History Anime / FutariWaPrettyCure

* AdaptedOut: The manga leaves out many parts of the anime, focussing only in the most important parts. For example, Gekidrago's ark is outright skipped, only stating that he was defeated.

* TheThingThatGoesDoink: Part of the scenery at Honoka's house.

** [[http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/6462/render19.gif Cure Black]] her BareYourMidriff caused quite a stir amoung MoralGuardians as a result [[http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/879/maxheartmovie1cureblack.jpg it is covered up in Season 2]]. She is the only one in the entire 8 seasons to not get hair decs.

* OffModel: Episode 11 of Max Heart is infamous for its fight scene where Shiny Luminous' model is... a little odd and not so well drawn at times.

* ConvergingStreamWeapon: The "Pretty Cure Marble Screw" attack.

* {{Crossdresser}}: Nagisa in at least two episodes.

* TheDragon: Ilkbo in the first arc.

* NonHumanSidekick: Mipple and Mepple

* OffModel: Episode 11 of Max Heart is infamous for its fight scene.

* RecycledSoundtrack: The opening theme is kinda recycled from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p4-IUnNPek Hatena no Boomerang]], the opening to the anime version of Creator/OsamuTezuka's ''Manga/TheThreeEyedOne'', both songs were composed by Yasuo Kosugi

In 2006, after the ending of ''[=MaX=] Heart'', the series received a new installment in the form of ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'', which starred [[{{Expy}} expies]] of Nagisa and Honoka named Saki and Mai, who became Cures in their own right.

The show proved so popular that a direct {{sequel|Series}}, ''Futari wa Pretty Cure [=MaX=] Heart'', followed immediately afterwards. Following the finale of ''Futari wa'', the Queen of Light is forced to shatter her own essence and scatter the pieces to Earth. Nagisa and Honoka are recruited once more by the Garden of Light, given [[FrillyUpgrade upgraded powers]] and tasked with [[GottaCatchEmAll finding the twelve "Heartiels"]] that make up the Queen's heart. Aiding them is a MysteriousWaif called Hikari who transforms into [[SixthRanger Third Ranger]] Shiny Luminous, and avoids [[SoLastSeason the usual problem with new members]] by acting as more of a SupportPartyMember to Black and White. Opposing them are the remnants of the Dusk Zone, who are seeking a way to revive the Dark King.

[[spoiler:The original duo would later make their return in ''[[Anime/HugttoPrettyCure HUGtto! PreCure]]'' as [[GuestStarPartyMember guest characters]] to celebrate the franchise's [[MilestoneCelebration 15th anniversary]] as well as to promote the the ''All-Stars Memories'' {{Crossover}} movie.]]

* BerserkButton:
** Nagisa's friends and her brother serve as her buttons: harm them, and your life is forfeit, as Gekidrago learned the hard way in episode 11.
** Later, in episode 42, when Honoka/Cure White is in serious danger, Nagisa/Cure Black (after initially panicking and crying) fights the bad guys on her own and shows of a LOT of power, especially considering she and Cure White are supposed to get their powers from teamwork.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* IHaveTheHighGround: The villains tend to take a high perch when they make their entrance and summon a Zakenna.

** Another comes from Honoka, who call Circulus by name despite the fact that no enemy introduced themselves to the Cures and the only one who they actually know the name of (with an actual explanation for it) is Baldez. In the original, Honoka never call Circulus by name.

* RageBreakingPoint: Hurting Ryota is a pretty good way to ''truly'' piss Nagisa off. In fact she has no problem delivering a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Gekidrago once he hurts him. In the Italian dub, she goes as far as to say that she'll kill him.

* ExtraordinarilyEmpoweredGirl: Even when not transformed, Nagisa shows off remarkable athletic ability and is able to fend for herself against the Dusk Zone before meeting up with Honoka.

* BreatheOnTheFan: Nagisa in episode 28.

All their magical abilities [[WonderTwinPowers come from teamwork]]: they have no solo attacks and cannot even transform into their Pretty Cure forms unless they do so in unison. The show focuses heavily on the [[ThePowerOfFriendship developing friendship]] between Nagisa and Honoka, even throwing in some blatant [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship yuri subtext]] for the older audience. From an animation standpoint, the show seemed to have an aversion to StockFootage: if Nagisa and Honoka were in different clothes when they transformed, a new transformation sequence would be animated. All of this makes for one of the more unique MagicalGirl shows to come along in a long time.

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Implied with Nagisa's admirers. Also this seems to be involved with [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship Nagisa and Honoka]].
