| In my headcanon, Daruizen has a redemption arc, and that was part of the episodes that didn't get made. Either Nodoka would return to him the next episode, or they would all decide to help him after discovering he didn't get destroyed by their ultimate cure healing-attack. Either if he'd remain as-is but help them in the last battle by breaking through king's defenses, or if he was allowed to hide in Nodoka's body- her precure antibodies or whatever would mutate him into a sort of vaccine that would then be used to defeat the main bad guy by the end of the series. The amount of lost episodes, my headcannon say about five, would be spent with him in Nodoka's body and her still able to fight enemies since he'd be dormant and not interfering with her at all. Between battles, he would silently observe how her life is and want that himself, this being what was building up through the season and his appearances and him just wanting to live like everything else. Maybe during nighttime or if Nodoka was in a bad situation during those episodes, they would talk about how hard her life was during the time he developed inside of her and he'd start to feel bad, having felt fear for his life thanks to the king he barely escaped, or he'd help her with a sudden attack against the week's monster "to protect his host" until it's time for the final battle and he aid the precures against the king. I just feel this would have been more in line with how the precure franchise has handled these types of characters and situations before, and my headcannon decide that the absolute cruelty in the episodes she ran away and he then how he died with not even a single chance to redeem himself after asking for/receiving the help he desperately needed, was due to shortage of time to add those last 5-something episodes of the series. cuz i don't want to believe the MC of a precure series would be that cruel, and so much buildup for Daruizen's redemption ark would have been there only to have him offed when it looked like he had gone beyond being just another virus, was in the original script for the series about that character... |

| h Princess_havoc said: I hope that's the case cuz this ending was very disappointing -haha, i went to do some attempts at looking into it; Daruizen was supposed to die from the get-go, and i think the "lost" episodes were supposed to be more about cure Sparkle's personal development |

| Ok, i just finished the series right now, and here are my thoughts: I actually was hoping that there would be a romance between Nodoka and Daruizen ever since i started watching the anime, untill it was revealed that Nodoka was his host, which would make the relationship kinda weird in this case, but, still, i hoped..... When she refused to help him, i would have normally become very mad in different circumstances, but i understood from where she came from with it too, like nobody wants to be sick and suffering from a disease, yet, i still hoped she would eventually return and help him. Then after he was not completely "cured", i still had hope he would live, even after he was absorbed by King Byogen, i thought that maybe in the final battle after defeating the King, he would be saved.... I actually was hoping all three of the Byogens (Daruizen, Shindoine and Guwaiwaru) would by the end turn good, like in Hinata's dream. They could have somehow become humans (Like another Mahou Shoujo anime) but this ending was indeed dissapointing, the final episode seemed unnecesary too, and the final episode should have actually been the final battle! :( |
