General
- Because of the many fanmade Pretty Cure teams and heroines in the fandom, this inevitably comes into play whenever information about the next season turns out to include a Cure with a common Original Character name, such as Cure Blossom, Cure Melody, Cure Heart, Cure Diamond and Cure Mermaid.
- The franchise also has a surprising tendency to attract ballet-related examples:
- Cure Rhythm's tutu in Suite Pretty Cure ♪ was once described on a LiveJournal entry reviewing all the Pretty Cure costumes up to this point
as making her look "almost like a cross between a ballerina and a princess". Three seasons later, we get a Pretty Cure who's both a ballerina and a princess. - An early mistranslation ("volley", as in volleyball, accidentally being translated into "ballet" due to similar katakana) caused some fanon about Akane from Smile Pretty Cure! practicing ballet. Then Minami, who actually practiced ballet, came on the scene...
- Nearly two full decades after Sailor Moon tried out for a role in Giselle, Go! Princess Pretty Cure lead character Cure Flora performed a selection from the ballet for a recital.

- Speaking of Sailor Moon, something related to character design: in the figure skating episode, look very closely in the crowd during the first shot of the hopefuls auditioning to replace Janelyn as Misha's figure skating partner. One of them, a redhead in a black and pink tunic, bears a pretty major resemblance to one of the franchise's first heroines.
Fresh Pretty Cure!
- In Episode 12, the pink wig with the gold crown that Miki wears looks almost identical to Princess Marie-Ange's hair.
Smile PreCure!
- The lyrics to "Yay! Yay! Yay!", the first ending, include the words doki doki Precure. Guess what's the name of the season that came after Smile?
Maho Girls Pretty Cure!
- Similar to the Smile example, the second ED for Maho Girls Pretty Cure! contained the phrase "a la mode". The series to follow after it was KiraKira★Pretty Cure à la Mode.
