Selfish's Trap! The Christmas Without Mana is the 44th episode of Doki Doki! PreCure, and the 481st episode overall of Pretty Cure.
Mana is tricked into leaving the Cures at Christmastime.
Tropes:
- Christmas Episode: The episode takes place around Christmas.
- Expy: With her white-and-blue Sailor Fuku with a red scarf and long blonde pigtails, Marmo's student disguise is very reminiscent of Usagi Tsukino (fittingly, Toei Animation was working on Sailor Moon Crystal at the time). Her light brown skin, golden eyes, and purple accessories may also bring Sasorina to mind.
- Opaque Nerd Glasses: Ira's schoolboy disguise includes a pair of these.
