* TransAudienceInterpretation: Given how one can potentially change their appearance in the [=PriPara=] universe, how some of Dressing Pafe's outfits consist of short shorts, and how idols in [=PriPara=] are pretty much entirely female with almost no exception, some people believe that Reona might actually [[GenderBender change genders]] to accommodate for the rules within [=PriPara=].

** Many fans see ''Idol Time [=PriPara=]'s'' male idol group WIT-H as this, seeing that ''[=PriPara=]'s'' parent series had overwhelming success with their male idols (and the ''Anime/KingOfPrism'' spinoff movies) and think that they're going to try and replicate their luck. Some have even called the new group "KING OF PRIPARA'' preemptively.

** Sophy. Whenever she entered Fancy Mode, she turned into a shaggy-haired figure that could only crawl around and state simple phrases until she got a bite of pickled plums, with this dependency tying her to an abusive manager, with her older sister and fan club unable to do anything about it until they ''all'' saw Sophy perform a failed Making Drama that echoed her feelings about her upcoming team assignment. ''Thankfully,'' they managed to get her to the right team...

* SpiritualSuccessor: Both the arcade game and anime are this to ''VideoGame/PrettyRhythm''.


Added DiffLines:

* ViewerNameConfusion: Almost all characters. All character spellings you see here are taken from official sources, mainly merchandise. The fansubs would use other romanizations, some of which aren't really consistent. The English pilot dub would use the fansub romanizations, while the official Idol Time subs on Crunchyroll used a mixed bag of both. Sometimes, in the show itself you can see spellings for characters that don't match with the ones on the merchandise.
** Laala is the official translation for her name, but some fans decide to stick with "Lala". Also in the sixth ending her name was spelled "Rara", it doesn't help that the japanese pronunciation is actually "Rara".
** Mirei's name is commonly miswritten as "Mireille" in some fansubs.
** Sophy is the official translation for her name, but many refer to her as "Sophie". In addition, there's a part in episode 20 that spells her name as "Sofi".
** Sion is the official translation for her name, but fans tend to spell it as "Shion" thanks to the fansubs. It doesn't help that the japanese pronunciation is actually "Shion".
** Reona is the official translation for his name, but thanks to the fansubs is often referred to fans as "Leona".
** Faruru or Falulu, it's officially "Falulu" though. It doesn't help that the japanese pronunciation is actually "Faruru".
*** Also due to a typo and fan misinterpretations her surname is often written as "Bokerdole" and she's called "Falulu Bokerdole" or "Faruru Bokerdole", but she doesn't have a surname at all.
** Aroma is the official translation for her name, but thanks to the fansubs is sometimes spelled as "Aloma".
** Sometimes Ajimi's surname is miswritten as "Kigi".
** Galulu, Garuru or Gaaruru, the latter is the official romanization.
*** Like Falulu for the same reason her surname is often written as "Bokerdole ", but she doesn't have a surname at all.
** Chili is the official translation for her name, but fans tend to spell it as "Chiri" thanks to the fansubs. It doesn't help that the japanese pronunciation is actually "Chiri".
** Jewlie or Juri.
** Jewlulu, Jururu or Jululu.
** Janis or Janice.
** Michiru's surname is written as either Koda or Kouda [[note]] It's officially "Koda" [[/note]]. Also applies to her alter ego Miichiru, which is written in katakana rather than hiragana.
** Western fans have a tendency to skip one of the I's in "Nijiiro"'s double I.
** Shuuka or Shuka
** Farara or Falala, it's officially "Falala" though. It doesn't help that the japanese pronunciation is actually "Farara".
** Garara is the official translation for her name, but fans tend to spell it as "Galala" thanks to the fansubs
** According to the 2nd volume of the PriPara & Idol Time PriPara Animation Setting Materials Collection, her name is officially spelled "Unikon", but the fansubs spell it as "Unicorn"
** According to the 2nd volume of the PriPara & Idol Time PriPara Animation Setting Materials Collection, officially it's "Punikon" but the fansubs spell it as "Punicorn".
