History Anime / HugttoPrettyCure

* AnAesop: "The tragedies of yesterday can't be undone, but you can make tomorrow better."

* ForWantOfANail: [[spoiler: According to an interview with Kawamura in the January 2019 issue of ''Animage'', Hana from the future where George and Hugtan came from never transferred schools. Because she never met Saaya or Homare and was stuck in such a hostile environment, Hana saw no reason to better herself at all. This also meant that Emiru and Masato would still be living under the oppressive mentality of their grandfather, Saaya would be pressured by the high expectations set by her mother, and Homare would've remained a delinquent or worse.]] %%To make things even more depressing, it's implied that this Hana was eventually DrivenToSuicide from both her low self-esteem and from the pressure of being a Pretty Cure.]]

* BeamMeUpScotty[[invoked]]: Saaya "quotes" a statement from Mother Teresa in episode 2, but the phrase was one [[http://www.motherteresa.org/quotes-falsely-attributed-to.html#enaglish2 commonly misattributed to her.]]

* {{Dramedy}}: For every character's personal RunningGag like Harry's "I am not a mouse!", Hana's "[[CatchPhrase Big Shock!]]" [[note]] "Mechokku!" [[/note]], or anytime Ruru's being TheComicallySerious; each of them has also been the centerpiece of a major WhamEpisode whose effects on the narrative have largely permeated throughout the series or otherwise [[DarkerAndEdgier have shown darker and deeper implications]].

''[=HuGtto=]! Pretty Cure'' (known internationally as ''Hug! Pretty Cure'') is the fifteenth entry in the ''Anime/PrettyCure'' franchise, commemorating the franchise’s [[MilestoneCelebration 15th anniversary]] and the last entry fully produced in the Heisei era. It is the thirteenth separate continuity in the series and began airing in February of 2018, preceded by ''Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode'' and followed by ''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure''.

* DarkerAndEdgier: While it doesn't seem overt in the current story, Harry's reveal of what happened to him and Hugtan as a result of Criasu's schemes and machinations definitely counts as this, compared to the state of the fairy worlds from the last [[Anime/MahoGirlsPrecure two]] [[Anime/KiraKiraPrecureAlaMode installments]]. The state of his homeworld is eerily identical to the BadFuture of ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky'', in which time itself has been essentially lost to everyone and the entire world is nothing more than a stone husk. [[spoiler:Made even worse when it's revealed that they don't come from a different world. [[WhamLine They come from the future of the current world.]]]]

* RealMenWearPink: Henri [[WholesomeCrossdresser doesn't really seem to mind wearing a dress]] in his Cure form.
