History SailorMoon / TropesTwo

** The ''current'' English translation of the manga by Kodansha USA has its own blunders, as it translates everything rather literally and often produces sentences that no normal English speaker would use, including one instance of overly-literal translation when Usagi calls Motoki, "Motoki Big Bro!", when they could have simply used the appropriate suffix ("-Niisan"), given they already use -chan, -kun, etc. Then there are the spelling errors that tend to litter the translation. ''And'' they get a number of the character's names wrong. For example, Queen Metaria's name was spelled two different ways within the ''same'' volume. They also misspelled the name of one of Rei's crows as "Demos". Most infamous was rendering Jupiter's attack as "Spark Ring Wide Pressure", a mistake ''none'' of the previous official translations have made. They also revived a common fan mistranslation, "Death ''Ribbon'' Revolution", for Sailor Saturn's key attack in the finale of the Death Busters arc. Then there's Sailor Moon using three different invocations during the [=StarS=] manga instead of, "Silver Moon Crystal Power!", which she had used consistently in the Mixx / {{Creator/Tokyopop}} version of [=StarS=]. Basically, while they're better by comparison to Tokyopop for not inventing new names or completely rewriting dialog on a whim, Sailor Moon fans are often left to wonder if a competent, consistent translator will ever handle this franchise.

** When it came time to bring over the Eternal Editions, they decided to make a new translation entirely. Fan consensus is that while the Eternal Edition isn't without its own issues, they're ''very'' minor problems that don't ruin the story, and thus it blows all previous translations out the water, so it's averted at last.

* WeAllLiveInAmerica: In the "Princess Kaguya" manga side story, Himeko mentions being denied a place on the Luna Shuttle's team because the NASA scientists thought a young woman like her "should just get married and settle down." While in Japan such attitudes toward young women are [[OldMaid still fairly prevalent]], in the U.S., such gender attitudes were largely extinct, especially in NASA which had plenty of married and unmarried female astronauts and scientists. In particular, Sally Ride had already become the first American woman in space a decade before the story ran and at the time of her NASA career was married to another astronaut. Furthermore, legal protections against such blatant gender discrimination would end in an easy anti-discrimination lawsuit.

* HotterandSexier:

* TheBodyPartsThatMustNotBeNamed: Sailor Star Maker has an attack called "Star Gentle Uterus", but the first English dub censored the last word into "creator".

* EternalVillain: In the manga storyline, Chaos is this trope, as the source of all evil in the galaxy and orchestrator of all of the bad stuff that happens over the course of the series. Queen Metalia, Death Phantom, Pharaoh 90 and Queen Nehellenia (or Nehellenia's cursed mirror in the 90s anime version) were nothing more than embodiments of its will and it is the entity pulling Sailor Galaxia's strings for much of the story. Sailor Senshi exist across the galaxy and have all been engaged in an epic battle against Chaos. Even after being defeated by Sailor Moon, Chaos has survived, and one day it'll be back to likely fight against the Sailor Senshi for eternity until it finally wins.

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy:
** ''The Lover of Princess Kaguya'' is just painful. When the titular comet disappear from astronomers' view, they believe it got too close to the sun and burned up, which is reasonable enough. But then a supposedly-brilliant scientist says that if the comet burned up, there should have been a rain of shooting stars. While shooting stars can come from solid particles left behind by comets, they have to ''enter the Earth's atmosphere'' to show up as shooting stars; space is big and breaking up near the sun won't do it. Later on, Kaguya says the Earth is 4.5 million years old, rather than 4.5 ''billion.''
** A similar error appears in the Dead Moon arc. Hotaru makes a miniature recreation of the universe, which Haruka says "right now, it's at 46 million years; complete simulation of our solar system."

* BabiesEverAfter: It's hinted that Usagi's pregnant with Chibi Usa by the time of her wedding.

** The Silver Crystal is made partly of Usagi's tears. The Pink Moon Crystal appears from Chibi Usa in a similar manner.

* PottyEmergency: Usagi has one in Act 31.5 while visiting Hotaru, much to Chibiusa's embarrassment. She makes it, though her absence from the room at this particular moment does have some consequences.

* BloodierAndGorier: Fight scenes with Sailor Senshi and antagonists can be more extreme, seen even in early arcs when an antagonist is burned alive. Even the Senshi themselves aren't immune, as a well-known panel of Sailor Moon's face being reduced to nothing but a skull can attest.

** The original English translation of the manga by {{Creator/Tokyopop}} (previously Mixx Entertainment) made many, ''many'' mistakes, especially where names are concerned. For a few examples, Kaolinite is given the title "Magnus" (large) instead of "Magus" (mage), Ptilol becomes "Petite Roll," and the Boule Brothers are translated ''too'' literally into the Artificial Jewel Brothers. Particularly sad is when Hotaru quotes passages of a William Blake poem. The translators apparently didn't recognize it despite the credits given in the story itself and retranslated the Japanese translation into English. Then they made the exact same mistake when a Creator/{{Yeats}} poem appeared in the manga.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The cats are the last of Usagi's allies to be killed off in the ''Sailor Stars'' arc... and unlike the Senshi are promptly forgotten about, never shown to be resurrected and never mentioned or alluded to during the ending. Logic (and hope) dictates that they must have been resurrected or Diana would never have been born -- though the ''Stars'' arc did feature a lot of hints that the future was being erased and nothing was written in stone anymore, so the possibility is always there that she in fact ''wasn't'' born.
