Will she come back?

Have to say, people say the previous season had subtle foreshadowing for the next one but I think it's pretty bold for Meitantei to spend over two dozen episodes on Cure Arcana Shadow to hype people up for Duel Shadow.

All without giving Mikuru a single focus episode!

If Dual Shadows exists because of Cure Supreme and All Stars F, it might have been in the works while Maho 2 was in the late stages of production. That would explain why both Idol and SD got black Cures when it was a restricted color for the longest time.
Based on the presumably mid to late 2027 release though, I think it was probably greenlit and started production after Maho 2 finished airing. Cure Kiss's design being well received might have been the trigger to let the Toei execs approve the project. It would be interesting if there were several ideas floating around for a spinoff project after Maho 2, but a black Cure bring popular was the deciding factor, but that's just a wild guess.
In any case, I hope Dual Shadows is good and leads to more unique spinoff projects. A spinoff project every 2 years would be great.

>>
>>291907525
I don't think any Kobayashi fan is happy about her treatment. The most copium they have left is that after being mistreated for the entire show's run she'll have something in the final arc. When she's stuck competing against everyone else. And the most she can get is an evil twist. Which Arcana Shadow already did in the same season.
>>
>>291907564
Yes, just mention Luluka for everything, typical Kobafag. Get over your inferiority complex already.
>>
>>291907269
You're probably right, the whole return of black Cures probably overlapped with a bunch of factors now that this revealed this project.
If I had to guess, All Stars F becoming the highest grossing Precure movie was probably the beginning of the phenomenon, so the timeline would be something like:

>2023 & early 2024 = All Stars F becomes the highest grossing movie, leading to internal debates as to why it did so well.
>2024 (WP airing, Kimi to Idol pre-production) = They create Cure Kiss and the concept of "villain season" is probably being thrown around, but nothing solid so far.
>early 2025 (Idol airing, Mirai Days airing, Meitantei pre-production) = After the show is done, they both devise Cure Arcana Shadow concept for Meitantei AND get a more solid grasp on the "villain season" concept.
>Arcana Shadow and the Villain Heroines season were pretty much produced simultaneously, but we got to see Arcana Shadow first in 2026.
>>
>>291907589
When did I mention Luluka?
>>
>>291907564
I doubt Mikuru's getting an evil twist. Maybe an incest twist which could be interpreted as evil in a different sense, I suppose.
>>
>>291907525
She will almost definitely get a special treatment leading up to the finale. Her entire origin story is sus. Why does she know about the detective agency and the detective test? Who was her grandmother? What is her relation to Anna?
She is the character with the most amount of mysteries still attached to her. Kobayashi is probably a fake name.

There are opinions, and there are cold, hard facts. The data doesn't lie: SD isn't selling as well as many Precure seasons that came before it. Since the #1 deciding factor of "success" in the mind of Toei is "how much money does thing make", how can Toei correct course and make SD more successful?

Make a real Aikatsu! Precure season.
Precure academy. Large cast of side-characters who are all training to become cures. Cures accept job offers from different worlds based on their abilities. The blue autist main character really admires the top-student Cure and wants to surpass them, but is a huge failure because she hasn't truly understood the power of friendship, until she stumbles upon a cute pink kouhai cure who teachers her about friendship.
Little girls love stories about school since the grass is always greener on the other side. Characters constantly training hard to become stronger cures and better people also makes for a more engaging narrative.
Having older cures as teachers means they can stuff the show full of sexy hags, and maybe even cameos to older seasons.

Is it really too much to ask for a single episode of Mikuru x Kurea and Luluka x Anna?
>>
>>291908454
Every show about heroes does it, including precure.
But it's a theme that can be explored more deeply. Aikatsu has the idols work hard to become better idols in basically every episode, while precure might have a couple of episodes a season where the girls reflect on their roles as cures and think about how to get stronger.
A precure academy season could have the cures fully focus on being cures.

Not an episode explicitly focusing on those two together. It's always Luluka x Kurea and maybe some Mikuru on the side, and Anna x Kurea got an episode when she was still amnesiac. There's a conspicuous gap for Luluka x Anna and Mikuru x Kurea.

>>291908559
Honestly, it's a miracle we got Anna x Kurea.
One of Kimi to Idol's strong points is that along with the expected interactions (Uta x every other Cure, Meroron and Purirun, and Nana and Kokoto), there was substantial Kokoro and Puriun and especially Nana and Meroron interaction. No other season would try something as absurd as that triple date episode. It made the group more cohesive rather than just a trio and a duo.
It's not the worst thing in the world, but SD's team dynamic is mostly just 2 duos with a little bit of effort to let Anna interact with both Kurea and Luluka. It would feel a lot better if Mikuru interacted more with those two, but what little focus is spent on Mikuru is mostly just her being concerned that she's not an adequate partner for Anna.

>The meme "Mr. Toei" is a community nickname used by fans to personify Toei Company and Toei Animation. It originates primarily within international fandoms of Tokusatsu (live-action special effects franchises like Kamen Rider and Super Sentai) and massive anime franchises like One Piece and Dragon Ball.
Whoa, AI has some use after all. I should have guessed that's where it came from.
I bet it's more like Japanese fans call Toei "Toei-san" as in "we respective this company so here's an honorific" whereas English dumdums don't understand nuance and call Toei "Mr. Toei" as if he's a specific individual at Toei.

Mikuru not getting a single focus episode with 10 episodes to go is still pretty wild though
>>
>>291908693
It feels really awkward coming right off of KimiPre because I'm always looking for the episode where Mikuru gets to step forward and there's just nothing there. They tried hard with the idol theme to make sure the girls were all interconnected while keeping Uta as the center. In retrospect it feels like they were making a dig at past seasons by having the Heart Ribbon style superform mostly job while Uta's real superpower was her friends and the bonds she made with everyone else along the way.
>>
>>291908764
Why would I want to do that?
>>
>>291908651
I personally think the twist is something kind of big. Not as big or ridiculous as Mikuru being outright evil, but maybe something still crazy like Mikuru being the twin of Anna's mom (who is pretty much perfect character wise and makes Mikuru feel inadequate just by existing), and Mikuru knows Anna is her niece because she already knows that Akechi-kun is into Anna's mom.

The fun thing about Precure is that you don't have to move on. As long as new merch and All Stars movies keep coming out, no previous Precure season is ever "obsolete" or "outdated". TR will remain as relevant as every other "older than 2 years so it no longer shows up in the most recent non-All Stars movie" season.

I already explained why Kimi to Idol's group dynamics were a lot more interconnected, but Wonderful did have both substantial Komugi and Yuki bonding and Mayu shipping Iroha and Satoru to make the group feel a bit more cohesive than SD's.

Thinking about it, if the eye catch is any indication then EP41 should be a Mikuru episode.

They might be friends and a Precure quartet but the Makoto Mirai branch is divided in two distinct groups of two cures and two fairies and that is by design considering the Pre-Kits and the merchandise.

>>291908651
She is most likely Anna's mom and either Mafuru's granddaughter or the one that knows her best among the Makoto Mirai branch folks, if we go too deep with her we are likely to touch on the big mysteries of either the past or the future.

It is pretty farfetched, but there are a couple of reasons I'm entertaining it.
>Mikuru not wanting to talk about her family for some reason
>Anna not recognizing Mikuru as her mom despite looking so similar
Mikuru might not really like talking about her family and her twin sister by extension since she fears the people she knows preferring her sister over her, and while Anna not asking why Mikuru looks like her mom is weird, she might be intuitive enough to not mistake her own mom for her identical aunt on an instinctive level.

I don't think Toei needs to panic yet. After strong upward sales movement like what we've seen recently, a consolidation is natural as the market digests the influx of new content. 1Q sales pretty consistent with a Fibbonacci retracement, we'll see which line we end up on.

In this scenario, a panic overreaction from Toei in 2027 is possible if they make quality cuts and/or last-minute unorthodox decisions >>291908114 in anticipation of permanently lower base sales. However, given the other obvious bullish signals, a complete breakdown seems unlikely. In 2028 I expect a return to form as leveler heads (and dinosaurs?) prevail and resume the march to new highs. The only real challenge on the horizon is the Heartcatch high of 130.

>>291908671
the problem is that they shouldnt be doing that.

Toei's idea is 'Yeah, revealing the truth about Mikuru at the very last episode (which clearly is their plan) will shock the people the most', but the point is that people want for the story to elaborate on those things. see how Anna would react, How Mikuru could react. and develop the story about it. not just make it a throwaway plotpoint

Anna and Mikuru are being labeled by Jett, Luluka and Kurea as 'the miraculous duo', but if they are denying any sort of development for the sake of making sure the big twist everyone already knows (and thats IF they are still planning said twist) is revealed at the very last moment. then that title is downright pointless.

I just want some focus to make it feel emotional when it currently feels like a shocking twist for a side character instead of what should've been one of the lead characters.

Anna and Mikuru should've had leading roles integrating Luluka and Kurea, not stumbling over and handing everything to them.

Actually not doing the typical pink routine of helping to convert the general is interesting, not that I have something against the trope since it has some of my favorite moments, so on principle alone I'm in favor of doing something different.
She just needed something else going on, an overlapping plot thread to look foward to besides the mom aspect. I won't deny that Mikuru deserved more even if I like Meitantei.

Yunico (writer for mygojica) did 6 episodes for Kimi to Idol, that's not even counting that Toei themselves did Girls Band Cry, so they're probably aware of what ressonates with the 13 years old and up target audience.

To be honest, we're talking about the spin-off for older fans. Yunico being the main writer for Twin Shadows wouldn't surprise me at all.

It's an animated spinoff as opposed to a live action spinoff such as Dancing Star, so it's somewhat more likely to appeal to oyaji and yurifags as opposed to old hags that want straight romance or maybe even yaoi.

Doki Doki ended up being a Digimon Savers spinoff in the end after the novel, so it's sometimes true that a writer's previous work ends up relevant. I agree that a writer's non-Precure work generally doesn't really inform how a Precure work that they end up writing turns out though. Kimi to Idol wasn't particularly similar to Aikatsu, and it's not like the Precure seasons that have toku writers are all that similar to the toku those writers have written.

WHY IS LULUKA STILL HOLDING DA AISU
YOUR CAKE IS ALREADY FINISHED AND THERE'S NO ROOM FOR FIVE SCOOPS OF ICE CREAM

Also, using AI to mimic 3DCG MADs is absolutely infuriating on so many levels, yet it took me around 20 seconds of watching the thing to actually notice it was AI, not only because the transitions were so smooth but because it nearly perfectly mimics so many amateur 3DCG videos I've seen previously on niconico.

Are these people actual AI devs with unlimited gens and access to private AIs that aren't even public yet, or is someone seriously spending thousands of dollars in credits every month to make these?

4chan has to ban japanese IPs cuz the futaba schizos keep coming here to spam their AI garbage.

I will consider it a yuri win if Luluka and Kurea haven't settled down with some guys in present days.

Same way it is unrealistic for a cutie like Mirai to stay single in college.

The idiot posting that trash isn't the one who made it, he just saved it on twitter and posted it here for the purpose of annoying you

This might hurt a few of you's feelings but serenae is an awful dogshit subber. Most of the time its straight up incorrect and they translate proper nouns literally. Just garbage.

I've noticed he's been more liberal in recent seasons but he's still a lot better than CR and he definitely doesn't translate names literally like the guy who did Maho did. The effort he puts into the typesetting alone deserves praise.
>>
Yeah, sorry Serenae but I'd rather take a professional licensing company over your slow AND shitty subs. Even I can tell when you straight up make mistakes (which is all the time). Maybe take a semester of Japanese sometime.

iirc Garugaru also had a retarded direct translation
