Line 52:
* [[Chained Heat]]: Sailors Moon and Uranus in episode 98 of ''Sailor Moon S''. This also starts to clue Usagi in to Uranus' identity as Uranus holds her the same way Haruka does earlier in the episode.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: There are many, but a particularly interesting one - because it's also a [[Red Herring]] - is when Luna and Artemis explain that Uranus, Neptune and Pluto "were not supposed to be reborn" and only would have if their cause was "an emergency." In reality, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto's rebirth was an accident; when they gathered to witness the destruction of the Moon Kingdom, they didn't know that the combination of their talismans would mean the summoning of [[Apocalypse Maiden|Sailor Saturn]] and with her [[The End of the World as We Know It]]. So Luna and Artemis were wrong about the Outer Sailors' rebirth meaning something new/significant about the nature of that arc's mission. But the explanation ''does'' provide [[The Reveal]] for something else: {{spoiler|Hotaru being Sailor Saturn}}.
* [[Chosen Family]]:
** Each season shows numerous times that the Inner Senshi, along with Mamoru and the cats, have become a true family. Mamoru and Makoto are orphans, Ami rarely sees her mother due to the latter being a busy doctor, Minako ran away from home in the manga to become a Senshi on realizing she had to fulfill her duties while in the anime they ''never'' show up, and Rei is estranged from her father and she keeps her grandfather at an arm's length in the manga due to her trauma while being overprotective of him in the anime. Usagi is the only one whose [[Good Parents]] are together and alive, but it's confirmed she needs her friends as her trauma accumulates over the seasons. Indeed, it's {{spoiler|her friends nearly dying again that causes her to have her R upgrade, as it snaps her out of her [[Heroic BSOD]] about being forcibly reawakened.}}
** The Outer Senshi also become this in the manga and the anime when they adopt Hotaru, who has reverted to baby form. Haruka and Michiru have taken over raising her, as it's unexplained in the anime what happened to {{spoiler|Professor Tomoe who survived the events of the story and was confirmed to be brainwashed by the ''real'' Big Bads, Pharaoh 90 and Mistress Nine.}} What makes this an eventual tearjerker is that in ''Stars'', {{spoiler|Haruka and Michiru attempt to become [[Fake Defector]]s in an attempt to stop Galaxia, and "prove" their loyalty by killing Setsuna and Hotaru.}}
* [[Circle of Friendship]]: The Sailor Planet Attack.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]
