* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Petite Pandora's entire motivation for going after Sailor V is to avenge her sister Pandora's death. Even when she gets half her face melted off, the little villain espouses she won't stop until she's properly avenged Pandora.
* FailedASpotCheck: At the end of the Hawaiian chapter, Hikaru is confused as to why Minako's supposed Hawaiian souvenir is in fact a Grecian rug. And for added measure, neither of them notice the rug is covered in ''Egyptian'' hieroglyphics. Minako must've really gotten screwed over in the gift shop.
* TheFatEpisode: The Valentine's chapter with [=DeBrine's=] plot features several of the characters putting on weight thanks to her chocolates.
* LovingAShadow: [[spoiler:For all of Danburite's proclaimed love for Sailor Venus, it's never made clear if his feelings for her were genuine or just based on her image.]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: To illustrate what a creep Otakura is, he lifts up Sailor V's skirt to inspect on whether or not she's a girl earning him a very well deserved kick in the head.

* GassyGastronomy: Minako eats a lot of sweet potatoes in one chapter and later, when fighting as Sailor V, she uses an attack that involves a sulfur stink cloud. Artemis thinks it's because she ate too many sweet potatoes and farted, but she claims it's because she's using the power of Venus's sulfur atmosphere.

In 1991, {{mangaka}} Creator/NaokoTakeuchi, at the time popular for her figure-skating manga ''Manga/TheCherryProject'', was offered the chance to do a one shot story about anything she wanted. Being a fan of both MagicalGirl and HenshinHero shows, she created ''Codename: Sailor V'', intended to be a humorous one-off in which a girl has HenshinHero powers due to her connection to Venus, both the planet and the goddess.

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: The designs for Sailor V's costume and gadgets are very different from what the later Senshi would eventually receive. Despite being linked to Venus, V also has a pretty strong moon motif, and many of V's character traits and powers became redundant when Sailor Moon hit the scene, making V an even more obvious prototype. Although FridgeBrilliance kicks in when you remember that Minako was meant to be a decoy to the ''real'' Moon Princess.

** Minako's otaku pal Amano is drawn exactly the same as Usagi's otaku pal Umino. [[EpilepticTrees Some speculate he's a relative...or maybe the same guy, who just transferred schools and had a slight name change.]]
** Minako's best friend Hikaru looks exactly like Ami, aka Sailor Mercury.
** Saito has an uncanny resemblance to Kunzite. Noting that he resembled someone she couldn't remember was one of the earliest instances of Mina recalling her past life. Furthering muddling the situation is that, at one point, Saitou is referred to as "Saitou-kun." Reverse that, and it becomes "Kun-Saitou."
** Superintendent Sakurada looks a lot like Rei Hino, aka Sailor Mars.
** Inspector Wakagi looks like a more masculine Haruka Tenoh, aka Sailor Uranus.
** Narcissus, the first villain to appear, looks very similar to Jadeite, who in turn is the first villain to appear in ''Sailor Moon.''
** Minako's mother looks exactly like Usagi's, and acts exactly like Usagi's when nagging her. However, the format means we ''only'' see her when she's nagging her, and so she appears to [[ParentsAsPeople not like Minako very much]]. However, we see her little - you only get a panel per issue when she's reacting to something like Minako's schoolwork suffering (from superheroics she of course can't reveal.) It was probably intended to be a relationship more like Usagi and Ikuko.
** Hibiscusy looks like a dark skinned version of Mimete, especially fitting since Mimete was Minako's EvilCounterpart in the Witches 5.

** A lot of readers unfamiliar with the timeline mistake Minako for an Usagi rip-off, not realizing that Minako was created a year before ''Sailor Moon''; it's actually the other way around, as Usagi was based on Minako. Those familiar with both series will argue that while both silly {{Genki Girl}}s, Minako is more likely to turn into a drama queen over a situation whereas Usagi will just squat down and cry. In general Minako is more action-oriented than Usagi, and these differences get played up in the ''Sailor Moon'' manga, where Minako plays TheLancer and TheCaptain to Usagi's [[TheHero hero]].
