Sailor Moon/Manga-Only Tropes: Difference between revisions

* [[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.)

** [[The Big Guy]]: Makoto

* [[Homoerotic Subtext]]: Usagi gets hearts in her eyes when she meets each of the new Senshi.

** This is later taken to an extreme when Haruka kisses Usagi multiple times in the early parts of the Death Busters Arc, in both her Uranus and Haruka identities. This actually creates a brief period of friction between Usagi and Mamoru, though they eventually admit what happened and move past it. The kissing is also how Usagi figures out Uranus' identity as Haruka.
