Line 36:
* [[Psychic Dreams for Everyone]]: In the Infinity arc, ''everyone'' dreams about the impending doom and disaster Saturn is supposed to bring.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Pretty much everyone in the future is affected, with Crystal Tokyo itself stated to be "a generation of ageless people". In the manga, it's stated that Chibi-Usa is over 900 years old - one day, she simply stopped growing (this is apparently linked to her lack of powers, and she seems to resume aging when they're unlocked). Neo Queen Serenity hasn't aged a day since she gave birth to Chibi-Usa at 22 (presumably, the other Senshi and King Endymion stopped aging around the same time), even though it's been nearly 1000 years. Additionally, though her exact age is unknown, Queen Serenity (Sailor Moon's mother in her past life) is stated to have the appearance of an 18 year old, and the race of the Silver Millennium are said to have life spans of about 1000 years.
* [[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.
