History Anime / FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar

* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [[spoiler:Dorodoron, of all people, is on the brink of victory over Pretty Cure...]] until Michiru and Kaoru invoke this trope and intervene. Or at least, that's the excuse they give themselves.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Poor Princsess Filia. The first time she uses the Fairy Carafe [[spoiler: Gooyan steals it while it still has the power of the Fountains, and the second time she uses it Gooyan knocks it into the water...which reveals that the ocean of Earth are the [[McGuffin Fountain of the Sun]]]].

* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Kenta's feelings for Saki are implied to go beyond friendship at a few points, but she only has eyes for Mai's brother, Tatsuya. [[spoiler:In the end of the series, she still hasn't noticed Kenta, and he seems to turn his affection to one of her teammates on the softball team.]]

** Every single member of Dark Fall has [[CastingAShadow darkness]], referred to as "the power of destruction", as well.

* EvolvingCredits: The opening changes to include Cure Bright and Cure Windy, as well as Moop and Foop.

* ShoutOut: during one of Flappi's failed attempts at confessing his feelings to Choppi, Moop offers the advice, [[VideoGame/StarFox64 "Never give up! Trust your instincts!"]] (This might be SpicingUpTheSubtitles, though).
** "[[Anime/JojosBizarreAdventure ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!]]"

* BossBanter: All of the minions engage in some form of this. However, Kintolesky takes it UpToEleven by repeatedly buying bread at Saki's family's store, giving Saki drawing advice, giving Tatsuya Mishou kicking lessons, and stopping by the SchoolFestival.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: The confrontation with Akudaikaan in episode 23.

* EvolvingCredits: The opening changes to include Cure Bright and Cure Windy.

* ShoutOut: during one of Flappi's failed attempts at confessing his feelings to Choppi, Moop offers the advice, [[VideoGame/StarFox64 "Never give up! Trust your instincts!"]]
** And later, when enlisting Korone's help in a search effort, Flappi remarks that [[{{Tsukihime}} "A cat]] [[MemeticMutation is fine, too.]]

* VerbalTic: As usual for Pretty Cure series, the mascot characters add some variant of their names. One of Saki and Mai's friends, Hitomi, injects "maji" (really/seriously) into most of her sentences, although the subs don't necessarily represent this. (Sorry.)

* ShoutOut - during one of Flappi's failed attempts at confessing his feelings to Choppi, Moop offers the advice, [[VideoGame/StarFox64 "Never give up! Trust your instincts!"]]

* ThirdPersonPerson - Minori Hyuuga.

** Kintolesky - [[ExtraOreDinary gold/metal]]

* EmotionlessGirl - Kaoru, at first. Michiru is friendlier from the beginning, but even she has her moments.
* EvolvingCredits - The opening changes to include Cure Bright and Cure Windy.
* {{Expy}} - To the point where the Italian dub of the show marketed it as a ''sequel'' to ''FutariWaPrettyCure'', starring the "older" forms of Nagisa and Honoka!

* IHaveTheHighGround - Ms. Shitataare and Kintolesky do this before several battles. Michiru and Kaoru enjoy sitting on a rock that extends out of the ocean.

* MegaNeko (Korone, Saki's lazy and overlarge cat who actually has an important role later on.)

* [[{{Shojo}} Shoujo]]

* AndYouWereThere (Moop and Fuup)
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny - Mai gets like this around some works of art.
* BattleAura - noticeable in the flashes of light, absent in earlier seasons, that appear whenever the Cures land from high heights or are thrown against solid objects. Could possibly be a DontTryThisAtHome measure.
* BigBad ([[spoiler: Gooyan]])
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine - Kenta ostensibly forms a Manzai duo with class representative Miyasako, but it's more of an outlet for his own [[HurricaneOfPuns pun-based humor.]]
* BossBanter - all of the minions engage in some form of this. However, Kintolesky takes it UpToEleven by repeatedly buying bread at Saki's family's store, giving Saki drawing advice, giving Tatsuya Mishou kicking lessons, and stopping by the SchoolFestival.
* BossRush - [[spoiler: Gohyaan brings back the five defeated minions in the 40s episodes. All are dispatched with more ease than before.]]
* BrattyHalfPint - Saki's younger sister, Minori.

* ClarkKenting - Inverted in that some of the ''villains'' adopt various disguises and aren't recognized until they reveal themselves. Meanwhile, the villains discover the Cures' true identities without much effort at all.
* ComplexityAddiction - [[spoiler: Gohyaan could have won instantly by just blowing the worlds up in random order, instead of bothering with creating Akudaikahn, creating the Dark Fall, and sending minions.]]
* DancingTheme ("Ganbalance de Dance")
* DarkIsNotEvil [[spoiler:Michiru and Kaoru, who continue using their powers as warriors of the Dark Fall, even after their HeelFaceTurn]]
* DarkMagicalGirl (Michiru and Kaoru)

* DiscOneFinalBoss - the confrontation with Akudaikaan in episode 23.
* DisneyDeath ([[spoiler:Michiru and Kaoru]])
* [[spoiler: EarthShatteringKaboom: When Gohyaan blows up the Earth]]
* ElementalPowers - The five minions, aside from Michiru and Kaoru, have powers based on the five elements of Eastern tradition. The Uzainaa that they summon are also based on these elements. This provides foreshadowing, seeing as that Kaoru is [[BlowYouAway wind]] and Michiru is [[{{Lunacy}} the moon]], neither fitting in with the theme.

* GratuitousSpanish (Moerumba)
* HeelFaceTurn ([[spoiler:Michiru and Kaoru]], again.)

* HeyItsThatVoice - [[Creator/JunkoTakeuchi Kenta]] is {{Naruto}} and [[Anime/DigimonFrontier Takuya]] and would later go to voice [[YesPrettyCure5 Cure Rouge]]; Flappi is [[RanmaOneHalf Ranma]], InuYasha, [[KappeiYamaguchi and more]]. [[ToshiyukiMorikawa Gohyaan]] is [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] and [[InuYasha Naraku]].

* IslandBase - Gohyaan has one of these, even shaped like himself. He mistakenly believes it to be secret.

* {{Jossed}} - The popular fan theory that Michiru and Kaoru "inherit" the forms of Cure Bright and Cure Windy beyond the series finale is nixed by the second All-Stars DX movie, where Saki and Mai get a combination of both their Egret/Windy and Bloom/Bright forms, respectively. On the other hand, the Crossover Compilation has outright defied TV canon on a number of major points, and [[TheyJustDidntCare Toei doesn't care about the twins]], so of course they wouldn't let them fight -- meaning that, in a purely-TV-canon world, they could still keep their powers.
* KamehameHadoken (Michiru and Kaoru fight with concentrated balls of the power of destruction pulled from their own bodies. Once they charge them up enough, the result is one of these.)
* KickTheDog (Pretty much ''every'' villain in this show, with the only exception of Kintolesky, does that at least once)
* LaughablyEvil (the whole QuirkyMinibossSquad, Karehaan being the sole exception)
* LuckyTranslation - Doubles as BlindIdiotTranslation. The Italian dub managed [[{{Woolseyism}} to keep the Japanese opening by creatively changing the lyrics]], which is a good thing - except that some of the new lyrics basically amount to [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries "super-special-awesome!"]]

* MeaningfulName - Pretty Cure and the Kiryuu sisters all have names relating to their Cure personas. All these relations are expressed in sequence near the end of episode 48.

* MinionShipping (Kintolesky and Shitataare)
* MoralityPet (Minori to Kaoru)
* MyNameIsNotDurwood - Saki manages to misremember Ms. Shitataare's name almost every time.

* NeverTrustATrailer (The final episode of ''Max Heart'' for the Italian dub gave the impression they were [[DolledUpInstallment dubbing this series as a sequel to the previous]]. Luckily, it wasn't the case.)
* NotSoHarmlessVillain (The ManBehindTheMan is [[spoiler:Gohyaan, the fat slacker minion that even the other villains make fun of. He also destroys the world.]])
* OmnicidalManiac (Lord Akudaikahn. [[spoiler:Also, Gohyaan wants to destroy the universe... because lifeforms are too noisy and irritate him.]])
* TheOtherDarrin (Kaoru's voice actor is replaced halfway through the show.)
* PungeonMaster (Kenta Hoshino)

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou - [[spoiler:Dorodoron, of all people, is on the brink of victory over Pretty Cure...]] until Michiru and Kaoru invoke this trope and intervene. Or at least, that's the excuse they give themselves.

* UnluckyChildhoodFriend - Kenta's feelings for Saki are implied to go beyond friendship at a few points, but she only has eyes for Mai's brother, Tatsuya. [[spoiler:In the end of the series, she still hasn't noticed Kenta, and he seems to turn his affection to one of her teammates on the softball team.]]
* VileVillainSaccharineShow - Like you wouldn't believe...

* WorthyOpponent (Kintolesky)
* YouCantFightFate (Michiru and Kaoru believed so.)

* LuckyTranslation - Doubles as BlindIdiotTranslation. The Italian dub managed [[{{Woolseyism}} to keep the Japanese opening by creatively changing the lyrics]], which is a good thing - except that some of the new lyrics basically amount to [[YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries "super-special-awesome!"]]

* NotSoHarmless (The ManBehindTheMan is [[spoiler:Gohyaan, the fat slacker minion that even the other villains make fun of. He also destroys the world.]])

* HeyItsThatVoice - [[JunkoTakeuchi Kenta]] is {{Naruto}} and [[DigimonFrontier Takuya]] and would later go to voice [[YesPrettyCure5 Cure Rouge]]; Flappi is [[RanmaOneHalf Ranma]], InuYasha, [[KappeiYamaguchi and more]]. [[ToshiyukiMorikawa Gohyaan]] is [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] and [[InuYasha Naraku]].

* HeyItsThatVoice - [[JunkoTakeuchi Kenta]] is {{Naruto}} and [[DigimonFrontier Takuya]] and would later go to voice [[YesPrettyCure5 Cure Rouge]]; Flappi is [[RanmaOneHalf Ranma]], InuYasha, [[KappeiYamaguchi and more]]. [[ToshiyukiMorikawa Gohyaan]] is [[FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] and [[InuYasha Naraku]].

** Maybe it's a bit of a stretch, but doesn't Karehaan look a bit like [[FinalFantasyIV Kain Highwind]]?

The third series in the ''PrettyCure'' franchise, and the first AlternateContinuity.

* HeyItsThatVoice - [[JunkoTakeuchi Kenta]] is {{Naruto}} and [[DigimonFrontier Takuya]] and would later go to voice [[YesPrettyCure5 Cure Rouge]]; Flappi is [[RanmaOneHalf Ranma]], InuYasha, [[KappeiYamaguchi and more]].

* BeyondTheImpossible - Pretty Cure's final attack in the final episode is said to rival the Big Bang.
** Its radiance reminded [[spoiler:BigBad Gohyaan]] of the Big Bang, but it couldn't have had the same power, considering that [[spoiler:said Gohyaan managed to hold it back for about a minute, and he wasn't even powerful enough to completely obliterate the Earth.]]

* MemeticMutation: "I want to lick Not-Nagisa's salty eyebrows." is posted whenever you see a picture of Saki.

* MemeticMutation: I want to [[PerverseSexualLust lick]] [[Expy NotNagisa's]] salty eyebrows.

* MemeticMutation: I want to [[PerverseSexualLust lick]] [[Expy Not-Nagisa's]] salty eyebrows.

* MemeticMutation: I want to [[PerverseSexualLust lick]] [[Expy Not-]] [[FutariWaPrettyCure Nagisa's]] salty eyebrows.

* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer (Michiru and Kaoru)

* VerbalTic - as usual for Pretty Cure series, the mascot characters add some variant of their names. One of Saki and Mai's friends, Hitomi, injects "maji" (really/seriously) into most of her sentences, although the subs don't necessarily represent this. (Sorry.)
