With Narcistoru's escape from prison, time travel hijinks, and Yui learning to improve upon her grandma's advice, there's a lot to chew on, but they were great for both character moments and mysteries that will be solved as the series comes to a close. Doki Doki PreCure We talk about what may be the worst PreCure movie ever! The plot is alright, but they make us watch a dog die, twice! But also it's about Mana getting married, maybe, and her grandma who became a fairy upon her passing, wow!

Then we get Ran's dreams of being an influencer and finding her courage to keep trying even when she messes up. It's good fun for everyone. Doki Doki PreCure Regina is back! And, thinking he has one last chance to best the PreCure, Bel tries to go undercover as Joe! It looks like the girls are about to claim the second sacred treasure- the Miracle Dragon Glaive, but it's actually Regina's love that's pure enough to draw the weapon?!? Oh no! Then in the next episode Makoto shines by writing a song about how much they love Regina and the girls unlock an angel wing power up! Incredible.

Also Gula and Leva are now married and we wish them all the best. Delicious PartyYui and a princess from a nearby nation decide to reenact Barbie's Princess and the Pauper.

Alice wonders how she can protect people and decides to do so by protecting people, but the episode is REALLY about Sebastian being incredible and having more sides to his personality. Rikka, on the other hand, cares for an amnesia stricken Ira and the two... start to form a romance, potentially?!? We were not expecting that. Delicious Party It's festival time, baby! Mari takes on the central role as they compete with another couple to see who will produce the best fried noodles! Also Secretoru has space time powers... maybe?!? What's that all about?

Doki Doki Two new baddies roll up, and one gives us yikes vibes for the wrong reasons, but we don't sense any malice from the show runners. We also meet Ace's civillian form and ask ourselves, who is this? What does this child want? Why is she so RUDE? Then both Mana and Makoto discover what it means to love, and Ai Freaking Brain-parasites herself into Mana's Mom's Mind. Momma Mia! Delicious Party Delicious party also rolls out a new character, an enby icon, and secretoru does a thing! Sadly, Narcistoru's buddy cop adventure with Mari seems to be but a forgotten dream.

Delicious Party Narcistoru has one last chance to impress his boss and he teases the PreCure for being weak, only for Kome Kome to awaken the power inside of her (it's love, alright?) and they capture the handsome boy, inspiring a new ship in Kathryn's heart Doki DokiThe Doki Doki girls (+ Joe) have to go to the Trump Kingdom to save Regina and the Princess, teaching Regina what love is along the way and converting her to the side of good.

Delicious Party Kome Kome feels like a freak for having the cutest ears and tail in the world. Also Ran invents a candy bubble wand. Also Narcistoru... killed Spiritoru? Also also, there was a Kome Kome I? A Kome Kome prime, if you will? Very interesting. Doki Doki We get a sports themed episode in which Regina cheats- of course she does- and Mana and co. have to overcome these obstacles with the power of friendship. The second episode involves a trek up the mountain, Regina's evil is purged from her system, and the Queen is found- but then Regina and the Queen are taken by the Mercenares. What a rollercoaster of emotions!
