One of the many, many aspects that I really liked from this week's Hirogaru Sky ep is how it handled one of Sora's predicament for the finale arc.

If you may remember, Sora got herself to ponder really hard on something: If she and Skearhead (or as I like to call him, Baldie) fought for the people that they loved, why did they went on a completely opposite path?

At the time, Sora had no answer for it and Shalala pointed out that she needs to find the answer by herself. It led Sora to be pretty persistent at trying to speak to Baldie and later Kaiserin, only to get consistently thwarted by either Baldie escaping before she got the chance or the spear stab by Baldie on Kaiserin right when Sora's about to ask Kaiserin about it.

It's something that I felt is answered during this week's ep: It's because the feelings that Sora had and her fight for the people she loved is driven by her genuine love for them.

We see that Baldie's love was exposed as a facade because he only sees others as just pawns and vessels. He "loved" Kaiserin because he manipulated and brainwashed her mind to that state.

Sora, on the other hand, discovered that her fight for the ones she loved is genuine. Sora had been slowly but surely came into realization that she can really put her trust and love in the people that she know, a point that becomes critical this week.

She put her trust in Majesty, Wing and Butterfly to fend off the entrance and when she got corrupted with Undergu Energy and became Dark Sky, her first priority is to save Mashiro. Why? Because she had her full faith in Mashiro to save her thanks to the bond that Sora had built over the course of the season.

Ultimately, this is what led to Skearhead's undoing because he failed to realize that love had to be earned genuinely, which led to his undoing because his simple minded obsession with power gave Sora and Mashiro the chance to blindside him from within with the power of love.

It is something that can be expanded upon had Baldie isn't as secretive as he is, but what we have here is an excellent resolution to the ongoing arc of Hirogaru Sky and the perfect way to show how far SoraMashi's bond has went through 💙

“I told you I loved you, that was the biggest lie of all” wow this got dark! Crazy plot twist at the climax here of Hirogaru Sky!

In hindsight, Skearhead’s big reveal as the villain should’ve been seen coming. I couldn’t for the life of me see a reason why the princess would turn on the emperor and Kaiserin, especially after her conversation with Ellee last week..

I also think the motivation is very weak. So he’s basically just looking for a vessel? I mean it is a show intended for little kids, so I can’t really be too mad about that. But killing the emperor and almost killing kaiserin is a big deal for the weak reason he gave..

On the plus side, did really love seeing everyone come together and trust in one another during the battle in the undergu empire. Ageha and Tsubasa staying behind to hold off the minions, princess holding off the energy blast and giving Sora some words of encouragement, awesome. Show started with Sora and Mashiro so it’s only right they shine in the climax.

Action scenes were so good today too. The fights were so fluid. Sora’s dark transformation(awesome design too!) Mashiro standing up in the face of an incoming undergu punch.. chills. Toei can cook when they want.

Kaiserin finally has friends and we’re set up for a nice end to the story. Really going to be sad to see this end. My first precure and I’m hooked on this for sure.

Hirogaru Sky Final Impressions (5/5)

Honestly, what were they going to do with those two weeks after 48 episodes? Have us wait until WonPre's broadcast? Yea right, lol

So the 20th installment of Precure is now officially finished and it feels both great and a little bit sad to say that since the bar has been readjusted quite high, we will probably need the 25th anniversary to get another season as awesome and well-written as HiroPre. [/harsh]

But that will be for something to worry about in the next five years.

So first, that finale!

Pretty much 5(ish) of the 6 last episodes was a whole arc dedicated to the most engaging lore Precure has ever given us to date.

Cure Noble is definitely entering the league of legacy Cures and perhaps as the one with the best story as well. How she went from princess-sovereign to becoming the very first Precure (in this universe, anyways) to helping pave a way for peace with her nemesis to laying out the foundation for the Cures who will succeed her in the future.

Yeap, Ellee-chan may have gotten a nice age-up bonus so that we can see her embrace her destiny and actually converse in something other than baby talk.

But it's more accurate to say that Ellee-chan/Cure Majesty's character arc is really Princess Elleelain/Cure Noble's instead.

Which is totally fine with me. Not only was Elleelain super interesting as a hero/protagonist in her own era but Kaiserin was...dear god.

Dear god, when have we gotten a twist that was this good and this dark by the series' standards? I felt we haven't touched this level of grim writing since Heartcatch and that was my first Precure season ever.

But seriously, it's impossible not to sympathize with Kaiserin and appreciate how much she contributed to the plot as well as this season's message that power is not what makes a hero, but the strength of one's heart that does.

Even her traitorous tutor, Skearhead, said she had what it took to become a hero (and maybe even Precure? oooh~), which just makes her fall into darkness more tragic.

But thankfully, she never lost her kindness and compassion, which was what ultimately allowed her to not only be saved but her wounds to finally heal after hundreds of years of suffering from the pain of betrayal Skearhead had inflicted on her.

And that her generals, who all turned over a new leaf, came back to the Undergu Empire to loyally serve her and make sure she isn't alone...

Good! This is so satisfying, I couldn't have asked for anything better! Kaiserin deserves her happiness after all she's been through!

But of course, that's not all because no Precure finale is complete without the last episodes dishing out the best combat scenes of the entire season and did it deliver, alright.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-HUH!

The animation was absolutely stellar and not so overdone that it'd look more gaudy than cool. coughDeliPaPrecough

Moreover, the teamwork is what really sold the animation. As it should because Precure is all about that team effort brought on by personal growth, not a one-man show.

I loved how Wing, representing wisdom, was the one everyone trusted to get that barrier back up because it is a mechanism that he researched and developed to help everyone. It proves that boys don't need to fit into a specific mold of masculinity or genius to be a hero because in the end, those things don't matter. It's being true to yourself, your beliefs and your dreams and what you choose to do with those abilities that counts.

I loved how Butterfly, who is physically the strongest in the group, always takes on the tougher tasks such as facing the army of tedious mooks to let those younger than her forge a path ahead. She never forgets her responsibility as an adult to protect the kids but she also encourages them to move forward because she fully believes in them like a good adult would.

I loved how Majesty comes to understand that though she's meant to inherit Cure Noble's will and power and position as Skyland's princess, it's not her destiny to inherit Elleelain's loneliness. And the whole reason that she started out as a baby but was able to grow and become Precure was because she was surrounded by the right people who brought out that potential in her. For Ellee-chan, being with her friends and fighting alongside them was the bigger, more important destiny than her duty was.

Finally, the star duo of the show.

Sky was given stronger MC vibes than the other cast members but you can't deny that she wouldn't have gotten this far without Prism by her side.

Sora's idea of what it means to be hero expanded a lot because she became friends with Mashiro.

She has come to treasure Mashiro so much that when she was on the brink of losing her best friend, she let Skearhead corrupt her in order to have enough power to save that best friend. She was willing to sacrifice herself for someone important to her, which in a way, can be seen as an act of heroism (but only as a last resort, plz do not attempt).

And even then, Sky kept resisting from being taken over. Prism didn't even flinch when Sky aimed a punch at her. That's how much Mashiro believes in Sora, in the hero that Sora is. That even if Sora accepted darkness into herself to do the right thing, she won't ever let that darkness consume her into doing the wrong thing.

And the fact that it was Prism who had the ability to not only purify Sky but also heal Kaiserin's centuries-old wound. She's come a long way herself from the girl who used to think she was talentless, who didn't believe she had anything special going for her.

"You are good as you are now, Mashiro-san."

What Sora said was true until the very end. Mashiro didn't ever need to change. She was already good enough and she was always going to become even better than how she started out because she was always being inspired and supported by those around her and challenging herself to do things she initially hesitated on doing.

Now she's continually drawing new stories, even winning an award for one. Even her Prism Shot evolved and multiplied as an attack and it's all because she learned to believe in herself because all her friends believed in her.

This is essentially what sets Precure apart from the others, what makes it the major name it is in modern day mahou shoujo.

I cannot begin to describe how glad I am that the staff at Toei reinforced those aspects of friendship as well as the celebration of individualism in a milestone year. But I can definitely say with confidence that we can expect to see more well into the franchise's 30th anniversary as long they don't forget these two very crucial things.

As for me, I think this will be the last time I blog Precure on a "regular" basis.

I'll still continue to watch cuz hey, there's no reason for me to stop yet.

(and all the more reason to not stop if Satoru and Daifuku become the next two male Cures in WonPre OMGI'MSOGONNAJINXTHISAREN'TIBWUAHAHAHAHA!!!)

But my priorities have shifted so I gotta tend to those foremost. And as much as I enjoy the show, I feel like I'm always saying the same stuff over and over again anyway, just in different variations of it.

(also, something about WonPre tells me the next four years will be filled with hit-or-miss seasons so meh, I'd rather just follow it leisurely than get too invested and then disappointed)

On another note, I do have some personal rankings that I'd like to post some day. I was going to do it for the 20th anniversary but didn't have time to cuz life got way too hectic and busy but yea, eventually I'll have them up.

Just for fun, y'know.

Ok, that is all.

Thank you, my hero girls and boy! You made this season so wonderful hahahaha, good luck, WonPre for me and I can't be grateful enough for it.

Thank you for a beautiful anniversary! Let's aim for the next!

25th year with 100+ Precure!

Let's gooooooooooooo!!!

After the cliffhanger at the end, 300% Skearhead is responsible for the differences between how Ellelain remembers her birthday and how Kaiserin remembers it.

Ellelain:

- Is visited by Kaiser and Kaiserin and given a handmade doll as a present. She's overjoyed and Kaiserin is happy Ellelain likes the present.

- Ellelain still has the doll with her even in the spirit realm.

Kaiserin:

- Visits Ellelain and gives her a handmade doll as a present. Ellelain then makes a strange face.

She has her guards enter the room and she kills Kaiser right in front of Kaiserin. She tries to kill Kaiserin too but Spearhead intervenes and takes Kaiserin back to Undergu.

So my current theory is that Spearhead did something to the doll, so he could briefly mind-control Ellelain into killing Kaiser and trying to kill Kaiserin. And since he knew that would happen, he made a "knight in shining armour" entrance for Kaiserin. That would also explain why Ellelain doesn't remember any of this happening.

The only thing that doesn't fit here is how Ellelain never learns she killed Kaiser despite having dozens of guards seeing it. Unless they got their memories altered as well, somehow.

You remind me of her (/derogatory?)

What he was doing with the empress 300 years before. It's probably the same kind of lessons he gave her #both Sora and Mashiro probably remind him of his student #and everything he worked hard to get rid of in her in order to make her strong

Hirogaru Sky! Pretty Cure, Episode 44 but only Empress Undergu's scenes

Did Crunchyroll really translate Kaiserin Undergu as Empress Undergu? Because I keep seeing people either call her Empress Undergu or "The Empress." Like, come on. She's called "Kaiserin" when she's a kid. KAISER UNDERGU CALLS HER KAISERIN. It is almost certainly her name despite being a royal title. And even if it wasn't, it's still treated as her name and names don't get translated. If it was just a title, I still don't understand why you would call her "Empress." Kaiserin isn't Japanese, making it a clear stylistic choice rather than a generic royal title. This is baffling to me.
