Star Twinkle Precure Episode 4

They weren’t exaggerating when they described her to be like the Sun. She is that type of person who is able to elevate the mood so that everyone wants to smile. Her beauty, kindness, athleticism, and her cool personality are all the reasons why she is popular.

I like Elena’s character a lot, in fact I adore her. She’s charming, and just as cool as she is portrayed to be, but at the same time I am also hopping we will be able to get some decent character development from her in the future, especially since it looks like there’s plenty of room for it.

For starters, it has been established that Elena puts her family first. Despite her remarkable athletic ability, she has turned down all the club offers so she could get home to take help with her family’s flower shop and her siblings. We also saw how she wouldn’t stick around for Purun to learn more about the Precure’s duties, as she knew she needed to get back home. This makes me wonder a lot about her life outside of her family. Even though she’s popular, does she have a friend or a few? Will she have time to hang out with the girls after school and beyond their precure activities? And despite being committed to her family, does Elena have any regrets of not being able to pursue any of her own interests? It’s these kind of things that makes me wonder more about the depth of her character, and the potential development we may see her undertake in the future.

As for her transformation, I loved it. Although it wasn’t necessarily as fancy as Lala’s, it still had a lot more going on than Hikaru’s. Her finisher attack is also super badass. She litterally roasted them. It did make me think to another Precure’s finisher move… but I can’t remember which series it was, or maybe I’m just mistaken. Oh and did I mention I absolutely love her design? She looks absolutely stunning. As for her voice for the stupid song, I would say her voice was actually better than Lala’s, which is a good thing considering how grating Hikaru’s is.

We were also able to get a glimpse of the enemy’s true overlord, who is currently deep in slumber inside a red crystal. Garuohga is the one who is currently leading the army, and overseeing the efforts of invading planets, along with the mission to obtain Fuwa and the pens’ power, so they could present it to their lord once he awakens.

I was also pleased to see Tenjou actually adapting to having to face off an additional precure. She applied the divide and conquer strategy, which worked extremely well thanks to her adept minions, who were all very close to actually capturing Fuwa, to the point she was crying. (Fuwa’s teary eyes are adorable though…) The fight was quite good considering she used a smoke screen of a sorts to separate the girls from Fuwa, and had the upper hand until Elena arrived. This certainly makes me hopeful that we will see her adapt yet again with a new strategy of how to deal with three precures, but she will quickly have to go back to the drawing board because there will be a fourth precure debuting next week.

That being said, I do find it rather hilarious how nobody appears to have seen the Notraider Aliens yet, despite the likes of Tenjou actually brazenly going out on a walk with her horde of minions by her side.

Madoka, (who will debut as Cure Serene) who known as “The Moon” at school was also introduced today. Unlike her peers, she was quick to notice Lala’s alien characteristics, and catch a flying Fuwa the girls desperately tried to hide. She keeps to be quick on the uptake, but I suppose that’s what to be expected of the Student Council President. That being said, I’m looking forward to getting to know her as well, as it appears she is also a fellow upperclassman.
