Real? Fake? We Ain't Afraid of No Ghosts! (known as The Ghost Hunters in the US) is the 28th episode of Smile PreCure! (23rd of Glitter Force), and the 417th episode overall of Pretty Cure.
The girls scour their school looking for ghosts, with Majorina deciding to give them a fright they'll never forget.
Tropes:
- Awesome, but Impractical: Majorina's middle school Akanbee is a haunted house and the largest Akanbee in the series. But, can't attack directly since he's too big to move.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: In Majorina's first scene, after she gets a fright from a fallen bottle, she turns to the audience and insists that she wasn't afraid.
- Call-Back: Nao remembers Majorina's ability to become a younger version of herself.
- Kimodameshi: The premise of this episode.
- Mass "Oh, Crap!": In the ending, the girls all freak out from the real scariest thing; all the homework they neglected over the summer!
- Ocular Gushers: Miyuki has these when she admits she didn't do any of her summer homework.
- Shout-Out: The title includes one to the slogan of Ghostbusters.
- Spooky Painting: One of the rooms the girls investigate contains one of these, the figure being Majorina.
- Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises: All over the place from all the scares everyone gets.
