Sailor Moon/Manga-Only Tropes: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

** Virtually all of the [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] could also be considered this.

* [[Expy]]: The series is both a spinoff and reboot of [[Codename Sailor V]], so several characters (Usagi, Umino, Naru, Luna) are expies of ones from the earlier series (Minako, Amano, Hikaru, Artemis). But then Minako and Artemis make the jump into Sailor Moon proper, marking one of the rare instances of expies encountering each other as something more than a joke.

* [[Five Man Band]]: (From the Guardian Senshi's point of view, at least.)

* [[Five-Man Band]]: (From the Guardian Senshi's point of view, at least.)

** [[The Hero]]: Minako

** [[The Lancer]]: Rei

* [[Sci Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]: The ''sheer scope'' of spaces is repeatedly ignored throughout the manga, mainly because this particular universe runs on [[Rule of Cool]] rather than physics.

* [[We All Live in America|We All Live In Japan]]: In the "Princess Kaguya" manga arc, Himeko mentions being denied a place on the Luna Shuttle's team because the NASA scientists thought a young woman like her "should just get married and settle down." While in Japan such attitudes toward young women are [[Christmas Cake|still fairly prevalent]], in the U.S. getting married at Himeko's age (early '20s) would be considered rather young. It would be especially unlikely that she would hear it working at NASA, because the years of extra training and education required to get there would push the average marriage age even higher.

* [[What Happened to The Mouse]]: The cats are the last of Usagi's allies to be killed off in the ''Sailor Stars'' arc... and unlike the Senshi are promptly forgotten about, never shown to be resurrected and never mentioned or alluded to during the ending. But they must have been resurrected or Diana would never have been born.

* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: The cats are the last of Usagi's allies to be killed off in the ''Sailor Stars'' arc... and unlike the Senshi are promptly forgotten about, never shown to be resurrected and never mentioned or alluded to during the ending. But they must have been resurrected or Diana would never have been born.
