What could Mikuru's secret possibly be?
Kobasoon
>>292109765She's been using a fake name and has a twin
>>292109867Doesn't the detective book add their name to it automatically? As for a possible twin, no.It's probably just that Mafuru is her grandmother.
The Koba's aren't koba-ing
Surely now, at episode 42, will the fabled Akechi-kun make his appearance as Mikuru reveals that she is engaged to Anna's father.
>>292109765She is from 2999.
>>292110057who fucked Anna's mom isn't a mystery the actual characters are concerned about
She started the Phantom Thieves. Usonoir is her fairy
>>292110147I was thinking that Usonoir could be her dad. Somehow.
>>292110187>dad steals things>daughter gets it back for money
Is Kurea straight?
Oh...
>>292110613This hiding episode titles thing is starting to get annoying. Has any other season done it this much before?
With style
>>292109765Amazing image.>There's no kobayashi? You gotta be kidding me I got boxes full of kobayashi!
>>292110646>how dare the mystery season hide things
>>292110646the tutorial has concluded. Please figure the rest out yourselves
>>292110735Not what I said at all but you know that.
>>292110856It is tho
>>292110646I never liked title spoilers anyways.
>>292110646It's normal for that magazine to hide the titles of the last episode of the month and the first episode ot next month. It's only unusual if the title hidden despite the episode summary also being there.
>>292111343I know it usually hides the first one of the next month but I don't remember it doing that for the last episode of the month.
Inb4 Mikuru is one of many Mafuru clone babies
What's Postcure going to be?
The real Mikuru Kobayashi is dead and she's just a fairy taking her place.
>>292111682Damn fairies, kidnapping children to turn into detectives and leaving changelings in their place.
>>292111682Kobaclones
The way she acts make me think she did something she's ashamed of, but the fact Mafuru doesn't act any way it all makes it seem like it's a nothingburger actually and Mikuru is overreacting
https://may.2chan.net/b/res/1446166718.htm>Posts 47 and 49 are photoshopped fanfictions.They're having too much fun with this.
>>292111847>nips agree with my theory that Eliza is the big bad
>>292111642Posture Cure
>>292111845here we go again!
>>292111845Assuming Mafuru does know, I could see her respecting Mikuru's feelings to play along with her attempts to hide whatever she's hiding even if it's not that big of a deal objectively.
>>292111888Sora was worried about killing her hero. That's not nothing. She didn't have the knowledge that a purification might work.
Clearly, Mikuru wants to become a detective to try to avenge her dead grandma. She's been hiding it all of this time because everyone else has selfless and idealistic reasons to become a detective while she sees herself as a selfish bitch for being filled with vengence.
Everyone likes Kokoro, right?
>>292112240I don't see it. Mikuru doesn't have an anger like that.
>>292112273Sorry, there were too many background characters in Uta and Idol Precure. Who are you talking about?
>>292111642Posterior Cure
>>292111888is this a reference to something? Swear I've seen this image before, but it's not coming to me now
>>292112227Happy puppy
Wasn't there one anon that insisted that there was 0 proof that Mikuru was hiding anything important?
>>292112273Many old men do
>>292112735Would love to nibble on her papaya seed.
>Bravo! You finally figured it out! Yes, it was me, ELIEza! I'm the writer of the Book of Prophecy, the one behind of this silly little tale of mysteries and lies!
>>292111888You know what they say, the sky is the limit.Too bad she's on the fucking floor
This isn't proof of anything, but if Mikuru's secret that she reveals on episode 42 really is that she's an orphan, that would be the same episode that the first orphan Cure revealed that she was an orphan.
>>292112969Happening
>>292112973Accepting Mashiro's futacock.
>>292112969>Eliza Christie is the only one named after a writer rather than a fictional detective/criminalWhat does it mean?
>>292113017God I wish
I've always found it odd that Mikuru is illiterate in English despite having said she lived there.
>>292113093It's kind of weird how easy that is to gloss over. I honestly just assumed she was a very sheltered kid while she was being raised by her grandma.
>>292113093I just assumed she sometimes visited her grandmother.
>>292113093Yeah it's totally unbelievable some kid didn't learn the language of the country they lived in for a whileDefinitely does not happen millions of times all over the world

>>292114968-snort- okay anon
I don't see how Mikuru could be lying about anything. She always comes off as super honest and she feels like someone that would make a mistake if she was hiding a big secret.

Dancing Star 3 Review: “A finale that is a bit too Pretty Cure”A few days ago I finally saw Dancing Star 3 and I came out of it a bit mixed on it. Going in I knew that I certainly wouldn’t have loved it as much as I loved Dancing Star 2 (which I personally consider a masterpiece of the Magical Girl genere) but I wouldn’t say I was necessarily disappointed by it either, since this last entry is (as far as I can tell through the fan-made translation) still a perfectly solid conclusion to the Dancing Star Story.More than anything else I’d say that this finale gets full points in how much it adheres to the structure of Pretty Cure finales and the way the message of Hope winning against Despair gets delivered. There is even a “miracle light” moment at one point in which the audience is asked to cheer for the Cures in the moment of upmost danger, which I think about gives you an idea on how the story fully embraces all of the Pretty Cure conventions, usually for the better… but not entirely so. In this sense Dancing Star 3 feels more similar to Dancing Star 1 since they both come across a lot more like a “generic Pretty Cure Stage Show”, as (unlike Dancing Star 2) neither of them mange to leverage all of their unique elements to create a story the main anime could never possibly tackle; but they rather settle for a still perfectly respectable, but not as innovative, transposition of the franchise’s key elements into this new format
>>292115261As such Dancing Star 3 comfortably stays into these more familiar territories for the franchise, as its central theme is “grief over losing a loved one”. Yet the way it handles it doesn’t feel too dissimilar from the way the main anime has presented the same storyline in the past. The only major difference between them is the situations presented in Dancing Star are a lot more “brutal” but the actual plot beats the characters go through to accept their grief are all something we’ve seen a handful of main Cures also go through in the past. This doesn’t mean that the way Dancing Star handles it is bad in any way, but it’s just not as fleshed out compared to what it could have potentially beenI think that the reason for this missed potential is that Dancing Star 3 seems to REALLY be short on time. Despite the 3 hours of run-time the show needs to give space to no less than 4 major storylines! Cure Top’s storyline, The “Victim of the day” storyline (which is tied to Top’s), Pas De Deux’s (the fairy) storyline, and the general plot tied to the main villain.That’s a lot of stuff to balance, and frankly all of these stories could have easily be turned into their own stage shows but as they are forced to share the same 3 hours, it can sort of feel like they end up competing for relevance.I think the only fix for this would have been added run time to spread out the storylines better, since even if it never feels as if time is being wasted and the storylines do blend into eachother very seamlessly, in my eyes the real problem is that the characters (and by extension the audience) aren’t allowed to just sit with the uncomfortable feelings for a long enough time to really make them sink in before moving on to the next plot point.
>>292115264This issue also sort-of blends into another problem this stage show tends to have, as it generally doesn’t take the fullest advantage of live-tether’s unique strengths (like the aforementioned ability to strongly convey the character’s inner feelings), but on the contrary actually, due to the show fully embracing the PrettyCure-style-finale it can feel (especially in the final act) that the story actually highlights the weaknesses of its medium, as the finale hinges a lot of wider-world building elements which are a bit out of the scope of what theatre can portray.Nonetheless however, the show manages to give very meaningful and well-earned conclusions to all of its characters. From the main Cures to the secondary characters to returning cast members, Dancing Star 3 offers plenty of full circle moments that ultimately gives the whole story a sense of completeness that can be sort-of-rare to find in Pretty Cure.The tight nit nature of all the plot-lines explored across its 3 instalments allows for their natural consequences to be displayed with remarkable consistency. Character development gets carried over effortlessly as it truly feels that all of the souls populating this stage show have experienced precise mile-stone events, both good and bad, that shape who they are and how they act moment-by-moment (something the main shows with their 16 hours of total runtime spread across 50 episodes can’t really achieve to the same effortless degree).Even if this last instalment might feel overly busy at times, the upside of this plot-lines galore is that it truly feels like nothing went-unaddressed. There isn’t any-one character you can point to and say “well they got kinda shafted by the writing” like it can sometime happen in regular Pretty Cure seasons. In Dancing Stars, although the spotlight isn’t divided mathematically to the point of perfect equality, each-and-every-character manages to go through a consistent development at their own pace.
>>292115270Some characters get to have the stage all to themselves in certain occasions, others find their growth through interactions with other characters, while others still quietly develop in the background; but they all find their own dimension of inner-change in the way that suits them bestParticularly meaningful to the overall message of the show is the way with which EACH character is allowed to hold on to and cherish their own personal form of, usually rather “raw”, despair while at the same time also managing to directly impact the narrative when the situation calls for it PRECEISELY BECAUSE of that uniqueness in prospective brought about by their personal struggles.It's precisely this aspect that gives this ending a different, more human, “cut” to the Dancing Star finale compared to the main-show! Especially in light of a final-big-bad that’s a lot less of a “demonic-entity” as per franchise tradition and more of an actual person on which the ideological differences between him and the cures find fertile ground to flourish, offering a more engaged form of the series’ usual “Hope VS Despair” philosophical discourse fit for the adult demographicSo in conclusion: Dancing Star 3 does not take the concept of what Pretty Cure is allowed to be any further than what its prequels have already done, yet thanks to the very strength of those previous instalments and its decision to elaborate on the franchise’s more well-oiled traditions and thematics, it manages to successfully land an ending that transfer the series’ core themes into a more mature register; even if the singular elements that make up the greater whole of this 3rd instalment could have used more individual time in the spotlight
>>292115261>which I personally consider a masterpiece of the Magical Girl genereWeird thing to say about something that doesn't have any girls in it.
>>292115275Boys can be magical girls too
>>292115294No, those are called magical boys.

>>292115419My instincts say it's fake, but maybe Toei really is abusing AI for Precure kek.

https://x.com/Nyaken/status/2118312663432523866Japanese fans opinions are turning against KureaCountless movie goers think Arcana Shadow was right.
>>292115087I did get distracted with all of the Luluka and Kurea stuff, but I've always found her suspicious ever since she brushed off why she knew about fairies and Precure in episode 2.
>>292115963I still think she is a forgotten race fairy masquerading as a young looking Mafuru
>>292115963>she brushed off why she knew about fairies and Precure in episode 2.One did help her before.
Three years ago there no other detective precureThe cure that Mikuru met is dead
>>292116132Mafuru is still around.
>>292116157Mafuru is the one that told them that there are no precure anymore
>>292116178So did she stop being a cure then?
>>292116194Now that I think about it Agein could actually be her fairy that betrayed her and that's why she needs someone else to be a cure
>>292115273>Dancing Star 3 does not take the concept of what Pretty Cure is allowed to be any further than what its prequels have already doneStage 2 is exceptional in a way Hugtto is if you like certain topics, which I suspect the person writing this is more sensible to.Stage 3 neatly brought closure to the first boy Precure story and that was most important. With the Party event last summer I felt very satisfied with the conclusion of that series.

What a cutie!
>>292117859Wow that's sexy
>>292111888Did Mashiro at least kiss her after this?
>>292111845It's probably more like Mikuru's pretending to be something she's not and Mafuru has no idea about it because she doesn't even know her.
>>292118658she does, she's just being discreet to not reveal anything that could ruin Mikuru's resolve

>>292118658>Mafuru has no idea about it because she doesn't even know her.Unless Mafuru lost her memories I don't see how she can't know Mikuru. Mikuru does seem to know her so there has to be some kind of connection between them.
>>292118700>>292118658I'm not really sure which scenario is true. I could see her being great at pretending she doesn't know anything about Mikuru because that's how she shows her love or literally knowing nothing about Mikuru because Mikuru's issues with Mafuru are one sided.
>>292118779Why is Kurea making out with Anna's mom

>>292118900They believed that Daruizen/Nodoka was unironically a thing while HG was airing. That's infinitely worse than any crackship yurifags have had, even the incest ones.

>>292119934>>292118900Stop talking to yourself.
>>292119934True.
>>292115261I know this is a reddit/twitter copypaste but I imagine part 2 is the pinnacle?Also I don't see the problem with repeating a message of grief when it has been done so few times, it's weird that we have archetypes or ideas that repeat a lot, but when they repeat something that has been done once or twice (like how Laura got called a Milk clone at first) suddenly is labeled a rip-off or whatever.

>>292120475I saw that earlier. There's no way they would release any significant info this early, right?
Is it true that the kids loved Bunbee so the crew decided to keep him around?
>>292120475That producer loves to talk a lot, I can see that being true.
>>292120551Maybe they could hint at the themes/vibe without naming anything specific.
Spammer really does spend all day on xitter
>>292120565Yeah, as long as they don't name specific staff or character/plot details before Toei okays it, they should be fine. It would be neat if they confirmed if the staff has substantial Precure experience or not, but even that might be too much info.
Villain Heroines, written by NaritaThe good guys are boy Cures and they interact with the bad girls a lot
>>292120594>Muh boysssThis is your entire personality, isn't it?Or is it your favorite shitposting angle?
I'm a big boy now
>>292112969Why did she do it, bros?
>>292120593It would be hype if they got the MyGO or Girls Band Cry writer since both have worked with Toei already. They can write angst with good character interactions, and I think the nature of the spin-off would fit their style even better than a mainline season.
>>292120594I could see something like this happening since Michiru and Kaoru was Narita's idea. I don't think so though since if she writes a non-traditional Precure story, she tends to go soap opera (like HaCha and Otona). Dual Shadows gives me more of a chuuni than a soap opera impression.
>>292120651She's already written for Precure anyway, would be a good fit
>>292120651>>292120666I think writing a few episodes is enough experience to become a writer for a spinoff season. People have become main scriptwriter with less direct Precure experience.
>>292120678Moron
>>292120651Fuck off.
>>292120720The MyGO writer literally made multiple Idol episodes, meanwhile GBC is a Toei property.It's not even unrealistic.
>>292120709>>292120720She is a very well accomplished writer in her own right, Toei is making a smart decision
>>292119679Vunderbar*sucks forehead*
>>292120666>>292120651Please no, yunico gushes about Hayacoco (from D4DJ) and shit all day but she has unironically never wrote a gachi yuri (read lesbian) herselfpretty sure she has done more het at this point despite saying she wants to write yuri all the timebiggest underachiever in anime
>>292120734What's the point of talking to yourself for several posts?
>>292120733>>292120734Don't spam replies at me. Fuck off with your garbage.
>>292120743She writes stealth yuri. Literally the only thing stopping her is bushiroad giving the greenlight for D4DJ but not the other IPs.
>>292120744>>292120748It would be very cute to see her write yuribait for the precure villains
>>292120748If you're just going to tryhard your opinion without any rhyme or reason, then you aren't fit for a social forum.Better to look at the mirror and talk to yourself, it would be the same thing.

>>292120809Not only that but when Elle gets taken to the park by the others Sora dresses up as a baby in Elle's clothes and pretends to be a baby being babysat by Mashiro including getting breastfed by her
>>292120709The Fresh, HC, Suite, and Doki writers never wrote for any Precure episodes before they did their season, and the only Precure thing the Idol writer did was the Wonderful movie (which he may only have done because he was already working on Idol by the time the movie started production). They all have substantial non-Precure writing experience beforehand, but the Suite writer is interesting because I think he's only written for live action before he worked on Suite.
>>292120800Of course he is.
>>292120891Cute but the hugging direction is entirely wrong
>>292120885>Suite writer is interesting because I think he's only written for live action before he worked on Suite.Kamen Rider also has some interesting examples, like how you writers that also wrote for anime-only, writers that wrote for live-action-only, a mix of both BUT also writers that were mostly known for novels/books.

>>292120817Yuniko's Idol episodes are either about the Cures being gay or Kaito missing his ex, with both happening in episode 31.Episode 23 had that TV interview Kaito did which was the first substantial hint that the person Kaito was longing for used to be his bro.

>>292120987>Yuniko's Idol episodes are either about the Cures being gay lol anon please, the pajama party episode (08) had that kiss fakeout and Kokoro gushing all over the girls taking photos, and she also wrote the date episode (15).

>>292121352What the actual fuck?
>>292121352What did he mean by this?
>>292122201>she's clearly magentaMagenta implies she has a lot of blue in her hair, but then that would mean an anon might be color blind making the blues a more gray, thus a more muted red.I disagree, its solidly red, just not pure bright red.

>>292113599I am so mad we didn't get bloomers in the 1999 season.At least we get swimsuits occasionally, still
>>292121735Yui is part of the main cast and appears more than Towa, she doesn't belong there
>>292122654
>>292122719Yeah that's what I thought too
>>292122712There are people who complain that HaCha didn't do the international theme enough even though there are international dances every episode
>>292122755My initial theory was that they wanted to save the Cure names for main Cures in later seasons but apparently the International Precure still got Cure names regardless
>>292122741NO I DON'T WANNA GO TO THE KIGS FACTORY YAMETE
>>292122755They had one singular episode dedicated to one of the 15+ International Cure Teams, and then only brought them up at the very, very end. Most of them spent their time stuffed into refrigerators(coffins) and this was never treated as a pressing issue.>dancesohhhhh my gooood they're moving their bodies this is just like an international dance!!!This is like saying every season is international because they wear western clothes and eat western foods like sandwiches.Holy shit what a reach. I don't even think people reached that hard while it was airing.
>>292121755>>292121735You compare the designs of the Wonderful, Idol and Star Detective classmates and they're light years ahead of the others.The point of discussion was recurring classmate characters with great designs, not one-off classmate of the episode who blends in with the scenery and is never seen again and you're not even sure what her name was. That's why it's a modern Precure trend, of course there always have been classmate characters but they haven't notable like in recent years.
>>292122709Cute but too tall
gay babies
>>292122712*smooches*Her date episode made her my fave of the team for a while back when I was watching her season, but I completely forgot how that episode went
>>292122887Okay? That doesn't refute the fact that international dances frequently appeared, unlike all other seasons
Alice is so cool.>>292122755People wanted them to go around the world to help other cure teams.
>>292122929RIP Mashutan
>>292122865Sh. No struggling.
>>292122941The target audience doesn't care about your country or know where it is
>>292122937555-Come-On-NowMy favorite international season... Laura's show.
>>292122980They do a few different "tropical" dances
>>292122980Twerking, the most international of all dances...
>>292122968They sure invested lots of effort into making pretty cure teams for those areas. That's why people were disappointed, and it wasn't just us. You can look back at the pixiv tag for HaCha and still see mountains of fanart for all the one-off side teams that get made to this day.>>292122930The Date wasn't that great imo. It was more the cures reaction to it that made that episode.
>>292122910I could imagine her being tall and lithe. Her mom was an ex-ballerina after all. Wait maybe not lithe. Tall but klutzy. Could be a disastrous combo
It was nice that the Bomber Girls got a little more than everyone else at least.
>>292122964
>>292123009They also wear western clothes, eat western foods, and are in some kind of version of Hawaii. It's more international than all of Hacha combined. HaCha is just a really poorly planned season. Some parts are really, really good but those parts never stay around long enough to get anywhere. Perfect example is the breakup with Blue and Phan being forgiven in just one episode. >>292123064Yeah and the Hawaii team got an entire episode. But that was it.
>>292121920>>292122006>>292122093>All women No surprise none of you get it, I'm wasting time dropping jewels in this general.
>>292123031That doesn't actually prove large scale disappointment from the japs>They sure invested lots of effortI don't know what you mean here, they used the same standard design as the main cures and just changed it a bit
>>292122968That's not really the point you know.
>>292123101Oh yeah the entire Pretty Cure graveyard subplot. I forgot that like 40 14 year old girls were put on ice/dead for possibly years and the show never even mentioned that after Phan was defeated.
>>292123031>invested lots of effort>literal background characters
>>292123101In Tropical Rouge the cures are in Japan and act like ordinary Japanese people. You seem to have forgotten that Japan is an island country.>the breakup with BlueWhat do you mean? Also generals usually get forgiven in five minutes
I don't think it was a massive complaint but there sure was potential
>>292123106>>292123127>I don't know what you mean hereEvery single cure team got its own precure name + design theme based around their locale. You're acting like background characters get this treatment, they don't. The hawaii cures don't look like the bomber girls don't look like the Indian cures. This is a ton of effort for something never mentioned again outside of cutaways with Yuuko. Yuuko being the only one that had the idea of going around the world to help for some reason.
>>292123178Do you realize that these designs take about an hours to make? As far as I know they didn't design 3d versions of any of them.
I wonder if anon realizes that spending dozens of episodes on other cures would make the usual complaints about focus skyrocket
>>292123170No, it was a huge complaint while it was airing. The next biggest problem was "This plot with Blue sucks and he's a paper mache cutout that the girls are falling in love with" which may be the biggest complaint. The plot hinged on multiple girls crushing on Blue but we know nothing about him because the show decided that wasn't important.I can't believe I'm living in newfag times where people are defending Happiness Charge. When it aired it was unanimous that it was one of the worst seasons ever.
complaints precure
At least the international cures got some animation. Hime's entire kingdom was relegated to one panning still frame.
>>292123106>That doesn't actually prove large scale disappointmentWould anything prove that to you?
>>292123241Not that focusing on the four did any good. Can you remember a single character moment of Yuuko? Give you a hint: besides oshii gohan, there isn't one. Maybe it's for the best it didn't focus on them because it didn't seem to give anyone focus who wasn't Megumi or Hime.
>>292123271Oh yeah I forgot, her own parents got two whole frames of animation and no voice. I think the two frames may have been a hug and a mouth flap
At least we got to focus on Megumi changing her mind about which boy she's crushing on for the 10th time. I remember really liking the generals, too.
>>292123276I don't know, maybe a vote or something
>>292123287Apparently Honey went on a world tour assisting all of the international teams to help turn the tide globally against Phantom but none of it is ever shown and Blue just mentions it offhand one time in the middle of a conversation with Megumi about why she's sad about not having a goal. If that had been a couple of Honey focus episodes I think less people would have complained about international cures being squandered, and also about Honey being barely a character. I still love her though. My lovely singing bowl of rice wife.
>>292123241Not really. You could have Hime doing a lot of fun things with the international Cures. Less of the Megumi crush would be better and U2 never had much focus anyway.>>292123287She had that episode with the old lady and the bird and there was her relationship with Phantom.
>>292123271>>292123304I will never forgive HaCha for that.>>292123330Or you can listen to the people that were around back then. Most people don't make up things like that here.
>>292123332YuuYuu was a real character, idiot
>>292123327Is Megumi bimbo coded?
>I will never forgive [anime season] for that.middle aged man btw
>>292123348>taking away focus is okay when it's the cures I don't like
Having said all this, HaCha is still my favorite season. It was ambitious and it still did a lot of things well.
>>292123332I would have loved some Honey focused episodes. I do like Yuuko and her design, even if its' flat as a board unlike Yuuko.>>292123377in theory, as others have noted: she got one episode she shared with Phantom and all of her adventures were done off-screen. The adventures that would have really helped build Honey and HaCha as a story and a show instead of focusing on Megumi being a sad, directionless idiot for the Nth time.
Yuko used to be least fave of the team because she had no character growth or conflict but she would became my fave after the fact when I think back to her motherly personality
>>292123287Your memory issues are not a flaw of any shows you're trying to criticize, they're very much a you problem
>>292123377It's a very common complaint that U2 barely got anything.
>>292123414It gets a lot more shit than it deserves. It's a lot more competent season than several of reiwa Precure seasons.
Did Hime have lunch in a restroom because that was very fucked up
>>292123425What is with people like you and thinking a character can't be a real character unless they get focus episodes?
>>292123414Being ambitious doesn't mean crap if you can't stick the landing.
>>292120172Would Nozomi be creeped out or offended if I said that she's hot and I want to have sex with her
>>292123444Okay. That's still my subjective opinion
>>292123374>Most people don't make up things like that here.I think they do.
>>292123445Not him but why do you keep denying what people are saying? It's almost like you want to argue.
>>292123386Megumi is one of the biggest bimbos to ever star in Precure. She's WAY more of a bimbo than Nozomi who was made to be the cute idiot character who had big dreams. That's okay, there's nothing wrong with that for a character, but they should have selected when they were going to have Megumi steel herself to find her own way instead of having 2-3 fake-outs of her becoming ambitious and then hitting a bump that undoes all of that. Remember when she thought she gave up on Blue just to go straight back to him in like the last 20 episodes? This is probably very accurate for a woman but makes for a very dull character.
>>292123491I didn't deny anything in that post though, I just expressed confusion
>>292123491>angry, passive aggressive response
>>292123445>people like youWanna tell us some more made up shit from your crystal ball?
>>292123514Why are you so upset?
>>292123444She did hide in a restroom because she had social anxiety not because she was ostracized. Don't think it was specifically during lunchtime though
>>292123477oops. meant for >>292123460>>292123444Yes she did. That whole social anxiety arc was pretty fun.
>>292123386>he used the forbidden wordBut no. If she was a bimbo, why would Seiji be in love with her?
Timeline of Toei hero shows, Precure was displayed as well.
>>292123445NTA I can answer because I'm apparently a "people like you": If you don't give characters some focus, or even some space to develop, they don't develop. Like what happened to Yuuko where almost all of her development was in service to other people and thus just became "I want to help other people". Okay.. why? What made her feel this way? The Phantom Episode touched on it a bit in that she felt he was like a pet who was lost and confused and deserved a second chance, but that doesn't answer why she has been taking on this entire war to begin with, she was a Precure before anyone else on the team. Not that we would know because we know almost nothing about her. I care about Honey way more than I do Iona for that matter. Iona and Hime's rivalry just made her seem like a catty brat. Iona is another character we know nothing about other than 'I must save Onee-chan'.
>>292123510Not with a statement like that. You're saying "people like you" to someone that actually likes Yuko. She's definitely not a cure that had a lot of focus and people are saying that they were disappointed about that.
>>292123539Why are you mad?
>>292123327Wait what?I mean Megumi being a whore would be hot, but didn't she only go from Blue to Seiji?
Accurate depiction of future Luluka
>>292123511I'm begging you, please learn what passive aggressive means. You're acting like that way more than anyone else is.
>>292123600>"people like you"By that I generally meant retards
U2 is my favorite Hapcha because she is sex
>>292123631and back againand back againShe went from (Maybe Seiji)->Blue->Seiji->Blue for the finale.
>>292123647Oh okay.Retard.Try projecting less and thinking more.
>>292123287oshii gohan nigga, that's all she needed. That and having all that ass in those jeans. PH is a lucky man.
Hacha mirror toy was a pretty innovative take on the paper dress-up dolls concept
>>292123594The question was literal, I was asking why a focus episode is in your opinion required for a character to be a "real character"
I've only been able to watch the first seven episodes of Star Tinkle so far, but Madoka is one of my favorite Cures. Thank you for reading.
>>292123631Evil Mashiro
>>292123648I like that U2 had by far the biggest breasts aside from maybe Southern Cross, and it was amplified by the fact everyone else was as flat as a board. Meanwhile you could tell how big they were from her cheerleader outfit.
>>292123688Love PreBrace was also lauded at the time as the peak of creative imaginative play.
>>292123647Nobody is saying anything stupid though.
>>292123693best purple
>>292123692..I just told you why and you didn't seem to read the post at all.

>>292123644Aisuslob lay off the choco tacos
>>292123646moron
>>292123725No, you definitely didn't explain why a focus episode is required for a cure to be considered a character
>>292123742You're asking me why I'm upset over a post you disagree with, which is usually only done because you're projecting your feelings onto me.
>>292123764I sure did explain it: >>292123594>f you don't give characters some focus, or even some space to develop, they don't develop. Like what happened to Yuuko where almost all of her development was in service to other people and thus just became "I want to help other people". Okay.. why? What made her feel this way?

Not that we would know because we know almost nothing about her.You just didn't read itFunny, I remember having this same exact conversation with someone while hacha was airing and they did the same 'I'll pretend I am blind' stint
>>292123768You started off using vulgar language and tried to make some witty retort, that's a good sign someone is upset
>>292123648Gohanslut gimme some of that honey in those hives... honey *suck lick slurp*You too Fortune, get those bombs over her and nuke my face
>>292123750I'm not sure why you keep posting them but it's always nice to see more Emiruru.
Luluka's job is literally going to be her making sure Mikuru gets creampied at a certain date huh
>>292123724Faster
>>292123815>You started off using vulgar language >vulgar languageYou literally started this out by calling everyone who disagreed with you a retard
>>292123796I have no idea how that's supposed to explain why you have applied your own arbitrary definition to "character"
>>292123693Who has the best henshin sceneI liked Episode 3 because of how we got to see how Hikaru & Lala each approach problem-solving and they each fit both of their own personalities. It was natural that they would argue because of how different their approaches were
>>292123855retard is an academic term
>>292123764You're arguing something that nobody said. U2 is a character, she's just not much of one because she didn't have a big focus.
>>292123750Anyone else heard a guitar riff in their head when they saw this pic
>>292123859Funny enough, this was the exact same argument used back then. >Yuuko is fine as a flat, static character. Characters don't need to develop>Wait, what's that? You're showing me the definition of 'Character' from the dictionary? Well, I have this other, secret definition that I won't share which contradicts that. You lose, chuddyThe words are right there, it explains why characters need room to develop if you want to have a character, if you choose to not read them, it's not my loss.
>>292123891>barely a character.He has an arbitrary definition of character that he expects everyone else to agree with and understand, and so do you.
>>292123840>get those bombs over here and nuke my face
>>292123852Looks like she has to pee
>>292123902*a good charactersince i know we're getting into the straw-grabbing part of the argument where some guy with nothing to say just wants to split hairs to pretend he has something resembling a point>>292123914yeah like that, you literally just did it again. This is 1:1 the same exact thing we talked about when HaCha was airing. You have this secret definition of what a 'Character' means and you won't share it.
>>292123889Also french
>>292123902>greentext no one saidLooks like you've gone schizoYou haven't explained why a focus episode makes a character not a real one, or why anyone should care for your made up definitions
>>292123844>Emirurugay idols
>>292123935The greentext conversation we're talking about happened almost 13 years ago. You may not have said it, but you're using the same tactic because you're a disingenuous idiot who sees words and ignores them to make your own definition of what words mean in his head.
>>292123928A character is the presentation of a person, that's the standard definition. Not "someone who gets enough focus episodes".
>>292123914You're freaking insane. A character to me is someone in a season. Why don't you say what you think a character is?
>>292123952>disingenuous idiot You're the one inventing definitions. This entire conversation was just you being asked why you invent definitions and you've tried to make it about HaCha when it wasn't.
>>292123952>The greentext conversation we're talking about happened almost 13 years ago.and most schizo post of the year award goes to
>>292123958>Why don't you say what you think a character is?The representation of a person> A character to me is someone in a season.Made up definition
>>292123986for >>292123972
>>292123495Fascinating post. How much of a bimbo are Hana, Uta, Meroron, and Luluka?
>>292123986>The representation of a personAnd people are saying that Yuko didn't have enough of that because she didn't have a lot of focus. Do you understand now or not?
>>292124011Only Uta is a bimbo
>>292123958>>292123974>>292123986>A character is the presentation of a person, that's the standard definition. Not "someone who gets enough focus episodes".Time truly is a flat circle, huh?https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/characterWhat you're describing is definition 3 and definition 4. >: a set of qualities that make a place or thing different from other places or thingsYuuko's character isn't defined because there aren't any characteristics to her. She's a stand-up rice shop with legs.The problem is: you refuse to fucking read. I already know you're going to click that link, see that you're wrong about your definition and have blended multiple things together in your head, and pretend you didn't see anything.
>>292124022>Do you understand now or not?No, of course I don't understand. "didn't have enough" is completely arbitrary. she appeared, she spoke, she did things, that's well over more than enough for ordinary people to say she's a real character.
And for the record, Mikuru doesn't have a lot of focus either so some of this applies to her too. The major difference is that she's going to actually get some in the upcoming episodes.
>>292124049>she's a real characterYou keep repeating that when it's irrelevant. Nobody is saying she isn't one, just that she got the short end of the stick when it came to character focus.How freaking stupid are you?
>>292124049>"didn't have enough" is completely arbitrary. We're now to the point where he's going to split hairs over quality, not just quantity. Hung up on "Character episodes" or "How many they have" and not the original post which said nothing about how many she got. >>292123594>If you don't give characters some focus, or even some space to develop, they don't develop. Like what happened to Yuuko where almost all of her development was in service to other people and thus just became "I want to help other people". Okay.. why? What made her feel this way?Which is funny because you could have avoided this embarrassing blunder if you just fucking read the posts given to you. I guess you're the "people like you" aka retard you spoke of.
>>292124032Very midwit post>What you're describing is definition 3 and definition 4.Yeah, so you're saying it's right?>character isn't defined because there aren't any characteristics to her.Arbitrary definition again. YuuYuu is clearly separate from other character. You are so unbelievably autistic.
If I was Hime and I asked Yuko to breastfeed me would she do it
>>292124074The anon above said she's "barely a character" when she is in fact a real character in precure. No offence but you should try and calm down before posting as you look stupid here.
>>292124122No.
>>292124101>Yeah, so you're saying it's right?You blended two different things together in your head because you're a scramble-brained dimwit. Associating two things together, then picking and choosing which is the correct definition to win an internet argument. Swapping between them as convenient when someone nails the first definition.>Arbitrary definition again. Like here, it's literally in the fucking dictionary that I linked and you're carefully avoiding reading the definition to see that.
>>292124089No. This is an argument about the meaning of "character", and she fits the definition 100%.
>>292124124>The anon above said she's "barely a character" when she is in fact a real character in precure.Least coherent post of the thread award. >>: a set of qualities that make a place or thing different from other places or things
>>292124124>barely a characterThat's true because she didn't get much focus. That doesn't mean that she isn't a "real" character, whatever the hell that means.
>>292124137>>292124124Take it up with Britannica if you don't like the definition, not me. By definition, Yuuko is a very poorly defined character because she has no characteristics IE things that make her different from anything else in the show
You guys do realize that character focus and focus episodes are not the same thing, right? And when someone asks why the latter is necessary it's not enough to talk about the former? Am I the only one getting annoyed by this?
Almost to 500 posts arguing with someone who thinks the Dictionary is below his ESL beliefs about how English works award
>>292124135The definition three and four both work. Not sure what point you're trying to make. Why is it wrong if it fits both meanings? Do you want it to fit only one definition, or fit all of them perhaps? Weird post.>Like here,You don't understand because you are angry and not thinking clearly. YuuYuu has certainly enough to distinguish her from every other character so she's a real character.The error you're making is applying your own definition of "character", that being something that meets your own criteria of getting enough attention. The thing is, your definition doesn't mean anything.
>>292124178>And when someone asks why the latter is necessary it's not enough to talk about the former?Because that was made up. The post first replied to said nothing about Character Focus episodes. It was inserted as a strawman which has been the focus for an hour now because nobody can fucking read.
>>292124150YuuYuu has enough aspects to make her separate from other things so she is a real character. You are schizophrenic.
I'm pretty sure this is just spam so the thread hits 500
>>292124199>Why is it wrong if it fits both meanings? Because even by both meanings, this post covers it succinctly >>292123594 it's just again, you didn't want to read it so you found some reason to be upset.
>>292124178I'm annoyed by everyone bullying each other. Why can't you all get along wtf!!!!!
