{Tokusatsu Thursday #3-aPC} Futari wa Precure: Episode 3
Hello, Internet, and good mornight to you all!
My name is Taffryne, shoppekeeper of Midnight on Memory Lane, and it is my absolute delight to welcome you to this week's actual Tokusatsu Thursday.
'Tis a pleasure, 'tis a pleasure indeed.
As the title of this post says, we're going to be talking about the third episode of the Toei Animation tokusatsu anime, Futari wa Precure. I humbly present my thoughts for your enjoyment and consideration. Accordingly, please mind that there will be spoilers ahead!

Episode 3
Recollection
- Pisard gets scolded and threatened by Jyaku-King for failing his attacks
- Nagisa gets picked to be the field trip leader because she wasn't paying attention, then Honoka gets picked to help her out
- Chutaro is the bestest, goodest boy and gives everyone kisses
- Honoka's parents are abroad, so she just lives with her Grandma
- Mepple and Mipple are adorably in-love and obsessed with each other
- Mepple's tail is a pocket dimension for storing the Prism Stones (two of the seven for now) and they distinguish their normal forms (the marketable plushies) from their phone forms (the transformation toys)
- Pisard steals the identity of a student teacher to go undercover and attack the girls at school (he tracked them by their uniforms); Yoshimi-sensei is unfortunately smitten with Not-David Bowie and becomes a pawn-hostage
- Zakenna possess the gym as an entirety and attacks the girls with basketballs, a giant curtain, and other gym equipment; He and Pisard are once again defeated by the Marble Screw Attack
- Yoshimi-sensei is freed from her trance and doesn't remember anything
Look, I know that everyone has their own preferences when it comes to who they get bashful towards. So, while I personally don't think any of Pisard's forms are swoon-worthy, I absolutely understand the craze that David Bowie earned. However, from a professional standpoint, Yoshimi-sensei...get a grip! You put your students in danger because you got distracted??? Bad.
Mepple and Mipple, you two are so precious. I want your plushies. I also want to understand how exactly the whole tail-storage system works. I'm assuming it's the same rules as Kirby where there's a whole inventory or something in there, but correct me if I'm wrong.
This is now the third time the girls have used their Marble Screw, so I assume that sometime soon that'll stop being enough, right? By the majority of rules, they need to grow and expand their move set to keep handling the more powerful villains. Pisard is also on strike #3...I hope Jyaku-King doesn't kill him. It's not his fault he loses; Blame the plot!
Chutarooooooo!!! I would give you all the kisses and treats in the world.
So, I'm realizing I might have been just a wee bit of an idiot. Scratch what I said about Pisard's necklace being one of the Prism Stones. I'm pretty sure that the Prism Stones are the 7 rainbow-coloured and heart shaped gems in the opening sequence. That is evidently not fitting for Pisard's dark green and rhombus shaped necklace. My bad.
