* [[
* [[Complete Monster]] Debonair. {{spoiler|Not only she was born as the incarnation of Cephiro's collective bad feelings and acted as such, she almost mind rape Hikaru when she was at most vulnerable and tried to kill her own "daughter" Nova [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|when she had no more use for her]].}}
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Zagato wasn't a bad guy per se, but he ''still'' wanted to end the world for the sake of the one he loved and was ''very'' cruel to Alcyone, who greatly loved him
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: Or should we say, Latin Americans Love ''[[Completely Different Title|Guerreras Mágicas]]''. It's not without reason: it aired in between the 6th or 7th rerun of ''[[Saint Seiya|Caballeros del Zodiaco]]'', ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' hadn't hit yet, ''[[Ranma
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Innova doesn't really fit in with most of the cast's [[Vehicular Theme Naming]], until Toyota actually released a car called the "Innova."
** Not exactly: during the manga's release there was a Honda motorcycle called the [[wikipedia:Honda Wave series|Innova]] (actually it was the Honda Wave in Japan, but it was marketed in Europe as the Innova).
Line 16:
** Let's not forget Debonair {{spoiler|abandoning and then trying to kill the local [[Jerkass Woobie]], Nova, who can be considered as her daughter. And then killing Eagle ''and'' Alcyone.}}
* [[Nightmare Face]]: Vigor (one of Ascot's monsters that can take on a cuter, smaller form) gets a very creepy face when he starts turning back into a monster, with his eyes glowing, his head slowly tilting, and his fur all wild.
* [[Testosterone Brigade]]: Has arguably the biggest one out of all CLAMP shows besides [[Cardcaptor Sakura]]. One major factor is probably the mecha element combined with the shoujo/JRPG aesthetic helping to draw in tons of guys into it, and secondly, unlike some of their later manga, ''Rayearth'' doesn't get too fujo with it's romance and keeps it relatively, well, [[Pun|straight]].
* [[Toy Ship]]: Aska and Sanyun
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?]]: The original story is something like Emeraude calling three girls from another world to save Cephiro. Seems simple enough, right? Well, it's ''not.'' {{spoiler|The real reason the Knights were summoned was that only someone from another world can ''kill the Pillar.'' And they have to go through with it. It ''really '' [[Break the Cutie|tears Hikaru up]], and in the anime it [[Literal Split Personality|literally splits her into two parts]], [[The Eeyore|a girl about to cry]] and [[The Vamp|her evil half]].}}
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|Emeraude just wanted to be with her boyfriend/be allowed to be in love}}.
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Eagle has gone from trying to save his country to being willing to destroy Earth to save Cephiro. He's also Emeraude's brother instead of {{spoiler|Ferio}}. Hikaru has gone from a [[Genki Girl|Genki]] [[Plucky Girl]] from a kendo family to a particularly [[Break the Cutie|Broken Cutie]] in the gymnastics club.
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: {{spoiler|Emeraude pines for and throws herself at the feet of a dead Zagato, who still sits on his throne}}. Emeraude's castle is filled with the dead souls of Cephiro, who scream and lash at anything living. {{spoiler|Zagato sacrifices himself in order to save the land- yup, the suicide by sword (possibly [[Seppuku]]) is shown on screen. Also, Lantis sacrifices himself in a different way- but he dies anyway. Several other characters die- including a teenage one. At the end, Emeraude is left without the one she loves.}}. To say this OVA is nightmare fuel unleaded is an ''understatement''.
