It’s summer, everyone’s overworked including needs a break, none more so than Tanaka. Between having to deal with the fairies at home, manage the girls and his cafe duties, he has ZERO time to himself and is truly overdue for a vacation. Glad he got a LITTLE time off today, but it’s insane to think 6 people worked on his tasks today and still got overwhelmed while he does everything solo! Also, we FINALLY got some Nana focus!!

All of those fan letters are from me btw 😂nah but that’s an absolutely insane sorting job. The girls need an agency! The fact Tanaka did all that by himself every day on top of everything else is incredible.

Looks like even Zakkuri needs a break! I like how he watches cure wink when he’s down and out, relatable! He and Nana’s interactions were so good today. Uta was able to free Cutty, maybe Nana will be the one to help Zakkuri get out of the Kirakira stealing business! That is, if he ever apologizes for how he treated her at the end there! How dare you make Wink cry especially when you know full well you were just watching her performances and cheering for her!

Good episode as per

Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life, or something. In Tanaka's case.

Nana and Zakkuri interaction is so tropeish, delinquent and the kind girl. Zakkuri even shouted at the sunset.

So Tanaka/Tanakhan has never had any time off, let alone in summer, so the girls decide to do all the stuff he usually does. As for Nana helping...Zakkuri (even I didn't remember his name), I guess is the idea is that Idol Pretty Cure are his enemies, but he isn't theirs. I would...probably do the same thing, but only in the hope that he would eventually reform, and all that stuff, before something...unfortunate has to happen if the Chokkire Gang keeps trying to plunge the world into darkness (I find "pitch-black darkness" to be too literal, IMO).

As usual, though, Zakkuri has to try to take someone's kirakira, and of course the Pretty Cures have to stop them. Now, I imagine that when Nana gave him water, she knew this might happen. OTOH, it does look like he could reform at some point, and I do hope he does.

Also, maybe it's just me, but I wonder if Tanaka/Tanakhan might have learned to lighten up a little bit? In any case, it was an alright episode overall.

The next episode is called "Wink in the Sunflower Field"...at least that's how I translated it. I didn't quite catch the preview itself, but it seems to be exactly what it sounds like...

Look like we're near the point where Zakkuri open his heart.

Will all villains have an idol they admire? Cutty was a fan of Uta, and Zakkuri is now a fan of Nana.

It would be great to see Chokkirinu as a Kokoro fangirl! That would be hilarious!

finally, an episode with Nana having a bit of focus. Well, seems like Zakkuri really need is for someone to be nice to him -- Nana is the right girl to do just that.

also this is the first time for me to see a villain and a cure both sitting on a bench and talking to each other.

looking forward to next week.

@TachibanaHibiki
Chokkirinu would have great taste if it ends up being the case! :D
I think it'd be a really neat pattern, but it makes you wonder... Since there's only 3 members of Team Chokkiri and 5 Precure, will Zukyoon and Kiss end up having no fans on the other side?

@Rozu667 Maybe the leader of the villain gang would be a fan of both Kiss and Zukyoon?! :D

That's what I was thinking, actually! It'd only make sense, after all. We'll just have to wait and see. :D
