Smile Precure! (2012) S01 E09 · No Way! Yayoi`s Being Transferred!

[mahou-furbies]

One thing I like about Smile Precure is how the ending has a different beginning for each Cure.

[sparklingcurepeace]

I understand stories may often reveal details about a character that are major for us but small in the grand scheme. Therefore, you're not entirely expected to dwell on it. You just sort of have to accept it in many cases.

NOT CANDY AND POP BEING CHILDREN TO THE ROYAL QUEEN THOUGH!

Granted, I assume plenty of people were guessing before the series finale that Candy was the daughter of the queen, dare I say, hoping for such an outcome.

But that's it? No, I need lore. I need to know how the kids got there. As a matter of fact, I want a history for the kingdom and how the queen became the queen 😭.

I know I'll never get answers to this. I can accept it. But I don't have to like it.

Alright so,

I finished watching episode 17 of Smile Precure. The one featuring the comedy duo and has the girls doing a skit–at least, I think it's a skit–and they're obviously being real silly about it. Not on purpose because the girls all get nervous and fumble the script, aside from Reika, who is mostly doing so out of confusion.

A couple of their families are there, so it's even more embarrassing. But I noticed something interesting. When we first begin the scene, Miyuki's parents are the first to announce themselves. They appear pleasantly surprised to see her, with her mom being the first to address her. It sounds loud enough that anyone could hear, but it isn't until Miyuki's dad exclaims more openly of his presence that she seems to take note. This only serves to embarrass Miyuki further and she struggles to begin the act, naturally.

I apologize beforehand if the formatting of the screenshot is weird, I have never done this before from my laptop.

As you may notice in the first image, Ikuyo (mom) has a peculiar face. Now I know anime has a tendency to place expressions on characters that often exaggerate the emotion they're feeling or simply uses expressions that might be a little hard to read, but the audience gets the main gist.

At first, when Ikuyo sees Miyuki on stage, she's happy and blushing, as anime characters do when expressing that emotion. Yet, when her husband, Hiroshi, chimes to greet their daughter, her face alters somewhat. She still has the blush and the smile, yes, but it appears less wide and more nervous than anything. Notice how her brows are slightly upturned in that way so often utilized to demonstrate confusion or concern? You can do quite a bit with eyes and eyebrows, and if I had to guess, I think Ikuyo is a bit shy about brining too much attention to herself. That, or, she knows how her husband can be and shares in that same awkwardness her daughter may be experiencing as result of her husband calling out to her.

He's being harmless of course, but it's a weird thing nonetheless that Ikuyo would react this way. It's even more curious as the scene continues.

Poor Miyuki tries to introduce their group yet doesn't account for space and bumps her forehead on the microphone, causing her to cry in pain. It's accompanied by her signature "Hapupu~" pout and that helps to get the crowd going. Even her parents are having fun with it! Well, her dad is. Her mother...Her mother is rather conflicted, no? It's like those moments when you're trying your best to not laugh, but it's hard and your face is contorting as snorts and odd noises slip out. Whereas Hiroshi is enjoying himself, due to his own daughter's silliness; Ikuyo is struggling to keep composure, probably at her own daughter's expense.

I mean, maybe, she feels a little bad that she wants to laugh at her daughter hitting herself. Since it happened in front of a large audience, making things worse than if Miyuki's clumsiness was witnessed at home. Maybe, as I stated before, Ikuyo is not one for the spotlight to be on her, so that fact that it's her child up there, making such a blunder, it may as well be a direct signal to the family as a whole. Something like, "haha, look at the Hoshizora girl! They sure have a klutzy daughter!"

It could be both things! It's anyone's guess. Although, the biggest detail change to her face would have to be after the girls proceed with trying to tell the joke.

The gag is that Miyuki will tell Akane about a boy she likes, to which Akane asks if she knows him or not. Miyuki answers yes, listing his attributes and what should have been Akane's turn to reply was interrupted by a nervous Yayoi, spoiling the joke. Rather than Peter Pan being the object of her affections, Miyuki expresses love for Momotaro, both of which are fictional boys. Reika didn't quite understand the script, since she remembers Miyuki's crush confession the night of the school trip and the audience is exploding with laughter at this point.

Look at Hiroshi, hear's tearing! Look at Ikuyo, she's...

Gosh, she's looking pretty flustered over this isn't she? The question is, why?

Well, for one thing, and I'm going to be completely honest, if my daughter's secret love for animated characters ever made it to the public; I think I'd be pretty flushed in the face too. It's not a crime, but it certainly can come across as weird. Depending on the level of love and how much I'd know, it may even be concerning. Still, there's a good chance that maybe, MAYBE, Miyuki has expressed this to her mom. And so to have an audience laugh about your kid's strange little crush on a boy who's not real, to know she probably didn't want people to know about the trip tidbit...poor woman is probably unsure on how to react to such a situation, lol.

Ikuyo's lips aren't smiling anymore, they're down and her hands are somewhat curled in, almost as if she's readying herself to hide behind them.

It's possible Hiroshi's obvious amusement from all this might be the cause for why she's flustered, considering he's just laughing at everything without worry of it being, "awkward" or whatever. I assume as much, anyway.

However, the true reason I believe she's reacting this way, is the fact that Ikuyo sees much of herself in Miyuki. In this specific instance. I think the initial shyness Miyuki held as a child to the nerves she has presently, along with her clumsy nature and affection towards characters; all stems from her mom! Sure, the anime gives no indication of this, I am speculating based on the little details in this episode and just pure imaginings.

Even so, why make it so that Ikuyo has such a face as the skit goes on? Her daughter's behavior might be reminding her of how she behaved as a child, or teenager, and now that behavior is replicated in her daughter, being witnessed on stage. It makes for fun comedy sure, but dang, if I'm right, Ikuyo was be cringing internally. Could it be that her husband laughing so freely is also due to the fact that he's reminiscing of days long past, when he might his wife and dealt with all these aspects of herself? Wouldn't that be cute?

Whether or not I'm digging into this way too much, I think it's a sweet headcanon that Miyuki resembles her mother in many ways.

Thanks for reading, lol.

Cure Peace's close up look! (I only used four colors when making this.)

So, this show came on TV here and I watched it...I kind of disliked the fact the dubbers in here apparently got super lazy/or thought you can't have English magical girl names (nor Japanese) with the show's heroines (despite the fact all the attacks they use are still spoken in English), so here her name is 'Glitter Yellow'. Like god, creative much? Dx
