There are too many ships for me to put in so I'm making a 2nd part so that's why not all of the yes 5 ships are in this. I want to note I'm pretty early into Yes 5 so I don't know all ships that are shown in the series so I might not know all of them I also wanted to note. When the 2nd poll comes out and a week passed by for both whichever ships wins both of the polls will go against each other as a finale

Yes! Precure 5 Gogo! Episode Guide

In case you want to watch Otona Precure but completely forgot what happened in the Yes! 5 series, here's a refresher on the eps that are actually important. Season 1's list has also been updated.

Plot is bolded. Recommended filler (character development oriented) is italicized. Skippable episodes grouped in block quote. For insight into how I decided what was what, look at the read more.

1 — Start

2 — So what even is going on, anyway?

3 — Syrup & Mailpo (+Komachi highlights, Emerald Saucer)

4 — Urara’s audition pt 1... +1 Monarch, get! (+ Syrup focus, Prism Chain)

7 — Visit to Palmier Kingdom (Milk focus; Nozo x Coco, Koma/Nuts bait) Main thing that’s important (blue seed) is flashbacked to later.

31 — New powerup for Milky Rose (Kurumi & Nuts focus)

32 — Ant-sized Precure  33 — A friend's curry shop needs to curry favor with the public! (Urara focus)

42 — Goodbye Evil Granny (Komachi focus)

43 — A visit from the Director (Nozomi focus)

44 — The Precure act as Santa (Syrup focus) The fight with the henchman is basically all that’s relevant, since it alerts him to the existence of a letter

45-48 — Finale

Long explanation of methodology below:

When I make these guides, I generally aim for the least amount of required episodes to follow major developments. If an important fact is introduced in one episode and then is flashed back to in a subsequent episode, I'll just mark the second as plot instead of the first because the necessary information is repeated. As such, I may mark the introduction (and sometimes death) of a villain as non plot if they don't actually introduce any new mechanic or real threat and are just showing that they exist or don't exist anymore. This is also because most villains in Precure don't actually get a development arc.

In this season, plot refers to Syrup's storyline, the rose garden, and any new major Precure powers. I also bothered to mark villain defeats for this one since they seemed to be trying a little more than normal to show us villain relations (primarily in Anacondy's cruel desperation). And the ones that had nothing to do with anyone's character development got vaporized in new powerups which would have been marked as plot anyway.

As for the monarchs, well. They're technically plot since they need 4 of them to open the road to the rose garden, but they also don't add much to the show in terms of character development (besides the first one, Donut King). At some point when it feels like a "gotta catch 'em all" situation like in S1, I really didn't feel like people would be missing out on much by not seeing all their introduction episodes.

Recommended filler indicates one or more of the following:

There is some form of character exploration here, whether that's development, talking about their past, or showcasing a new relationship dynamic between multiple characters. Basically, if I feel like it's somewhat new to them and not just reaffirming the status quo at the end of it, I mark it as recommended.

They get some small new attack that didn't have a ton of buildup to it. (If it really feels like it's pulled out of nowhere I may just mark it as filler, though that didn't happen in this season.)

The episode is particularly comedic (these are always marked in case you still want to skip them.)

The episode is strangely well directed and yet it isn't a plot episode, or it generally stands out in setup

They had some plot information that is sort of repeated in the future but not completely flashed back to. In which case it's a gray area and I just threw it in here and probably left a note.

And filler is everything else. Maybe it's really boring or annoying to watch, maybe it's just an okay episode that would be enjoyable for someone who isn't looking for much character development. Maybe it's a character learning the same lesson over again and was marked as filler for repetition. You can always watch the previews from previous episodes to see if the content piques your interest.

OtonaPre comes out in like less than a week now, and there are so many questions still yet unanswered that have been on my mind

Is this going to be simulcasted by Crunchyroll? Crunchyroll has already started posting their Fall 2023 anime schedule, and OtonaPre is not on the list. Maybe it's a last minute reveal though, some of the recent PreCure seasons have cut it close with being revealed before simulcasting. In a way, I can understand because the three seasons represented in this anime so far, are mostly unavailable to watch legally outside of Japan, and it would be a little weird to stream the adult sequel anime without the prior requisite material. Granted, they could license Splash Star, Yes5, and Yes5GoGo, but I doubt it would happen all at once, especially this close to the airing date. Either way, I'm sure this will get fansubbed if it's not officially picked up.

Are Nagisa and Honoka (and Hikari) showing up in this anime? Since both the Yes5 and Splash Star girls are here, it seems like the logical conclusion is that the original Allstars team (comprising the first five seasons of PreCure) will be the main cast. Maybe some other seasons' girls will be shown, but probably as cameos like in the Allstars movies. (cont.)

(cont.) So a couple days ago, the PreCure 20th anniversary Twitter started posting countdowns to the premiere of OtonaPre, starting from the 8th day. 8 days for each of the 8 women shown off so far, the 6 women from Yes5, and the 2 from Splash Star. Now that we have less than a week to go, it seems like there are no more big reveals, so either Nagisa and Honoka are secret reveals once the anime starts airing, or they're not showing up at all?

On that note, what about the men from Yes5, Coco, Nuts, and Syrup? If Milk is on Earth and seemingly has a job, it's probably likely they'll appear as well. As an adult-oriented sequel, they'll probably (and unfortunately) play more into the romance aspect they brushed on in the main anime, with Nozomi x Coco, Komachi x Nuts, and Urara x Syrup. That's why I felt it's a bit odd that they're also hiding their cards with regards to their reveals. (cont.)

(cont.) In the trailer, there's a shot of a photo from when the women were still teenagers, and one photo has Nuts and Syrup in the background. I find it a little peculiar that Coco is left out, as if the intent is to play up the "big reveal" and main romance (🤮) later down the line.

Is this anime going to be solely slice of life, or will it also have the women transform into Pretty Cure again? The trailer teases a villain, so maybe they will fight again. Something similar happened in the Smile PreCure light novel, from what I read of vague descriptions.

[shinysparklesapphires]

Karen x milk and urara x syrup are the only valid canon yes5 ships bc they're the same age except for Karen and milk bc its like a 1 year age gap and milk isn't Karen's teacher or vice versa

[curecraft]

I’ve noticed that for most seasons there’s a general consensus on which ship is the most popular, but it seems to be a mixed bag on which yes 5 ship is best. I picked the most popular ships that aren’t weird for this one

[harufallinwonderland]

(Long post of me just talking bout ships I like nothing discourse related and no Nozococo and Komanutts ) OK LIKE WHY DOES YES 5 HAVE MANY GOOD SHIPS (I will NOT be including Coco or Nuts in this besides with each other cause while there ages are not confirmed COCO was A TEACHER so he is banned from the girls)

Ok low key why does Yes 5 have like ALOT of good ships ESPECIALLY NOZOMI (also note I ship some more than others but they are ships I’m just not that invested in so they won’t be here the ships here are ones I at least like)

Nozomi x Rin:

Childhood friends to lovers what else need I say they motivate each other and Rin became A cure just because she was worried for Nozomi they help each other improve and in Otona they are seen still constantly hanging out with each other always looking out for each other and understand each other more than everyone else it’s adorable.

Nozomi x Urara:

“Is there someone you like Urara?”

“Well no..But there someone I admire, Nozomi”

And that was Urara’s coming out scene (/J) being for real to me especially in the original yes 5 it seemed like Urara had ALOT of faith in Nozomi from whenever she does some dumb shit Rin is normally like “what did she do this time?” Urara always believes in Nozomi and tends to root for her alot of the time when everyone else (mostly Rin,Karen and Milk) gave up on her and left her to her stupidness (plus it’s adorable to see them share 1 braincell…and then proceed to give it to Rin)

Nozomi x Karen:

The way that Nozomi was the one who was Able to make Karen fully open up to others besides her best friend (BEFORE SAID BEST FRIEND) and shown to have A great understanding of her because of how similar she is to Rin to the point she trusts her as much as Rin and the sheer difference of Karen at the start of the show denouncing Nozomi to being one of the first to be like “NOZOMI IS AMAZING” in the speeches I feel like it’s understated the effect she had on Karen.

Nozomi x Milk/Kurumi:

ENEMIES TO LOVERS (and the same age) they definitely had a lot of development of them just getting closer having whole episodes just to the two and how even when Milk was mean Nozomi still hyper focused to save her when in danger and it was clear (to me) after A while it was just friendly bickering between the two they the cuties

Nozomi x Syrup:

Honestly I’m kinda mixed on this ship cause part of me sees them as siblings than another part of me just love there dynamic and how Syrup is growing to be super close to Nozomi and tends to be paired with her to the point I am at in Gogo that honestly I find that he is closer to Nozomi than Urara and that you can just smell how Nozomi is affecting him and how he is just naturally close to her.

Now that we are done with the Nozomi ships that I like to love we have Karen x Milk:

bro the way that Milk sticks to Karen since the beach episode BRO like besides the Milk being sick scene it’s just the way that Milk is attached to Karen by the hip and the minor things that get me and how if something is wrong with Milk Karen tends to act ever before coco and nutts and Milk doing the same with Karen it’s adorable.

Karen x Komachi:

The way there always paired together when not around there fairies is adorable,the cake sharing moment in the gogo movie and how they were each other main emotional support anchor before they became precure and how we get glimpse into how they truly are when the team wasn’t that close and how they were so important for each other to get there upgrades in the original yes 5

Karen x Rin:

RIVALS TO LOVERS the way the show well shows again and again how alike they are and how they not only motivation for them to try harder to beat the other but makes it easier for them to talk about there issues with each other and how when they work together they are strong with unmatched determination to become better people and protect the ones they hold dear underrated ship (and there ship name is Karin and I love ship names that are just one character’s name spelt differently)

Coco x Nutts:

like bro you two both kings of the same kingdom? Kinda gay bro! Being for real there just A obvious of them liking each other and how despite them both being weak in the grand scheme of things go to protect the other without hesitation and they always know what to say to the other to cheer them up when down or help the other solve there problems and how together they make one whole king BRO.

[untitledkomachi]

I get it, but I will never understand the popularity of Urara x Syrup

[venus-says]

Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo Episodes 13-24

Forget about everything, this is an Urara fan account now.

Part 2 of the GoGo reviews, reaching the mid-point of the season. And I honestly don't know where to start?

Like, I'm still enjoying the season and they had some pretty good episodes in this portion I'm covering now, but different from the beginning where it seemed like there was a pretty good and coherent 12-episodes arc happening, it didn't feel like we had this progression in here. Which it doesn't necessarily hurt the series, it just hurts me because I don't know how to tackle this post since there's not much of a linear thing going on. XD Probably the only linear thing going on is the mystery about Syrup's past and how we have his arc developing, and that is pretty good, don't get me wrong, but if I would write a post based on that I would be talking about only 4 or 5 episodes out of 12. XD

When thinking about these episodes we can kinda separate them into four groups, we have four fairy tale episodes, six episodes focused for each one of the main girls, two episodes for the bigger picture, and one episode that is completely disconnected from everything and it's definitely the low point of this section and of the season so far.

Going on first at the stand-alone episode, Episode 17. The reason why I don't like this episode it's because it's one of those episodes where a famous comedian does a cameo on the show, and I honestly don't know who thought it was a good idea to make these a thing. These cameos should be just cameos, not an entire episode focused on this comedian, who most definitely isn't what the targeted audience consumes or wants to consume, so there's not an actual reason to put them there for more than a couple of scenes in the first place. Not even to mention how awkward it is having them trying to dub their characters, at least for the guy in this episode if felt like he was not comfortable at all while saying his lines, it was just a pretty bad experience.

But moving on, at the beginning of this second act, a new general of Eternal is introduced and thanks to her we have a series of episodes that watching them from the future seems like were ideas of episodes for Smile Precure. XD And I really like the addition of Shibiretta and her powers of creating these pocket dimensions or so based on fairy tales and storybooks because it helps to break a little of the usual stuff we would see happening just in their city and it's a pretty decent change of pace, I also like how she works by dividing the team because we can see more of their dynamics like this and it's all just very fun.

Like, my favorite episode of these is the episode focused on Komachi and Karen where they're brought in to the world of Hansel and Gretel with Nozomi and they end up captured in the candy house, but together Karen and Komachi get to trick Shibiretta into leaving them alone which gives Nozomi the chance of getting to the house and helping them escape, and it's just so clever and so fun at the same time, is amazing. I also love the creative ways in which they used Emerald Saucer and Sapphire Arrow in the episode, I feel like precure doesn't do that enough with attacks that have a stock footage for them so whenever that happens it always makes me very happy. And speaking of creative powers, can we talk about how versatile Mint is? Like, she's a defensive cure on her core, but in this season we've seen her attacking, defending, and giving support with her attack that is technically just a green circle thing, it's so amazing and it proves that defensive cures can work outside just creating barriers and we need more cures like her.

The character-focused episodes were a bit of a hit or miss, Urara had an excellent episode but the other girls didn't have the same luck. Nozomi's episode where she tutors Rin's siblings was pretty good and marked a very important step for her considering her dream of becoming a teacher, and it was very sweet in a lot of moments, but they added stuff in there with Syrup and Coco that didn't feel like it belonged in that episode and thus brings it down a little. Rin is kinda funny and tragic at the same time because she's the only one to get two episodes, but since them are so focused on her friendship with Nozomi and since Nozomi has such a huge presence both episodes end up being more about Nozomi than Rin so we still don't get a lot of her. Komachi's episode was cute but also a bit forgettable because I feel like they didn't use to the fullest the concept of her being concerned for her sister's future. Karen's episode also suffers from this, I feel like since they shared her episode with the Urashima Taro tale her conflict of not being able to tell her parents about her plans for the future ends up being put in the back and the episode loses itself on that a little bit. And Kurumi's episode fails because it's supposed to be the episode where her identity is revealed, but since it was pretty obvious that Kurumi is Milk the episode doesn't work in the way they thought it should.

As I mentioned Urara's episode is the only one to stand out here. First, because of the technical parts, the composition of the scenes, the use of colors and lighting, it's all very beautiful, and while the drawings and the animation aren't perfect all the time, they invested where they should and all keen scenes are a delight to the eyes. I also really like the plot of the episode, this episode is for both Urara and Syrup, but different from the episodes for Rin and Nozomi, here it feels like a more equal thing, you know? This episode is to show Syrup that affection, support, and caring for people can come in different ways, not just the obvious ones, just as much as this episode is to show how Urara's dream is hard for her to achieve but because it's so important to her she holds to it and she gains strength for keep pushing forward in order to reach it. Also putting this one in conjunction with episode 4 we can see they're drawing a relationship between Syrup and Urara, I don't know how much the show wants it to be romantic because we didn't have much about it yet, but if they want to go this route I feel like it's a pairing that I can buy, both because they seem to regulate in age and they also had this thing being developed slowly, different from Coco X Nozomi and Nuts x Komachi. Also Urara's song this time around is way better than her old song.

Now for the big picture, the things of the major plot. While we had only two episodes dedicate to moving this plot forward (23 and 24) we had small bits of this happening here and there. To begin in episode 13 we have established that Syrup is not native from the Palmier Kingdom and he has no memories of his life before getting there, which becomes important for the plot of episodes 23 and 24 to happen. Then in episode 14 King Doughnuts suddenly isn't bound to the pact anymore, he goes back to his kingdom, and in the next episode we're greeted with the next monarch, Queen Bavarois, who's more or less just used as a joke but that finally gave the girls the ability to use their phone-like transformation devices as a communication tool in episode 19. The final things to appear before episodes 23 and 24 is Syrup's quarrel with Coco and the crown of the Palmier Kingdom appearing out of nowhere to them.

And it's in that last part where most of my problems of this part reside, because while Syrup was always bickering Coco it was never so aggressive, so mean spirited as it happened in episode 22 and it felt out of place there. I think they missed putting the thing that flipped the switch and make Syrup really angry at Coco and with how he was acting so it would make the anger feel justifiable and would make the events of episodes 23 and 24 have more impact.

And speaking of those two episodes, while they were a pretty good climax for the mid of the season it also felt like some of the things that happened there shouldn't have happened at this moment but in the climax for the end of the season instead. More specifically Syrup and Coco meeting the Director and out of this encounter we getting a resolution for Coco and Syrup's relationship, a hint that Syrup has a relation with the Director and a hint that the Director and Flora also have a thing. Maybe not for Coco and Syrup, but it felt like it was too early to drop the hints, if not too early I think it got shoved way into our faces. Like, the big bad guy who's supposed to be very powerful just let Coco and Syrup go because he was shocked when he listened to Flora's name, it's already weird that the dude didn't move a finger when Syrup gets into the room with the Rose Pact on hand, then he flinches with the mention of Flora and then afterward we have a scene of him thinking of her making it obvious that there's more here, it wasn't a flinch that could pass as if it was nothing as if it was a case of "he hates her" or "his nemesis was mentioned", the way they presented it made it look very obvious that there was a previous relationship here, and if that's the case I feel like it would be more beneficial if we had this information closer to the final episodes. But we still have half of the season to go so maybe they'll work that on in a longer way for the next episodes.

My final problem with this whole thing is just how useless they made Nuts be, like he was left behind in the human world when everyone else was sent to Eternal, and at the end Coco summons the power of the crown by himself and it's framed like he's being crowned as the one and only king. It feels like Nuts was downgraded to one of the Monarchs that transformed themselves into Palmins because at this point that's how much relevant he has been, heck at this time his screen time is probably just as big as Doughnut and Bavarois, it's ridiculous. Not to mention that there's only one crown and we should technically have two kings, but they mentioned the crown was lost when the kingdom was first attacked so that's at least justifiable, but it shows just how they don't care for him at all and makes me question why is he still here, like if he's not gonna do anything here at least send him back to the Palmier Kingdom, you know?

But in any case, with the power of the crown, the cures got new weapons and a new group attack, AND I LOVE THEM. I LOOOOOOVEthe fleurets, it's one of my favorite precure weapons ever, I love their design, it's pretty much a lightsaber but gay and I love everything about it, and I also think it's pretty cool how the names of each Fleuret reflects their attacks from season one. And while the CGI roses they use are a bit odd, I love how in the attack they look like knights' stances, I know they're not really knights but there's something very Three Musketeers going on in the imagery, like if they were a royal guard of sorts, which it's pretty cool considering this power-up came from the crown of a king so it has this extra special feeling.

And that pretty much does it for now, GoGo has been a very strong and very consistent season so far, I'm loving talking about it, no joke, this is one of the few instances where I sit down to write and everything just flows naturally, it's being a joy not just to watch but also to write about it. But these are just my feelings, let me know what you think of these episodes in specific or your feelings about GoGo in general, I'll love to read them. Stay healthy, stay safe, never stop resisting, thank you so so much for reading, and until the next time. See-ya, everyone~

[kittyomi]

Tbh the only hetro pairing I actually tolerate in the whole Precure series is Syrup x Urara.

I hate the rest of the hetero pairings.

Yeah I mainly ship yuri in that series.
