Rikka didn't even get a new attack.

Seriously, Toei. Come on.

What is it with Precure villains saving the heroes by calling back their minions over something stupid? That was something I remember from Heartcatch that bugged the carp out of me.

We got to see some adorable shots of Mana and Rikka as babies, but once again Alice's only purpose is Rosetta Reflection.

I question Ai-chan's morality if seeing Ira almost get hurt is the only thing that made her happy this entire episode. XD

Next week's episode, MakiPi gets a cavity? I would have expected this from Aguri, but not her. Interesting.

My bad, didn 't notice at first. It lasts a second and it achieves nothing, so she might as well have not gotten one tho. Rikka always gets the shaft move-wise.

Ai being cute. :) And I actually liked Diamond's new attack. She looked dang sassy. ;)
But let's get real--The highlight of the entire episode for me was this week's Jikochuu Victim's grade. A 12. A friggin' 12?!


And I couldn't tell you why, but I'm sort of looking forward to Mako-Pi's visit to the dentist... :
:D Yay

You mean Alice. Then again you probably forgot who's who considering the lack of focus both of these two get.

I fell asleep halfway through the episode whoops

I meant Rikka, who was shown DEFEATING a Selfish in her debut as Cure Diamond and then never again, was the only one in the team to not beat a MotW with her second upgrade and now this, plus her attack is almost never useful and often thrown in so the enemy breaks out of it. Alice at least gets to be flashy and help the team more than Rikka ever will.

But they aren't Mana, so they can't achieve anything important ever.

I loved the tales about parenting in this episode. They didn't sugarcoat it that much - Rikka's mum saying she needed to take a breather for instance - and still made it incredibly heartwarming.
Diamond's new attack is a joke, support/debuffer in a team done wrong. Not to mention they never follow a strategy other than "shoot everything you got and pray it hits and finishes the job". At least Bel is one cool customer as always.

Accidents from villains would make any baby laugh~ xD

Rosetta works as tanker, so not to surprised. Plus babysitting a handful of other struggling girls? Yea.

But babies and parenting... Baby Mana bought crickets over... I just wonder how that little tyke does that?! xD Otherwise, pretty okay episode... The Diamond Swirll (Rikka Ice Cream please?)... Not sure how to feel about that. If it works like a debuffer... Then maybe it could have showcase something better.. Unless that returns again to show better effect at an later episode. Otherwise meh. (Then again why am I to concerned about attack animations?)

The next episode... I think I just want to mentally cry 'cause I got a worse cavity.. And it hurts from the back. :I *Hugs MakoPi*

Erm. Correct me if I am wrong but what episode did the parents know that they even had Ai?

I don't remember anyone questioning who she is either. For all Mana's mother knows Mana could actually be the mother.

I kinda liked Diamond Swirl, a bit more useful than her other forgettable attack that was so similar to Cure Beauty's.

Ehh not totally bad episode. Kinda odd and I can kinda see why it was needed? The ending was odd to me though, and the next episode seems kinda lame..

They're probably working on the asumption the parents figured at some point since they're always with Ai-chan. Toei's writing is about as air-tight as a colander.

Never mind ALL of Cure Beauty's attacks were merely icy versions of Cure Aqua's water ones xD.

Well. I haven't seen Cure Aqua yet.

At least Beauty's character was a bit more fitting, although she was more fitting to be Diamond really.

Just Cure Diamond kinda came out of nowhere. What? Just because her hair color or what?

I do like her character in a way, I liked both characters. Just don't know why they bothered with having this one become Diamond.

At this point I can't tell if Ira really wants to defeat the Cures or does he just do it because he's being threatened by Bel. If he wasn't being threatened maybe he would leave Bel and go for Rikka ;) ;)

So Ai crying powers up the Villains? Why wasn't this ever touched on before or did it only happen recently in-universe?

Really liked the parts about parenting, really eye opening to people who aren't a parent yet that taking care of a baby is so physically and mentally exhausting. Also lmao Mana was already ahead of her age when she was a baby.

Are the writers forgetting the Jikochus summoned by that ring is much stronger than the regular Jikochus? Why does it feel like it wouldn't have been strong if it weren't for Ai's crying? Also at least Rosetta Reflection was used well in this episode, it should be used as a shield when the attack can't be avoided, not to block every single attack that comes. Love watching Ira seriously, glad he's participating in more fights. Diamond's new attack actually looks pretty good to me, for the effectiveness of the attack itself though hmm..... pretty average, just the typical immobilize enemy attack.

Rikka seems to be taking over Mana as the role of Mother for Ai. I'm still confused over what up with Ai though, all the attempts by the girls to make her laugh and the only thing she laughs at is Ira being a clown? Then she smiles after Rikka reassured her that things will be fine? There's like no pattern here. Also...... where's Joe??? I'm hoping some of these get touched on next episode.

As for the preview, Ai got a new tooth! Rip Lance is going to get his ear bitten but this time with much more force from the teeth. I'm surprised Makoto is getting cavities instead of Aguri, but I'm guessing it's because Makoto is afraid of the dentist and has never gone to one before. Actually considering she's an actual Cure taking the form of a human, I'm surprised she's affected by human health stuff too. Would not even have been surprised if "Legendary Warriors Precure" doesn't get cavities, after all they're magical an stuff.
