Line 6:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Several, both comedic and serious. Venus' one is pressed ''hard'' when you try killing Sailor Moon. (She was not her closest body guard for nothing...)
** On the more comedic side... telling her she picked a trashy colour for lipstick makes sweet, [[Yamato Nadeshiko|ladylike]] Michiru... angry.
* [[Betty, Veronica and Archie Switcheroo]]: The Infinity Arc had Haruka hitting on Usagi while Michiru hit on Mamoru. Mamoru has become the Betty while the mysterious Haruka who rides a motorcycle and kisses Usagi while they're both in serious relationships seems to be the Veronica. Turns out that Haruka and Michiru, Sailor Uranus and Neptune respectively, were investigating Sailor Moon to help stop the Silence. They apologize to her and Mamoru for the deception. Mamoru and Usagi also forgive each other when they mutually confess, acknowledging that they may be in love, but sometimes other attractive people will come their way.
* [[Bifauxnen and Ladette]]: Haruka Tenoh and her rival Seiya Kou play the trope straight.
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: The original English translation of the manga by [[Tokyo Pop]] (previously Mixx Entertainment) made many, ''many'' mistakes, especially where names are concerned. For a few examples, Kaolinite is given the title "Magnus" (large) instead of "Magus" (mage), Ptilol becomes "Petite Roll," and the Boule Brothers are translated ''too'' literally into the Artificial Jewel Brothers. Particularly sad is when Hotaru quotes passages of a William Blake poem. The translators apparently didn't recognize it despite the credits given in the story itself and retranslated the Japanese translation into English. Then they made the exact same mistake when a [[Creator/Yeats|Yeats]] poem appeared in the manga.
