I unironically loved this episode.

I think it was good enough and it'll spawn a ton of shipping speculation that'll keep people interested for a few weeks.

>>283127556
No it wasn't.

I wonder where that anon is now...

Precure Live 2025 was enjoyable-puri.
Too bad for the people who didn't watch it after the absolute shill episode last week.

>>283127610
how many lauras

>>283127620
Are they... y'know?

Must be an Oricon article, or from AnimateTimes I bet.

Kaito blush
>>283127491
Jogi is definitely the more outgoing and charismatic of the two. You can see during their montage how Jogi really sparkles.
I wonder if that's what made Darkiine recruit him and make him her right-hand man / favorite? She might like pretty boys, or just like seeing the most dazzling light being covered in jet-black dizzying darkness.
Man, Darkiine x Jogi x Kaito might be really interesting. I just wish we knew more about Darkiine.

is cheap yaoibait really enough to make people like a character?
this seems like a bad precedent if Kaito's just gonna disappear again until the finale and all the Jogi stuff will be put on hold until then

>>283127641
...measuring?

Uta will cure Kaito's homosexuality!

That wasn't part of the latest LINE stamp release, I think.

>>283127662
Nobody likes either of them, it's just shitposting.

>>283127555
Kokoro unironically thinks that's normal fan behavior because she does the same with her Idol and Wink merch

>>283127677
"Sword fighting"

>>283127555
How come there's 0 fanart of Meroron with a Zukyoon daki

>>283127681
Can she holy fuck?

Utabros, we won

>>283127677
Each other's dicks with their hands

Kaito being the reason Uta gets a super form sets a bad precedent. Now we won't get the ex-generals giving Nana and Kokoro super forms.
I wonder if they're setting the stage for "our love for Uta gives us the super form".

>>283127655
I made a webm of the entire montage.
See how Jogi has the Cure Idol shit grin at around 0:07? He's a born center, forced to muck around in the shadows while his shy and introspective partner steals the spotlight.

Bandai and Toei Animation's wet dream.

>>283127662
I could see them focusing on Chokkirine for the next few episodes, redeem her, then do Jogi for the finale or prefinale arc.

>>283127693
No, that's not the position for that. Trust me.

>>283127718
>Uta reminded Kaito of a younger Kazuma
That would be hilarious.

KOI NO MAKU
I love you Kokoro-chan

>>283127727
She needs the Christmas episode. I want the other two former generals helping her like what happened in Hugtto.

>>283127754
>Uta reminded Kaito of a younger Kazuma
Despite typing up all that, I didn't think about that at all. I think you might be on to something.
That'd be super hilarious.

>>283127718
Do you have one of these for Headmaster and Bonerboy?

Just woke up, how was the latest Idolzzz snoozer?

>>283127827
go back to sleep

>Kaito=Tako-san wiener that Uta wants to eat
That's... not a bad way to put it, Purirun.

>>283127827
So bad we reached 1k posts insulting it

You have to learn how to suck dick better than Jogi if you want to win...

Uh anon, your Happiness Charge? Yes, this technically counts.

>>283127987
Dumb shitposter.

>>283128020
I wasn't expecting ex-general fairy screentime this episode, but it's always fun when they appear. I like them a lot.

>>283127987
Smart poster

>>283128039
Cuttin might have become more of a generic Idol Precure fan but Zakkurin remains a hardcore Wink fan, it's funny to watch.

>>283127943
Thanks 2chan, for reminding us that sex sells (even if it's gay sex aimed at little girls).

>>283128075
I'd love a kyun2 stand.

>>283127987
Precure has so many wonderful ships and fetishes. What a great franchise.

>>283128086
I bet these are actually products sold in the actually Pretty Stores.
Go get her!

>>283128080
they're lovin it

The reality is probably a Chinese factory somewhere.

>>283128080
Can you fuck off now? You already spammed one thread, are you going to do it again?

>>283127987
Suite had a tiny bit of hetbait between Seiren and Ouji, but that's nothing compared to Idol's hetbait. The previews of episodes 35 and 37 really egged people on, not to mention the entirety of episode 4. Pretty much everyone fell for it back then.

>>283128113
>half-intertwined fingers

>>283128113
The shot of their legs and feet going up as they fell back was the gayest part

>>283128110
Not in japan unfortunately.

>>283127864
Lmaooo

I learned something new today.
Anyone using "het" or "bait" are shitposters, no exceptions.
It's too damn hard to discuss the episodes here because of this garbage.

>>283128156
You can probably use something like White Rabbit to order from their online store, if you really want to.
It's more convenient than going to Japan, although I have no idea how tariffs work these days.

>>283127987
>TR
>fujobait
How is this possible when males are nonexistent in TR?

I'd most probably feel something if it wasn't Merorot saying that.
What a shame.

>>283128203
What part of he's shitposting do you not get?

>>283128113
I've never seen Kaito this happy, he must really love Jogi

>>283128243
He's never been anywhere near this expressive before this flashback.

>>283128185
it's like this everywhere, shipping is all most people care about
and it's not like anything else happened this episode

>>283128271
That hand at the end is very Ueno.

>>283128243
Poor guy has been dead inside for so long. Maybe 3-5 years if he was about Uta's age back then

>>283128266
>it's not like anything else happened this episode
Don't lie like that again.

>>283128271
Look at that pained expression... he must really miss Jogi's dick

>>283128311
3 years. He said he moved out from the town after graduating middle school IIRC.

>>283128317
Nothing happened this episode. Point to the "something" that happened if you disagree.

>>283128297
I like the implication that when he was looking out to the sea in episode 4, he was thinking about Kazuma

>>283128331
New powerup, the fun scenes at the Pretty Store, and the fight are a few things.
Fuck off.

>>283128317
>poorly executed platonic friendship power up with a reused song that's just a pallet swap
yeah I wonder why people aren't talking about it

A wise person on 2chan drew comparison between Jogi and Red.
Jealousy is a terrible thing. Although I wonder what exactly Darkine offered Jogi to make him fall this far. Could she have used something like a Heart Kirari Lock to remove his jealous in return for his loyalty?
>>283128266
I don't mind the shipping talk because like you said, there wasn't much else happening this episode. But people trying to start fights over it are probably just trolling.

>>283128301
>Ueno
I've never been able to really identify his style.

>>283128298
Guess I'm just out of touch but I would have thought that doing an age gap ship like this would bring complaints from parents in 2025.

>>283128354
>A wise person on 2chan drew comparison between Jogi and Red.
I can do that too.
They are both trash.

>first MeroPuri yuri

It's like the universe is punishing hetards for being too cocky since the last season.

>>283128365
Why is Jogi trash? He's cool and handsome.

>>283128371
>tards
Oh right, that was the other sign that someone is shitposting.
Thanks.

>>283128355
He was the AD for the ep (under Kuon Ragi), though the character designer corrected much of his work as the CAD. That hand is very recognizably Ueno though, he just draws them a certain way.

>>283128371
It would be one thing if it were just that, but they strung along hetfags for 3 whole cours. That's extra sadistic

>>283128382
>Thank you for playing.
You think this is a game?

>>283128119
It feels like Idol is riding on Wonderful’s coattails but it now won’t amount to anything now that we learned Kaito is still not over his friend (totally not homo).

>>283128398
>Kuon Ragi
Ahhhh
I'll trust you on that recognizable hand, senpai

>>283128414
Don't reply to shitposters that hate Precure.

>>283128371
The most hilarious about all this is that they keep falling for the hetbaiting every single time.
Literal crumbs will keep them going.

concert yea

>>283128354
>probably

>>283128438
What about shitposters that love precure?

gay

>>283128466
yaoi hands

>>283128464
There are posters that love precure and shitposters that love shitposting. They are not the same.

>>283128464
Impossible.

Does this count as the first official full team panty shot of the franchise?

broken hearted

>>283128484
Yes. It counts.

>>283128419
I'm suddenly feeling bad for Uta.

Gonna repost this from the last thread.
Our ever reliable Chinese uploader has uploaded the Idol live show:
(1PM show) https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1cCWxzpESk/
(8PM show) https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1MaWtzBEQm
I still haven't finished watching it, but it's surprisingly fun. I had completely missed the ED2 single extra songs, but they are pretty good.

>>283128364
that's probably why they made it so aggressively platonic
Back when Idol first started I thought they were gonna do a Homare/Harry type plotline with KaitoUta and dip into the whole "idols can't have relationships" angle but I guess that was too spicy for parents

>>283128476
What does that even mean? Guys tend to have big hands. Are literal kids posting here?

>>283128492
Can you fap to it?

>Kaito's most important song was for a boy, Jogi, this whole time
someone probably said that already, but it's a nice reminder and so unironically romantic. This isn't the first l implied BL in precure, but I think it's the cutest one because the guys have a very boyish and innocent feel when together, and one of them didn't die yet. This season isn't afraid to actually be somehow progressive with love, I hope they can pull this off well and make a gay version of Special Wonderful (implicit)

They should call Narita, leave it to her to write a crazy episode for them

>>283128508
>and one of them didn't die yet
uh-oh...

>>283128508
>and one of them didn't die yet
Bonerboy was still cute

>>283128419
>My heart is broken but I promise I'll do everything I can to help you reunite with your boyfriend, Kaito-senpai!

like in 7 episodes from now at this rate

>>283128508
meh, Gozyuger did this plotline better

geh

>>283128543
Expected from a more mature show

That was the gayest scene in Precure since Mahou and the couple of gay magicians

This time it's very personal.

>>283128581
HHNNNGGGGGGGGGG

>>283128500
I don't know if I would call it aggressively platonic, I think a parent who watches with their kid will probably interpret Uta as crushing on Kaito with all of the blushing, but I guess as long as they don't overdo it from Kaito's side in return it'll be safe enough for parents.

>>283127614
But it is censored shit mero... no swimsuit episode in kimipri due to Ishiba's censorship mero... which even dog had mero..
would precure next season have swimsuit episode as Ishiba has fallen mero?

>>283128543
I mean, this is no peak BL, it's precure, a glorified toy commercial with soccer moms after it and a younger target audience. For a sanitized little girls show, this is still a lot, it will be their window to the genre
>>283128524
you are right, I felt for them, you can argue it was purer given that Kushee sacrificed himself for him, but he and the principal had mostly serious flashbacks, while these 2 are getting some very wholesome scenes, like, love blooming between them, and we'll get more

Hhmmm...

THEY'RE GAY! THEY'RE GAY HOMOSEXUALS!!! TWO MEN ARE IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER!!!

>>283128677
Yes!

>>283128677
Gross!

Uta sweetie... he's not interested.

>>283128642
>For a sanitized little girls show, this is still a lot,
bruh fucking Kamen Rider gets away with more, this is baby shit

>>283128634
Sanae will allow it.
I consulted a fortune cookie to make sure my post is accurate, you can trust me.

>>283128695
Poor Uta.

basically, this is a Kirarin/Pikario plot, but instead of sibilings, it's with gay lovers/friends. I can see where both Pikario and Kazuma are coming from, I do hope they go through with it this time, and maybe finally inserting some shady things about the industry as well because this season lacked that completely and kids need to know

As the person who posted that the new general was Kaito's ex during Jogi's debut episode, I would like to post I told you so.

>>283128735
>maybe finally inserting some shady things about the industry
after the "being a stalker is good actually" episode I doubt they'll ever do that

>>283128752
what is that place called again?

Who would want to associate with a useless general like Chokkirine?

>>283128697
that's the point I was making: for baby shit, this is a lot, we aren't watching Hikaru or Yuri on Ice lmao

Kaman rider has a boys audience, blood and darker moments, it makes sense for them to push things further. Do not forget precure suits are extremely anal and became worse by the years passing, so this is something.

>>283128770
Mushroom Kingdom

>>283128739
I always believed you anon

>>283128735
This show isn't nearly idol industry focused enough to comment on that. It's more focused on the fan base side than the idol side.

>>283128674
lmao

>>283128739
/pc/ had been saying Kaito and Jogi possibly had a relationship (most likely homosexual) in the past for months now, but hetfags plugged their ears and refused to listen.
And today, the inescapable Reality came to slap them in the face like the dumb whores they are.

>>283128779
>>283128697
Fuck off.

>>283128813
Thanks anon

>>283128812
>Uta after watching Kaito and Jogi's backstory

>>283128814
true...but personally I can't get over the fact that their villain is literally a generic darkness queen instead of something related to the theme. The Witch of Delays had more depth to her character. They really aren't doing anything at all with the theme and that's frustrating because worshipping the idols 24/7 every ep just because, they're idols, is getting tiresome

>>283128827
What do you gain from lying? There was a troll, you most likely, that said they had nothing between them and others said it was possible.

>>283128827
I just thought it was bad writing to tie a minor character to a major villain and though Kaito's friend would be some one-off VotW

>>283128870
>The Witch of Delays had more depth to her character
All of that was revealed late. Nothing says that they can't do the same again.

>>283128832

Restraining Cures

>>283128813
Mey mey deserved so much better than being kicked around by Daifuku. It felt mean spirited, hopefully they're mending things up with Idol

I guess only pretty boys get to live gay romance

UTA NEEDS HER KAITO-SAN

>>283128904
He got exactly what he deserved.

>>283128884
Based piggy. I'll season you with my best spices.

>>283128888
yes, but "Witch of delays" already suggested something more than "Darkiine" does, and I remember we got to know she was ill by this point.

>>283128941
Not really.

<3<3<3<3

>>283128896
I love precure too.

>>283128921
why?

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Uh oh, super melty

>>283128964
"... and he was gay all along"
>>283128292

>>283128941
we know Darkiine is some ancient evil that was born alongside Meroron
it's already more than most generic evil blob villains

>>283128976
kaito on the left

>>283128984
Because he was trying to mess with Iroha and Satoru's date.
They became friends afterwards anyway so it's all fine.

>>283128976
Is this "sword fighting?"

>>283128964
>the single earring
why didn't anybody notice this before?

>>283129024
it was noticed before

>>283129012
Yes I agree.

>>283129024
i did
everyone who wasnt blind did

>>283129024
You're very stupid, aren't you?

It finally happened, someone broke

>>283129012
he was kicked by Daifuku when he hugged Satoru at the end, that's what I was talking about. That's his ending..

>>283129033
Ace fucked THAT?

>>283129046
happens every year

>>283129024
He's wearing it in the straight ear anyway. Ire wears his in the gay ear.

Hetfags finally went insane after too much bullying

I love the fight scenes.

>>283129047
You have to admit, it was a pretty nice kick.

seems like this time they might make things official. You could say that happened with Hugtto, but it was only heavily implied. This thing is plot relevant and Uta powered up with it

I'll support Uta till the end.

>>283129080
I won't because fuck the rabbit

>>283129070
Don't even try that. It doesn't need to be one or the other side, can't we just agree that it's a human piece of garbage and leave it at that?
>>283129086
I'm not sure what you mean.

>>283129123
would Mayu be a fujo as well? Or she sticks to het only?

>>283129114
Daifuku is cool. Komugi agrees.

>>283129144
She embraces all kinds of love

>>283129144
She's interested in her friends getting together.

>>283129144
considering she's part Narita self inserting, only het. Narita seems to not be fond of gay stories at all, unless they're yuri lite

>>283129144
Nothing points to her being a supercreep.

>>283129160
Why is she posted shipping characters outside her show then?

>>283129123
Yes
Boys and girls
Boys and boys
Girls and girls
Women and birds

>>283129144
I feel like most precures would support love regardless of whether its straight or gay. Love is too precious to discriminate.
Also, Mayu is quite gay herself.

>>283129165
>considering she's Narita self inserting
ftfy

>>283129184
Women and cats

>>283129024
People noticed but brushed it off since Kaito wore it in the straight ear. It only become noteworthy when Jogi came in wearing the same earing on the gay ear.

>>283129186
Mayu said she's never been in love so try again.

>>283129193
Holy shit I never noticed that!
They ARE a couple

>>283129186
>support
yes, most cures are good girls with an open mind and aiming for a better world
>fangirl over it
I doubt it. But Mayu would I think. I hope for Uta she will as well, so she's not too heartbroken

So this is the special power of love, not bad...

>>283128721
We're supposed to feel sorry for the girl who's led on and turned down dozens of people herself?

>>283129225
>who's led on and turned down dozens of people herself?
I really hope this is part of a gimmick.

>>283129194
If she's never been in love how can she counsel others about it and intrude in their romantic affairst then?

>>283127555
>every "het kaito" episode has yuri and yaoi shipping
lmao even

uh, this place has been cohesively supportive of gayness, last thread went crazy for it. What happened? I thought most of you were chuds

>>283129241
There's no rule that says you have to be in love to discuss love.

is Idol the most woke Precure since Hugtto
they even made a potential love interest gay like western shows love to do

>>283129251
U-uh... she's kind of hot...

>>283129252
Isn't that great? Everyone cares about Kaito-sama now.

>>283129256
You shouldn't discuss about something you know nothing about.

>>283127555
I hate that they reduced most of Kokoro's screentime to a catchphrase because as a character she isn't half bad but never let her shine truly after mother's day

>>283129259
Adorbs!!!!

>>283129283
Another shitposter that doesn't watch Idol.

>>283129266
NOTHING CHANGED, ONLY THE HAIR IS PINK NOW

>>283129267
I still don't care about him much, can't forgive how he treated Idol back then. I'm more interested in what's going on with Jogi

>>283129314
>I still don't care about him much, can't forgive how he treated Idol back then
You mean supporting her? Yeah, damn him for helping Uta, right?

>>283129186
From around Fresh onwards. Cures before that are a mixed bag due to being born in the late 80s to early 90s.

Nagisa: Hates gay people
Honoka: Tolerant
Hikari: Tolerant
Saki: Hates gays
Mai: Tolerant
Nozomi: Dislikes gays a little
Rei: Same
Yes 5 Yellow, Blue, and Green: Tolerant
Milk: Very homophobic

After that there's no more Cure homophobes.

>>283129314
>can't forgive how he treated Idol back then
Uta did not have her revenge on Kaito-sama from episode 4 after all. Hope you don't mind.

>>283129252
this place is overwhelmingly yurifags who hate straight romance and are celebrating because a gay ship killed one.
I guess they were bitching about fujos last year because Satoru/Daifuku didn't kill SatoIro

>>283129328
Stalking her around every corner is creepy as fuck, even for a gay man

>>283129335
I can only see Milk and maybe Nagisa, to a lesser extent. How are Nozomi and Saki homophobic? Even headcanon wise, it doesn't make sense

>>283129354
>this place is overwhelmingly yuri
It is not. You aren't on /u/, idiot.

>>283129252
A man or woman's sexual orientation is their own business. As long as they don't rape my ass, I'm fine with most things.
>>283129272
It depends. Emotional support doesn't actually require much experience. It's like rubber duck debugging: Iroha needed to talk about her feelings. Mayu was someone she could at.
Of course, there are more difficulty scenarios, but in this case, Mayu knew Satoru also liked Iroha, so providing the needed support required almost no experience. She just had to let their relation follow its natural course and at most nudge it along.

>>283129359
He isn't gay and when did he even stalk Uta?

>>283129359
Stalking Uta is pretty normal. A lot of guys do that.

>>283129354
many yurifags ARE chuddies, anon. Yuri bait itself is a chud thing. Boys are gross but It's ok when girls do it, as long as they do not commit to it and I can fetishize them

wouldn't a chud yurifag imagine himself raping the girls into straightness instead of seething about men though

>>283129464
Yeah but Reddit doesn't nominate gay girls, only gay guys.

>>283129484
>raping the girls into straightness
You're confused. Those are hetfags.

It's kind of amazing how much Wonderful Precure is influencing this season in one particular aspect.

>>283129500
>>283129484
>>283129487
Fuck off.

>>283129484
Why would a yurifag want to turn a girl straight?
You make no sense.

>>283129505
True. Both seasons had gay characters, but Mehmeh was a sheep.

>>283129484
that what I was saying with
>as long as they do not commit to it and I can fetishize them
notice that in most "yuri" shows the girls never kiss or get an actual romantic moment? there's a whole anime making a point about this
>seething about men though
can't help retardation
>>283129487
kek, should've seen this coming. Hikaru is gay too after all

This is the best episode ever! Uta has moved on from Kaito so now she will date me! I'm so happy!

This is what an optimal idol bean store looks like. By removing redundant variations, production and logistics can be made efficient. Everyone may not get their ideal bean experience, but they get a satisfactory experience at the best price.

>>283129538
>Hikaru is gay
Not even once in ST.

>>283129528
When Nana and Kokoro were pushing away the airheaded Purirun, it reminded me of Mayu-sama and Yuki getting the clueless Komugi away from a confession scene on the sunset beach.

It's the exact same thing.

>>283129561
it's a nice detail

>>283129555
Hikaru is literally married to Lala

>>283129552
Don't shitpost with Himari.

>>283128990
Guessing it will probably be like
>Jogi gets purified
>Kazuma and Kaito hug
>Kazuma winks to Uta going I'll support you ;)
>Uta freaks out while Kaito is clueless
Going by how this episode played to both sides.

>>283129178
>get new toy after fist bumping your motw crush

>>283129538
>notice that in most "yuri" shows the girls never kiss
but I've seen lots of yuri anime with kisses, it's usually more for fanservice than anything romantic but it's still there

>>283129442
>許せない
>"unforgivable"
SEAESL cringelators at it again.

>>283129573
>Going by how this episode played to both sides.
What does that mean? What sides?

Hikaru and Lala are Mirai and Liko lite, but I'd argue it could be a romance like it could be a very deep friendship, it's not as implicit as Mirai and Liko. They're definitely soulmates tho, Hikaru thought about Lala until the very end

>>283129624
They are all just friends. They will only ever be friends because Japan is full of cowards too afraid to push a relationship between them for real.

>>283129505
>Purirun is the Komugi this season

>>283129599
that's the point. They kiss so the audience gets off to it, like a soft porn, but there are hardly romantic moments

>>283129233
If my gimmick is calling people out for their crimes, then sure.

I'm not a fan of this season but I'll support Uta's quest for Special Kirakkiranran till the end.

>>283129614
Best and only subs for suite btw
Meanwhile people ignore the better HC subs for doremi when commie for once like a broken clock made good subs

>>283129652
you have to read between the lines, Mirai and Liko's romance was very implicit, but it was definitely there, they kiss in the manga
>inb4 that's not canon
still licensed by Toei. Purirun and Meroron are also more than friends, you don't kiss your friend like Meroron did

>>283129538
Sex with Hikaru oneesan

>>283129676
What does she say there?

>>283129538
>notice that in most "yuri" shows the girls never kiss or get an actual romantic moment? there's a whole anime making a point about this
There's definitely starting to be a few more lately, though. MagiRevo, SasaKoi, IILWTV, WataNare.

>>283129683
>you have to read between the lines
I don't care. They are cowards.
>they kiss in the manga
There was no kiss and you know it. It was more teasing garbage.
>Purirun and Meroron are also more than friends
Meroron maybe but not Purirun. She treats everyone the same.

>>283129688
Something about how bitter she is and that she'd make a better partner than Joji. She doesn't plan to give up, ever.

>>283129573
Kaito is never getting with Uta, due to age gap and everything. Long are gone the times of Cocoda and Nozomi. Also, Jogi is probably very jealous of Kaito

>>283129688
The pleasure of being idlezzz'd inside.

>>283129716
Two years ago isn't that long ago. I don't think they will be a couple anyway but you shouldn't say silly things like that.

Cure Idol... kimi wa....

>>283129619
The Kaito/Jogi backstory was gay as fuck, but it didn't negate from the fact that Uta still has strong feelings for Kaito and that there will still be more to the relationship now that he's figured out Cure Idol's identity (which they are putting on a tour bus for later). It basically developed both the gay and the het, and while I don't think Kaito will show Uta romantic feelings during the actual show, Jogi knows how she feels and will probably be happy to support and tease her about it.

Kaito came back and took a break from his Idol activities in order to make things right with Jogi. He got interested in Uta because she reminded him of Jogi, but ultimately, once Jogi is healed and their bonds are restored, they'll sail away into the sunset towards New York where Kaito will do the right and proper thing and let Jogi shine together with him as the duo idol group he intended for them to be.

>>283129713
>they are cowards
we can agree on that
>>283129694
I guess things are slowly changing now, that's a good thing

>>283129713
>There was no kiss and you know it. It was more teasing garbage.
NTA but they are kissing, you can see Liko pulling her closer. Would be nicer if they would do something that you didn't have to squint to see, of course.

Uta is a child and Kaito is 18. Like, he isn't an adult either, not even close, but he has a career already and lives like an adult. It's not just age, there's a big life experience gap

>>283129810
This was the original dialogue before Toe nerfed it

>>283129862

Uta is an idol too, you know. The gap isn't as big as you think it is.

>>283129899
That doesn't count because it just doesn't, OK?

>>283129899
yes, but that was for older Hana. I don't think anons ever saw young Yell and George differently than a young hopeful girls supporting a depressed man

>>283129899
And that George was at least 40 something. Hana liked him so much she married and had a kid with the George of her timeline.

>>283129932
>I don't think anons ever saw young Yell and George differently than a young hopeful girls supporting a depressed man
anon...

>>283129904
Uta is pure and hasn't seen the stuff Kaito saw during his career. Uta is a magical idol, Kaito is an actual idol

>>283129940
This is a fine image that sums up what Mahouzzz should have felt like for most of its run length. Would have been a top-tier season if it actually was this magical all the time.

>>283129932
You were not here back then.

>>283129951
>hasn't seen the stuff Kaito saw during his career

There's precedent on magical girls curing homosexuality. See Sakura and Syaoran or Ahiru and Fakir

>>283129983
Guess you can't use the "we give our power to Idol" angle anymore, can you?

>>283129932
She blushed at him and I'm pretty sure the staff confirmed that the middle aged George was Hana's first love.

>>283129998
She doesn't even need their power! They jobbed got caught and then even after Uta freed herself they couldn't do anything against some black tape.

>>283129954
Ok zzz spammer, I know Mahou is your b-tier because you keep posting about it, but what is your precure top-tier? Genuine question.

>>283130011

Bingo.

>Kaito MotW binds Uta by herself but Wink/Kyun and Zukyoon/Kiss together

This is so fucking sad bros... I haven't seen anything like this since Doki...

>>283129862
>18
>not even close to an adult
18/19 is the beginning of adulthood and I was 18 a long time ago.

>>283130016
Uta "jobbed" too but she had the focus episode advantage. Remember that Nana had that when she purified a general by herself. It's a strong boost.

>>283129826
Kaito is a legend idol. He can pull strings to make it happen, or at least give Jogi a chance.
Auditions aren't perfect, Jogi was good enough to pass and the judges made a mistake in passing up on him.

>>283129911

The other ones don't have super forms, though, so there's no way for them to beat a MotW on their own...

It'd have given him a much better reason to reject Mirage and turn her evil.

Nana's outfit worn by an actual adult is way too lewd. I applaud whoever designed this.

>>283129813
A 4 year gap is different when you're still growing. 20 and 24 is nothing, but 12 and 16 is huge in terms of development. 14 and 18 is pretty big.

>>283130424
And in a few years the gap won't mean anything.

Idol's song is the only good finisher song to this day. Kokoro's is nice too, but not as good

>>283130424
Yeah and so are Uta's titties which she will use to seduce Kaito into forgetting about the age gap

>>283130350
Hey, there's nothing wrong with that but shoujo has a long proud tradition of pairing teen girls with adult men.

>>283128026
hope you liked all the maho books uploaded

>>283130447
But Uta is flat.....

>>283130453
Age gap romances were romantic in 1994 but now you'll be canceled if you have a couple in your story where both parties weren't born the exact same day.

>>283130463
O_____O

>>283129983
It's nowhere near Frontier level bad. Frontier level bad would be if Uta spent the next 20 episodes jobbing to Kaito over and over again while the rest of them gawked from the sidelines.

No matter how much 3D gay porn gets posted here, no matter how much muh gay trolling gets posted, Special Kirakkiranran continues.

>>283130466
Yes, thanks again anon, you made my week. I'm reading the short stories from one of them right now.

>>283130543
Be honest, do you think Uta and Kaito will be a couple?

>>283130556
no
at most they might have a joke where Kazuma thinks Uta is Kaito's girlfriend after he gets purified but even that's probably too much

Cute beans.

>>283130453
I know, I watched it as a kid as well. I'm not some twitter schizo screaming about pedophilia, but I have to admit that to me a 18 y.o. teen with a career with a 13 y.o. kid feels a little weird. And besides, I'm shipping Kaito with Jogi kek, but I don't want Uta to suffer!

>>283130626

I believed something would happen since episode 4, getting a date episode was really unexpected and I'm grateful for that. So far I don't see any reasons why I should give up.
Short answer: it's possible.
The yuri shit this season was garbage, it's not hard to deduce how I feel about Kaito x Jogi holding hands in a flashback.

Be careful, Uta is still in the game.

So now that Uta x Kaito has been sunk, is Uta FINALLY going to address Nana's obvious romantic feelings for her? Been the elephant in the room since episode 2.

Not that anon, but the first 10 episodes were nice. I fell behind due to work deadlines making me feel guilty about watching Sunday morning shows for an entire hour.

Buki tiem?

YAY BUKI TIEM

Last episode was pretty great. I think it would have been better if Kaito was a more established character and Uta's bond with him felt like it actually warranted its own power up, but 31 and 35 gave him enough that I could care about him in the last episode. I don't think the first 30 episodes helped much in that regard. Not really sure if the show is actually going for Uta being one-sidedly romantically in love with Kaito or if it's 100% platonic. Other seasons would be more direct if a Cure were one-sidedly in love with a guy, age gap or no age gap. The other Cures seem to think it's romantic, but Uta seems way more invested in hooking up Kaito back with Jogi than being in a relationship with him.

Ribbons represent bonds in this show, so it was neat to to see one come out of the fist bump between Idol and motw Kaito.

>>283131223
I don't think it can be any clearer that Uta's feelings towards Kaito are romantic.
>Uta seems way more invested in hooking up Kaito back with Jogi than being in a relationship with him
One does not negate the other, and she cares enough about him that she knows what she should prioritize.

I've seen enough. Idol is a Top 3 season.

>>283131258
this ain't the electoral college my man

>>283131223
>Other seasons would be more direct if a Cure were one-sidedly in love
It wasn't one sided but Fresh?

>>283131258
Meroron bitch mode is too big a gap for me to overcome even if I like the rest of the cast. I can't really rate Idol highly.

>>283131223
>but Uta seems way more invested in hooking up Kaito back with Jogi than being in a relationship with him.
She's not very honest with her own feelings. It makes absolutely zero sense for Uta to be blushing with saying picrel.
It's obviously about her too.

>>283131287
More like Mero stopped being a bitch ruined the season

>>283131250
What's bothering me is that there is a sense of ambiguity when there normally wouldn't be. It was with a side character, but Idol has already had one one-sided romance so far, two if you count the love letter guy (I don't really count that since his crush lasted like a day before he redacted it. At least volleyball girl had closure before she moved on.)

>>283131287
Shut up faggot

Again, Fresh. Remember Love?

>>283130838
Merocute

>>283131258

>>283131266
Maybe the thing with Fresh was that Love only viewed Daisuke as a friend, which is why she didn't give him a clear answer. I like Daisuke enough to cheer for him, but if Love doesn't love him romantically, that's the end of that.

that combo after breaking free from the ropes was insane. i wonder what the peak of rojo uta's power looks like.

>>283131297
Meroron has been more likeable at least but it does feel a bit like something is missing. I don't think Idol is ruined though.

>>283131299
I don't think there's any sense of ambiguity, they're just showing instead of telling or stating directly, which isn't uncommon in Japanese works, or even in Precure. Last year you had people shitposting about how Iroha never reciprocated Satoru's feelings, sometimes saying "I love you" in an indirect manner is leaves a greater impact than it would if it were said straight.

Meroron has elevated Idol to peak levels since debuting.

>>283131337
It felt to me like she was teasing him there. I don't think she would do that after everything he said if she didn't like him.

>>283131369

>>283131369

>>283131369
I do feel like episodes 12 and on are generally better than the first 11 episodes. The only episode I would say was kind of subpar after Meroron's debut was 13. 14 on has been mostly a blast with at worst an ok episode every once in a while.

>>283131358
>sometimes saying "I love you" in an indirect manner is leaves a greater impact than it would if it were said straight.
The whole point of "Special Wonderful" was to make the kids understand the difference between romantic love and love for family, friends and the like. A deliberate attempt to make the Iroha and Satoru bond be perceived as special.
I'm still surprised some people don't get what they were trying to do last year.

That's like the definition of being ambiguous though. For the record, I don't think the Special Wonderful episode was ambiguous.

Subs turned koi into romance, doesn't koi mean love? Censored subs?

Each episode that featured Uta and Kaito it was properly portrayed that emotions were slowly starting to build up for Uta. Love is not something that is suddenly realized but builds up slowly over time and each time Kaito and Uta interacted you could tell something was blooming. It shouldn't come as a surprise that Uta ended up liking Kaito.
Now these interactions are completely different to that of Satoru and Iroha. You could tell those feelings were platonic and Satoru never did anything you would consider flirty whether intentional or not. It wasn't until Satoru's accidental confession that Iroha had to ponder if her feelings were the same. Compared to Idol, this was a more forced approach to relationship.

>>283131492
Koi generally means romantic love, which means the other Cures definitely thought Uta was in love, though Uta herself hasn't clarified anything about the issue.

>>283131494
I just don't understand how people would think Uta liking Kaito was forced when it was clear she was interested in him. I mean, he literally unlocked Trio Dreams for the group.

Kaito just encouraged Uta to follow her dream of being with her friends forever, 0 romantic development again
>13
Uta shows curiosity about Kaito's past while Kaito gives a non-answer, maybe slight romantic development if you squint
>23
Kaito gives idol advice, maybe romantic development
>31
0 romantic development, Kaito just encouraged her to treasure her friends
>35
Possibly some romantic development, but the only thing clear is that Uta really cares about Kaito's well-being, like with her other friends.
>37
See above but with Kaito being even more obviously gay.

I don't think it was ambiguous that Hana fell in love with George, and all she did was blush at him once. The framing is incredibly important, and I would argue that Kokoro calling it 恋 is more than enough of a confirmation anyway.

>>283131562
Because if I don't like it then it means people who like it are trolls, and predictions by trolls never happen and if they do then it's bad writing

>>283131610
You can stop with the Kaito is gay jokes now.

>>283131623
I don't know, it seems plausible that Uta's friends are all mistaken about Uta's feelings for Kaito. I especially don't really trust Meroron on the matter.

>>283131623
Hana did a bit more than that. The hug and how she acted after the final battle is a big clue.

Boyfriends

They should take inspiration from the classic CCS and make Uta be genuinely in love with Kaito but he's gay so she will have to tearfully get rejected while cheering for his love.

>>283131680
I don't remember Sakura being that bothered that Yukito was gay, but it has been a long while since I've seen CCS.

>>283131680
>They should take inspiration from the classic CCS
They already did kind of, by adding filler.

>>283131494
I just went back to reevaluate this scene in light of Kaito's potential romance with Kazuma, and holy shit, that 'secret' is pregnant with meaning.
>>283131610
Good detective work. This webm is a scene from episode 13 (the scene?).

>>283131705
She pretends to be fine and then goes to the park and starts crying in front of Syaoran.

>>283131718
Yeah, when I initially saw that scene, I thought that it was likely Kaito had a past love and that Kaito/Uta likely wasn't happening. I didn't expect his past love to be a guy though.

>>283131610
She was attracted to him as soon as he told her he wanted to see her again, the episodes following was just her getting more and more attached, and sometimes more attracted to him. The other anon was correct about her emotions "slowly starting to build up", it doesn't always have to be the cocklust part of it.

>>283131654
She's never denied her friends' assumptions.

>>283131664
No, I was referring to how she fell for him early on. IIRC the staff implied that they later chose George to be Hana's husband because she was her first love (the episode where she blushed at him), but her feelings clearly came to a halt after her gave her PTSD.

You can't stop being stupid for one minute, can you?

Some cute drawings from the animator of this scene.

>>283131817
Is that how it happens in the movie?

>>283129810
god's work anon

>>283129252
You're retarded if you think a sugary kids show means it's all gay. We casual viewers don't care about participating in your delusion.

Is it weird that I'm starting to think Idol is similar to HaCha?

>nooo you can't date a teenage girl if you are over 17 years, 364 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds old

There's some similarities here or there, but there's no Blue, and I don't feel like there's any moment that feels as blatant rewrite as Megumi's mom.

>>283132053
>there's no Blue
Thank the lord for that.
>I don't feel like there's any moment that feels as blatant rewrite as Megumi's mom.
Meroron's quick shift was pretty sudden but I don't think that or Megumi's mom was a rewrite.
