History Anime / HappinessChargePrettyCure

* MissXPun: The character that tells Megumi that Hime is a threat (actually Iona) is named Miss Fortune.

* SkirtOverSlacks:
** Actually averted - they're wearing bloomers under those skirts this time around.
** Played straight with the costumes that come with the Mountain Girl and Commemoration [=PreCards=].

* TheCameo: In the first 33 episodes, each one of the past Pretty Cures appears briefly in the opening, in a semi-random order, starting with [[Series/FutariWaPrettyCure Cure Black]]. For the cameo list, see [[TheCameo/HappinessChargePrettyCure The Cameo page]].

** The American Cure who wears cowboy hat looks like [[VideoGame/SakuraWarsSoLongMyLove Gemini Sunrise]].

Standing up to the attacking Saiark, Megumi unlocks the power of the Love Crystal and transforms into the Pretty Cure known as Cure Lovely. Together with Hime as Cure Princess, the two vow to fight against the Phantom Kingdom while searching for [[CardsOfPower the magical PreCards]], [[GottaCatchEmAll a full collection of which will bestow any wish the owner desires]]. However, they are not alone: they soon form a PowerTrio with a [[MagicMusic singing Pretty Cure]] called Cure Honey, and butt heads against [[AloofAlly a rival Pretty Cure called Cure Fortune]].

''[=HappinessCharge PreCure=]!'' is the eleventh entry in the ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' franchise, commemorating the franchise's [[MilestoneCelebration 10th anniversary]]. It is the ninth separate continuity in the series, and began airing in February 2014.

!! ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'' contains examples of:

* PowerDyesYourHair: This is the case for Aloha Precure: Ohana and Olina both have black hair in their civilian forms, and it changes to Orange and Light BLue as Cure Sunset and Cure Wave.

->''Pouring with happiness, charging with joy, [=HappinessCharge=] PreCure!''

->'' Pouring with happiness, charging with joy, [[TitleDrop HappinessCharge PreCure!]]''

** Cure Lovely head in episodes [[http://imgur.com/91wNof6.jpg #1-#3]], but corrected in [[http://imgur.com/yt8zGoH.jpg #4]].

* PowerDyesYourHair: This is the case for Aloha Precure where Ohana and Olina both have black hair in their civilian forms which changes from Orange and Light BLue as Cure sunset and Cure Wave.

* ConspicuousCG: Every time the Cures use the Form Changes they are drawn in 3D.

* ColorCodedCharacters: In episode 40, the girls wear color-coded pajamas.

* MythologyGag:
** In the opening we see Yuko and Iona back to back, identical to Kiryuu Sisters in the second ending from Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar, after some scenes we see Iona crying and then being [[Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure comforted by Megumi and other girls]], [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure all cures fighting the Mooks]] and end with [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Lovely and Princess doing an Marble Screw]].
** In Episode 8, Iona poses as a fortune-teller, similar to how [[Anime/FreshPrettyCure Setsuna]] was originally a fortune-teller.
** When Lovely and Princess attack the Saiark in Episode 9, one of the attacks Lovely uses is a [[AssKicksYou butt]] [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure punch]].
** Cure Honey and Hosshiwa face off against each other in a music competition, with Cure Honey's song trumping Hosshiwa's song. [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure Music of good vs. evil noise; sounds familiar...]]
** In Episode 20, Cure Lovely starts running along a building with enemies shooting at her, similar to [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure Cure March]].
** Fortune's new powers include the use of a [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure tambourine.]] Also, [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure she's not the first purple Cure to make a comeback and have a different transformation item...]]
*** Also, taking up the mantle from [[Anime/DokidokiPrecure Cure Ace]], Fortune, as the last member of the team, is given a different transformation phrase and attack item.
** Cure Princess uses a [[UseYourHead Forehead]] [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Punch]] when battling the Saiark in Episode 26. Since then, it's been recurring move of hers.
** Aloha Precure's transformation is identical to Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar transformation from the movie, and the finish attack is identical to [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Marble Screw]].
** On Hime's first day of school, she introduces herself to the class by writing her name with such huge characters that it takes up the entire blackboard. [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure Wait a second...]]
** Reoccurring character Masuko Miyo is a carbon copy of ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'''s Masuko Mika, right down to her catchphrase! The only difference is that Miyo is an adult IntrepidReporter with her own Pretty Cure-focused news show, as opposed to teenaged SchoolNewspaperNewsHound Mika.
** Much like in the final battle of ''Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure'', Cure Lovely sends an enemy up into the stratosphere and proceeds to send it back to Earth.
** In Episode 47 Cure Lovely uses ''Pinky Love Shoot'' identical to ''[[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Cure Dream Shooting Star]]''.
** One could say that the entire series is one to [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Heartcatch.]] The main Cure duo is pink and blue, later joined by a yellow Cure and finally a purple one? Check. The blue Cure is a fashionista? Check again.
*** Shining Make Dresser is definitely one to the Heartcatch Mirage, which leads to...
*** Innocent Form is one to the Super Silhouette, with their Cure uniforms turning white and so on.
*** The Pre Cards are to the Heart Seeds, though the Heart Seeds has more plot importance. And the fact that if you collect a lot, you can have a wish granted is discussed as well.
*** Even the Phantom Empire is one to the Desert Apostles. At the lowest, you have mooks, then you have powered mooks that serves as MonsterOfTheWeek, then you have the TerribleTrio, the BigBad (Or so we thought) is BrainwashedAndCrazy and has a dragon of their own.

Standing up to the attacking Saiark, Megumi unlocks the power of the Love Crystal and transforms into the Pretty Cure known as Cure Lovely. Together with Hime as Cure Princess, the two vow to fight against the Phantom Kingdom [[MacGuffin while searching for the magical Precards]], [[GottaCatchEmAll a full collection of which will bestow any wish the owner desires]]. However, they are not alone: they soon form a PowerTrio with a [[MagicMusic singing Pretty Cure]] called Cure Honey, and butt heads against [[AloofAlly a rival Pretty Cure called Cure Fortune]].

*** Even the Phantom Empire is one to the Desert Apostles. At the lowest, you have mooks, then you have powered mooks that serves as MonsterOfTheWeek, then you have the TerribleTrio, the BigBad (Or so we thought) is BrainwashedAndCrazy and has a dragon of their own, and there's the BiggerBad.

* EarWorm: InUniverse example: Cure Honey's song becomes so popular the school starts singing it.

Hime Shirayuki is the [[SpoiledSweet spoiled princess]] of the Blue Sky Kingdom, which is suddenly attacked by the Phantom Kingdom and [[MonsterOfTheWeek their evil "Saiark" monsters]]. To defend her realm, Hime is granted the power to become one of the legendary Pretty Cure, but finds that she is too cowardly to defeat even a single Saiark.

* WhamLine:
** Episode 8:
-->''You cannot trust [[spoiler: Cure Princess]]. Or else [[spoiler: a giant disaster will fall upon you]].''
** Episode 10 has one for the characters, [[SpoilerOpening but not the viewers]].
-->''Because you finally praised the song I created!''
** Episode 13 definitely takes the cake to date.
--> ''[[spoiler:Blue: I may be the source of all misfortune.]]''
** A comedic example in episode 31, which combines with WhamShot.
-->'''Yuko:''' Those days we spent together became my precious memories. My days with...\\
''*[[spoiler:A dog]] appears*''\\
'''Yuko:''' [[spoiler:Debit.]]

* SpinoffSendoff: Quite appropriate considering this is the 10th anniversary season, at the end of the final episode, Cure Lovely introduces [[Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure Cure Flora]], the next head Cure. Apparently, it started a new tradition. One year later, Flora got to introduce [[MahouTsukaiPrettyCure Cure Miracle]]

* BaitAndSwitchCredits: [[https://youtu.be/IL3uT44NgMQ The first opening]] has Iowa acting friendly and being cheered up by Megumi, Yuko and Hime. What the opening doesn't tell you is that Iowa is a {{Jerkass}} on the similar vein to [[Anime/DragonBallZ Namek Saga Vegeta]] for the first half of the season, treating the former two as tools to help her become stronger while completely antagonizing the latter. Doesn't help that she would actively bail on Cure Lovely and Cure Honey if she even so much as sees Cure Princess's shadow while refusing to listen to anything she has to say, regardless of how relevant to the current situation it is.
