After a long time away, we simply talk about what we've been watching lately
Happiness Charge
Megumi and Hime ponder Cure Honey's banger of a song, and Hoshiwa has her cutest outfit yet! We also find out that Cure Honey.... is Yuko?!? We never would have guessed!
Soaring Sky
Though we spent a lot of time talking about the specifics of Cure Butterfly's debut episode, we also consider all the episodes since we last recorded. How do we feel about Elle? Have our thoughts on Tsubasa changed? What do we think of Battemonda?

Well folks, we're sad to say, but this will be our last regular episode for a while. We're taking a break in an effort to recharge our batteries. Thank you for your support and we hope to see you again in the future!

Discussion Question
What is your favorite henshin of these 3 seasons? And, more broadly, what makes a good henshin sequence?
Splash Star
We get an episode about Minori being a terrible little goblin, leading to friction between Mai and Saki. But more importantly, it's time to Salsa, baby! Moerumba is here! And he's going to show you a good time, señoritas! Then we also get an episode with sock puppets, a lame class representative, and bread in the shape of foxes and pandas.
Happiness Charge
The girls go to a festival that celebrates the time god fell in love with a girl- Blue WHAT DID YOU DO!?!? but they receive a bad fortune! and then Oresky shows up, he's here!! He's finally here! Just when all hope is lost, Cure Fortune appears to save the day and leave an onimous message for Megumi. Then, thinking they are too weak, the girls decide to take up karate. It's not enough to beat Oresky again and this time theyre saved by a new Cure, Cure Honey?? Who is she, and why is her song so great?!? Also, we meet some international cures and we ponder if they're respectful or not.
Soaring Sky
Bird Watch, 2023- where's the bird? But more importantly, WHO is bird? Oh, his name is Tsubasa and he's also a boy who can become a bird and a bird that can become a boy! He wants to fly but can't, so instead he's decided to study aerodynamics. When Kabaton attacks, the boy who is a bird who is also a boy must go to Elle's aid, and in doing so, the boy who is a bird who once was a boy also becomes a PreCure- Cure Wing to be exact. And the day is saved! By the.... By the bird boy... boy bird? Boy band? Cure Wing saves the day!

Discussion Question
We ask about the PreCure of these three seasons as RPG classes/characters. What roles might they serve and who would get the most into a table top role playing game?
Splash Star
Flappy and Choppy's ears start hurting so you know what that means- it's time for a maguffin! And while looking for it, Karehan turns himself into an uzaina and when he's defeated he explodes?? Yeah, that was... unexpected. Anyways, we wonder what sort of general we might get next.
Happiness Charge
Hime tries to bake a secret cake for Megumi, but Megumi butts in and annoys the blue-haired princess. They eventually make up and realize how much they rely on each other (while fighting a wedding cake. There's no potential symbollic meaning here, folks).
Soaring Sky
It's Sora's first day at school and at first she worries about standing out, but then decides It's okay to be herself. Meanwhile Kabaton cosplays at Jotaro Kujo!

Discussion Question
For this week we want to know: Since it's an anniversary season, what sort of reference or cameo do you most want to see in Soaring Sky PreCure? And if you could only have one character or team cameo, who would you pick?

Splash Star 6
Mai thinks Saki's parents are neat, and Saki (and little sister Minori) thinks Mai's parents are neat. And in the end all three of them were right. And Goya floats around like he's a helium balloon.
All Stars New Stage 3: Forever Friends
An overprotective fairy mother decides to kidnap human children in order to help her child and for this reason the PreCure are called upon to go into the dream realm and save the children. We also get closure for Cure Echo, Gureru and Enen's sotry arcs (from the previous All Stars New Stage movies). We also get to see Nozomi as a teacher, Mana as prime minister, and several other characters as adults.
Soaring Sky 6
In what may be the most "These girls are married" episode yet, Mashiro goes to work/school, and Sora remains at the house to take care of the baby and do the chores. But Sora realizes- with some help from Ageha and make up that gives her some tropica-shiny courage- that she wants to always be with Mashiro and Sora agrees! An then Kabaton eats an entire ice cream sundae and Sora is enrolled in school. The enrollment is unrelated to the sundae, apologies for any confusion

Discussion Question
What Unique or relatively rare powers would our listeners give their own PreCure or like to see in upcoming seasons?

Splash Star 5
Splash Star asks the question: Who does Saki like better, her dweeby best friend or the hot older brother of her other best friend? The answer may surprise you
Happiness Charge 6
Hime is being a selfish brat, causing her and Ribbon to fight! But then Yuu Yuu comes in and teaches Hime the joy of cooking and then they best the bad guy with relaxing hula dancing and everyone makes up in the end.
Soaring Sky 5
Sora is having a rough time, fearing for Mashir's safety and unwilling to open up to her girlfriend about her concerns. But then Kabaton summons an evil train, Ellee-chan gets a magic flying baby boat, and the pair unleash their new combo attack: ALIEN ABDUCTION and save the day.

We ask ourselves and our listeners what other uses could the sky crystals have?

Splash Star
Mai decides to try and draw the springtime and learns about cabbage farming, while Saki attempts to outmaneuver Karehan in the woods.
Happiness Charge 4 & 5
We first get Erika's fight with social anxiety as she begins attending school, and then we get the girls doing good for goodness's sake. Also we see a ton of new outfits within these 2 episodes, and they're all great!
Soaring Sky 4
It's Mashiro's time to shine as she steps up after Sora falls victim to a super obvious trap. We also meet Mashiro's childhood friend, Ageha who is a delight and threatens to beat up the bad guys with a metal bat. So you know who our favorite is this season.
