10** On the ''Pretty Cure'' end; Cure Wisdom is a pink leader, a tradition that started with ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'', while Cure Space and Cure Crimson are a purple and red duo that have to transform together like [[Anime/HugttoPrettyCure Cure Macherie and Cure Amour]], and the second arc's villain is [[Anime/HirogaruSkyPrettyCure Kabaton]]. One {{filler}} chapter shows that in this series, every team of Cures, including previous Kedabory Verse teams, exists simultaneously and alongside each other and they always look out for each other.
