There is also a manga-only sequel written by the head illustrator after the head writer left. ''Tokyo Mew Mew a la mode'' renders Ichigo utterly useless (no, really) so that a [[Creator's Pet|shiny new character]] named Berry Shirayuki/Mew Berry (Tokyopop name: Berry) can take her place. Many fans [[Fanon Discontinuity|like to pretend it doesn't exist]].
 
The manga was licensed by [[Tokyo Pop]] and the anime by 4Kids Entertainment (where it's known as ''Mew Mew Power''). Only the first half of the series has been released in the United States so far, and because of Fox's [[Screwed Byby the Network|odd airing schedule]], you're usually likely to only see the first twelve episodes. More recently, it was given the [[Gag Dub]] treatment in ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew in A Nutshell (Web Video)|Tokyo Mew Mew in Aa Nutshell]]''. In addition, Kodansha USA has re-licensed the the original manga in omnibus form, coming this fall.
 
4Kids recently lost the rights to the first half of the show, and has been unsuccessful in attempting to purchase the rights to the second half. It was popularly assumed, but not proven, that a relicensing like ''[[One Piece]]'' had would hang on the success of the English release of ''[[Mamotte Lollipop|Mamotte! Lollipop]]''.
 
This series now has a [[Tokyo Mew Mew (Manga)/Characters|character sheet]].
----
== Ikumi Mia loves puns, and Tokyopop's translators are not purists. These factors together create a lot of confusion as to what things are called. Regarding names in the original version: ==
Line 53:
* [[Bishonen]]: ''Tons.''
* [[Breast Plate]]: Zakuro... and many of the men, too.
* [[Bree Sharp (Music)|Bree Sharp]]: Sang the English dub opening theme song for "Tokyo Mew Mew" and most of the songs for "Mew Mew Power."
* [[By the Power of Greyskull]]: Mew Mew (food), Metamorphose! [[Dueling Shows|And before]] ''[[Yes! PrecurePretty Cure 5|Yes! Precure 5]]'' used it, too.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Reborn (food) (verb)!
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Not characters, but the transformation phrases and revised weapon designs came into the manga from the anime.
Line 62:
* [[Combined Energy Attack]]: Reborn Strawberry Surprise.
* [[Costume Inertia]]
* [[Converse Withwith the Unconscious]]: Ichigo does this in episode 38.
* [[Creator Provincialism]]: Especially prevalent when we learn that the Mu Aqua ''only'' exists in the waters of Japan. Attack something else and they can't fix it!
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: See image.
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Mew Ichigo at times. The aliens as well.
* [[Dance Battler]]: A chimera anima in one [[Filler]] uses a ballet-based fighting style. Naturally, it was one of Minto's [[A Day in Thethe Limelight|focus episodes]].
* [[Dancing Theme]]: The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B4HQ8pqOsU ending theme]. [[Ear Worm|Catchy, too.]]
* [[Dark Magical Girl]]: Retasu at first, Zakuro (Renee) in ''MMP''.
* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]: Ryou and Bu-ling are both somewhat darker than much of the rest of the cast, and they both have yellow hair.
* [[Dating Catwoman]]: Bu-ling and Taruto.
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]
* [[Debut Queue]]: Episodes 1-12
* [[Demonic Invaders]]
Line 80:
* [[Dreaming of a White Christmas]]: Episode 38.
* [[Dub Induced Plot Hole]]: The honourific switch, left out of both English translations.
* [[Dude, She's Like, in Aa Coma]]
* [[Dude, Where's My Reward?]]: In episode five, Ichigo loses a gymnastics competition but saves everyone there.
* [[Ending Theme]]: With dancing cats!
Line 130:
{{quote| '''Ichigo''': (referring to the plant Chimera's love for eating) The only attack this thing has learned is a snack attack!}}
* [[Instrument of Murder]]
* [[In the Name of Thethe Moon]]: Chikyuu no mirai ni gohoushi suru ~nya!

* [[Joshikousei]]: Ichigo and Retasu wear seifuku
Line 163:
* [[Monster of the Week]]: Chimera Anima.
* [[Mr. Exposition]]
* [[Mr. Vice Guy]]: A lot: Ichigo is a [[Big Eater|glutton]] who accepts the call only when Shirogane offers her free samples of his cafe's sweets; Aoyama is such a [[Sloth|sloth]] that, unless Ichigo is involved, he never does what he wants because [[Stepford Smiler|it's easier to just smile]]; Zakuro's full of [[Wrath|wrath]] and reacts with violence (physical and psychological) to any problem and her mere eyes are enough to scare the cafe's customers; Minto is a textbook example of [[Pride]], treating everyone but Zakuro and Shirogane with disdain; Shirogane is so [[Greed|greedy]] he asked for money to help Ichigo with her homework and never paid the ticket of the Tokyo Dome. If they were heroes, we'd even have [[Lust]] (Kisshu) and [[Envy]] (Pai)...
* [[Murder the Hypotenuse]]: Poor, ''poor'' Masaya. He gets this in-universe from [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|Kisshu in his attempts to take Ichigo]], and IRL from hordes of crazy fangirls.

* [[The Power of Love]]: The focus of Episode 47, mentioned in the title.
Line 198:
* [[Science Marches On]]: According to the IUCN Red List, gray wolves are listed as "least concern". A couple of subspecies are endangered, but that's it. Finless Porpoises aren't considered endangered anymore, but are still vulnerable.

* [[Screwed Byby the Network]]: English dub.
* [[Secret Keeper]]
* [[Secret Test of Character]]: Zakuro attacks Minto during her [[Ten -Minute Retirement]] when she claims to have stopped caring about the fate of the earth. She turns to attack her dog, but when Minto goes to protect the dog, she notes that Minto really does care. Zakuro does it again in Episodes 42 and 43 to test the Mew Mews’ commitment to the fight and faith in each other.

Fast forward, the fight is won, the jewelry show finishes and everyone is happy right? But wait, where's Bu-ling? Oh, she's still fighting with the alien [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] By the the aliens 'they seem to be having fun, lets leave them alone'

* [[The Tokyo Fireball]]
* [[Tokyo Is the Center of Thethe Universe]]
