No 3: VR Fantasy again!?
Ristel used the same VR device to trap the girls, Saya's mother, Harry and Hug-Tan, Ranze, Dr Maki and Daigan into the VR world and they have to act in character in order to get out of the world.
It was also fun to see Emiru as a little witch spouting out "Cure Up Rapapa" from Maho Tsukai and Ruru as a cat girl saying Mirai's catchphrase. Even Daigan showed up (To everyone's surprise) and tried to protect Saya from a cute dragon which ran over him 3 seconds flat...
No 2: Saya want to be a doctor!
Throughout the episode, Saya was feeling anxious working with her mother Reira and was not giving her all during the scenes with her mother. This annoyed Ranze who also showed up and claimed that Saya is betraying their rivalry.
Later, Saya asked Dr Maki why did she choose to be a obstetrician and she was touched by the birth of life when she is still an intern and choose this career path. Saya finally took the courage and told her mother that this will be the first and last film together as she decided to be a doctor after that.
Ranze was upset about it but Saya explained her reasons which she finally admitted defeat. The two of them finally make peace and agreed to be the best in their field. (Which also change Saya's clothing into a similar get-up as Dr Maki-probably a healer class) Reira didn't express her feelings to Saya and it cause her to become an Oshimaida by Ristle.
No 1: Arigato, Oka-San!
Reira's Oshimaida grabbed Hug-Tan and absorbed her into her body. The girls went to battle and Cure Ange realised her mother is the Oshimaida. She too entered the Oshimaida's body and into Reira's psyche.
Saya thanked her for taking care of her and giving her a chance to express her love for her. The two finally hugged each other and free her from the Oshimaida...
This episode is a more better episode than the previous episode between Saya and Reira. Since Reira is always portrayed as a calm and cool mother but yet to see that Saya has grown up which she finally broke down in her psyche. However being the gentle and understanding daughter, Saya was able to understand her mother's love and thank her for bringing to this world.
It was also no brainier that Saya choose to be a doctor rather than follow the same path as her mother which is too similar to Minami's arc when she choose to be an ocean veterinarian than taking over her family business. The differences was Minami was worried of her family's rejections while Reira was more less expressive towards Saya.
It also gave closure between Ranze and Saya which I felt that Ranze was given too little chance in the series so far unlike Ranko and Kirara which I enjoyed their banter when the two are around.
Other than Daigan who actually thank Saya for trying to save his soul when he was apparently "killed" and her choosing the path she want to go with in her life. The rest of the girls were just goofing around until the battle with the Oshimaida.
After everyone returned to the real world, the girls realised it will be Christmas soon and Hug-Tan summoned Santa Claus from above!? Seeing it is the obligatory Christmas episode next week, we are getting closer and closer to the final episode. Until then, see you in the next post!
Looks like an interesting episode.I mean, Its the second cure that discovers that wants to be a doctor (Karen is the first, thanks to Milk. Not counting Minami because she decides to be veterinarian). I like this kind of discovery because that makes more credible a character.
ReplyDeleteBtw, as I know after the christmas episode we have the arc with the final boss and then Star twinkle precure.
