History Fanfic / FutariWaPrettyCureDragon

''Futari wa Pretty Cure Dragon'' is a fanfic by Tropers/{{Ryanasaurus0077}} with a martial arts thematic and his first Anime/{{Futari wa| Pretty Cure}}[=-=]style team.

* CelebrityParadox: When Hiroshi and Ran, in their disguises, meet Hanzo Hattori in the TV studio in episode 7, Ran mistakes him for Creator/ShinichiChiba (also an ActorAllusion in the Japanese version). Hanzo replies that he once played Chiba in ''Bodyguard Kiba''.

* HarmlessVillain: Minor character [[ScrewySquirrel Ai Fukuda]], whose behavior has earned her the nickname "Clown Princess of Rulebreaking".

** Parodied with [[ScrewySquirrel Ai]], who always gets her racial epiphets wrong. In the narrator's words, after Ai refers to Tsuruya as a "yankee":

* ScrewySquirrel: Ai Fukuda is definitely one, with silly pranks ranging from stealing scripts to putting an oil slick in the hallway. It's made all the funnier in the ChristmasEpisode when she sings this classic after unleashing bats in the dormitories:

* UsefulNotes/AustralianAccent: Almost; Hanae in the English dub actually speaks with a Kiwi accent owing to Emma K. Lahana hailing from New Zealand. The casting is deliberate; per WordOfGod, there's a female singer in New Zealand with the given name Wing, and Hanae's name in the English dub is Wing Lynn.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Kuro (who WordOfGod says is humanoid and is a native of [[BigBad Shiban's]] dimension) is this through and through; to show that this portrayal is deliberate, the author includes an actual Hispanic character as an Ichiban student who by contrast doesn't even bother trying to be Hispanic (save for her fluency in English and Spanish and one of her parents being Hispanic) and considers said villain's behavior and outfit to give anyone with Hispanic blood in them a bad name. WordOfGod says this trope is intended to make Kuro a villain both characters and readers will love to hate.

* {{Yubitsume}}: When the embalmer checks Hiroshi's left pinky to see if it's completely intact (regular injuries notwithstanding, of course), he explains that he wanted to confirm that Hiroshi wasn't a {{Yakuza}} (because all [[AcceptableTargets Japanese mobsters]] are missing at least the tip of their left pinky, right?). A later fight knocks out the tip of Kuro's left pinky.
** The main villain of episode 15, Boss Kurobara, is stated to have four fingers on his hand; it's implied that he was a rulebreaker during his early career with the Yakuza.

* SignLanguage: Hiroshi is fluent, and for good reason.

* DancingTheme: A cover of the Cantonese version of [[TheVillagePeople "YMCA"]] is the original closing theme, and the Cures perform the traditional dance to the song during the closing credits. In episode 24, the closing theme becomes an English-language cover of [[Manga/KirarinRevolution "Anataboshi"]] (titled "When I Come to Your Star with My Love"); the Cures perform to the same choreography featured in [=MilkyWay=]'s music video.

And SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker got away, hey!\\

'''Futari wa Pretty Cure Dragon''' is a fanfic by Tropers/{{Ryanasaurus0077}} with a martial arts thematic and his first Anime/{{Futari wa| Pretty Cure}}[=-=]style team.

* StoryBreakerTeamUp: [[Film/TheStreetfighter Takuma Tsurugi]] (with whom Pretty Cure shares the same [[{{Toei}} umbrella]]) crosses paths with the Cures in at least one episode (including the aptly-titled "Odoroki! Satsujin ken", featuring the first such encounter).

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Hiroshi ''[[BruceLee Lee]]'', Ran ''[[JackieChan Chan]]'', and Kaori ''[[Creator/ShinichiChiba Chiba]]''.

* QuipToBlack: Done in one episode in the form of a Horatio Caine parody by Ran, complete with the obligatory "[[TheWho Won't Be Fooled Again]]" snippet. Oddly enough, it doesn't lead to the eyecatch.

** Played straight in episode 38 when Rica takes an honest-to-God potshot at StevenSeagal.

* MindOverMatter: Chimei does this to Hiroshi at least once in episode 9, in a ShoutOut to a scene in episode 6 of ''MyGuardianCharacters'' where one of Amu's Charas forces her to dance using a similar form of telekinesis.

* BerserkButton: As with RanmaOneHalf, most every major character and major supporting character has one:

* DancingTheme: A cover of the Cantonese version of [[TheVillagePeople "YMCA"]] is the original closing theme, and the Cures perform the traditional dance to the song during the closing credits. In episode 24, the closing theme becomes an English-language cover of [[KirarinRevolution "Anataboshi"]] (titled "When I Come to Your Star with My Love"); the Cures perform to the same choreography featured in [=MilkyWay=]'s music video.

* MagicSkirt: As a general rule, though there are some occasions where the laws of physics come into play; for example, when Hiroshi is forced into an unnatural dance in episode 9 (in a ShoutOut to ''MyGuardianCharacters''), his skirt flips high enough to reveal he's wearing the same leotard he wore in episodes 2 and 3. Always averted with Ichiban's summer uniforms, as most of the students wear leotards.

** Episode 20 has the line [[KentuckyFriedMovie "Take them to Detroit!"]]
