Not very impressive in scale compared to later MEH's in the franchise, but it was the first especially despicable act of villainy the franchise ever saw, and it's notable in that it resulted in Cure Black killing Gekidrago.

Ho Yay: Nagisa/Honoka is the Fan-Preferred Couple for this series.This means Cure Black really is a Kamen Rider!

Cure Black's voice actress was a child actress before becoming a voice actress, appearing in series like Kamen Rider BLACK and Kamen Rider BLACK RX.note In fact, the violent action scenes ironically returned as early as the latter half of Splash Star. Similarly, people thought that this show was the best one due to having the Good Old Fisticuffs toned down in later seasons, as the hand-to-hand combat have become just as violent as of Heartcatch.It's pretty funny now since succeeding Cures like Cure Berry and Cure Melody show their navels with zero complaints. Cure Black's outfit was modified a bit to cover her belly button after complaints from Moral Guardians.This caused that Pretty Cure as a franchise got forgotten not much after, though in turn it ensured Futari Wa remained as its most popular season in the memory of many Spaniards. However, roughly two years since its emission, the channel decided to shoot the franchise dead and replace it with Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch. For a long time, the series was the hottest anime prospect in RTVE: it received an unusually expensive dub, was advertised ad nauseam, and its run was succesful enough to distribute Max Heart and the movies (and even talk about bringing Splash Star and Yes! 5). The Canadian dub is pretty popular in the UK thanks to PopGirl's Daily Broadcasts, compared to the rate YTV back in Canada broadcasted the show.
