!Tropes contained in "Becoming Muck":
* AdultFear: Putting aside the "AlienInvasion" angle, the very idea that your friends could have been captured by a dangerous person and not only are you the only one who can save them, but they might have turned against you, could terrify many viewers.
* BigBad: Jamanen. [[spoiler: At first.]]
* [[spoiler: BittersweetEnding: Minako fails in her mission to save the Senshi, and Jamanen is able to erase her memories and identity of her life as a human, ensuring Sailor Venus--now named [[{{TitleDrop}} Muck]] will be her loyal minion. However, not only does Jamanen show genuine care and concern for the Guardians' well-being, but the Senshi/Guardians have come to accept their new lot in life and are happy to be with both each other and Jamanen.]]
* BizarreAlienBiology: [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]]. When traveling on Nemesis, Minako recounts how they are able to move without muscles, and questions what will happen if to the now-Jellaxed Senshi if and when Jamanen dies, such as whether they can go on living/being Senshi in their current state.
* BizarreAlienPsychology: Mostly averted, since Jamanen is remarkably human in many aspects. However, there are some exceptions:
** Jamanen and the Jellax seem to hold a sort of HiveMind over one another, which acts like a telepathic bond that allows them all to communicate and empathize with one another.
** Jamanen feels the need to rename the Senshi for no clear purpose, and even Minako's thoughts do not answer if she's doing it as a means of mockery or to christen them with new names for their new life.
** Even though Jamanen could have gotten Muck on her side at any time, she chose to wait until Muck tried to attack her.
* HiddenDepths: A small one, but since Jamanen was a bit disappointed that Minako surrendered so easily, it implies that Jamanen might enjoy challenges.
* [[Trope/Jerkass Jerkass]]: Jamanen is ''not'' nice to the Senshi after converting/enslaving them. She gives them ridiculous pet names, gloats over how she has defeated them, always refers to them as her slaves, and even let Minako think that she [[spoiler: had a chance to destroy her.]] Of course, we also only see this from Minako's POV, which could mean that Jamanen wasn't trying to be that way...
* ISurrenderSuckers: A play on this happens with [[spoiler: Minako. After seemingly giving into the Jellax Conversion, she reveals she was able to keep her mind independent of Jamanen's control through mental HeroicWillpower. Of course, it fails at the end.]]
* MeaningfulRename: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. There's no clear reason as to why Jamanen renames the Senshi, and even Muck's thoughts don't comment on it at all. However, it still represents how the Senshi are no longer their old selves, and have become "shadows" of themselves.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: A prominent motif within both this story, and for the Jellax as a whole. Even though Jamanen's control is mental, she is able to influence her new "Slime Slaves" by converting them into a new alien lifeform. Even Minako and Jamanen's BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind is started because Jamanen is able to get a stronger connection with Minako in her Jellax form.
* TranshumanTreachery: The Senshi betray Minako and fight against her after becoming Jamanen's Slime Slaves. Of course, considering Jamanen's powers, they probably don't have the will, or even the desire, to ignore her orders.
* UnreliableNarrator: A third-person example. Since all we truly see is Minako's perspective on things, we don't know how much is the "real" Jamanen and how much is Minako making interpretations that fit her current view of Jamanen. Some specific examples include:
** Was Jamanen truly sneering at Usagi when giving the latter her Jellax name, or was it more playful and motherly?
** Was Jamanen truly mocking Minako when Minako spent her energy [[spoiler: destroying a decoy]] or was Jamanen trying to be comforting?
** At the end, when Jamanen's voice was said to have become "strangely soothing" is that an indication Jamanen was beginning to change, that she was dropping her JerkassFacade, or that Minako was seeing Jamanen in an unbiased light?
* WhiteAndGrayMorality: Minako/Venus wants to save her friends, while Jamanen wants Venus to become her slave. [[spoiler: Despite the foul desire, Jamanen does show she loves the Guardians and indicates she's doing what she believes is best for them.]]

When traveling on Nemesis, Minako recounts how they are able to move without muscles, and questions what will happen if to the now-Jellaxed Senshi if and when Jamanen dies, such as whether they can go on living/being Senshi in their current state.
* BizarreAlienPsychology: Mostly averted, since Jamanen is remarkably human in many aspects. However, there are some exceptions:
** Jamanen and the Jellax seem to hold a sort of HiveMind over one another, which acts like a telepathic bond that allows them all to communicate and empathize with one another.
** Jamanen feels the need to rename the Senshi for no clear purpose, and even Minako's thoughts do not answer if she's doing it as a means of mockery or to christen them with new names for their new life.
** Even though Jamanen could have gotten Muck on her side at any time, she chose to wait until Muck tried to attack her.
* HiddenDepths: A small one, but since Jamanen was a bit disappointed that Minako surrendered so easily, it implies that Jamanen might enjoy challenges.
* [[Trope/Jerkass Jerkass]]: Jamanen is ''not'' nice to the Senshi after converting/enslaving them. She gives them ridiculous pet names, gloats over how she has defeated them, always refers to them as her slaves, and even let Minako think that she [[spoiler: had a chance to destroy her.]] Of course, we also only see this from Minako's POV, which could mean that Jamanen wasn't trying to be that way...
* ISurrenderSuckers: A play on this happens with [[spoiler: Minako. After seemingly giving into the Jellax Conversion, she reveals she was able to keep her mind independent of Jamanen's control through mental HeroicWillpower. Of course, it fails at the end.]]
* MeaningfulRename: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. There's no clear reason as to why Jamanen renames the Senshi, and even Muck's thoughts don't comment on it at all. However, it still represents how the Senshi are no longer their old selves, and have become "shadows" of themselves.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: A prominent motif within both this story, and for the Jellax as a whole. Even though Jamanen's control is mental, she is able to influence her new "Slime Slaves" by converting them into a new alien lifeform. Even Minako and Jamanen's BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind is started because Jamanen is able to get a stronger connection with Minako in her Jellax form.
* TranshumanTreachery: The Senshi betray Minako and fight against her after becoming Jamanen's Slime Slaves. Of course, considering Jamanen's powers, they probably don't have the will, or even the desire, to ignore her orders.
* UnreliableNarrator: A third-person example. Since all we truly see is Minako's perspective on things, we don't know how much is the "real" Jamanen and how much is Minako making interpretations that fit her current view of Jamanen. Some specific examples include:
** Was Jamanen truly sneering at Usagi when giving the latter her Jellax name, or was it more playful and motherly?
** Was Jamanen truly mocking Minako when Minako spent her energy [[spoiler: destroying a decoy]] or was Jamanen trying to be comforting?
** At the end, when Jamanen's voice was said to have become "strangely soothing" is that an indication Jamanen was beginning to change, that she was dropping her JerkassFacade, or that Minako was seeing Jamanen in an unbiased light?
* WhiteAndGrayMorality: Minako/Venus wants to save her friends, while Jamanen wants Venus to become her slave. [[spoiler: Despite the foul desire, Jamanen does show she loves the Guardians and indicates she's doing what she believes is best for them.]]
