FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFuck!

I wanted a happy ending for Michiru and Kaoru.
I think it's all the Precure's fault as they just stood there watching as they were being zapped by the purple finger lasers. Way to go you two.

I kinda agree with what both of you said.

Now two new whatevers come from the other land. Probably going to get as annoying as all of them in the last show of Max Heart.

Favorite episode so far.Usually dislike when the bad guys turn good due to the power of friendship but it works really well in this franchise imo (just like with Futari Wa and Kiriya),really sad to see Michiru and Kaoru go.

I was annoyed by Michiru and Kaoru all the time but in the end I felt bad for them, they really progressed as characters and I liked them more than Kiriya whom I actually disliked.

Even though I hope that the new creatures are not Michiru an Kaoru reborn, mabye that they reapear near the end but not reborn as these new creatures which I hope are not as annoying as Porrun and Lullun

Love it. Goes to show how powerful Akudaikan is, and also I love the sacrifice of Michiru and Kaoru.

This episode was insane. Can you imagine the little children who watched this weekly seeing this for the first time? This shit must of blew their minds! That ending, oh God the screaming, it's so abrupt but in the best way. The series can be so dramatic, I can't praise it enough.

I think this is the first time between in Precure that the main leads experienced actual loss and have it feel appropriately heavy. Whenever the main leads have their loved ones, their friends, or even their city at stake, they always pull through because Precure isn't the kind of show to put neither their leads nor their audience through significant trauma. However, with villain-turned friends, that's slightly different. In a sense, they are expendable, but they're also capable of character growth to an extent. Because of that, the writing can take more risks with characters like Kaoru and Michiru. While I would have preferred to see them stick around longer to develop further, such as exploring their inner natures, giving Saki and Mai an actual reason to fight works too. All I want is for the main characters to experience some manner of character growth, and if loss of friends is how the writing decides to go about it, then I'll take what I can get. Loss is something that happens in life, and it's hard to teach kids this. However, it's just as hard to teach kids about how to move on past loss, so I'm curious to see how Pretty Cure decides to address this, as it's not something I've see the series attempt to tackle.

One of the best episodes of all the Precure franchise. Michiru and Kaoru were really the best antagonists.

Really sad they had to die... they could have become Precure's real friends.
