* DeadpanSnarker: Ranma and Mamoru are masters of this, but the Senshi all get their chance to add on it as well. Even the bad guys snark on occassion at absurd canon plot points.
Added DiffLines:
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: All of the Senshi are two years older than in canon, due to Pluto's escape from the loop, with the Inners being 16 (same age as Ranma) and Haruka and Michiru being 18. Hotaru however still is 12 and Mamoru still 19. Some other people got two years older as well, especially Naru and Umino. It not only makes everyone involved more mature, but also removes the squick in Usagi's and Mamoru's relationship, with Usagi now at the age of consent and the age gap much smaller.

The characters slowly but surely develop under the stresses of war while—surprise, surprise—the villains actually show some competence and skill. It begins with Sailor Pluto.
Pluto has been stuck in a time-loop ever since the first Crystal Tokyo timeline went bad. So bad, in fact, that she broke the Gates of Time with a Dead Scream in her fury, which began the loop of hell. After she’s gone insane and back again, she finds a ray of hope. There’s a surge of chaos energy in this particular loop, and she takes the chance to reset and rewrite causality in the hopes of a better world. It nearly breaks the universe, but she manages with the side effect of several changes. The senshi are all a year or two older, among numerous other changes. Since everyone involved is still an infant she has almost a decade and a half to put her life together and plan.
One Time Skip later, we meet Ranma Saotome. Being dragged on his way to Soun’s house by his father, Genma finds a wallet with two train tickets. Indulging his sloth, the older man let’s them take the train, only it doesn’t take them to Nerima. Instead, they end up in the middle of Minato ward and run into none other than Nodoka herself, who has changed quite a lot over the past years. The resulting events end with Genma in the dog house and Ranma returning home. Nodoka wants to correct the oversights Genma left in Ranma’s education and, knowing that he’ll need help passing high school entry exams, ask her best friends daughter to be a tutor. Her name: Ami Mizuno.

* ParentalAbandonment: Not as much as in the originals. Akane and Rei still suffer this, but Ami’s parents are still married and Nodoka regrets doing this to Ranma and is trying to mend her bridges.

She transfers schools and rooms with Usagi to get away from the memories in Nerima, only to get caught in a youma attack and nearly drained. They let her in on the secret, but she has to deal with the fact that she’s useless against youma. Then, to top it all off, the nice older man she befriended turns out to be a Dark Kingdom general in disguise.]]

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Zoicite was male in the original timeline, but Pluto’s reset turned him female. She’s not sure why, but notes that it hasn’t affected his relationship with Kunzite.
* EarlyBirdCameo: We haven’t seen Michiru or Haruka yet, but we see Michiru’s father in chapter four.
** [[spoiler: Later, the Death Busters start picking up the pace of their activities.]]
* FamousLastWords: While he might not be gone for good, Nephrite gets off a satisfying speech [[spoiler: to Beryl]] before he goes.
* Filler: Mostly averted. Every encounter is in some way plot relevant, and there are no random monster attacks; they’re all planned out well ahead of time by the baddies.
* Flanderization: The author does his best to avoid it, keeping everyone well-rounded and developing.
* FreudianExcuse: It would be easier to count who ''doesn’t'' have one.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Go look at what Kuno says [[spoiler: that finally makes Akane snap in chapter 4]].
* GreenThumb: [[spoiler: Naru gets this when transformed into Sailor Ceres].
* HammerSpace: Akane does ‘‘not’’ have this, and never touches a hammer during the story, but sub-space pockets are explicitly included in the senshi package. Also, Mu Tsu.
* {FailureIsTheOnlyOption Haircut is the Only Option]: In spite of changing schools, Akane’s hair still gets cut off in Ranma’s first fight with Ryoga.
* HealingHands
* HeroicBSOD: Ami goes into one when the curse shatters her understanding of the real world, and then again the first time she transforms.
* HonorBeforeReason: Nodoka was like this for a long time before her best friend broke her out of it.
** The Amazons suffered from this problem in the past, [[spoiler: which led to them getting [CurbStompBattle flattened] by the Chinese military after giving the Kiss of Death to an important official’s wife. Because of this, they had actually outlawed the Kisses of Death and Marriage, and Xian Pu got in ‘‘big’’ trouble for giving one to Ranma]].
* ImprovisedWeapon: Genma kills a cat demon with a broken pole.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Nephrite, leading up to his HeelFaceTurn, [[spoiler: and his HeelFaceDoorSlam.]] Aside from that, nope, not a one to be found.
* InstantExpert: Averted with the senshi’s martial arts training. It will take months or years for them to become notably skilled.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Ami at the beginning.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Ryoga.
* LampshadeHanging: The story discusses a lot of stuff that was iffy in the manga/anime.
* LazyBum: Genma is worse than Usagi ever was, and she’s gotten better.
* LethalChef: Akane.
* LiesToChildren: Sailor Pluto and the Advisors, simply because telling them the truth won’t help, and might actually hurt. They try to be truthful where they safely can, though.
* LightningBruiser: Ranma, compared to other humans and most youma, even if he can’t kill them. Apparently, he gets it from the surprisingly agile Genma.
* LonelyRichKid: Ami, but not as bad as in the original timeline.
* LoveRedeems: Nephrite. Averted with Zoicite and Kunzite, who are in love with each other.
* Meganekko: Ranma prefers that ami not be this, as seeing her wearing glasses unsettles him for some reason.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: The youma Nephrite used at the Ball had its (black, malevolent) heart in the right place, but lacked subtlety or brains.
* MotorMouth: Usagi.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Akane isn’t built much differently from the others, but she’s ''really'' strong.
* NoPeriodsPeriod: Ranma’s first, especially since s/he didn’t know the birds and the bees, scared the crud out of him.
* OfficialCouple: Usagi and Mamoru, presumeably. Also, Ranma and Ami.
* OldMaster: Cologne. Also, bear in mind that Setsuna is ReallySevenHundredYearsOld.
* OutOfTheInferno: The senshi after their CurbStompBattle with Jadeite.
* TheOneTrueSequence: Rainbow Crystals.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Her throne. Beryl doesn’t do much herself, but her generals are generally more involved.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Akane can’t really compare to the senshi in battle.
* PantyShot: At the jewelry store Ranma thinks that Sailor Moon has flashed him about a dozen times during the fight. The other senshi later complain about this to Pluto, who comments that it’s the fault of a “pervert, hardcore lesbian”.
* ParentalAbandonment: Not as much as in the originals. Akane and Rei still suffer this, but Ami’s parents are still married and Nodoka regrets doing this to Ranma and is trying to mend her bridges.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Given enough prep time, any of the generals or Beryl could be this, Pluto says when telling the senshi to take his ‘burn down the city’ threat seriously.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Pluto has to balance this with LiesToChildren.
* PromotionToParent: This happened to Akane’s sister Kasumi after their mother died and their father broke down, and she’s only barely avoiding a breakdown herself.
* PsychosomaticSuperpowerOutage: Mamoru can’t access his Endymion form until he finds a reason/want to fight, Cologne says.
* RetGone: Pluto [[spoiler: doesn’t intend to let Crystal Tokyo occur this time, meaning that the Black Moon Family will suffer this, and possibly Chibi-Usa as well]].
* ShipperOnDeck: Setsuna is this for Usagi and Mamoru, arranging for them to have a chance at a more normal relationship.
* SonicScream: Usagi not only has it, but weaponizes it on purpose to shatter a youma Mercury froze.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Akane and Usagi [[spoiler: who end up rooming together]].
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Makoto. Akane ''tries'' to the point of asking Makoto for lessons, but doesn’t have much success.
* TookALevelInBadass: Almost all of the protagonists, but the villains are nastier too. The earliest example is [[spoiler: Naru is Sailor Ceres.]]
** [[spoiler: Mamoru turns into Endymion to fight off Jadeite.]]
** [[spoiler: Ami and Makoto get weapons, a bow & arrows and a mace respectively, that let them fight off the [AdaptationalBadass Seven Great Youma]].
* TraumaCongaLine: Poor Akane. [[spoiler: First her mother dies, then she gets harassed by Kuno until she snaps after her father lets slip that he wanted a male heir. She transfers schools and rooms with Usagi to get away from the memories in Nerima, only to get caught in a youma attack and nearly drained. They let her in on the secret, but she has to deal with the fact that she’s useless against youma. Then, to top it all off, the nice older man she befriended turns out to be a Dark Kingdom general in disguise.]]
* Tsundere
* WeakButSkilled: Akane doesn’t have anywhere close to a senshi’s firepower and sucks against youma, but in civilian form she can beat any or all of the senshi in hand-to-hand (except maybe Pluto).
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Pluto saw where this led in the original timeline and intends to avert it.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Guidance councilor Setsuna calls Ukyo on this and makes her wear the female uniform in school.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Shampoo is one of the only people to have this, as Akane and Ami have been changed to black.
