History YMMV / FutariWaPrettyCure

** Three characters with totally innocuous names in Japan have rather snicker-inducing UnfortunateNames to English viewers. Firstly, one of the mascots is the Princess of Hope, Mipple (ミップル ''Mippuru''), whose name sounds like a certain part of the body. Then there's the StarterVillain, Pisard (ピーサード ''Piisaado''). Not an innuendo on its own (in fact, it sounds somewhat elegant) but some subtitles rather JustForFun/{{egregious}}ly render it as '''''Pissard'''''. It doesn't help that Pisard is the one to introduce himself --「我が名はピーサード」(lit. "My name is Pisard", but "I am called Pissard" in subtitles). The voice actor's delivery puts extra emphasis on the "pi" (as in, "pee"), which makes it even funnier. Lastly, a new mascot character called Pollun (ポルン ''Porun'') debuts roughly halfway through ''Futari wa''. This one's unlucky even for Japanese audiences, since the Japanese loanword ポルノ ''poruno'' is only one letter off and means [[PornStash exactly what you think it means]] -- viewers who already laughed at "Mipple" might start wondering if the Garden of Light names its fairies like this on purpose.

* DieForOurShip: Poor Fujipi/Shougo. Despite being a very minor character and a generally NiceGuy, Nagisa's crush on him is enough to make him utterly ''despised'' by Nagisa/Honoka shippers, with many seeing him as bland and forgettable. Unsurprisingly, given how minor he is, many fans prefer to just ignore him altogether in Nagisa/Honoka fanworks.

* TearJerker: The Kiriya arc in the first half. He initially starts attending their school to steal the prism stones, but ends up gradually developing a bond with Honoka (even at one point secretly going against his sister to save her and Nagisa). It's when Poisony, his older sister, is defeated that he accepts his fate and comes clean to Honoka about his origins. He challenges the precures to a fight, but quickly gives up when he realizes he can't bring himself to fulfill his duty. He ends up giving his prism stone to the girls and leaving with Iikubo to face his punishment, all while Honoka has to be held back from going after him.

** In episode 9, Mepple falls ill with a fever. The viewer is treated to several shots of him with a LuminescentBlush, panting, with his tongue lolling out; his face looks less "feverish" and more "[[TheImmodestOrgasm ahegao]]".

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In episode 16, Nagisa and Honoka randomly [[MickeyMousing play "Turkey in the Straw"]] with chalkboard erasers. It doesn't come up again, and it has absolutely no bearing on the plot.

* EnsembleDarkhorse:

** Pisard crosses it in episode 3 when he uses his MindControl on Ms. Takenouchi to make her climb up to a steel beam on the ceiling, the implication being that he'd [[PsychicAssistedSuicide make her fall off the edge]] if the Cures didn't rescue her. If not then, he definitely crosses it in the next episode: there, he turns the Cures' entire class and several other art museum patrons to stone, then uses the bodies as a HumanShield. Pisard even taunts the Pretty Cures with the knowledge that they could [[LiterallyShatteredLives break an innocent to pieces]] if they try to aim a special attack at him.
** If Gekidrago didn't cross it by [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals having a Zakenna possess an innocent mother bear]], then he does when he attacks Cure Black's little brother, a [[WouldHurtAChild ten-year-old boy]]. The latter is [[RelativeButton particularly notable]]: it results in Cure Black [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown brutalizing Gekidrago]] out of pure rage, and she later outright ''kills'' him with a Marble Screw pushed past the limit by her anger. It also has both the Cures aghast at him and saying "ThisIsUnforgivable".

* DieForOurShip: Poor Fuji-P/Shougo. Despite being a very minor character and a generally NiceGuy, Nagisa's crush on him is enough to make him utterly ''despised'' by Nagisa/Honoka shippers, with many seeing him as bland and forgettable. Unsurprisingly, given how minor he is, many fans prefer to just ignore him altogether in Nagisa/Honoka fanworks.

* FanPreferredCouple: Despite Nagisa's canonical crush on Shougo, most fans prefer to ignore Shougo and pair her with Honoka instead, due to their LesYay and PseudoRomanticFriendship. It helps that Nagisa and Honoka's friendship is front and center, while Fuji-P/Shougo is a minor character.

** If Gekidrago didn't cross it by [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals having a Zakenna possess an innocent mother bear]], then he does when he attacks Cure Black's little brother, a [[ChildAbuseIsASpecialKindOfEvil ten-year-old boy]]. The latter is [[RelativeButton particularly notable]]: it results in Cure Black [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown brutalizing Gekidrago]] out of pure rage, and she later outright ''kills'' him with a Marble Screw pushed past the limit by her anger. It also has both the Cures aghast at him and saying "ThisIsUnforgivable".

** If Gekidrago didn't cross it by [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals having a Zakenna possess an innocent mother bear]], then he does when [[RelativeButton trying to kill Cure Black's little brother in front of her]]. Not very impressive in scale compared to later MEH's in the franchise, but they were some of the first especially despicable acts of villainy the franchise ever saw, and it's notable in that it resulted in Cure Black ''killing'' Gekidrago.

* MoralEventHorizon: The first one in the entire franchise--[[RelativeButton Gekidrago trying to kill Cure Black's little brother in front of her.]] Not very impressive in scale compared to later MEH's in the franchise, but it was the first especially despicable act of villainy the franchise ever saw, and it's notable in that it resulted in Cure Black ''killing'' Gekidrago.
* {{Narm}}: In the Latin-American Spanish dub, [[spoiler:Kiriya's MadnessMantra and ensuing screams after the death of his sister Poisony]] sounded so fake that they ruined the scene for some.
