* TooDumbToLive: Many people in Japan's magical community have trouble comprehending how dangerous {{Magical Girls}} and their villains are.

* WainscotSociety: As noted under {{Masquerade}}, there's an entire society of {{Original Character}} magic-users and magical beings all over the world. As of the start of Usagi's adventures, they have kept up a largely successful masquerade for most of recent human history. However, the sudden onslaught of at least half a dozen groups of magical girl villains, some of them operating on a global scale, and the ensuing pitched battles between magical girl groups and their enemies are punching holes in the masquerade ''fast.''

* CurbStompBattle: The Senshi are much stronger than the typical Pretty Cure villain, to say nothing of ordinary humans, so fights between them tend to be quite one sided.

** Various other world governments are implied or confirmed to have separate government branches that secretively handle magical affairs, as well. Though in many other nations the magical masquerade is kept up by institutions like the IMO that are effectively separate from the mainstream government.

** During the clean up fight at the Cinderella Caravan, Jadeite points a sword at two girls who stumbled upon the scene, threatening their lives if Sailor Moon doesn't surrender. As it turns out, they were Nagisa Misumi and Honoka Yukishiro, aka [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Cure Black and Cure White]], who promptly transform and deliver a lot unexpected pain to the Dark Kingdom general.

** Certain vocabulary used to describe the workings of magic early in the quest hinted at a possible crossover with ''Anime/{{MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha}}. This was later confirmed by the ''Ferreting out the Dangers'' event, and the conspicuous disaster of Nanoha's Episode 3 formed the core of a major crossover event.

[[spoiler: Jadeite, who surrendered to Endymion after the battle at the Shapelin Gym, [[Main/HeelFaceTurn is directly working with them]] now, though.]] Symphogear characters later began to appear more directly.

* BrokenRecord: After their attempt to mind control Neptune backfires Stanenge can only say "i obey Neptune."

* BeamSpam: Usagi is able to combine Moon Sparkling Sensation with an aiming technique of Princess Serenity, one based upon the targeting suit of a Silver Millennium warship. It's able to disintegrate hundreds of leaves falling from the tree in Umari and later knocks out scores of drones during Labyrinth's attack on MCAT's headquarters.

* DoorStopper: At 1.1 million words and counting its quite a hefty read.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Erika is able to find a loophole in the glamor of the Empty Faces, and even the Senshi? How? By habitually observing the suit measurements of everyone she meets!

* CrimeFightingWithCash: Following the Sailor Guardians defeating the youma that infiltrated her busines, [[Anime/DokiDokiPreCure Alice Yotsuba]] makes a deal with the Sailors to provide financial assistance and even provide a base of operations.

** Characters from ''Anime/{{Symphogear}}'' have appeared offscreen as part of MCAT, but so far the Senshi have only directly interacted with one of them over the phone. [[spoiler: Jadeite, who surrendered to Endymion after the battle at the Shapelin Gym, [[Main/HeelFaceTurn is directly working with them]] now, though.]]

** Soular is on the receiving end of one of these, curtesy of Haruka after he conceptually erased "mothers." By the end of the fight he had a broken collarbone and a somewhat crushed arm.

** Minako was cursed by the youma who was betrothed to Shukra[[note]]The Princess of Venus AKA Minako's previous incarnation[[/note]] to never find love.
** As a joke Nuru cursed Usagi to have her first child's hair be as pink as cherry blossoms.
* DefectorFromDecadence: The Akaishi Mountain Oni Wardens flip to the Japanese Government after the Imperial Ministry spends months faffing about the issue of the malfunctioning(?) oni curse doll and MCAT solves the problem in only a few days. Turns out that a group of hereditary prison wardens with little contact with the outside world will eventually feel that they have more in common with their prisoners than with the government that empowered them.

** The Imperial Ministry of Onogoro is a centuries-old splinter government, which rules over the Japanese magical scene, oppressing magical beings and using harsh, even murderous methods to conceal knowledge of magic from the general public and the mainstream Japanese government. Unfortunately, the IMO is more interested in maintaining the masquerade than in actually fighting back against magical girl villain groups.

* {{Hammerspace}}: The Senshi (as well as Naru and Minori) possess this as an as of yet unnamed ability. Usagi uses it to grab things she forgot to take with her like the disguise pen, Rei's able to use to obtain a bag of popcorn and Minori has demonstrated a mastery of it that outshines everyone else seen so far. Minori even calls it hammer place magic.

** Sasorina teleported away in panic when she realizes that Venus and the "blond destroyer"[[note]] Usagi[[/note]] are different persons.
* {{Oni}}: Oni are amongst the yokai populations of Japan. The Imperial Ministry has mostly confined them to four reservations. Their control is enforced by a hereditary garrison and a doll enchanted to spread a disease-curse amongst the oni of Akaishi mountain on command.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation:[[spoiler: Queen Selene reveals that Ikuko Tsukino is the reincarnation of her sister.]]

* {{Telepathy}}: Usagi was recently[[note]]12/7/2023[[/note]] revealed to have this ability, which she used to coordinate who was going to help during the attack on MCAT's headquarters.
