I’ve seen many Precure tournaments on this website, but none dedicated to one of the most catchy aspects of Precure: it’s music!
Welcome to the Pretty Cure Opening Showdown, where every single Precure OP will go head to head, to see which song is most beloved!
I matched every OP chronologically, except in cases where I needed some minor rearranging to make sure an OP was pitted against its alternate version in the first round, and the English OPs were grouped together at the end. You’ll also notice a three way split between The Great Pretty Cure Gathering and it’s two alternate versions, Light of Hope and Flower of Life, both because of an otherwise uneven number and also to condense each song into it’s Best Version before everyone really starts duking it out.
Linked songs will be their TV edits, as they would be heard before an episode/movie, and wherever possible I’ll embed the OP itself, not just audio.
Current polls linked here, previous rounds under the cut!
EDIT:: AND THAT'S ALL, FOLKS! Suite Precure has come out on top with the best opening song!! Thank you to everyone for voting and for making this such a fun tournament to host! Keep your eyes on this blog, the next Precure Music Tournament will be to determine the best ENDING song! :D

I hope no one minds me @’ing them for reach, and I hope this isn’t a breech of poll etiquette, but here are a variety of tournaments/brackets that I really enjoy that seemed thematically relevant to my tournament here.
