History PlayingWith / InTheNameOfTheMoon

* '''Straight''': Troper Moon is a 15-year old LawfulGood and beautiful MagicalGirl who fights evil monsters on a daily basis. Before she confronts the MonsterOfTheWeek, she always assumes her [[OnceAnEpisode never-changing]] AsskickingPose, goes through a trippy TransformationSequence, uses a [[MagicalGesture signature hand gesture]] and, to underline the [[ForGreatJustice righteousness of her cause]], utters [[PreAssKickingOneliner the line]]: "I am Troper Moon, guardian of the universe. In the name of FiveManBand, MoreDakka and ThisLoserIsYou, I will punish you".
* '''Exaggerated''': Troper Moon cites any single trope on the TV Tropes database so her sequence lasts more than four hours.
* '''Downplayed''': Troper Moon does a very short version of this and just once a season.
* '''Justified''': Troper Moon's [[CodeOfHonour Code of Honor]], based on an AncientTradition, commands her to use exactly this phrase every time and nothing else.
** Troper Moon's CodeOfHonour requires that she announce herself and give her foes an opportunity to surrender before attacking. She just uses the same speech each time because the practice lets her get it out smoothly and without losing focus on her opponent.

** Troper Moon doesn't have a CatchPhrase, but [[PhraseCatcher every villain challenges her in the same way]].
* '''Subverted''': The typical ArtShift for the TransformationSequence appears, but Troper Moon says something completely different instead.

** Troper Moon's CatchPhrase lasts so long, that all the other characters, Troper Venus, Troper Saturn, Troper Jupiter and Troper Mercury, instantly [[NapInducingSpeak fall asleep]].
** Before Troper Moon has uttered the phrase, the MonsterOfTheWeek has already taken over the world.

** The monster of the week is immune to any of Troper Moon's spells and attacks, but its brain immediatley explodes when it's forced to hear the phrase recorded as mp3.

** Any other StockPose or even all of them at once are randomly thrown in for laughs and even Troper Moon can't keep up with them.
** When the monster attacks Troper Moon immediately before she can finish the line, she gets ''extremely'' offended and yells indignantly at it for violating proper battle etiquette.

* '''Averted''': Troper Moon is a magical girl but never says such a line, not even close. The issue is never addressed.

* '''Lampshaded''': After her phrase, Troper Moon says: "Yes, I just said this line, I'm a magical girl, what did you expect?"

** Troper Moon's friends set up an AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield for Troper Moon because they know this significantly increases the probability for her to say this line.
** A [[MentorArchetype wise mentor]] teaches Troper Moon the phrase when she is still a child.
* '''Exploited''': An EvilOverlord uses Troper Moons show for deception and gain/profit.
* '''Defied''': Troper Moon refuses to say the line, even though all of her friend want her to utter it.

** Troper Venus says to Troper Jupiter: "Ah yeah, she said ''this thing'' again" [without giving any further specification].

** Troper Mercury [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the 4th wall]] and tells the audience to "[[TakeOurWordForIt just take their word for it]]".

** By uttering this line, Troper Moon gives away her position and intention to attack and loses valuable time in which the monster can already wreak havoc.

** By uttering it, she more and more loses the trust of her friends because they believe Troper Moon just wants to [[ItsAllAboutMe be important]] without doing anything useful.
* '''Reconstructed''': However, the line is so powerful that the monster still gets intimidated, so it remains a necessary tool for Troper Moon after all.

** Troper Moon is also a JiveTurkey, TotallyRadical, lives in a JuvenileHell and uses tons of GratuitousJapanese.
** Troper Moon's catch phrase is filled with [[{{Innuendo}} innuendos]], [[DoubleEntendre Double Entendres]], [[SexualEuphemism Sexual Euphemisms]], comes with a MatingDance and ends on the line OrAreYouJustHappyToSeeMe.
** Troper Moon goes through an absolutely hilarious psychedelic [[ICantDance dance sequence]] or GratuitousDiscoSequence so that even the monster joins in. Hip techno or disco music optional.
** Troper Moon does a SuperSentaiStance, an UnnecessaryCombatRoll and lots of KnuckleCracking and KineticClicking, even if no monster is ever fought, so that it becomes close to a BigLippedAlligatorMoment.
** Troper Moon isn't mute but is still TalkingWithSigns during the sequence because she thinks this is cool.

** Whenever Troper Moon does it, everybody starts to [[DullEyesOfUnhappiness get sad]], ColorFailure ensues, dramatic music plays and Troper Moon is TryingNotToCry because it reminds her of a past trauma.

** Troper Moon is a HeartbrokenBadass and a StepfordSmiler who does the line to hide that she's a dead-inside EmptyShell.
** Troper Moon does it during a TraumaSwing when [[TheWorldMocksYourLoss The World Mocks Her Loss]].
* '''Gender-Inverted''': Troper Moon is instead a 15 year-old boy.

** Troper Moon isn't mute but is still TalkingWithSigns during the sequence.

* '''Justified''': Troper Moon's [[CodeOfHonour CodeOfHonor]], based on an AncientTradition, commands her to use exactly this phrase every time and nothing else.
