- Only two more episodes until lillian, things are heating up!
- It’s spring time in Animal Town
- I’ll be honest here, I wasn’t sure about WonPre at first, but man, this Yuki and Mayu arc is seriously incredible 🩵💚

Cute animal babies in this episode. :3

Yuki's secret was finally revealed. It was nice to see Nyammy's transformation.

Seeing how Cure Nyammi have that incredible transformation sequence, now I feel Cure Wonderful and Friendy should get a transformation update.

Had to be an duckling to fall in a hole. -Duckling rescue videos flashback-

Shame that the tiger isn't a Kirarin Animal.

I wish I could disagree with Yuki but, I see her point about Mayu running to danger after befriending Iroha and Komugi.

That's right. Komugi and Iroha have finally "discovered" what they should have figured out a few episodes back...

Baby animals are cute, but not melodrama. Cure Wonderful and Cure Friendy were fighting a tiger garugaru, but then afterwards, Yuki started acting like a "tiger parent" (or something):

"You can't associate with Mayu anymore"? "You're putting her in danger"? At this point, this is more than just Yuki "being a cat". This happens a lot in anime: a. "lone wolf" (or cat in this case) character, even after having some kind of understanding of friendship, still has a lot more to learn, not realizing she can't shoulder the weight of the world on her own. Mayu is Komugi and Iroha's friend. There's no way she's going to stop "associating" with them...I hope. I mean Mayu is so insecure, she might start doing what Yuki says without question. That would also be predictable. Meanwhile, Mayu is also Yuki's friend, and that's the most important point here. If Yuki didn't want Mayu to "get involved", then why did she let her take her home (as a cat) in the first place? Mayu IS ALREADY INVOLVED! Yuki needs to realize that she's going to need Mayu more than Mayu will need her. After all, Mayu is Yuki's first real friend...ever. Oh, but that's right. Yuki is so used to being alone, that her...uh, "first instinct" is to assume the worst case scenario and try to "protect" Mayu from getting "hurt" by trying to manage things on her own, thinking she doesn't need anyone, least of all two Pretty Cures who she thinks are putting Mayu in danger. [/sarcasm]

TL:DR, the metaphor here is obvious, and I wish the writers hadn't decided to take the easy out just to create "tension". I just hope Mayu listens to her heart, and will keep being friends with Komugi and Iroha, and that Yuki will give friendship (and Komugi and Iroha) a chance...a real chance.

OMG OMG. Finally the cat is out of the bag literally! Cure Nyammy reveals herself to Mayu and the girls and they COOKED. Her transformation and arrival is just pure aura, reminds me of the first time we saw cure majesty transform 😭

I really didn’t expect to get her reveal today, I thought it would be another blue ball episode with the girls going on a cute tour of the baby animals, but I guess in hindsight it was kinda obvious when they started giving lore about the animals and how hard life had been for them. Just like how Yuki had been thru such a hard time until Mayu found her

The animation was amazing for her debut and fight and so many screenshots worthy stills of Nyammy. The animators clearly love her like we do. But I couldn’t help laughing at how much of an asshole she is to Komugi and Iroha. Like I get that she wants to protect Mayu and keep her safe given all they’ve been thru, but damn, Iroha and Komugi just trying to help too lmao.🤣

Gonna be fun seeing how they try and get thru to her and work together going forward. Won’t be easy! This ep went by too quickly tho, felt like as soon as the picnic happened it was over 2 mins later lol I need more

Not like this is the first time in Precure this kind of tension happen.
Yuki indeed act like one of those lone wolf and this kind of feeling need to be sort of by the two of them.

An amazing episode again that really strengthens the bond between Mayu and Yuki, one of my favorite platonic relationships within the series. IDK how they will develop all of the plot points they currently have but it's ok! (for now)

It's just my Speculation, I think Yuki already can transform before she met Mayu. Maybe she got abandonded by previous owner because the owner thinks she is bakeneko(Ghost/Monster Cat).
Moreover, she already knew Human Language as Mayu said Goodbye(she came to see Mayu for the last time). And at this Episode, she fully remember how she met Mayu which Komugi didn't remember it(met Iroha) because she just a dog when their first met.
