Thats the point.

Theres literally 3 girls who look identical to Eclair. She could be any one of them, all of them, or even NONE of them.
For all we know, she could be a faceless being with no real identity taking the guise of a random girl connected to the plot of every ep before transforming into Eclair, much like Nijii's disguises.

Hell! Her fairy partner's named Shushutan, as in 'like the wind' or 'a rush of wind'. And wind is quite linked to this kind of 'super mysterious' characters with no real identity.

>>285792292
>4
It's 4.
>>
>>285792292
Eclair is in the OP. All three blue haired girls are most probably red herrings since the similarity is blatant and we'll get an episode with Anna and Mikuru thinking they're Eclair because they look like her, but Elisa and the gyaru at the start of the opening are good candidates since they are less obvious. I'm 100% sure light blue haired girl isn't Eclair

I think yes, or at least it's going to be like 3 eps with cases > 1 ep without case > 3 eps with cases, etc
Obviously the climax episodes with power-ups and such might not have a mystery, or maybe they'll make two-parter mysteries? Who knows for sure.

This will be a season with an unique structure for Precure, might not click with everybody but you certainly can't say "it's just another Precure".

>cures solve the problem by punching the motw really hard
The MotW is the victory lap after solving the case, not really "solving the problem by punching". They need to analyze clues and testimonies.
Thing is, the problem will be more involved in the episodes for this season, closer to Heartcatch. How many eps in the last few years just have a tacked on MotW? Precure has a lot of comfy SoL episodes or episodes where the problem is something that can be solved just by Character A having a heart to heart talk with Character B, and that isn't what's going to happen in Meitantei, it'll have a very specific type of plot progression and apparently each general will have his own gimmick (ala Kira/ST) so there's still variation to come.

I think it's fine to have an "primordial evil" final boss as long as the right-hand general is fun or good.
Thing is, they're kinda doing an in-between thing where they want the final boss to have more character but still don't let them have screentime until the very end.

Anon you're talking to the most basic-bitch contrarian in /pc/, he hates anything popular, he already wants to dislike Arcana Shadow just because he saw tweets liking her, just like he wanted to dislike the movie because he saw that people apparently "cried to it".
People who make disliking popular things their personality think they're "above the sheeple", but they're the most sheeple of them all.

I think Darkiine was just trying to corrupt Meroron. Little did she know that Meroron was already evil.

>bakery uniform eclair pastry connection
>Although diamonds patterns feature on Eclair's outfit, the opening section with the lily (luluka) and butterfly (Eclair) indicate she has a more meaningful connection with that motif
>light blue on school grounds but not in uniform, probably not a student
>Cures rarely wear glasses
>Blue cures almost always have dark hair
>Eyebrows of Light Blue and Green do not follow the top line of their eyelashes, so they do not have the same gentle look as Eclair
Of 6 points, that's 0 against dark blue, 3 against blonde, 4 against green, 5 against light blue. That is not supposed to mean that the others don't resemble Eclair, I'm just focusing on differences between these 4. Also, not scored but I think dark blue is cutest.

HS. Darkiine was at least logically consistent and simple, if overly so, Darkhead was annoying convoluted and seemed to have a completely different motivation to what little was built up. Darkhead getting purified and floating off to who knows where was also dumb whereas Darkiine going good and living peacefully together with Kirakiland was rushed as all hell but made sense thematically.

He wanted a strong host and built Sora up isn't that complicated.
>>
>>285796357
Considering Skearhead was a metaphor for Satan, you literally cannot purify the very essence of evil itself. And yet, they did. That's what makes it dumb. Skearhead is just gonna float somewhere until his evil comes back later.
>>
>>285795800
Like, no one? The girl with the divination fairy is apparently working with the villains, yet she’s still openly acting as a cure and just doing whatever she wants at her own pace. Feels like a mastermind who enjoys role-playing both hero and villain, biding her time while setting up something big in the background. Probably being used (unknowingly) by someone who is close to her. The classic “I thought I was using both sides for my own goals only to realize someone else was using me too” twist.

What does it even mean to be evil?
If you destroy the universe to make everyone suffer and you enjoy their suffering, are you more evil than someone who just wants to destroy the universe because they find it annoying?
Can the case be made that Pierrot is more evil than other final bosses, because he specifically values the BAD END for it's own sake?

>>285796735
If were talking about petty evils rather than big acts of destruction, then I would say villains that use innocent people for their bidding, a bit more common in the movies.
Like the HaCha movie has the big villain making a little girl paraplegic and then using a carrot on the stick trick to scapegoat that "It's all the Precure's fault" so she can generate strong negative energy.

Eh, probably Splash Star's Gohyan. A lot of the villains are either sympathetic villains or are acting out their primordial essences. Gohyan was just a guy that existed before the big bang, found the universe that came into existence annoying, and wanted to destroy everything because it was annoying. You could say Proto-Jikochuu is bound by his very nature to be selfish, Despariah can't just not bring despair, Deusmast is Chaos itself, and even the Dark King and Daruizen had the excuse of not wanting to die even if they were dicks about it. However, Gohyan was just a dick.

Serenae is based for not being autistic like some other fansubbers, he knew the excitement for the movie and delivered it, pristine image quality be damned.
If you add that Meitantei ep1 came out not long after, he translated like 90 minutes of Precure in 24 hours, including new songs for the movie and OP and ED for the Meitantei ep.

>>285801487
It just depends how Toei interprets Arcana Shadow, she could be an "end of cour" Cure and then Eclair is the "true mid-season" (aka ep 17-20) or maybe Arcana joins at 17-20 and then Eclair either joins at the same time, or shes even later.

If we're assuming a duo transformation sequence like the first duo (Answer and Mystique) then it's probably a simultaneous debut?
>>

A debut is a debut, you can't say it's half.
Nyammy debuted earlier even if she joined the team later.

Wouldn't it be refreshing if it was the other way around? The fairy is the student and Eclair (teacher) rigged the paperwork to let her enroll in school because she wants to learn about our world.
If Eclair is an adult, it'd also make it more likely that she has some kind of connection to Mikuru's mother. It'd be good for the plot.

...Posting cute screenshots of the anime of which this is the thread for?
>>
Based on my online search, it's possible that Cure Arcana Shadow is the highest-grossing female anime character in Japan since 2000.

I searched various Japanese news and toy websites using keywords like "sold out" and "pre-order," and apart from "Demon Slayer toys: DX Nichirin Sword Series," I didn't find any other well-known Japanese anime merchandise that sold out completely during the pre-order period or on the first day of its official release.

Therefore, Cure Arcana Shadow may not only be the most profitable character in the Precure series, but may even be the most profitable female character in the entire Japanese anime industry (if sales are limited to a year).

According to Twitter user comments, the sold-out items were found in Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama—Japan's three largest cities—and were sold out at official stores, toy stores, supermarkets, and convenience stores.

I don't think other anime merchandise could be shipped in such large quantities that it would fill the shelves of most supermarkets and convenience stores.

The current popularity of Cure Arcana Shadow products is quite similar to the peak sales of "Demon Slayer".

In any case, neither "Oshi no Ko", "Frieren", nor "The Apothecary Diaries" have ever experienced such a nationwide sales phenomenon for their merchandise.

Was it really that easy all along?
Just make a dark Precure? Was Toei really sitting on this goldmine for over a decade and refused to use it because a few kids cried at a movie?
I wanna say it's also because she's totally not-Fate and that made all the big friends balls and ovaries tingle but Nanoha is a boomer franchise that's old and busted and has failed to revive itself for over a decade now. Can't be that.

Feel free to explain why Anna didn't know about the existence of fairies and Precures while in 1999 Precures have a public detective agency and are common enough knowledge that Mikuru sees Pochitan and recognizes her as a fairy and doesn't tell Anna to hide her.

No one knows why Precure is selling so well this year, not even Toei and Bandai Namco.

The evidence is that Bandai Namco's second-quarter financial report made a conservative sales forecast for Precure, not anticipating a significant leap in sales by 2026.

Toei's third-quarter financial report, released this month, also did not predict substantial growth in Precure's performance.

This indicates that the current sales figures far exceed Bandai and Toei's expectations.

It's still true that all Luluka merch is selling out everywhere, not sure about claims of "most popular female character since 2000" tho, sounds like a bit of exaggeration.

Precure's current sales situation is somewhat similar to that of Demon Slayer.

Neither Aniplex nor Toho initially anticipated that Demon Slayer's sales would be this outrageously high.

Pandemic arc is over.
WP and Kimi to Idol gave the franchise momentum again.
Idol in particular maybe had the perfect theme at the perfect timing since it had more reach to other fandoms and audiences.
This all converges into the moment that Cure Arcana Shadow was revealed.

I think these kinds of theories are lacking in explanations about why the phantom thieves would accept someone like her in their ranks. They are not the kind of thing you just join and then become a high-ranked member of.

Kind of funny how she appeared before people thought black Cures coming back were a possibility. Would be funny if Toei intentionally tested the waters with a half-black Cure just to see what would happen.

John Toei has brainlag and need 20 years to understand that eas or dark precure were popular, prease underesutando.
Really, if not for sunday morning timeslot monopoly, john toei would already bankrupt 40 years ago.

There's actually a very simple way to see the popularity of a cure.
Ignore literally everything about their character and ask yourself if a five year old would buy a doll of this character based on design alone.

example of female designers work: hugtto, delicious party

example of male designers work : marine, arcana shadow

If you want money you know what to do toei.

This. That said, the stuff that's being sold out right now is the big friend pandering stuff. When Toei brings out the $100 rods though, I think little girls are going to devour them all the same.

Purirun and Kokoro have a really great dynamic during her two parter intro and unlike the evil one Purirun actually shows regret and gets upset that she messed up their budding friendship right on screen because she didn't know not all candidates are excited to fight. It was great the animators continued to throw bones while the writers got obsessed with Meroron/Nana.

I guess, but in her case it's a bit more literal.

>>285807060
Puri did start as one of the characters I liked the most. Though Kokoro was pretty quick to steal the 1st place.

About time Nozomi got recognition as the big pink while Nagisa gets to bum it with the blacks.

>>285807308
I don't think she fits the onee-san type. For one, she's tiny. Two, she kinda just left Asuka's issues alone instead of informing everyone what they were that one time.
>>
>>285807344
>Idol for Meroron bucks
They want to make money, not lose it.
Idol and Purirun are the big sellers of Idol.
>>
>>285807344
Meroron is a big deal, you're right. Kids want to be the cool beautiful Cure Kiss, not the handsome Zukyoon.
>>
>>285807083
She's super pretty.
