19%%* MagicalGirlWarrior
20* MentorMascot: Panda-bu, an oddly spherical panda-thing.
21* MeaningfulName: The bunny-girls are named Valerian, Serotonin, and Dopamine, all of which are chemical substances that make you calm/happy.
22* MiniDressOfPower: Despite being bunnies, they still wear them.
23* MonsterOfTheWeek: In typical MagicalGirlWarrior fashion, the monsters are ordinary people whose negative emotions make them a prime target for the villains' monster-ification device, and whose monster form echoes the source of their angst.
24* NerdGlasses: The Stress Team members all wear these.
25* RefusedByTheCall: A one-shot LoonyFan wants to join the Valerians, but Panda-bu refuses because she's eaten a fugusashi ("fish-on-a-stick"), [[NiceJobBreakingItHero which results in her running off and becoming a victim of the Stress Squad]]. The real reason though is because she's still living with her family, without any dissatisfactions, while the Valerians faced all sorts of stress and overcame it; not everyone can fit the bill. She's later seen in front of the Stress Squad's lair, vying to join in.
26* RichesToRags: Kanoko used to have rich parents, but her mother died, and her father gave his company to his cabinet and went off on a trip. Now, she struggles with plenty of jobs to make ends meet and attempting to sell his inventions.
27* ShapeshifterModeLock: Pop suffers this in one special, and her stress from being unable to revert makes her a prime target for the Stress Squad. Apparently, Panda-bu using old batteries on her communicator was the problem.
28* SheatheYourSword: How the Valerians win against the BigBad (whose source of stress comes from the heroines), although there's also a lot of running away added in to tire him out.
29* {{Tanuki}}: What the BigBad is.
30* TransformationSequence: A very short one, but they get a longer and more traditional one in the next-to-last episode.
31* TransformationTrinket: Which are activated via card-swiping.
32* VerbalTic: Panda-bu adds "-bu" to the ends of his sentences.
