* ActorAllusion: In the Italian dub, Cure Pine's voice actress, Benedetta Ponticelli, does the Italian voice of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]] (and Applejack too). Both Fluttershy and Inori are shy, kind, soft spoken, and love animals. They also have yellow color schemes.



* MeaningfulName

* MeaningfulNameMeaningfulName:
** The first kanji in Love's surname 桃 suits her pink color motif, and her forename [[GratuitousEnglish Love]] suits her being the Precure of Love.
** Two kanji in Miki's name, 蒼 and 希, suit respectively her blue color motif and her being the Precure of Hope.
** Inori's surname Yamabuki is the Japanese word for Japanese Kerria, whose yellow color is the same as her Cure form.


Added DiffLines:

** Name another Miki who has blue as her theme color and the spade from playing cards as her symbol; ''Manga/ShugoChara'' may come to mind.

* HeroicRROD: Love, Miki, and Buki ends up overworking themselves through their commitments with school, their dance practices, being Precures, and personal life matters such as Buki's animal hospital business and Miki's modelling jobs. Eas noticed this, and in episode 20 she secretly devised a plan to overwork the Cures massively to the point of reaching this trope. It worked: The Cures barely beat the Nakisakebe and then fainted not long after they detransformed at the end of episode, forcing them to be hospitalized. Eventually, they were able to balance it out better.

Earlier in the episode when the girls got hospitalized due to their HeroicRROD in the previous episode, she scolds the girls that unless they make themselves healthy again, they can't be expected to participate in the dance contest. The girls transforming in front of her made her realize that they have been trying their best and giving their all, both as dancers under her training and as Precures.

* CoverIdentityAnomaly: In episode 40, Ayumi got impersonated by a Sorewatase (courtesy of Northa) and gets locked inside a MirrorWorld whilst the fake Ayumi infiltrates the Momozono household. Problem is, it's clear Northa didn't do the research and thus, Sorewatase!Ayumi made ''a lot'' of mistakes, as listed below:
** For starters, it knew Chiffon's name and importance to the heroes. Ayumi knew Chiffon is in the house, but she didn't know it's a [[spoiler:LivingMacGuffin]] (let alone the fact it has a name) since the girls explained to her early on that Chiffon is just a stuffed doll.
** It didn't force Love and Setsuna to eat carrots and pepper, their respective [[DoesNotLikeSpam hated]] foods.
** It had Northa's markings on her body. Worse, Sorewatase!Ayumi didn't try to speak to Northa in secrecy. When Setsuna spots Sorewatase!Ayumi speaking to Northa, this gives Setsuna the clue that this Ayumi is not the real Ayumi.
** It called Setsuna by her real name, while normally Ayumi would call Setsuna as "Sets-chan". Love, who had been completely oblivious up until this point, finally gets suspicious.
** It didn't know that there were different bracelets made for Love and Setsuna. Love puts the one intended for Setsuna on her hands to test Sorewatase!Ayumi, and when Sorewatase!Ayumi says the bracelet's colors fits Love, Love ''finally'' realizes that this Ayumi is fake.

''Fresh'' was an attempt to refresh (no pun intended) the ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' franchise after the successful but derivative ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5''.
