Line 13:
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: Inverted. After the first season of the anime, his importance quickly faded, as did his badassery ratio. Reputedly, the director of the anime hated his character. By contrast, he retains a larger role in the manga.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: After his first brainwashing session at Beryl's hands, he still retained many of his noble qualities and became one of these.
* [[The Artifact]]: In the anime, especially during ''S'' and Super S''SuperS''. He started as a [[Satellite Character]] to give Usagi someone to emote at, but he and Usagi hit the [[Relationship Ceiling]] at the end of R, and meanwhile Usagi had lots of friends and characters to emote at, so he basically didn't do much before he was [[Put on a Bus]] {{spoiler|[[Bus Crash|destined to crash]]}}.▼
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: In the live-action, with a girl named Hina Kousaka (the daughter of his old caretaker). He still falls for Usagi, and Hina later [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|lets him go willingly.]] ▼

* [[Badass Normal]]: In live action he doesn't seem to have any inherent powers.▼
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: The Archie for Usagi's Betty and Rei's Veronica. He chooses Usagi.
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: To the other Inner Senshi, specially Ami. This is the basis for [[Fan-Preferred Couple|the Ami/Mamoru pairing.]]
Line 23 ⟶ 21:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Guy has no luck when it comes to being a victim.
* [[Chick Magnet]]: And [[Blessed with Suck|suffering for it]], as many female villains ([[Ho Yay|and two]] [[Even the Guys Want Him|males]]) have a crush on him, which usually means they want to turn him into [[Brainwashed and Crazy|their obedient manslave]].
* [[Coat, Hat, Mask]]: With a cape replacing the coat.
* [[The Comically Serious]]: Sometimes.
* [[Dude in Distress]]: More in the anime, though his manga self also wasn't free.

* [[Evil Costume Switch]]: In PGSM {{spoiler|when Mamoru is possessed by Metallia's energy}}.▼

* [[Hot Shoujo Dad]]: Will become this once Chibi-Usa is properly born.
* [[Ill Boy]]: In ''Super S'', {{spoiler|as The Dead Circus's influence spreads on Earth. He heals once the enemy is defeated, though}}.
* [[Ineffectual Loner]]: Sort of.
* [[It's Not You, It's Me]]: In ''R'', he starts doing this to Usagi after {{spoiler|having several nightmares about Usagi's upcoming death in their wedding day}}.
** This is also done to a lesser degree in ''Super SSuperS'', when he starts to become sick and fears that Usagi would catch his infection. {{spoiler|Little did he know his illness wasn't related to any viruses, but to the presence of the Dead Moon Circus.}}
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: In the beginning of the anime.
* [[Mask Power]]
* [[Capulet Counterpart|Montague Counterpart]]: In the first season, until he and Usagi recover their memories of their past lives.
* [[Mind Rape]]: {{spoiler|The reason behind his nightmares. Actually, these were sent to him by... his future self. Meaning, Mamoru had been ''mindraping himself'' all the time.}}
* [[Mysterious Protector]]
* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: The mask part is there, but he wears white tie and tails instead of a tuxedo.
Line 47 ⟶ 44:
* [[Something About a Rose]]: His other ability in the anime.
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]
* [[Team Dad]]: Acts like a brother to the Senshi (specially to Ami), keeps Usagi ''and'' Chibi-Usa with their feet on Earth, in the ''S'' season he talks to the Inner Senshi directly to try finding out about their reasons.

* [[The Worf Effect]]
