Okay, before everything else, I need to share the absolute most important thing: The ultimate Shadow is a hedgehog.

(I think it's actually supposed to be a porcupine, but the ultimate shadow being a hedgehog is funnier.)

Ehem. Anyways... I enjoyed this episode, yes. Especially Bell's whole "I can't believe turning all people into sapient blobs of negative managed to create a cosmic horror that is indiscriminately destroying the town! How could this have possibly happened?!"

Also Nozomi may be having a heart attack, which. Not fun, but does raise the stakes. ...But also, Black and White are here, and let's be real here, Black and White could have probably taken this thing on their own.

Next episode should be the final episode, so. We shall see how the finale goes. I don't... think they'll kill Nozomi, but also Nozomi keeps death-flagging like crazy.

So anyways, Hirogaru, we continue the flashback... I will admit that I was wrong.

Instead, it turned out those two whole episodes did not give us any real answers at all.

We did not get her backstory, beyond "once, she was a good person and her actions brought peace to Skyland and Undergu". Which. Explains absolutely nothing, especially on the question of why she's so spiteful towards Skyland in particular.

Anyways, ancillary stuff! ...There's been an announcement of a Precure exhibition in Yokohama, going from December 28th, to January 9th if you're in the area in that time. ...But also why would you be reading this if you were, right?

The Otona Precure Blu-rays have been announced, with 1 releasing on April 24th, 2 on May 29th, and 3 on June 26th.

Hirogaru Precure and Otona Precure both look to be having an episode next week, but Hirogaru isn't going to have an episode on the 31st...

Oh, and the Pre-ED for today was Butterfly. Yes, even though she was completely irrelevant this episode.

Any time cure white and black show up an enemy is going to get fucking stuffed.

That's what they do now.

They are the Strongest Precures after all. ...Even though several teams now have actual gods as teammates.

they NEED gods as teammates

B&W don't.

They were the last good pokemon games. They are the strongest precure.
