I don't think there's any significance? To me they just look like regular ballet outfits that don't really resemble any particularly important piece I know of. They do, however, kinda remind me of stuff in Utena, which given the above tweet and the fact that Cube is a big fan of that anime is probably the entire point.

But seriously, if any of y'all like magical girls and haven't seen Tutu then you really need to watch yourself some Tutu.

Does anyone actually read these?

It's good. I looked into it because entries here on TV Tropes made it sound like something in the vein of my favorite Discworld book, Witches Abroad, in how it plays with fairy tales.

I like the Alt Text "The Practicing Magical Girl Stuff club would actually be fewer words"

Edit: It occurs to me nobody's noted that Undine is watching Team Melty be couple-y when Zoe approaches her.

Say Training three times and Kokoro appears behind you, with an enthusiastic smile.

Chapter 16, page 6.

Alt text: "Apple isn't even a member of team Notorious!"

Outrageous Apple and Forte Bass are twins, apparently.

Big reveal: Bud has been tracking the Golden One. I'm taking this as evidence in favor of my "shit's about to get real" theory.

I wonder how long Bud's been invested in trying to find the Golden One.

...wow, they really do look alike now that I look at them together.

I like Forte Bass. Hope she gets better representation next popularity poll.

So one sister is named Gail, is it correct to assume that the other one is named Abby?

Also I don't really remember anything about a golden owl, could someone fill me in?

It's The Golden One, a creature that's been manifesting as different golden animals to many different girls over the course of the comic, generally leading them to where they could help other girls in danger.

It makes sense that Bud would know about it. She knows everything that's talked about in school, and with enough appearances, The Golden One would eventually start making the rounds as a rumour. And apparently Bud thinks something's up with it.

Also, just noticed, but Bud has some serious bags under her eyes. Wonder if it's her power or if she's just tired.

Here's the time the Golden One led Team Outrageous to help Undine and HP: [1] [2]

Outrageous Apple's presence in this page confused me and I thought the Team Outrageous incident was the one they were talking about, and I was surprised that it apparently only happened "last night", but no, the "last night" incident they're talking about was with Team Forte, not Outrageous.

...Huh, both twins are thematic to different friend groups, but have matching hair and color schemes? Again I must wonder exactly what intelligence is planning this stuff...

[up][up]If they grew up together, I'd expect that twins very rarely end up on the same thematic team.

Oh, so did HP put Bud up to this, or is that in reference to someone else? Interesting.

Also, lotta girls with bruises and patches today, huh.

Do you think Team Alchemical's deaths should be spoiler-tagged on the wiki? I count being a First-Episode Twist as good reason not to tag it.

What a sight it must be to see the most popular teenage celebrity in the city/world reduced to a stuttering, blushing mess.

My own thought was that this is the girliest we've ever seen HP being. Though, it makes sense given her earlier, brain-induced nightmare.

HP definitely has a thing about people disliking her, both in general and with Undine in particular.

Makes me wonder if she had a bad experience before. Probably not with Lime, since they're on good enough terms to tease each other.

[down]Corrected.

[up]...you mean Lime? She's the one we've seen HP interact with out of Team Outrageous.

Anyhow, this is a complete non-issue, but I was reading through the comic's YMMV page and I noticed that after the popularity poll somebody made a Scrappy entry for Team Forte as a whole, citing them constantly getting last in the polls as the reason, and... I don't think that really counts as a Scrappy? Scrappies are generally disliked for some reason or another, while Team Forte's issue is more that they're just not as popular as everybody else. As far as I'm aware they're not really disliked at all, just sort of unlucky, so I don't really think that entry's got a point there.
