Moments pages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned!
As "food brings smiles" In-Universe, there's definitely moments guaranteed to bring smiles to us.General
- During the first eyecatch, the fairies are seen by the Cures sleeping in the tops of coloured glasses, with Ran trying to poke Mem-Mem while Yui and Kokone clearly are thinking the same thing as the viewers.
- Practically every single scene with Kome-Kome as a human girl, due to the mother-daughter dynamic she has with Yui, is too adorable for words.
- This dynamic also spreads to Amane, who acts as the responsible parent, helping her learn to write and handle when disagreements happen.
- This extends to Kome, by the mid-point of the series, appearing constantly in her human form, with there being only a few times she actually appears as a fox.
- Not that she isn't utterly adorable as a fox. She is the first to truly melt Kokone's heart in said form after all!
Episode 1
- Yui's act of instinctively saving a baby from a sliding stroller. She does it without hesitation as well, running towards the stroller and being able to save it in time. It's the season's way of telling us that even though her fascination with rice balls is her Establishing Character Moment, she's also selfless and will lend anyone a hand in need.
- When the incident nearly knocks Ran and her bike over, Yui asks if everything's okay. Ran reassures her that the delivery ramen box is sturdy, with Yui, not letting her finish, asking if she is okay. Ran smiles and thanks her for it.
- Yui bringing in Rosemary (who had been starving) to her restaurant to eat. Even though he can't pay for it, they let him eat and make up for it with some labor. He's grateful for it.
- Why does Yui love rice balls so much? When she was younger, her grandmother gave her one to comfort her and give her the line "Food equals smiles". Not only does she cheer up instantly, Yui also sees a "Rice Ball Fairy", later revealed to be a Recipepe.
- Why does Yui become a Pretty Cure? Because the Omurice Recipepe was crying, declaring that she will save it. Just being Badass Adorable doesn't cut it for her.
Episode 2
- A flashback shows how Yui took the time to take care of a kitten stuck in the rain. Once she was able to nurse it back to health, her grandma praised her for having strength because she had a kind heart to care for others.
Episode 3
- When Kome-Kome goes out to get some vegetables, and ends up in all kinds of scrapes, Takumi finding her, Yui congratulates Kome-Kome on how well she did with the simple errand, like a mother telling her young daughter that, even if she didn't intend for her to go out to do it, she still managed it with flying colours.
- Kome-Kome is later seen holding the head of one of the carrots, which Yui clearly gave her as a reminder of her big girl shopping trip, and that simple gesture causes her to change into an infant girl, managing to say a few words and sit at the table with her 'mother'. Even Pam-Pam notes that Kome-Kome turned into a human because she wanted to be like Yui.
Episode 4
- Kokone showing a softer side with animals. She tries to pull out a heavy cushion in order to free a rabbit that is stuck there and Yui helps her out.
- Kokone refuses to escape the Delicious Field because she wants to be able to enjoy bread with Yui again, stating how Yui made her feel warm inside in having a friend. This grants her the power to become a Precure alongside Pampam.
Episode 5
- Yui calling Kokone by her first name, with the narrator stating that Kokone is so happy that someone is calling her that instead of just Lady Fuwa.
- Thanks to everyone's encouragement, Kokone is able to become more social.
Episode 6
- After Kokone saves some of her friends trapped in a storage locker, they all get to join in on rock-paper-scissors to see who would do cleaning duties.
Episode 7
- Mem-Mem takes a good liking to Ran immediately.
Episode 8
- While it ends in failure, it is nice that Takumi did want to go on a date with Yui.
Episode 9
- Yui's plan to deal with the friction between her friends is to simply get a kid's xylophone, give it Kome-Kome, and just tell them to watch her. It even almost works!
- During the battle against the Ubauzo, Gentlu seemingly snaps out from her brainwashing just as her Ubauzo is about to finish off the Cures. She immediately yells at the Ubauzo to stop attacking and everyone, including the Ubauzo itself, is confused.
- Once Kokone and Ran make up, Kome-Kome transforms into a human once more. Only this time, she's aged into a 2-3 year old who is capable of standing and using simple words!
- Throughout the entire episode, Ran had trouble deciding what icon to use for her blog. Kokone wanted a panda because of the restaurant while Ran thought ramen would be better because she's into ramen. The final shot reveals that she chose both- a panda eating a bowl of ramen.
Episode 11
- When Ran has defeated Gentlu, Yui gives an impassioned speech outlining the exact reasons why she wants to redeem her, including the fact that she barely did any collateral damage and actually protected a group of students. The even more heartwarming fact? She's right on all counts.
Episode 12
- Rosemary picks up a business card for Fruit Parlor Kasai, showing it the Cures before they fight Gentlu, knowing it proves Yui's point. What's on it? Only a image of the Parfait Recippi, drawn by Amane herself, showing, like the Cures, she loves the recippis...
- Just seeing that Amane had a close bond with said Recippi, to the point that she did a recognisable drawing of it.
Episode 13
- Takumi's parents met in a similar way that Yui found Rosemary at the beginning of the series. When Monpei decided that he had to leave, he decided to go back and marry An.
- The end of the episode has Takumi declare that he will follow his father's role as Black Pepper to protect Yui.
Episode 17
- Amane is immensely grateful to the Cures for freeing her from the Bundoru Gang's brainwashing, with only her own guilt complex making her not join their team immediately.
- Going on from the 12th episode's reveal of how Amane's first real encounter with a recipippi was the Parfait, we find out that it's because that particular recipippi has been within a few feet of her since she was a baby, as a constant companion.
- The Parfait Recippi's face practically lights up almost any time that her and Amane are in close proximity, as it practically is celebrating that Amane is back to normal once more.
Episode 18
- A scene of Amane doing a pinky promise to the Parfait keeps repeating throughout this mini-arc, and the source is revealed to be a moment where Amane, like only a precocious infant would, declares she 'wants to be a parfait', since they bring smiles to everyone. She then reaffirms said wish to the Parfait recipippi, which gathers all the warm hearts in that moment, where they join the newborn energy fairies, ensuring her wish will come true years later.
Episode 19
- The interactions between Amane and Yui; she effectively owes it to the Cures for helping her choose to stay as student council president, and their friendship is what ultimately drove her to discuss the cake preparations with them.
- Amane's brothers got into an argument about what type of cake they like years before the events of the series, so Amane solved it in a simple way. Every year since, they just make two cakes, one Yuan will enjoy and one Mitsuki will enjoy.
- While the cake competition is going on, the Energy Fairies and Parfait are left to their own devices. They proceed to make a third cake, that effectively represents the Cures themselves.
Episode 20
- Kokone and Amane's interactions are quite sweet to hear, especially as one thanks the other for teaching them a lesson in consideration. They even dance with each other at the end.
- There's also a cute scene in which Yui holds Kokone's hands while thanking her parents for inviting them, leaving her blushing and smiling.
Episode 22
- Kome-kome is seen sat next to a bottle of the Heart Sugar sweets, shortly after Takumi's friend has filled out the tag on one as a gift for his fiancee, and Amane suggests giving it as a gift to someone you love. The same bottle is seen at the end of the episode, with her having filled it out as a gift for Yui, like a daughter giving her mother a gift. She hugs her while echoing the sentiment perfectly.
- Over the course of the episode, Takumi's friend gives one to his fiancee, Cure Precious gives one to Black Pepper, Kome-kome gives one to Yui and Kokone makes one out to her parents. All but the last one are received with the proper sentiments.
Episode 23
- The entire episode is a huge collection of heartwarming moments between Kokone and her mother. One of the most heartwarming moments of the episode though can be summed up in one line...Young Kokone (sing-song while hopping up and down): Doughnuts, Doughnuts, Doughnuts...
- To further iterate, Kokone, as a child is walking outside the Heart Bakery, and shows an adorable desire for 'doughnut holes', or miniature ball doughnuts on a stick. Even into the present day, one of Kokone's guilty pleasures is still the same snack.
Episode 24
- When Kome has a massive falling out with Pam-Pam, over things like typecasting in their roleplay games, Amane immediately springs into action and goes to find the two fairies.
- As they're enjoying the pizza party alluded to during the study session, Kome taps her head like usual... to reveal she's now almost the same age as the Pretty Cure themselves.
Episode 27
- Ran invents a bubble wand that launches candied bubbles, eventually finding a formula that's both light enough to float and still is delicious.
- Kome-Kome meets Rin and Run, Ran's little brother and sister, and the reaction is completely unexpected and heart-warming, since they don't even react to her Overly Long Name or when she grows up abruptly, and Rin especially wants to have ears and tail like Kome does, something Ran effectively makes possible during a break in fixing her candy bubble wand.
Episode 28
- Yui reminding Kome-Kome that she considers her to be her beloved daughter, telling her that she doesn't care if she's not as powerful as the previous Kome-Kome, she loves her for who she is, and Kome-Kome discovers that all the Cures love her in their own way, allowing her to share her power with all of them.
