- WOW, now that was a great episode!
- Finally, we meet Niko-sama
- I’m not sure I love her personality just yet (poor Mey Mey, copping the heat even after spending so much time working tirelessly as a butler)
- Epic villain designs
- Wow, the extinction thing is pretty dark for this season, but I appreciate the realism
- Finally, some decent character development for Iroha, realising that maybe she can’t actually be friends with all animals
- Next ep will be the group power-up I’m pretty sure

Whatever happened all those years ago, “two wrongs don’t make a right”, as they say. That, plus revenge is never the answer. Iroha is wrong. The Pretty Cures weren’t the ones who caused the wolves’ extinction all those years ago. The bad guys, led by Gaou blame the entire human race for it, and so they see all humans as exactly the same, or they simply don’t care; maybe even both. Either way, they are trying to get revenge for what happened to their pack, plus, the only emotions they feel are negative ones like anger and rage. That makes them bad guys in my book.
As for “Lady Niko” (one way to refer to her in English), she seems okay so far. The question now is, how is she going to help the Pretty Cures, now that those two wolves (their names escape me, right now) can turn Garugaru eggs into more powerful “Gaogaons”? In the meantime, I only hope that the show doesn’t go for the predictable “ten minute retirement”, and/or “wangst” tropes for Iroha, who seems to be the most upset over their (not quite) defeat, and the wolves’ extinction (her and possibly Mayu as well).
I’m also hoping that this “wonderful castle” will give them some way to fight back (emphasis on “fight”). Yes, they are likely going to have to actually fight the gaogaons in order to turn them back to normal…

And I already like her. Not having a baby phase and just pop out of the egg and be efficient by taking point.
When the villain group have a point.
I think now will be the time to use the fists.

First of all I love how Niko hatches and starts berating Mey Mey for spilling all the secrets to the girls lmao serves him right for all the times he’s been mean to them like not letting Iroha walk Komugi in Niko garden. I like Niko’s design though, if she gets a human form I definitely see her being a gyaru
We finally have proper named antagonists and know the big bad! I love Zakuro and Torame already and their sibling like rivalry is fun, they completely overpowered the girls though wow and this was just their first day on the job. The animation was so good for the fights. I felt some Yuri energy from Torame when she was messing with Nyammy lol. That’ll be fun to see play out
“Does this mean we’re the bad guys” man seeing Iroha so broken and lost was rough, but it’s nice to have antagonists who have valid points. You can’t even be mad at them for hating humans after they were shunned and driven to extinction. Before the cures can do anything, they’ll have to sort out their feelings. Can’t wait for next ep

This episode has the older Precure´s seasons spirit!!!!
Finally new villains and finally new troubles!!
It seems Satoru is more than ready to fight.... I wonder if.... you know...
And we meet Niko-sama, she seems nice and friendly, so is ok, usually the elegant cures are not very nice at first.

Japanese wolf extinction is the real sad story, it's also the subtext of Princess Mononoke. And I'm happy to see Precure tackle this issue.
Talking about wolf, does anyone keep track on how many Precure have furry villain? Because I think it's a lot!

FINALLY! They confront one of the core issues with the show… the lack of fighting scenes. Finally they’re going to have to confront the fact that they have to actually fight in order to win. And that great ending scene where Iroha was confronted by her own naivety hopefully means that we get some interesting moments going forward because if they go back to their original mindset by the end of next episode, it’ll just be so enraging.

This how Precure should actually be.
It took them so long to make this happen.

This episode was pretty dark. But don't worry girls it's not your fault.
The wolves went extinct due to the humans from long time ago.
I need somebody who can love me at my worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

I wasn't expecting that to be Niko-sama's personality, we finally got to see the actual villains and I liked their designs.
