Line 73:
* [[Mega Crossover]]: ''SME'' is part of a much larger continuum of stories laid out in [[:File:Crossovers.jpg|this image]].
* [[Mirror Universe]]: One of the first universes the Dark Kingdom Renegades discover when they first begin exploring parallel worlds is one where their counterparts led the Dark Kingdom to victory over the Earth. Subverted in that most of their counterparts ''aren't'' "evil reflections" -- they were simply a little more pragmatic and a little more desperate to save themselves, and thus were [[Slowly Slipping Into Evil|willing to take ''slightly'' more extreme measures]] than the DKR had felt comfortable taking in their universe. The only one of their counterparts who was actually evil was their Titanite -- and that was because she had been too young to maintain the [[Masquerade]] that kept them alive, and the others had been reluctantly forced to [[Break the Cutie|break her mind and turn her evil for real]].
* [[Medieval Stasis|Post-Industrial Stasis]]: In the Crystal Tokyo era, there is a general perception that technological development essentially stagnated after the period known as "The Great Darkness". This is in fact a misconception, but it ''has'' slowed considerably, and in some cases magic or technomagic provides easier solutions to specific problems that do not provide additional payoffs the way scientific solutions often do. ▼
* [[Multiverse]]: ''SME''{{'}}s Earth is just one timeline in a vast number of parallel worlds, most if not all of which are mutually fictional.
* [[Next Gen Fic]]: "The Young Senshi", successors to the canon Senshi who get their own story collection.

* [[Private Eye Monologue]]: Magnesite lives to embody this trope. While a mid-ranking baron in the Dark Kingdom, he had his agents bring him earth video equipment so that he could watch old videos of [[Humphrey Bogart]], to whom [[Rule of Funny|he bears a remarkable resemblance]]. He was eventually trapped in a crystal prison by the Sailor Senshi and his former subordinate Calcite, and the only way for him to pass the time for the next 800 years was to replay every Bogart movie he's ever seen. Line by line, scene by scene, from memory. After he is released and placed on parole by Neo-Queen Serenity, he seeks employment in his idol's footsteps as a seedy detective. Unfortunately, Crystal Tokyo is a utopia, which clashes with his desired dingy atmosphere. In addition, because of his prolonged confinement and means of passing the time, he constantly thinks to himself in terms of the Private Eye Monologue. Sometimes, though, in accordance with the [[Rule of Funny]], he will accidentally monologue out loud; usually when the "dizzy dame with legs that could wrap around my waist with room to spare" standing in front of him is a Senshi looking for a reason to inflict harm.
* [[Slowly Slipping Into Evil]]: The [[Mirror Universe]] versions of the Dark Kingdom Renegades.
