For villains from Go Princesses I quite liked Close.

Larryb posted:Yeah I understand that, I was just curious if they ever found away around that particular issue in either the original show or Max Heart (I'm guessing not though). This was also a plot point in Suite Pretty Cure as well. The initial villain Siren largely tries to prey on the girls feuds and create discord between them as they need to be together to transform. Though she tended to focus on it too much to her detriment as her boss points out that her direct subordinates were getting a better track record of collecting the macguffins of the series.

nielsm posted:Watched GoPri ep 18, did not expect Princess Twilight to take the precures on personally. And then lose. I'm even a little disappointed in her for that. While I realize she's not the final boss, it still makes me wonder how they're going to spend the remaining 32 episodes. There are still 2 generals left.

P-Mack posted:Dumb Futari Wa Precure question for Japanese/high level weebs: do school children actually play lacrosse much in Japan? Here in the US it's mainly a northeast regional thing, and was even more so back in the 90s. Just curious why they picked it for Nagisa's thing. From quickly checking it seems pretty popular. They are full members of the international Lecrosse Leagues.

Larryb posted:The only reason I would think of for skipping to Kira Kira would be because as of right now it's the most recently completed series. Otherwise Go Princess probably would be a safer bet in my opinion (other potential options would be Suite, Fresh, Splash Star or a redub of Futari Wa). Why not Heartcatch?

I'm surprised Kappard was fought right off the bat. Normally the Generals don't get so physical. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Feb 4, 2019 |

Larryb posted:True, it was mostly just a bunch of mooks and a brief fight with a general but I'm assuming we'll be learning more about the Notraiders and how the monsters in this season are going to work next episode. Some places are spelling the villain's name as the Knot Raiders. Do Knots relate to Space in any way.

From the opening it looks like there are five or so generals. And we are getting a new one next week.

I am thinking the Notraider generals may take on a gimmick like Elisio from Kira Kira. Namely he transformed instead of using monsters later on in the series.

Larryb posted:Based on the silhouettes in the OP one of them looks kind of like a bull, also I think this may be the first time I've ever seen a female tengu in Japanese media. The only Bull like Yokai I can think of is Gozu of Gozu and Mezu. (Aka Ox Head and Horse Face.) who serve as the guards of the Underworld. So maybe a partner pair based on those two. I think I counted five generals in the opening not counting the looming figure above that I assume is the big bad. Edit: Looking at the video I don't think one of them looks like a bull at all. From the Shadowy looks I would guess the three remaining generals are a Tanuki, Kitsune and Oni. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Feb 18, 2019 |

For Star Twinkle It appears the ours villain group's name is supposed to be Nottoraiders, coming from "nottoru" which means "Take Over".

Wonder what kind of Yokai the Wolf like general is based on. Edit: Like Garogre and Eyeone are pretty obvious. Maybe it will be clear when we get his name. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Feb 25, 2019 |

Larryb posted:That one could just be a generic wolfman, unless there's a specific wolf-like yokai in Japanese mythology. He also seems more like a butler than an actual general at this point but we'll see. Garogre definitely seems to be the big bad at the moment though (he's also Dogold from Kyoryuger). Garogre mentions that they have to prepare stuff for their Sealed Lord. So he seems to be the second in command.

Larryb posted:Yeah, I meant he seems like the one in charge for now until the actual Notraider leader is inevitably brought back. But we'll see how things go down as the season progresses (sometimes enemy generals in Precure wind up being more of a big deal than they initially seem, Lock and Close from Go Princess for example). Oh he will probably be important as the interim leader. I would also not be shocked if Dog Butler was more important than he appears.

Huh now that I have another look at him, he could totally be a Cat. In fact I would say he is more catlike then doglike. So yeah he could be based on a Nekomata.

The Cat Butler's name is Bakenyan. So he is based on a bakeneko/Nekomata.

It looks like Aiwan will be the Monster of the Week creator. From the Preview Tenjo is back next week, but she has a new piece of gear that I am guessing will enhance her notrays. Assuming Aiwan gets all the remaining Pens and loses them in the same episode. There will be ten Notrigger fights. Tenjo I assume will enhance her notrays in various ways. And I predict Kappard will attack himself.

Larryb posted:Plus we still need to introduce our mystery girl from the OP at some point (I think there's at least two NotRaider generals left unaccounted for at the moment as well). I think all the NotRaider Generals from the opening have showed up. Kappard, was at the bottom, Ayewan to the right, Tenjou the left, Bakenyan the center, and Garogre above them.

On Star Twinkle. Going by the preview. Galogre appears to be punishing his subordinates, and then what looks like a souped up Kappard appears. I am thinking the next episode maybe Kappard's last hurrah. Which I think would actually put him under Pisard for Precure villain attacks.

Larryb posted:Me too, it just felt especially blatant in that particular case. On the subject of Doki Doki, I forget but does Ace’s five minute time limit ever get fixed? Because of this I decided to check all the series to see how long it took for the first general to go down. Futari Wa: Pisard Episode 5. Spash Star: Karehan Episode 7. (Moerumba goes down faster however. Only lasting five episodes, but he comes back later.) Yes 5: Girinma Episode 24. Yes 5 GoGo: Scorp Episode 11. Fresh: Eas Episode 23 Heartcatch Sasorina episode 40. Suite: Siren Episode 21. Smile: All of them Episode 45. Doki Doki!: Regina Episode 23 (Though she comes back.) Levia and Gula go for good in Episode 31. Happiness Charge: Phantom Episode 41. Go Princess: Close Episode 11 (He comes back much later) Lock goes down for good in episode 30. Mahou Girls: Sparda Episode 15 Kira Kira: Julio Episode 22 (Though it's a bit weird as The Kirakiraru Thieves are the villains for the first ten episodes and he does not show up until 10. HUGtto: Charaleet episode 11. (Though Daigan goes down the quickest lasting one episode 23 when he first tries to attack)

BattleCattle posted:On that note, I'm grateful to the cat butler. He stopped Iwan from turning Mr. Tardigrade into a big monster for tactical reasons, but let's be real, he just didn't want to see a big tardigrade monster any more than I did. Pretty sure Bakenyan did that cause he is good at pattern recognition. The last two times she did that, she lost the Pen.

Bakenyan is for sure not entirely on the Notraiders side. This latest episode had him look worried when the generals were upgraded and he looked relieved when the Notrigger was defeated.

Just got up through episode 36 so now I know everything such as Mephisto's deal, who Otokichi is, and Cure Muse's true identity revealed. Everything is explained! Well...kind of.

Larryb posted:Back onto Star Twinkle, I’m still hoping the Princesses get to be actual characters later in the series as opposed to just being stuck in their respective palaces the whole time. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mao was connected to them somehow as well, she did know right off the bat that Hikaru and the others were the Precure after all. I think it's because Bakenyan is her informant.

Something I should point out Mao is the persona, not Blue Cat. When Blue Cat disguises herself as Drams, the disguise has a few of Mao's characteristics. This implies to me that Blue Cat is what she actually looks like, Mao is just another disguise.

Larryb posted:Like I said, I kind of hope her Blue Cat form sticks around a bit longer even after she becomes Cure Cosmo. It also would be interesting if she continued to act as a free agent for a while after gaining Cure powers and didn’t join up with the other four right away. Her Blue Cat form likely will stick around, as it's her true form. I doubt she will adopt Mao as her identify. Like at most I see her maybe removing the Glasses and Hat for her civ outfit.
