Line 31:
* [[Berserk Button]]: It was established in the 13th episode that anyone who [[Stay in the Kitchen|makes sexist remarks]] within earshot of a Sailor Senshi is in for a world of hurt, as Jadeite learned the hard way when the then-[[Trio]] of the Sailor Senshi used [[Car Fu|Plane Fu]] on him for that offense.
** Queen Nehellenia's berserk button is [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!|people giving her pity]] for her miserable, ugly life.
* [[Betty, Veronica and Archie Switcheroo]]:
** The second episode has Umino crushing on Usagi, and the [[Monster of the Week]] turns him into a [[Jerkass]] brainwashed Veronica, just as she sees her crush Motoki at the arcade, a [[Nice Guy]] that feeds Luna. Umino flips their teacher's skirt, joins the boys in throwing rocks at windows, and harasses Usagi to the point that she cries. Except... it was a spell. When Usagi becomes Sailor Moon and frees the boys, Umino is mortified on hearing what he did.
** Rei starts dating Mamoru in season one. While she's portrayed as the Veronica to Usagi's Betty, in truth both of the girls bicker a lot, with Usagi sometimes having unprovoked jabs at Rei, and at this point Usagi has eyes only for arcade manager and [[Nice Guy]] Motoki. {{spoiler|And in the end, Rei steps aside because she realizes that while she liked Mamoru, she didn't love him the way that Usagi does to the point of having a breakdown after learning the Dark Kingdom captured and brainwashed him. Plus, by then, a drifter named Yuiichiro catches her eye, to the point they become a couple in later seasons.}}
** Makoto gets jealous when finding out that Motoki has a girlfriend, a [[Nice Girl]] named Reika who would be the Betty. Makoto would normally be the Veronica and prepares to sabotage the relationship, only to find out that she can't do it. When Reika is hesitant about accepting a job abroad that would separate her from her boyfriend, Makoto says that long-distance relationships work all the time, and encourages her that she and Motoki can still be happy, returning to their relationship when Reika's job is over. And indeed, when Motoki sees off Reika at the airport, both Makoto and Usagi are touched at how much the two care about each other.
* [[Bicep-Polishing Gesture]]
* [[Big-Budget Beef-Up]]: The animation quality takes a noticeable jump about midway through R and again for S onwards.
