Cure of the WHAT Now Episode 4: Fantastic Stories to Stoke the Imagination! Cure Papaya is Ready to Believe!

The Discussion Question starts at 1:39, as we contemplate a brand-sponsored CureSona and what they might look like.

At 7:50 we explain our inside joke regarding Erika and Tsubomi, may they live on forever in our hearts. This also unveils our unofficial mascot: gremlin Erika holding up a giant dorito chip, a representation of her decadence 

Next, at 12:10, Joel and Kat give updates on their curesonas, including information about their fairies and potential catchphrases.

The discussion of the main episode starts at 20:16. We meet Minori Ichinose and see her journey to becoming Cure Payapa, and talk about her character, the design, what works about her and what didn't work so well. 

We also bring up the subject of subtext in PreCure, and extend the conversation to media as a hole, especially with relationships that could be perceived as homosexual. We briefly ponder a Magical Girl show written by Studio Trigger and continue with our watch of Futari Wa PreCure where Joel highlights where the series falls flat, but then we discuss what's great about that first season.

And of course we finish with predictions of how Cure Flamingo might appear in the next episode, and how her story might evolve.

Also, for your viewing pleasure, we mentioned Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure But Really Fast and we hope you enjoy it.
