History Radar / SailorMoon

* In the S season episode where Makoto decides to spend an evening with Haruka and Michiru, Rei says that she cannot believe that Makoto has supposedly gone on a date with another girl, to which Usagi pulls out a Theatre/TakarazukaRevue-esque magazine she found somewhere in Rei's room to tease Rei with, and Rei reacts in flabbergasted embarrassment. MistakenForGay-Makoto aside, Japanese teen girls having EvenTheGirlsWantHer crushes on Takarazuka actresses is common, but the way Rei reacts to Usagi's discovery is reminiscent of an embarrassed teen having their PornStash discovered by their parents.

* Episode 29 (22 in the original [=DiC=] dub) has Mako grab Mamoru around the neck and choke him when he criticizes her and Usagi for their obsessive crushes on Motoki. [=DiC=] cut the choking scene short by a few seconds, but it's rather surprising they left it in at all.

*** The dubs stuck to the original story, changing the language boundaries to suit the dub [[KeepItForeign (for example, the English dub made the English-speaking Sailor Moon gang interact with Mamoru/Darien's French speaking friends)]], but some made Usagi seem like she was going hyper from the [[FrothyMugsOfWater strange juice]].

* Some official art by Creator/NaokoTakeuchi herself has Usagi and sometimes Mamoru either naked, half-dressed, [[LingerieScene or straight up in underwear]]. This often [[NippleAndDimed includes showing nipples]]. Even more: [[http://somniumlunae.tumblr.com/post/44891880892/thighhighs-usagi-is-a-great-character-we-watch Usagi is never demonized for it.]]

-->'''Sailor Neptune:''' ''[slightly straining]'' You've put on some weight.
-->'''Sailor Uranus:''' I don't like listening to that kind of talk outside the bed.
** This had led to suggestions in the fandom that their relationship has been taken to the next level ever since the 3rd season, because their mission for the talismans is completed, so there was nothing to hold them back.

The North American’s English dubs of ''Sailor Moon'' is mostly remembered for (badly) toning down anything that could possibly influence the young viewers in a negative way. Sexual references or slight bits of nudity are either edited slightly or removed completely, as well as mild or extreme violence, death and [[ArsonMurderAndJayWalking anything concerning Japanese culture]].

** But what's funnier is that the name of the man on the test is [[Creator/KunihikoIkuhara one of the creative staff]], and when you translate "nanpa" and pair it with the reputation Roppongi has... it's basically describing one of the directors going to Tokyo's RedLightDistrict to pick up a prostitute and getting a shock upon finding out they're {{Transgender}}! [[SarcasmMode Oh yes, what a perfectly suitable thing to include on schoolwork!]]

* The Sailor Starlights from the final season ''Stars'' were placed in the form of males in order to pretend to be teenage heartthrobs to secretly look for the princess of their planet. Their actual forms are female and only turn into them when they transform into their Sailor Senshi forms, making them transsexual. This didn't stop them from being censored like the homosexual characters.

* Usagi's [[http://sailorgalaxy.de/tl_files/gallery/anime_secrets/090_1.JPG English test]] in the first episode of ''Sailor Moon S''. ''Very'' appropriate to give to 15-year-olds... (for those of you who don't know, "new-half" is a euphemism for a MTF transsexual).

** Later in the arc, Sailor Moon is fighting and she summons mental images of her loved ones to strengthen herself. When she thinks of Mamoru, he's shirtless, and it's strongly implied that she's recalling the moment mentioned above. This was also included in ''Crystal''.
*** It is worth noting that the two don't go all the way in this scene, but clearly wanted to (After being deaged at the beginning of the [=SuperS=] manga Usagi laments that she was finally grown up enough "to go for it"). In the manga, a scene almost at the end [[spoiler: states that they ''finally'' did it some time later.]]

*** It is worth noting that the two don't go all the way in this scene (After being deaged at the beginning of the [=SuperS=] manga Usagi laments that she was finally grown up enough "to go for it").

* The whole deal with the [[MindRape "Dream mirror catching"]] in the first part of ''Super S'' [[SexualHarassmentAndRapeTropes reeks of sexual allusions.]] The member of the Amazon Trio who's on the hunt first tries to befriend/seduce his victim... when rejected by her/him he gets her/him immediately restrained with handcuffs onto a horizontal surface... and once the aggressor gets his head inside the mirror, the victim starts ''screaming''...

* Episode 106. Haruka's race suit is clearly a cleverly-put Marlboro advertisement, as the overall design of the suit fits the general design of most Marlboro race suits ''except'' for the words in the logo ("TENOH" in the rear, "HARUKA" in the front). The styling on the rear part of the suit even fits to Marlboro's logo styling is[[note]]Notice in the words "TENOH", the letter in the middle ("N") is higher in contrast to every other letter; much like how the real Marlboro logo have the letters in the middle ("lb") to be higher than all other letters except the capital M (even then, the height of the M isn't as tall as "lb")[[/note]].

--> '''Sareena(During the preview narration):''' Everyone knows mom's lemon pies are the best and we all like to eat them, but could it be that there's a new man in mom's life [[ThatCameOutWrong who ALSO likes to eat mom's great pie?]]"

*** It is worth noting that the two don't go all the way in this scene (After being deaged at the beginning of the SuperS manga Usagi laments that she was finally grown up enough "to go for it").

* When Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask find out that Chibiusa is their {{kid from the future}} from a future Mamoru, they are absolutely astounded and their [[LuminescentBlush faces glow red with embarrassment]]. Not really too old for young children to understand, but what really cranked the scene up to radar-pushing was when a concerned Sailor Mars angrily bellows:
-->'''Sailor Mars:''' WHAT DAY, WEEK, MONTH DID THIS HAPPEN??!
*** This makes Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask blush more. One could argue that they're wondering the same thing too...
*** Does this imply that they have a rather ''active'' sex life?

* A towelled Seiya emerges from Usagi’s bathroom in the 5th season, shocking and embarrassing Usagi and her friends. When Chibi Chibi runs over and started tugging the towel around Seiya’s waist as if she thinks it's a toy, the girls shriek in terror. A blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment when the girls are shown freaking out, Ami can be seen covering her face with her hands, [[ChivalrousPervert but her fingers are parted over her eyes]]...

** This had led to suggestions in the fandom that their relationship has been taken to the next level ever since the 3rd season because their mission for the talismans is completed and not holding them back.
* [[TransformationSequence Transformation sequences]] in the dubs resorted to editing out the BarbieDollAnatomy, particularly the English one, that rubbed out the breast outlines.
* The way that the Cloverway company edited the English dub. Most notably when Haruka and Michiru (Uranus and Neptune) held hands and gazed into each other’s eyes. Considering how they are supposed to be cousins, this was a rather suggestive action that was ''left in'' during the editing.

** However, she somehow manages to fluster all of the girls [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer that know she's female]].

** Another interesting quirk of Haruka's was referring to Usagi and Minako as kittens. While this may seem like an innocent pet name, "kitten" happens to be Japanese slang for the femme in a lesbian relationship.

-->'''Haruka:''' You're hurting me.
-->'''Michiru:''' Am I?
-->'''Haruka:''' I want you to hold me gently!
-->'''Michiru:''' ''[in a slight mischievous tone]'' Later, when we're alone!
** They were still in earshot of Luna and Usagi, who are both left looking uncomfortable and embarrassed with what they'd heard.
-->'''Usagi:''' ''[with a look of cringe]'' Uh... that's an adult mood, isn't it?

--> '''Haruka:''' [[NoSell Damn, not a scratch.]] Has [Her space sword] gone dull already?
-->'''Michiru:''' You're blaming the sword?
-->'''Haruka:''' I don't think I've lost my edge.
-->'''Michiru:''' You want to try it?
-->'''Haruka:''' Later, when we're alone...

** Some dubs made Uranus ''male''. This kept "his" relationship with Neptune alive, but confused many fans whenever "he" transformed into "his" rather feminine Sailor Senshi uniform – complete with a fancy skirt!

-->'''Neptune''': ''[slightly straining]'' You've put on some weight.
-->'''Uranus''': I don't like listening to that kind of talk outside the bed.

-->'''Sailor Mars''': WHAT DAY, WEEK, MONTH DID THIS HAPPEN??!

-->'''Haruka''': You're hurting me.
-->'''Michiru''': Am I?
-->'''Haruka''': I want you to hold me gently!
-->'''Michiru''': ''[in a slight mischievous tone]'' Later, when we're alone!

-->'''Usagi''': ''[while [[FaceFault face-faulting]]]'' Uh... that's an adult mood, isn't it?

** Even more so! When Tiger's Eye and Hawk's Eye looked inside Minako's Dream Mirror not only their reaction about her 'amazing dream' implies [[EroticDream her life dream has a pornographic nature]], but, differently from anyone else, [[TooKinkyToTorture she was apparently excited by the experience.]]
-->'''Minako''': [with shiny eyes and a rather unsubtle blush on her face] "Please be gentle... my heart... it could break!"

* Zoisite once challenges Mamoru to a showdown for the Rainbow Crystals. In the original, his line is "here are my Crystals. Now, present yours". In the English dub, Zoisite says "I'll show you mine. Now, you show me yours." Without context it sounds like [[ShesAManInJapan she's]] asking for something ''other'' than Crystals.

[[caption-width-right:350:Oh, GetYourMindOutOfTheGutter, Haruka!]]

** Famous for creating loads of {{Narm}}, the English dub edited this by making her ([[DubNameChange Lita]]) say that she was perfect because she had the “most acting experience and [[UnusualEuphemism talent]].”
*** This would’ve passed without any raised eyebrows if the dub had taken out the sound effects which suggested the bouncing of breasts, or the frames in which “Lita” shoved her well-endowed chest into some of the other characters' faces, leaving them furiously blushing and turning away.

* [[TransformationSequence Transformation Sequences]] in the dubs resorted to editing out the BarbieDollAnatomy, particularly the English one, that rubbed out the breast outlines.

* When Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask find out that Chibiusa is their KidFromTheFuture from a future Mamoru, they are absolutely astounded and their [[LuminescentBlush faces glow red with embarrassment]]. Not really too old for young children to understand, but what really cranked the scene up to that standard was when a concerned Sailor Mars angrily bellows:

* The Amazon Quartet wore uniforms that exposed a lot of skin which made bikinis look prudish. Many of the dubs coloured in some of the bare flesh, which made it look rather weird and OffModel. Some dubs coloured the skin in [[EpicFail completely different colours to the outfits]] making the whole work look shoddy and obvious.

* Just why was Luna being chased by a group of cats? This scene has some UnfortunateImplications about what they would do to her had she not been saved by a large cat. And if we remember the anatomy of a male cat, it was going to be a very painful experience for Luna.

** Not to mention that one of the Amazon trio dudes, [[CampGay Fish Eye]], [[HoYay specifically looks for]] [[PrettyBoy pretty guys]] and [[DisguisedInDrag crossdresses]] to approach them. Related to this -- there was one time when Fish did NOT crossdress for his work... when he was targeting a PrettyBoy who was implied to ''actually'' be homosexual, and probably [[SubordinateExcuse in a relationship with his male assistant.]]
