Sailor Moon/Anime-Only Tropes: Difference between revisions

* [[Ain't Too Proud to Beg]]/[[Villains Want Mercy]]:In the English dub, Tellu begs the Senshi to save her [[Hoist by His Own Petard|when her own giant plant attacks her.]] {{spoiler|They don't.}}

* [[Alternate Continuity]]: The anime bares only a passing resemblance to the manga, which progresses as the series moves on. While most of the manga's cast appears, they frequently have completely different motivations, personalities, and backstories. This leads to each plot arc playing out completely differently in the anime compared to the manga, only occasionally sharing a story beat or two.

* [[Anatomy of the Soul]]: Each season had at least one new item. The Death Busters transform the "pure hearts" of humans into crystals in the anime, in the manga human hosts are used to hold Daimons. In the anime, the Dark Moon Circus first try to search the "dream mirrors" of humans for Pegasus, then later try to search for one with a golden mirror. In Sailor Stars, Shadow Galactica rip the star seeds out of people as they search for special star seeds, and then turn their victims into phages.

* [[Annoying Laugh]]: Esmeraude. The first time she laughs in front of the Sailor Soldiers they cover their ears in pain.

* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: The monster Iguara in episode 5 has a huge white blinking spot at the base of its tail that is its only vulnerability.

* [[Battle Royale With Cheese]]: In the first and last season

** Queen Nehellenia's berserk button is [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!|people giving her pity]] for her miserable, ugly life.

* [[Bicep-Polishing Gesture]]
