Line 39:
* [[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.
* [[Wham! Shot]]:
** You think this is going to be a cutesy magical girls story where a teenager learns to fight monsters and protect her friends. Then Zoicite comes up with a near-foolproof plan to lure Sailor Moon into a trap, and successfully gets her in a chokehold. Tuxedo Kamen can't attack without hurting Sailor Moon, watching with helplessness. So do the Senshi. Just as it seems Zoicite will kill Sailor Moon, a crescent beam incinerates him. It's Sailor V!
** The Chaos Galaxia arc starts with Usagi seeing off Mamoru at the airport, as he gives her an engagement ring and promises he will be back soon from studying abroad. {{spoiler|Then someone shoots Mamoru in the back, and it's confirmed that this killed him. Usagi blocks out the memory because it was so traumatic}}.
