Great episode and further proof that the current precure can't hold a candle to Moonlight. Yuri was pretty much hanging with Dark Precure without transforming.

A great episode indeed, with interesting story development. But i get the feeling Sabaaku is Yuri's father, since Dark Precure said to her "You're me". I suppose he made a replacement when he switched to the dark side...

The moment she said it, that is exactly what went through my head.

I like seeing the girls get tossed around XD

Is it me or just my imagination because i swear that the guy that keeps helping them looks like that presidents brother. maybe thats why he is sick because of the heart tree?

Agreed :D

Great episode. And what was with the giant dandelion tree? At first I though Tsubomi was actually looking at a flower, until I got another view, and I realized it was a tree-thingy.

Sabaaku is Yuri's dad.
It feels like something the anime would throw at us...

I think Sabaaku is Yuri's dad too since t dad left and hasn't return. I also think the fabulous guy is definitely the student president's brother too.

This episode had nice fight scenes. Go go precure! They are so cute.

Cure Moonlight is pretty badass even without her powers. It was nice to learn more about her.
The fights this episode were very good.
Fablous guy showed up again and was able to keep up with Dark Precure at least for a short time.
Overall a great episode.

Wait, what? I was not expecting such a blockbuster of an episode already, especially since we already got a pretty plot-heavy episode so recently. Wow. That confirmed a lot of suspicions and added some really interesting developments on top of some of the best fight scenes in the series thus far. That last one in particular was short, fast, and brutal.

And here I was thinking it would be a low-key episode that would at most go for some drama surrounding Yuri. Hah.

That's a lot to process.

I had already suspected that Yuri knew Tsubomi's grandmother since Chypre and Coffret were previously Yuri's fairies, and Coupe was their predecessor. She's a surprisingly serious person; the implications Tsubomi's grandmother is making might mean she wasn't always that way, though.

I had forgotten she was the one friend Momoka had.

The whole duality thing with Dark Precure and Yuri was unexpected and a bit confounding. I'm really curious how that was brought about by the leader of the Desert Apostles.

As for the mysterious man, there still haven't been many hints as to his actual identity, but I have pieces of a theory now. I'm starting to wonder if he's an analogue to the Desert Apostles' leader somehow like how Dark Precure is with Cure Moonlight. I'm almost certain that he has something to do with Yuri's father, in any case.

I'm looking forward to future developments.

This episode is why this season is the best in the whole Precure franchise.

Dang, what a great plot-centered episode! The Precure's sure got lucky, Dark Precure is really freaking strong. The fight was awesome, even if it was over quickly. This show is really addicting!

Now I'm beginning to understand why this season is so loved by the Precure Fandom. This episode was really good.

Dark Pretty Cure is very strong. She won't go down easily.

Heartcatch kicks ass, I'm not sure what else to say. Between Yuri dashing through the Desertrians and fending them off in her civilian form, and the Precures fight against the Dark Precure, this show is just a feast for action and slightly dark magical girl stories. I like that as a Precure show, it never goes full dark, still retaining that sense of optimism and charm. As a result, it maintains the right amount of seriousness to keep things interesting, but always veers back into its kid-friendly aesthetic -- the core aesthetic of the franchise. Heartcatch knows its identity, but since the series has existed for a few years by the time Heartcatch was created, it's able to create legacy characters an experiment with its own in-universe rules.

The evil Professor sounds kinda like Jouji Nakata, but apparently it's not him!

Not too much of a revelation about Dark Precure (maybe she isn't even the primary antagonist and a possible future ally?) and Cure Moonlight (their faces looked so damn similar!) but still nice. I guess the fabulous guy is Koupe-sama (who else?)

While its pretty cool Yuri is holding herself in a fight, I feel like it doesn't make any sense. Even without transforming she seems super strong and fast. Maybe not Cure level but still beyond what most humans are capable of. I don't think civilian forms are supposed to have any of the Cure's power?

I know who that mystery man is, but I'm surprised he doesn't join fights more.

Also why did Sabaku call Dark Cure off? Wasn't the whole purpose of sending her out to defeat all the Cures?
