* CluelessAesop: Okay, Heart over Duty isn't such a bad Aesop. Unfortunately we're talking about ''princesses'' - and they've already been betrothed. They can't just run off with a bunch of soldiers. But apparently it's okay because your personal happiness is more important than the fate of your father's empire and the lives of his millions of subjects, and the millions of subjects of the neighbouring kingdom. Even though you haven't known these soldiers much longer anyway. Come ''on'', Mei.

** This is in stark contrast to the DeliberateValuesDissonance in the firs first movie, where at the beginning, Mulan is dutifully preparing for the prospect of a marriage being arranged for her.her. This makes her adamant opposition to arranged marriages in this film even more startling. In fact, marrying for love is seen as a relatively recent (not to mention Western) phenomenon, with arranged marriages being present throughout almost all of human history, and is still the norm in some parts of the world.

* BirdsOfAFeather: The princesses and their guardians get along very well.
* CannotSpitItOut: Shang, at the beginning, has trouble proposing to Mulan. The giggling little girls around him do not help his nerves.
* CharacterDevelopment: Shang, who, [[GenderInvertedTrope unusually,]] is wiser than his fiancee.
* DeusExMachina: Employed in the original style as Mushu climbs into an idol of the Unity Dragon and makes supposedly divine pronouncements (punctuated with a bit of fire-breathing) that neatly resolve what has become a very tangled situation.
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Shang.]] It is easy to {{infer|redSurvival}} that he survived but the characters believe he was dead.

* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: When Shang finally meets Mushu, near the end of the movie, he reacts like this.

* GilliganCut: "Fearless, loyal, and disciplined... China's most honorable and noble soldiers..." are seen kicked out of a matchmaker's shop.
* GrayRainOfDepression: [[spoiler:After Shang's fall.]]
* HappilyMarried: Mulan and Shang at the end.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Shang.]] The princesses can also be seen as performing this, as they risk their happiness for political alliance.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Lampshaded with Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po after having been told by the matchmaker that none of them would ever find matches for themselves:
-->'''Chien-Po:''' I guess I'll spend my life with you two.\\
'''Ling:''' Pass the hanky.

* InstantFanclub: Mulan's girl followers.
* {{Jerkass}}: Mushu turned into this, mostly because Mulan's ancestors were jerkasses towards him.

* OppositesAttract: Mulan and Shang; her parents give the pair 'ying yang marriage advice' at the start.
* PandaingToTheAudience: Yao's gift to Mei is a stuffed panda.
* PassThePopcorn: Mushu sits in a tree eating popcorn after Shang approaches Mulan to confront her about how she got the princesses to follow their hearts.
* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: In regard to its "arranged marriage = bad" campaign and the fact that Mulan ''got away'' with practically kidnapping the princesses and allowing them to marry commoners.
* ThePowerOfLove: Supported by PoliticallyCorrectHistory and a tricky dragon.
* SupernaturalAid: [[spoiler:Mushu's trick of pretending to be the Dragon of Unity resolves the final problem.]].
* SmallReferencePools: Presumably how the writers had the balls to have [[Creator/HenrikIbsen "My duty is to myself"]] as the Aesop.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Mushu becomes selfish and demanding. This is because the ancestors did the same, [[spoiler:the marriage threatened to separate him from Mulan]] so he tried to prevent that with sabotage.
* TrainingFromHell: Averted by Mulan, who begins teaching the girls to fight by telling them that one should be gentle and kind to others. It's a possible inversion of the scene with Shang from the first part of the film and part of the 'yin-yang' motift of this movie.
