Line 16:
* [[Big Fancy House]]: The Tsukino home -- well, by comparison to some of the nearby homes, at least. It seems somewhat larger and actually has a tiny yard on all sides, surrounded by a wall; it even has a garage, suggesting ownership of an auto in a city where such is uncommon.
* [[Brainwashing]]: Unlike the original, where Ami's cram school was a youma front to gather life energy, here it's a setup to brainwash its students into locating the Ginzuishou for the Dark Kingdom. Using Ami's intelligence to take over Tokyo ... [[Step Three: Profit|somehow]] ... is just a bonus.
* [[Bus Full of Innocents]]: The "Demon 6:00 PM Bus" in episode 3 makes off with one of these every so often.
* [[Extraverted Nerd]]: Umino.
* [[Finish Him!|Finish Her!]]: What Tuxedo Kamen says to Sailor Moon during the confrontation with the youma in episode 2.
* [[Flashback Cut]]: When Usagi and Ami's hands touch for the first time, Ami gets a momentary flashback to the Silver Millennium. Rei gets one just upon seeing Usagi the first time.
* [[Forgotten Phlebotinum]]: Played with -- Sailor Moon's "sonic attack", which in the original anime was used once in her first appearance and never seen again, here shows up at least twice -- but the second youma [[It Only Works Once|is unaffected by it]].
* [[Free Prize At the Bottom]]: How Ami gets her henshin wand and Usagi gets her disguise pen -- they're both dispensed from the ''Sailor V'' video game when Ami beats the high score.
* [[Golem]]: Instead of being a race of demonic creatures as they were in the original anime, the youma of the Dark Kingdom are some variety of golem,
* [[Gratuitous French]]: "A suivre" ("to be continued") on a [[Title Card]] at the end of each episode.
* [[Hemisphere Bias]]: Seen in one of the bumper illustrations, which shows Earth in the sky above Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon -- with Southeast Asia and Japan visible.
* [[Life Energy]]: Seems to be reduced in importance compared to the original anime; it's needed, but apparently the power of the Ginzuishou is even better, and finding that is the real priority.▼
* [[Les Yay]]: Not exactly unexpected, given the history of the franchise.
** In episode 3, Ami invites Usagi onto her usual bus to cram school by mentioning "there's a beautiful girl I see all the time on it", implying and assuming Usagi will be interested in seeing the girl, who turns out to be Rei. When Usagi sees Rei for the first time, she gets hearts in her eyes and croons "she's so beautiful..." before following her off the bus, obviously crushing on her.
▲* [[Life Energy]]: Seems to be drastically reduced in importance compared to the original anime; it's needed, but apparently the power of the Ginzuishou is even better, and finding that is the real priority. Consequently the purposes and goals of some of the Dark Kingdom's plots are changed -- Ami's cram school in episode 2 is running a search for the Ginzuishou, and the "demon bus" in episode 3 is kidnapping hostages to draw the Sailor Senshi into a confrontation.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Mamoru appears to have nothing to wear but a single [[Dracula]]-esque tuxedo.
* [[Love You and Everybody]]: Usagi.
Line 35 ⟶ 39:
* [[Paper Master]]: The youma behind the Crystal Seminar.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Umino is capable of this, often suddenly appearing amongst Usagi and her friends in early episodes.
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Although Luna has conversations with Usagi in all sorts of public locations -- street corners, school yards, buses -- ''no one'' ever seems to find a talking cat at all unusual or worth paying attention to. [[Lampshaded]] in episode 3 when Luna suddenly pretends to be a normal cat and only meowing when Mamoru turns out to be sitting next to them on a bus; he then asks Usagi why she's talking to herself...
* [[Video Game Tropes]]: We see enough the ''Sailor V'' video game that we can start sussing out its tropes -- it's a multi-level side-scrolling shooter to start with.
* [[Windows Match the Drapes]]: Ami. Also Kuri, one of Usagi's pre-Senshi friends, who has matching dark amethyst hair and eyes.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Mamoru looks like the college student he was in the original, but turns out to be a junior in high school, no doubt to get rid of the [[Unfortunate Implications]] inherent in a 14-year-old dating someone 6 to 8 years older than herself...
