* GassyGastronomy: Usagi gorges herself on sweet potatoes. The others warn her that they can cause gas if she has too many of them, but she ignores this until she indeed ends up loudly cutting it. The [=DiC=] dub, however, [[{{Bowdlerise}} removes the farting sound effect]], though it keeps the animation of Usagi fanning her face while blushing.

* NamedByTheDub: Two minor characters who were friends of Usagi, a FatAndSkinny duo of girls, went unnamed in the original Japanese version. The [=DiC=] English dub names them Lorraine (fat friend) and Brandy (skinny, freckled friend).

* ForWantOfANail:
** If Sailor Moon ''had'' let Uranus and Neptune kill Hotaru/Sailor Saturn in the ''S'' season, then she wouldn't have been able to heal the Phages in ''Sailor Stars'' or even defeat Galaxia (or have faced Nehellenia in the first arc of ''Sailor Stars'' since Galaxia only freed her so the new threat would force baby Hotaru to grow up and have her Star Seed ready for her when she arrived) since she wouldn't have earned her "Eternal" transformation which required ''all'' the Sailor Soldiers (minus Chibi Moon) to lend her their powers. So if Uranus and Neptune had gotten what they wanted, the Earth would have been [[DownerEnding completely devastated by the Shadow Galactica]].
** In the ''Stars'' season, had Uranus and Neptune ''not'' attacked when Sailor Moon and Sailor Star Fighter were about to shake hands and establish an alliance, they would have been able to work together as a group and the constant conflict between the Earth Senshi and the Starlight Senshi wouldn't have happened.

* GenreBlind: Present especially in the first season, when Usagi and her friends never seem to suspect any monster activity when weird things happen, despite them having been in such situations in every preceding episode.

Added DiffLines:

* LipLock:
** This happens in ''almost every sentence spoken'' in the Viz dub, where the dub writers tried so hard to make the script as close to the Japanese original as possible (and match up the lip flaps to boot), that oftentimes, natural sounding & flowing English dialogue is thrown out the window.
** Averted with the DIC dub, which has the ''opposite'' problem. The DIC dub additionally suffers from this trope in a literal sense, particularly during the Irwin Toy-funded run of the dub (the last 17 episodes of the ''R'' season), where oddly-placed dialogue pauses were (uncommon but) present due to how the lip flaps were timed. This was noticeably less of an issue in the initial 65-episode syndication run of the DIC dub, as the Irwin Toy-funded episodes were rushed out of the door by Optimum (in order to air on Cartoon Network as “the lost episodes”).

An Aesop is no longer a trope.


* DietEpisode: Usagi tries to go on a diet but fails in an early episode that involves the villains taking energy from girls who are obsessed with getting thin. Notably, this is ''not'' done for AnAesop in the Japanese script - it's mined for pure comedy at the need for women to stay skinny. [[ValuesDissonance In America, they had to make a "Sailor Moon Says" about how eating disorders and crash diets are a bad thing]].
* DistressBall: In Episode 62, the entire team except for Sailor Mercury are completely helpless against a perfectly ordinary MonsterOfTheWeek so that Sailor Mercury can realize that she's needed and come save the team. The usual sexist implications aren't present; instead, it's to deliver [[AnAesop the Aesop]] that Ami should stay with the Sailor Guardians instead of leaving to fulfill her dream.

* CatchPhrase: In the DIC and CWI dubs, Sailor Moon's trademark catchphrase, "Tsuki ni kawatte oshioki yo!", was sometimes rendered faithfully as "[[InTheNameOfTheMoon In the name of/On behalf of the moon]], I shall punish you!", and other times not so faithfully as, "On behalf of the moon, I will right wrongs and triumph over evil, and that means ''you''!" As for the other Sailor Guardians, their trademark catch phrases were virtually ''never'' rendered faithfully in the original dubs.

Shattering The Illusion is not about every illusion-shattering


* TakenForGranite: Jadeite's [[FateWorseThanDeath encased in crystal]] in the first season. A similar fate almost happens to Rei as well when she was bitten by a snake that promptly turned to stone afterwards, but it might have just [[ShatteringTheIllusion been an illusion]]. Another monster encased women in wax, trapping Ami and Makoto.

* FreeRangeChildren: The Inners are able to go all over town at all hours of the day and night and go on beach trips, camping trips and ski trips without supervision despite being middle school/high school age. However, it should be pointed out that Usagi, Ami and Rei are the only ones with guardians, whereas Makoto's parents are dead, Minako's parents are never mentioned, Mamoru's parents are also dead, Haruka and Michiru's parents are never mentioned either (but in the manga, Uranus says they have patrons), Setsuna is the only adult, and Hotaru, the youngest one, is more or less adopted by her fellow Outers.
