami, Ryou, Kasandara, Meia, Sakura, and Ichiro as he is to Makoto.
* [[Will Not Tell a Lie]]: Not to Makoto, Ami, or (with one early exception before he made the decision) Usagi.
 
=== Sato Kichirou ===
Line 87 ⟶ 90:
She was born and raised in [[wikipedia:Wakkanai|Wakkanai]], Hokkaido, the third of three children. Her father and both of her brothers are deep-sea fishermen. Ichigo and her mother moved to Tokyo so that she could get a better education than what was available in Wakkanai; Ichigo wants to become a marine biologist and study her home town's harbour seals. She loves the biological sciences, and absolutely hates Japanese History to the point that she needs to take supplementary lessons in that class.
 
One reason that she hates Japanese History class is because it teaches her some things that her family tell her aren't true. Ichigo knows more about the Ainu than most college students... because she is Ainu herself. ThisFor isnthe longest time, this wasn't something that she tellstold very many people; when pressed, she sayssaid she has Ainu ancestry without saying that it's on both sides of her family. She finally decided to announce her ancestry when she was transferred into Class 1 alongside Makoto for their third year of junior high. Ichigo has the Ainu depressed nose root and projecting cheekbones.
 
She knows "a smattering" of Russian, which she admits to speaking with a thick Japanese accent, from the occasional trip to Korsakov. She loves downhill skiing, occasionally joining Rei Hino on the slopes.
 
She often speaks without thinking first, which leads to the occasional awkward moment.

{{quote|"With all due respect, ma'am," Sakura said, "that's bullshit and you know it."|Chapter S}}
Makoto's Unison Device. Playing against [[Cherry Blossom Girl|type]], she's a down-and-dirty fighter and definitely not a proper lady. She uses a katana that is scaled to her size, and gives Makoto the ability to use and channel Senshi attacks through a blade when in Unison. Sakura is [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|the tomboy to Meia's girly-girl]]. She considers Meia and Ichiro to be siblings, and is friends with the other Companions.
 
Line 176 ⟶ 180:
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Ichiro include:}}
* [[Cultured Badass]]: Enough so that he's able to have conversations with Robu-san on multiple topics, including history.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Fighting with a pair of long swords, scaled to his size, is his signature fighting style.

Also played straight in that the Shario-chan shown in the fourth and later chapters is the second Device with Shario's memories.
* [[I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder]]: "I'm a device meister, not a carpenter."
* [[Purely Aesthetic Glasses]]: As a Unison Device, she has perfect vision, but she remembers being a flesh-and-blood person who felt naked without them... which means she prefers to be a [[Meganekko]].
* [[Wrench Wench]]: The rare subtype that handles pure electronic devices – namely, the other Midchildan Devices, the mundane computers that her human friends brought back from the Lyrical reality's Earth, Artemis' computers and other systems from the Silver Millennium, and the Mercury Computer.

He's named for [[w:Hattori Hanzō|Hattori Hanzō]], with all that that implies, although his "demonic" traits manifest as him being such a [[Jerkass]] thqatthat Makoto ends up challenging him to a duel. He is good with a sword for somebody his age who hasn't had military-style training. Matsudaira ends up in Robu-san and Ryou's group during the [[Class Trip]], which Robu-san and Ryou admit after the fact was a mistake.

* [[Jerkass]]: To the point that he insults almost every girl in his group during the [[Class Trip]]... including Makoto.

Line 390 ⟶ 400:
''Isekai by Moonlight'' is using Mizuno-sensei's given name from ''[[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon]]''. No longer a one-scene guest character with no lines, she spends a lot of time on-call at the hospital in order to pay for her daughter's juku, but unlike in canon she isn't completely absent from Ami's life.
 
Early in the second chapter, she decides to become an unofficial parent figure to both Makoto and Robu-san, neither of whom have living parents in the story. Later in the second chapter, she was in the audience for the ''Snow White'' play that was staged in episode 56 of canon, and demanded an explanation as to why her daughter claimed to be a [[transforming heroine]] when Ami arrived home that evening. As a result, she's aware that Ami, Makoto, and Robu-san are Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter, and Oni, respectively. A later slip of the tongue lets her in on Sailor Moon's identity as well, which she offers to keep secret from the Tsukino family. Finally, she's part of the group who learns the identities of ''all'' of the Sailor Team (excepting the Senshi of the Outer Planets) at the beginning of chapter 4.

Line 398 ⟶ 408:
* [[I Want Grandkids]]: Turned [[Up to Eleven]] in that she wants to ensure the continuation of the Mizuno line. In the fourth chapter, she offers Ryou the status of [[wikipedia:mukoyōshi|mukoyōshi]] in the Mizuno family on his 20th birthday (not taking into account his two years in another dimension) to ensure Ami has a husband who takes her family name. Saeko adopts Minako later in the same chapter, after Minako had been disowned by her mother for being a Senshi.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: For Makoto and Robu-san, once she learns that they have no living parents and are close friends with her daughter. She's just as much an Open-Minded Parental Substitute as she is an Open-Minded Parent.
* [[Secret Keeper]]: For Usagi, Ami, Makoto, and Robu-san by the end of the second chapter, and for all of the then-known Sailor Senshi at the beginning of the fourth chapter.

Robu-san trusts her with all of his secrets, including the ones that hurt, and in return she trusts him with all of her secrets, including the ones that hurt. And that trust has turned into love. She knows that Robu-san will never willingly lie to her, although he's reserved the right to remain silent or to give a misleading answer. By the end of the first chapter of ''Isekai by Moonlight'', Makoto and Robu-san have kissed, and are the story's [[Official Couple]]. In the third chapter, she proposes marriage to Robu-san, becoming his fiancée.
She and Robu-san developed a "Jupiter [[A Certain Scientific Railgun|Railgun]]" attack during the first chapter of ''Isekai by Moonlight'', and she unlocked the canon manga attack "Jupiter Coconut Cyclone" during the story's second chapter.
 
She's a bit jealous of anyone else who Robu-san might notice as a romantic interest. But only a bit. She's willing to transform to and from Sailor Jupiter in his presence (but not any other man's presence), giving him the occasional "[[:Category:Fan Service|eyefull]]". She wasn't happy that they waited until she was 16 before taking their relationship to the next level, but understood why that hashad to be.
Extrapolating from canon, the plane crash that killed Makoto's parents has been established in-story as the [[wikipedia:Japan Air Lines Flight 123|JAL123 crash]], which in the late 1980s and early 1990s in Japan was what was understood to be the case when anyone mentioned a plane crash without saying which one. Considering her canon nervousness when she hears aircraft, and her near-compulsion to keep things clean, this story's Makoto has been established in-story as having been aboard the 747 with her parents, and is one of a small number of people who survived the crash in that reality who died in real life. And she hates the minor notability that this brings, which is why people rarely talk about it.

By the end of her intensive training during the "sent to another dimension" story arc, Makoto has unlocked ''all'' of her canon attacks from the original anime, the manga, ''Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon'', and ''Crystal'', and can use any of them without [[Calling Your Attacks|standing, posing, and calling the attack]] (although at reduced power and accuracy). She's also developed an "electro-quarterstaff" that she can use as a polearm. Makoto, Ami, Ryou, and Robu-san learned the ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'' style of telepathy when they were "sent to another dimension". Makoto is also strong enough when transformed to Sailor Jupiter to be able to use a Unison Device without taking damage; see Sakura's entry in the original characters section for more about this. Makoto can fly while in Unison with Sakura. Since some of Sakura's powers depend on Makoto using a sword, she's also been given many months of TSAB swordswoman training and owns a nonmagical ō-wakizashi that she's named Donguri-no-ken (literally "acorn sword").

Line 503 ⟶ 512:
Her canon very-mild [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]] tendencies have been played up slightly; she honestly doesn't care whether Ryou or Robu-san do or don't see her naked, which saves a bit of time when she needs to transform to or from Sailor Mercury in their presence. This is explained in-universe by her having the same attitude toward skin that most doctors and medical students develop.
 
By the end of her intensive training during the third chapter, Ami has unlocked ''all'' of her canon attacks from the original anime, the manga, ''Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon'', and ''Crystal'', and can use any of them without [[Calling Your Attacks|standing, posing, and calling the attack]] (although at reduced power and accuracy).

Line 541 ⟶ 550:
In the fourth chapter, Minako was the first of the Senshi who hadn't been sent to another dimension to learn ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'' style telepathy and Ami's instant-transformation technique. This was after she was disowned by her mother for being a Senshi and before she moved in with Makoto. When Ami's mother discovered she had been disowned, she quickly arranged with Minako's father to adopt Minako.
 
As of the end of the fourthfifth chapter, Minako is usually still the serious mature girl from the first season of ''Sailor Moon'', not the malapropism-spouting goofball that she becomes starting in episode 78 of canon; being disowned by her mother put a damper on her sense of humour. She's also developed a non-canon close-in energy attack, "Crescent [[Gundam|Beam Saber]]".
 
She's transferred to class 1 during the big class shake-up in the third year, when she starts going by "Mizuno Minako" on a regular basis.
