* ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'' ([[Franchise/PrettyCure and such]]) -> "Precure" (starting with ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'', "Precure" is used on the title image instead of "Pretty Cure")
** It's also a pun (try pronouncing "Precure" in an [[GratuitousEnglish Engrish]] accent) on ''purikura'' (lit., "Print Club"), those trendy photobooths popular in Japan. Just why is a mystery; its relevance is never alluded to within the series.


Added DiffLines:

* ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' (and its first installment, ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'') -> "Precure". While the Japanese equivalent "Purikyua" has always been the OfficiallyShortenedTitle of the series in Japanese, the English logos of each series always wrote out "Pretty Cure" in full until ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'', at which point they just say "Precure". English sources still use the two interchangeably.
