History Anime / TropicalRougePrettyCure

* AnimationBump: Episode 29 gets a ''huge'' one with "camera angles", smooth action sequences and major model consistency, especially since this is an episode where the Cures get their new finisher.

** The story when the tropical rouge cures watch a video showing the [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Heartcatch team’s]] TransformationSequence in episode 33 turns out to be AllJustADream that Tsubomi had.

** The Witch of Delays' major delay. [[spoiler: Due to her close friendship with Aunete, She was ''constantly'' for decades claiming she'd get up and do something tomorrow, knowing full well that ''tomorrow'' never can truly arrive.]]

* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler: Episode 37 reveals that Manatsu and Laura had actually met for the first time when they were children, although Laura kept her identity as a mermaid from Manatsu. After Laura's memories of these events were erased as per mermaid law, Manatsu, while initially saddened by Laura suddenly disappearing, eventually moved on with her life and forgot about their first meeting, part of her mantra coming from the need to get over that one incident.]]

* LoopholeAbuse: When the Tropical Club gets their Aqua Pot confiscated by the Disciplinary Committee who deem it a banned item, Minori points out a school rule that states that items approved by a club advisor (in this case, Manatsu and Sango's homeroom teacher) can be brought to school, allowing them to reclaim it.
** Laura uses long skirts and TailfinWalking to be able to interact with people without revealing herself to be a mermaid, but also join in club activities. After Episode 18, It becomes a moot point, since she can switch between her legs and tail at will.

* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: The costumes of the Cures have elements from mermaids and sailors. Lampshaded by Cure La Mer, who [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin '''''is''''' a mermaid princess]].

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: During Episode 16, the ice cream that Manatsu, Sango, Minori, Asuka, and Laura are eating are colored based on their colors as Cures, with Manatsu's being a pink/blue/white mix and Laura's being a pink/blue mix. This also serves as {{Foreshadowing}} to Laura's transformation to Cure La Mer.

* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler: Episode 37 reveals that Manatsu and Laura had actually met for the first time when they were children, although Laura kept her identity as a mermaid from Manatsu. After Laura's memories of these events were erased as per mermaid law, Manatsu, while initially saddened by Laura suddenly disappearing, eventually moved on with her life and forgot about their first meeting.]]

* HammerspaceHideaway: The Aqua Pot is a small tablet-like object that Laura and Kururun live in, and which Manatsu carries around. It isn't limited to just them either as they're also able to bring in other objects to store.

* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: The costumes of the Cures have elements from mermaids and sailors.

** Episode 34's Chou Zettai Yaraneeda is a direct reference to the titular mecha of ''Anime/MazingerZ'', using its various attacks such as Breast Fire, Photon Beam, Rocket Punch, along with utilizing its Jet Scrander.

** The Queen doesn't really act affectionate towards Kururun. Kururun tries to go towards the Queen's hand and notices that something is off. [[spoiler:When they meet the real queen later, the she immediately pets Kururun upon seeing them.]]

* FatalFlaw: All the Cures have one at one point of the anime, [[spoiler:which they manage to overcome with time]]:

** Asuka has trust issues and rather stay alone.

* CerebusSyndrome: The show's lighthearted tone becomes slightly more serious as stronger variants of Yaraneeda are introduced, but things take a far more serious turn during Episodes 29, 36, 42, and 43 when Butler decides to really show how serious things can get. Episode 29 introduces a more powerful Yaraneeda variant which attacks the entire city at once, Episode 36 introduces an even more powerful variant which uses live creatures as a host and is immune to everything thrown so far, Episode 42 involves Butler succeeding with draining an entire city of its motivation, and the following episode reveals he's been calling the shots and wants to destroy the world.

** Episode 29 shows Manatsu breaking free from a monster...while doing a pose reminiscent of [[Franchise/{{Ultraman}} the moment when an Ultraman enlarges]].

* DifferentInEveryEpisode: After gathering the team together, each episode Manatsu has a different pre-battle phrase (usually related to the theme of the episode) before they announce their team name.

** In the same episode, we get a voiced cameo of the HeartCatch Pretty Cure.

* AnimationBump: Episode 29 gets a ''huge'' one.
