--> '''Ira''': "What's that? A bird?"
--> '''Mamo''': "A meteor?"
--> '''Bel''': "No. It's Precure."

** [[spoiler:Cure Ace's transformation sequence has a lot of similar body shots to the ones used in ''Anime/SailorMoon,'' another product of Toei. The fire based theme of the transformation may be one to [[LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana Shana]], who is also voiced by Creator/RieKugimiya and has fire erupt around her when she gets into battle mode.]]

* It almost seems like the relationship between Mana and Makoto when they first meet is similar to that of Hibiki and Tsubasa from [[Anime/SenkiZesshouSymphogear Symphogear]]. It doesn't help Makoto had a somewhat similar back story to Tsubasa.

** The second time she tries to transform during the same scenne, Mana [[PunctuatedForEmphasis utters]], "[[Series/KamenRiderW ''Hen-shin!'']]".

* Episode 7: All girls [[http://i.imgur.com/kMaxfDh.jpg unite your hands]] in the final of the episode, to a [[KamenRiderBlade card themed seris isn't first time]].

* Episode 40: How the girls line up for the new attack, Royal Lovely Straight Flush, is just [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic a purple unicorn away from resembling the Elements of Harmony.]] Shouldn't be a surprise since the series had started airing in Japan just recently.
** The girls inner in the [[http://i.imgur.com/SkoNVk6.jpg big energy circle]] is like with the [[TenkuuSenkiShurato Jyu-Oh Mandara-jin]].

* Episode 15: Two words. [[SnowWhite Snow. White.]]

* Episode 38: The Selfish Trio are similar dressed as ''Manga/CatsEye''.

* Episode 46 and 47 shows how [[spoiler:King Jikochuu invades the human world]]. He walks across the sea and the people are terrified by him. ''Film/{{Godzilla}}'', huh?

** [[spoiler:Cure Ace's transformation sequence has a lot of similar body shots to the ones used in ''Franchise/SailorMoon,'' another product of Toei. The fire based theme of the transformation may be one to [[LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana Shana]], who is also voiced by RieKugimiya and has fire erupt around her when she gets into battle mode.]]

* Episode 25: [[spoiler:Mamo as Cutie Madame]] pretends to be a hero and causes a civilian to fall from a building, so she can rescue him. [[Manga/SailorMoon Zoisite]], disguised as Sailor Moon, did the same thing. Her transformation pose even loos like a mirrored version of Sailor Moon's.

* Episode 34: Not only Cure Diamond's transformation pose looks like a mirrored version of [[Manga/SailorMoon Sailor Venus]], her new attacks looks similar to ''Venus Love and Beauty Shock''.

** Also, [[spoiler: Regina isn't the first [[SailorMoon daughter of a Big Bad to wield a glaive.]] ]]

* Now all [[spoiler: the three regalia are revealed]], they share a great deal of similarities with the pure heart talismans of ''Manga/SailorMoon'' fame. [[spoiler:The Miracle Dragons Glaive equates to Uranus' Space Sword, representing strength. The Magical Lovely Pad ties to Pluto's Garnet Orb, surprisingly, rather than Neptune's mirror, representing benevolence. The Eternal Golden Crown is equivalent to Neptune's Deep Aqua Mirror, representing wisdom.]] These talismans were in turn based on the three imperial treasures of Japan, so the resemblance could be accidental.

** Episode 49 gives us [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Cure Sword's slicing skyscrapers in half!]] The Proto-Jikochuu also has a fond habit of throwing buildings, teleporting, and spamming lasers. Not to mention he spared Cure Heart's [[IncrediblyLamePun heart]].]]

** related: King Jikochuu is voiced by Creator/HochuOtsuka, who also voiced Xigbar. [[spoiler:Him re-brainwashing Regina may be an [[ActorAllusion allusion]] to Braig making an amnesiac Terra-Xehanort remember about their EvilPlan.]]
