Synopsis

Nono Hana is a second-year middle school student who aims to become a stylish, mature big sister like figure. When she realizes she is late for her first day of school, she cuts her bangs in a hurry, causing her hair to look like a mess!

However, there’s a nice turn of events when she meets Hugtan and her guardian, Harry, who had fallen from the sky. But suddenly, the Criasu Corporation appears in hopes of stealing Hugtan's Mirai Crystal, so they create a scary monster to attack them!

With the strong desire to protect Hugtan, a new Mirai Crystal appears and transforms Hana into the Pretty Cure of High Spirits, Cure Yell. The Mirai Crystals are a crystallized form of Tomorrow Powerer, the magical power overflowing this world that creates a shining future for everyone. If it’s stolen, everyone’s futures will disappear, including Hugtan’s future.

The story of Cure Yell who should protect important things is about to begin!

Characters

Pretty Cure

  • Nono Hana (野乃はな?) - A middle school student who transferred to class 2-3 of L'Avenir Academy. Hana is short for her age to the point that she looks almost child-like thus dreaming of becoming a stylish and mature big sister figure. Despite being clumsy, she is always up for a challenge. Thanks to her strong desire of protecting Hugtan, Hana becomes the Pretty Cure of High Spirit, Cure Yell (キュアエール?).
  • Yakushiji Saaya (薬師寺さあや?) - The class president of class 2-3 who is as kind as an angel toward anyone. Her mother is an actor and Saaya herself was a famous child actor however now she doesn't know what to do in the future. Owing to her desire to protect Cure Yell and become a stronger person, Saaya transforms into the Pretty Cure of Wisdom, Cure Ange (キュアアンジュ?).
  • Kagayaki Homare (輝木ほまれ?) - A charming and mature girl from Hana's class who loves fashion. Homare is good at everything; furthermore, she used to be a figure skater. However, she stopped skating when she failed to complete a jump thus looking down on the sport until she met Hana and Saaya. When her thoughts of completing the jump help her overcome the weakness, Homare becomes the Pretty Cure of Strength, Cure Étoile (キュアエトワール?).
  • Aisaki Emiru (愛崎えみる?) - A classmate of Kotori's who has looked up to the Pretty Cure ever since she first saw them, and aspires to be a hero like them. She even created her own alter ego, Cure Emiru, to help out others. However, she seems to be a bit overprotective and can overdo things, especially while helping. She then befriends Ruru back when she was still with Criasu and her guitar playing plays a substantial part in Ruru developing emotions. Soon after, when Ruru is purified, the two decide they want to be Pretty Cure together. After Ruru miraculously receives a PreHeart, the two transform and Emiru becomes the Pretty Cure of Love, Cure Macherie (キュアマシェリ?).

Trivia

  • HUGtto! Pretty Cure is the second season where the Cures' voice actresses sing the ending themes, preceded by Mahou Tsukai Pretty Cure!.
  • Much like its predecessor, the beginning of most of the first episodes features Hana introducing herself to the audience before briefly recapping the previous episode. Later episodes would usually open with all five Cures introducing themselves.
  • Some episode titles appear to make a reference to a previous series to commemorate the franchise's 15th anniversary. It was a guideline for crews to do so according to Sato Junichi[2].
  • Most of the Cures in this season have foreign Cure names (mainly French), except Cure Yell and Cure Tomorrow.
  • HUGtto! Pretty Cure is the first season where Cures from a past season make cameo appearances in the show itself, appearing in episodes 21, 22, 36, and 37.
  • HUGtto! Pretty Cure is the first season where the Cures do not change their casual outfits for the summer. However, they wear the summer school uniforms. Much like Kirahoshi Ciel from the previous season, the Cures change their casual outfits to more wintery ones after the end of summer.
  • HUGtto! Pretty Cure is the first, and so far only, season where a duo appears mid-season; Cure Macherie and Cure Amour.

  • HUGtto! Pretty Cure is the first season where a male Cure appears.
  • In the "All Pretty Cure Big Poll", HUGtto! Pretty Cure is ranked 4th in "Favorite Series Productions".
