Line 17:
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Sailor Tin Nyanko goes undercover as a foreign exchange student... from ''Libya'' of all places. She's pasty white, and doesn't even remotely act or dress like she's from a country with a conservative Muslim majority. Her name is also ''Japanese''. Whether Takeuchi or Tin Nyanko failed to do the research is anyone's guess. She dies in her first appearance anyway, so there's not much time to contemplate it.
* [[Dropped a Bridge on Him]]: In ''Stars'', Princess Kakyuu has quite a bit of page time and character development, as she spends all of her time encouraging and helping Sailor Moon throughout the bad times. Then suddenly, during a fierce battle in the sailor crystal garden, {{spoiler|she decides it'd be awesome to tell everyone she's a Sailor Senshi, transforms into Sailor Kakyuu, then proceeds to get stabbed through the chest by a blunt, rounded staff. The bad guys quickly harvest her Sailor Crystal, and Sailor Moon completely snaps.}}
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The anime Daimons were humanoid female monsters made from mundane objects, the manga Daimons were monsters that fused with humans (They also used some animals like dogs and cats), if the infusion turned out right (which was rare), it would result in a perfect Daimon (Kaolinite and the Witches 5 are examples of perfect Daimons), when it turned out wrong (Everyone aside from Kaolinite, the Witches 5 and {{spoiler|Professor Tomoe and Hotaru}}), the result is a monster that easily fits the [[Nightmare Fuel]] category, [https://web.archive.org/web/20100909215743/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/sailor_moon/v07/c002/58.html just] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100909200136/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/sailor_moon/v07/c002/59.html look] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100909200141/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/sailor_moon/v07/c002/60.html at them]
** 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.
