Awakened Power! Rainbow Healing!! (known as Feeling Blue in the Glitter Force version) is the 12th episode of Smile Pretty Cure! (or the 11th episode of Glitter Force), and the 401th episode overall in the Pretty Cure franchise.
The girls are going on a school trip to Osaka and Kyoto, and Candy isn't invited.
Tropes:
- Childish Pillow Fight: In the Glitter Force dub, having one of these on the train is discussed in the class.
- Class Trip: This episode is the first in a mini-arc about the students going on a trip together.
- Cultural Translation: The trip's location is Osaka and Kyoto in the original; in Glitter Force, it's the more vague "Asia Pacific Expo".
- Innocently Insensitive: Asides from Reika, the Cures end up falling into this, as they gush about the trip in front of Candy, getting her excited, before Miyuki proceeds to tell her that she can’t come (English Dub)/thank her for watching the house (Japanese Dub), setting off her insecurities. They are set straight, however, when Reika explains about how Candy worries about wanting to help and how she feels like they are deliberately trying to exclude her (the latter being further more impactful due to Wolfrun claiming that the girls don’t want her around), making them feel horrible.
- Group Hug: The Cures and Candy all share one near the end.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Wolfrun telling Candy off of how useless she is, almost making her cry. In the English Dub, this is made worse by him claiming that’s why the girls don’t want her around, which Candy already believes since they wanted to leave her at home while they go on their trip.
- Talking in Your Sleep: In the Glitter Force dub, Emily babbles about the upcoming trip in her sleep.
