Wonderful Precure may contain nursery themes

kyuura here just doing some speculation. I suspect wonderful precure may contain nursery themes due to how the logo is designed. Here’s why!

Unlike ALL the other precure seasons we had, Wonderful Precure is wholly written in Hiragana (ぷりきゅあ) instead of the usual プリキュア in Katakana

If you are not familiar with the Japanese language. There are two ways in writing Japanese alphabets: Hiragana and Katakana

To put it in a simple analogy with English language…Hiragana is kind of like the basic ABC’s, while Katakana is the ‘capital letters’ (sorry this is the only way I can explain it)

I describe Katakana as “capital letters” because Katakana is usually used in special circumstances such as non-Japanese names, or non-Japanese words.

Words such as Ice-cream (アイスクリーム), bus (バス), orange (オレンジ)… a lot of words that are basically English written in Japanese phonetics. They are all written in Katakana. Names like Mary (マリー), Johann (ヨハン), Candy (キャンディ) etc etc. Basically if the word is not a Japanese word, it’s very likely it will be written in Katakana.

プリキュア (precure) has always, always been written in Katakana for all these 20+ years.

Therefore, the FULL Hiragana title, Wonderful Precure really stands out because “Wonderful Precure”, both words being non-Japanese words, a special title / name, would be more proper if written in Katakana: ワンダフルプリキュア

Hiragana is the ‘baby language’. Hiragana is the first thing children learn in school. In fact, lot of children books are actually strictly written in Hiragana even some words aren’t supposed to be written in Hiragana.

(The pictures above do have some Katakana but the Katakana words are always accompanied by Hiragana as a note on the side just in case children are still learning how to read Katakana. But… you get my point!)

So with Wonderful Precure written in full Hiragana… there might be a nursery theme going on !!
