#rabbit gang

[mozillavulpix]

every piece of joy I got from this minute of anime

Satoru is lamenting how he wish he could do something to help and it's in that moment of vulnerability that Daifuku appears to him. Feels like it's happening because Satoru has a desire to do something and not just because it's an obligation

"I know my wish. I knew from the day we met." he's so goddamn cool

They didn't get Bank, but the sequence was probably just as cool; spinning around, flashy effects, happening in real-time. I didn't expect them to go that hard with it. It was actually animated!

Also it was Yuu Yoshiyama, so there were at least two easter egg impact frames - one where Daifuku's hand turns back into a rabbit paw and one where the background is filled with orange sparkles in the shape of rabbits

Satoru does the Usual post-transformation pose of staring at his appearance all shocked, while Daifuku just has his hand on his hip, like he' saying "pretty cool, huh?"

Daifuku just grabs Satoru's hand and takes him, which gets Satoru all surprised

As they jump in the air, Satoru's screams turn into laughter as he realises how cool this is

Their attack is just making a giant Daifuku, which is the perfect silly kind of attack for this type of series. In the movie it was like a barrier to enclose the enemy, but here they just launch it at them to make a hole to Subaru

Daifuku says the "leave it to us (me)!" line

Pretty good summary.

I don't know if anyone in the (English) fanbase has thought about the secret cursed scenario:

Daifuku and Satoru become Precure and do have their own transformation item, but...it's only sold on a pre-order basis via Premium Bandai.

Cause I'm pretty sure Kamen Rider does that sometimes

That way they don't need to worry about not having enough time to advertise the thing, because they're only selling it to hardcore otaku who have free time to order these things as soon as they become available.

They did that with the Cure Wing kids costume, too.

(Also god if Yuu Yoshiyama didn't animate anything of Daifuku that is the cruelest tease ever)

Okay here are my last ditch efforts at copium for satodai before tomorrow's episode ruins my life

Not only is there a big gap in the transformation, the characters are positioned in the same way as their pacts are in the OP, possibly room for one/two more (or a shared item...?) (counterpoint: extremely unlikely because it's so late in the year to add another item)

Yoshiyama Yuu, animator for some fight scenes in previous precure seasons and the animator of Cure Flamingo and Cure Butterfly's transformations, posted a few tweets referencing Daifuku, transformation bank, and how "she shouldn't work on anymore senpai(characters)" after this

Again this stupid ribbon in the middle of the pact not glowing when it's obviously yellow is annoying me. I'm posting it again.

Satoru and Daifuku make pretty prominent appearances in the 2025 calendar illustrations, and while there are no cure forms for them, Cure Muse didn't make it into the suite precure calendar either. She only appears in her disguised form and her civilian form as Ako.

I think the next episode (36) is the last chance Satoru or Daifuku have at joining the team honestly while still having the pacing make sense... Satoru or Daifuku would then beat Cure Muse for the latest cure debut.

Counterpoint to above: Takumi/Black Pepper also appeared prominently in the delicious party calendar, and he was just a supporter character, so it's possible it doesnt mean anything.

Oh these two would definitely be on the naughty list for sure..

Okay, the Six Sparkles Theory

aka: the best theory so far that Satoru and Daifuku are Precure and will transform in the TV show

disclaimer: i am not an expert. i'm just someone with a lot of copium and the ability to search twitter. i don't even speak japanese.

The original source:

(this account posts a lot of theorycrafting like this)

You can translate some of that if you want, but the strongest part of this whole little essay to me is this

After the final transformation pose, a big ribbon appears and then splits into six little sparkles

That by itself doesn't necessarily mean "there'll be six Precure", but there's a few things that support it.

First is that there's a weird amount of empty space in the scene of them all holding hands before doing this pose where you could easily fit one or two more people joining in.

The second is the symbols that appear themselves: two paw prints, two ribbons, what looks like a five-petalled flower and a circle.

It seems like a random group of symbols that have nothing to do with each other, but it actually lines up perfectly with the four members and even the rabbit boys from what we saw of them in the movie.

Basically the symbols correspond to what their 'shield' attacks look like.

Wonderful and Nyammy have paw-prints, Friendy has a ribbon, and Lilian has a 'net' that looks like a five-petalled flower.

Which leaves one ribbon and the circle left. But does it correspond to them? From what's shown in the movie, yes.

According to Japanese fans who have watched the movie like 6 times (if this really does happen, I think the otaku deserve a lot of credit for funding this movie lmao), Daifuku and Satoru's attack looks a bit like this

The idea I guess being that it's like a combination of what Daifuku and Satoru's normal 'shield' attacks would be. Which isn't that weird, they've done combination attacks in the TV show like that too.

But basically it's saying Satoru's shield would be ribbon-shaped, like his girlllfriendddd

and Daifuku's I don't know, it's all 'wrapped up' so it's hard to tell what shape it would be if it's used as a straight shield, but maybe it's a circle like a full moon and moon rabbits and that symbolism. It's very clearly a closed shape at least.

also daifuku wouldn't have a paw shield like Wonderful and Nyammy because

thanks for the animal facts, satoru

so yeah

we put that together and at the very least, the group pose has room for satoru and daifuku. And it fits with what was very briefly seen of them in the movie.

so that's why i've still got hope

Friends don’t let friends die trying to live up to the family legacy over and over.

The sound I used is from this wonderful garfield edit that tiktok did not let me slap onto my vid when i uploaded it so it ain’t in the list of vids that used the sound and I will perish sweetly
