** Despite that Nozomi and Coco's relationship got its share of focus in this series and Urara and Syrup had an entire episode dedicated to their relationship, there was almost no interaction between Komachi and Nuts, even in Komachi's own episode, which, suffice to say, caused stir among a lot of Japanese fans, to the point that the ship's name [=KomaNuts=] was trending on Twitter in Japan after the final episode finished airing.

** The ''[[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar Splash Star]]'' duo, Saki and Mai, are much more OutOfFocus than the six Cures from ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'', and only have their brief arcs culminating in their transformations towards the very end of the show's runtime. Then it's time for the FinalBattle, and they're only seen again at the very end with a scene of [[spoiler:Saki choosing to study abroad]]. A story about Saki and Mai could have served as its own short spin-off, as they also take time away from the arcs of the other six Cures.

* AmericansHateTingle: Of all the characters, Coco suffered this the most with the Anglosphere side of the fandom. While the Japanese fandom were pleased at his and Nuts return in the fifth episode, Western fans were livid that his affection towards Nozomi didn't change at all during the fourteen-year long TimeSkip, which only became more apparent come the final episode, [[spoiler:where he and Nozomi ''actually'' get together once they return to the former's homeworld]], further igniting the flames from the fandom who were hoping that [[ShipSinking the series would put an end to the pairing for good]].

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: [[spoiler:The show's BigBad, Bell, turns out to be the city's GuardianAngel. She's turning humans into Shadows so that they can't contribute to climate change, which she knows will eventually cause the city to be [[RuinsOfTheModernAge abandoned and destroyed]]. She's meant to be a WellIntentionedExtremist, but her plan is ''extremely'' short-sighted and limited in its scope -- climate change is caused by the collective misdeeds of billions of people, so even if she wins and converts the entire population of the city into Shadows, [[MeaninglessVillainVictory the rest of the world's continued contributions to global warming would probably destroy it anyway]]. Because of this, Bell comes off less like a misguided protector resorting to extremes and more like a StrawHypocrite who attacks the civilians (whom she claims she wants to protect) out of an IrrationalHatred of humanity. The writers didn't intend to write a NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist motivated by misanthropy -- Bell pulls an unambiguous HeelFaceTurn at the end -- so her actions seem [[StupidEvil mind-bogglingly stupid]], which makes it very difficult to sympathize with her even though her motivations are apparently sincere. Further details can be found on [[WhatAnIdiot/PrettyCure the "What an Idiot!" page]].]]

* BrokenAesop: The story's GreenAesop is delivered through [[spoiler:the BigBad, Bell, whose motivation for turning humans into Shadows is that anthropogenic climate change will eventually destroy the city she's been watching over for decades because of humanity's selfishness and unwillingness to act]]. It's too bad, then, that [[spoiler:the only genuine threat to the city comes from those very Shadows, no matter how many {{Anvilicious}} shots of pollution there are. To make matters worse, the very last scene of the anime shows a selfish {{Jerkass}} littering, which implies that the GreenAesop didn't inspire that many people ''even InUniverse''.]]



* DieForOurShip: Episode 4 reveals that Saki and Mai are ''not'' together -- Saki is engaged to a random person she met at cooking school and Mai has a boyfriend and is having major relationship problems with him, and neither appears on screen -- as well as Episode 5 reuniting Coco and Nozomi once more-- bearing in mind that [[TeacherStudentRomance this pairing]] has been... contentious, to put it mildly -- the flames of the shipping wars have been reignited once more. Several fans were even more furious when [[spoiler:Coconozo actually '''''do''''' get married at the end of the series, and while Mai breaks up with her boyfriend, Saki does not.]]

* ContinuityLockOut: As to be expected of a sequel series set more than a decade after ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'', the show expects you to have watched it (as well as ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'' [[spoiler:and arguably the original ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'', given Cure Black and Cure White's BigDamnHeroes moment at the end]]) all the way through. The dynamics between the characters, as well as the many flashback scenes, don't work nearly as well without prior context.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: If there is one downside to the Cure alter-egos' return that bummed out a few fans, it's that we don't get to see adult versions of them, instead reverting back to their teenaged selves.

to:

** What happened after [[spoiler:Milk decided to run for Prime Minister of the Palmier Kingdom]] in the last episode? [[spoiler:Is the government still a monarchy, or does it shift to a representative democracy with King Coco and Queen Nozomi as figureheads? Does a revolution take place?]]
** [[FridgeHorror What horrific events have happened in the past]] to give the Time Flowers their reputation as portents of disaster?
* ItsShortSoItSucks: One of the show's major flaws is that its runtime is only twelve episodes (as opposed to the main ''Pretty Cure'' seasons, which each have about 50). As a result, none of the main characters have enough screen time to have believable character arcs; each Cure mostly gets ADayInTheLimelight instead, with the others getting shifted OutOfFocus.

* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: Did you ''actually'' think that Nozomi would be dead? And to the anti-shippers, did you ''really'' think they'd sink Coconozo?
* RonTheDeathEater: While people are still understandably squicked by the TeacherStudentRomance in Nozomi and Coco's relationship from the original series, some go so far as to claim that Coco was grooming Nozomi since adolescence and that his reluctance to approach her again in adulthood is indicative of either her [[PaedoHunt being too old for his tastes]] or just straight up being a creepy StalkerWithACrush. Needless to say, neither the original series nor this one depict Coco's intentions for Nozomi to be remotely as malicious as those claims. His observation of her from afar is presented by the show as him trying to be respectful of her goals for the future despite those goals making their relationship that of StarCrossedLovers, while detractors misrepresent it as him being a StalkerWithACrush. This feeling got worse with the ending.

** Saki's fiancé and Mai's boyfriend. While the Precure 5 has established love interests (save for poor Rin), Saki's crush on Kazuya never went anywhere and Mai had none of the sort, thus them having love interests caught fans by surprise. Furthermore, both men are portrayed as TheGhost, existing to serve as off-screen plot devices and sources of problems for our girls.
