What is your favorite henshin of these 3 seasons? And, more broadly, what makes a good henshin sequence?
Splash Star
We get an episode about Minori being a terrible little goblin, leading to friction between Mai and Saki. But more importantly, it's time to Salsa, baby! Moerumba is here! And he's going to show you a good time, señoritas! Then we also get an episode with sock puppets, a lame class representative, and bread in the shape of foxes and pandas.
Happiness Charge
The girls go to a festival that celebrates the time god fell in love with a girl- Blue WHAT DID YOU DO!?!? but they receive a bad fortune! and then Oresky shows up, he's here!! He's finally here! Just when all hope is lost, Cure Fortune appears to save the day and leave an onimous message for Megumi. Then, thinking they are too weak, the girls decide to take up karate. It's not enough to beat Oresky again and this time theyre saved by a new Cure, Cure Honey?? Who is she, and why is her song so great?!? Also, we meet some international cures and we ponder if they're respectful or not.
Soaring Sky
Bird Watch, 2023- where's the bird? But more importantly, WHO is bird? Oh, his name is Tsubasa and he's also a boy who can become a bird and a bird that can become a boy! He wants to fly but can't, so instead he's decided to study aerodynamics. When Kabaton attacks, the boy who is a bird who is also a boy must go to Elle's aid, and in doing so, the boy who is a bird who once was a boy also becomes a PreCure- Cure Wing to be exact. And the day is saved! By the.... By the bird boy... boy bird? Boy band? Cure Wing saves the day!
