Trivia / Futari wa Pretty Cure

• Acting for Two: In the German dub, Mepple and Mipple are both voiced by Diana Borgwardt.
• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer:
  • The descriptions for Canadian TV listings for the English dub claimed the protagonists' names were Nagisa and Honoka, their original Japanese names, rather than Natalie and Hannah, their dub names. Only the first 10 episodes and the last 5 episodes used the English names for the characters.
  • When a French streaming service announced that they got the rights to the series, an image of KiraKira★Pretty Cure à la Mode was shown...which turned out to be an accidental leak of the series that would be released in July.
• The Danza: Akane Fujita is voiced by Mikako Fujita.
• Dueling Dubs: There exists two English dubs of the first season. One dubbed by The Ocean Group in Canada and another by Odex in Singapore.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: The fate of both the Canadian and Singaporean English dubs, apparently. However, clips of the Canadian dub are found on YouTube, of all places. As for the Singaporean dub...
• No Export for You: The Ocean Group only dubbed the first season in English.
• Referenced by...: For shared examples, see here. For references exclusive to this series:
  • In And Shine Heaven Now, Cure Black and Cure White show up to help fight Incognito.
  • In Shinozaki-san Ki wo Ota Shika ni!, one of the anime series Akina is obsessed with is titled "Futari de PrePure".
  • In Weathering With You, there's a shot of some cosplayers dressed as Cure Black and Cure White.
• Screwed by the Network:
  • YTV, despite paying for the dub, put it in really bad time slots and only aired the first 12 episodes for the first few months. At least they managed to complete the first season. This is one of the reasons the series wasn't able to get off the ground in the American continent when it came to TV broadcasts.
  • The same thing happened with the Mexican Spanish dub, since they only dubbed 26 episodes. Not to mention Televisa (the series' Mexican broadcaster) did this in a Springtime for Hitler scheme so they'd be able to stop broadcasting the series, since they'd never wanted to do so but were basically forced to by Toei Animation.
• Sleeper Hit: Started off this way in Japan, believe it or not. Originally dismissed as a run of the mill Magical Girl series, word of mouth about the high octane action found in the series spread, increasing the ratings to the point where the original 49 episode season got a second season. The rest is history.
• What Could Have Been:
  • If you can believe it, 4Kids Entertainment got the rights to the show once upon a time, but after a couple years of unsuccessfully trying to get a TV deal, they let it expire.
  • The show's Transformation Trinket, the Card Commune, was originally conceived as a revived version of the Tamagotchi, but Bandai wanted a TV show made to advertise the toy, resulting in the show's creation.
  • There was a in-house pitch dub done by Toei for this show that featured Stephanie Sheh as a voice for one or both of the lead characters, per her own words.
• Written by Cast Member: One of Nagisa’s character songs, ‘100% Courage With The Power To Believe!!’ is written by Yoko Honna herself.
