• Base Breaker: The canon females (especially Mia, Kayura, and Suzunagi) are either admired or loathed in the American fandom.
  • In the NA fandom Yuli gets more hate than the majority of the characters despite only being around eight years old and having been separated from his parents.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: The debut of the Inferno Armor.
  • Also Talpa's second defeat.
  • For the Yuli-haters, it's when Ryo slaps him. Across the face.
• Evil Is Sexy: Lady Kayura, at least until her Heel Face Turn later on.
• Ho Yay: Damn. ...er, this is bound to be a factor given the Cast Full of Pretty Boys. The heroes are all in their early-teens, but the show doesn't have any romantic component to speak of. When you further consider how close-knit their friendship is (and the fact that many of them are from broken families), you can't help but wonder although Seiji constantly made smooth passes at Nasuti in the original version. Ryo also does fall in love with Luna in the 1st OVA, Gaiden. Sadly, she is killed by the Big Bad.
• Macekre: Surprisingly averted; with the exception of character and attack names, and some editing around of scenes in the first two episodes, the dub is incredibly faithful to the original show, right down to allowing character deaths and leaving the level of violence practically untouched. Hell, a brief flash of Lady Kayura naked was even left untouched!
• Older Than They Think: There are still people who look down on the series as nothing more than the Spear Counterpart to Sailor Moon. YST debuted four years before the the manga of of Sailor Moon started. It really doesn't help that when Cartoon Network got their hands on the series for Toonami they pretty much promoted the show as such, sometimes airing episodes of each series back-to-back and creating promos that almost looked like a crossover between the two.
• The Scrappy: Depending on which segment of the fandom you ask, this can be either Yuli, Mia, Lady Kayura, Suzunagi, or even all four.
• Seasonal Rot: Many North American fans dislike the final story arc, Message, due to the episodes relying on the heavy usage of stock footage from the TV series and second OVA to accompany the character monologues.
  • Both Japanese and American fans have said that Message is too difficult to follow. But Word of God has stated that the OVA was not meant for entertainment purposes, but it was a way for the characters to express themselves and the world of the armors.
• Shipping: As much as to be expected, although there's an aversion of the Ryo/Kayura pairing.
• Tear Jerker: White Blaze's sacrifice. But he got better.
  • Anubis' sacrifice got Yuli and plenty of FanGirls crying.
• Unfortunate Implications: Talpa said to Kayura that once the mortal world was conquered, he would rule with Kayura at his side. Again, Kayura is technically a 12 year old girl.
  • There's the fact that Talpa is at least 1000 years old, and marrying young was common in those days. At the least, it's still Values Dissonance, but he is the Big Bad.
