Thank You Papa! Yayoi's Treasure is the 19th episode of Smile Pretty Cure! and the 408th episode of Pretty Cure as a franchise.
The class learns about the meanings of their names, and Yayoi isn't satisfied with hers.
Tropes:
- Disappeared Dad: This episode reveals that Yayoi's father passed away when she was a little girl.
- Meaningful Name: This episode is all about them:
- Yayoi learns that her name means "March" (as in the month), because her mother's name is Chiharu ("a thousand springs"), and her father wanted his daughter's name to reflect that.
- Miyuki's name means "happiness"; she's Cure Happy.
- Akane's name means "madder red"; her father wanted a name that started with A, and her mother chose "Akane" after a deep red sunset.
- Nao's name means "straightforward", because her parents wanted her to value honesty.
- Reika's name means "flower beauty", which her grandfather chose because he wanted her to be beautiful and heartful, like a flower.
- Mythology Gag: The fashion show in this episode is hosted by Fairy Drop. Chiharu even makes a phone call to someone by the name of "Kurumi".
