Tropical Rouge Precure Ep 18 Review: Maybe Laura has a weakness...

Hi, Everyone! This is my short review of Tropical Rouge Precure Episode 18 and after watching this episode, I have some thoughts of Laura now being a human...

Even though Laura is able to attend school and was literally blowing her own horn during her introduction, she still cannot handle some things like various school subjects, sitting on her knees for too long and the worst thing she can't swim with human feet!

What Beautiful Grace...

Epic Fail!

Although Laura is able to switch from Human to Mermaid at any time, I have a theory about this. What if the more Laura used her power or remain as a human for long extend of time, she is unable to turn back to a Mermaid permentaly which is the price of becoming human for her. 

It might sound harsh but then if you recall what Minori told Laura in Episode 16, the Little Mermaid gave up her voice to become a human so what if Laura's choice to become a Precure/Human was that she will lose her identity as a Mermaid and unable to return back to her kingdom. That will mean Cure Le-Mer is not permanent which led to Laura a conflict of whether she chooses to be a human and her dream of becoming the Queen of her kingdom.

That's my thought for this episode and in the next episode, the girls go to a rumoured haunted house and Manatsu couldn't handle ghosts and spirits! Until then, stay safe and see you in the next post!

 

Tropical Rouge Precure Ep 17 Review: Laura's Quest Part 2

Hi, Everyone! This is my review of Tropical Rouge Precure Episode 17 and will Laura able to escape from the Witch of Delays to save her friends?

The Witch of Delays offered Laura a chance to be human as long she does not interfere with their plan to steal the motivational energies from humans. However, Laura refused and she was thrown into a jail cell where Kururu is also there. (How did the little seal get there?) The Witch of Delays is pouring the stolen motivational energies into a large fruit item and claimed it is still not enough for their plan. 

Chongire and Numeri created two Zen Zen Yaranade from a cruise liner and the girls tried to stop them. Kururu was spotted by Elda who was playing house (Yeah, she is still a kid!) and Elda took her back to the jail cell. Laura ambushed her and they escaped. Laura tried to get back the Aqua pot but the Witch of Delays caught her. 

She managed to escape out of the castle with the Aqua Pot but Bulter chased after her. Laura was knocked out by Bulter and she fell into a quarry presuming to be dead. However, Kururu rescued her and brought her back to their kingdom where the Queen was present.

Laura admitted that she wants to help her friends now even though she has fulfilled her duties of finding the Precures. The Queen then gave her a fossil item and told her it will aid her in time. Meanwhile, the girls were struggling against the Yaranade and were knocked out eventually. Laura saved Manatsu from drowning and her feelings reacted to the fossil item which transforms her into Cure La Mer!

Together with the other girls, they transformed again and defeated both Yaranade. After the battle, the girls discovered that Laura has human legs and is rejoined by her feelings. Laura also enrolled at Manatsu's school and stayed at the dorm near the Aquarium centre...

So Laura joined the team as Cure La Mer! It was expected. But I was surprised that it didn't come with any condition for Laura like a time-limited transformation. Although the path to getting her new power was pretty simple as all she has to do is just ask the Queen and she gave it to her but at least it wasn't some BS where the item appeared out of nowhere. 

But then, I was a bit disappointed that the Witch of Delays was kinda slow (literally) in forcing Laura into giving in and she even let Laura wait in a jail cell to let her pounder it. However, we do know the villains' plan of conquering the world is using the stolen motivation energies into a large item that will probably be the villains' endgame. 

Cure La Mer's debut is okay since she fulfilled the Blue Precure slot in the team. Her finisher- Kurukuru Lamer Stream is basically Hydro Pump from Blastoise although her victory pose is the cheerleader split! 

So with Cure La Mer's debut and a new ending song now, what is going to happen next? Is it going to be more slice of life episodes or are we heading straight into the main plot soon? I am actually worried this season might be short and after sixth ranger appearances, there is not much other than a new power-up and the finale. Unless something interesting like an anti-Precure character appears or a change in the status quo, I am really worried about this season.

But for now, Laura joined as a student in the school and enrolled in the swimming club. Will she be making waves in her new club? Until then, stay safe and see you in the next post! 

Tropical Rouge Precure Ep 16 Review: Laura's Quest Part 1

Hi, Everyone! This is my Short review of Tropical Rouge Precure Episode 16 and it is the first of a two-parter and Laura is the main focus! 

I have been watching the last few episodes and we can see especially from the last two episodes that Laura has a secret desire to enjoy together with Manatsu as a human however she was conflicted if that is what she wants. 

The girls' Manicure might be the key to next week's episode...

Laura also started to read the Little Mermaid story and learn of the tragedy of the mermaid who loses her voice to become a human. Although she claimed it was foolish for the mermaid to sacrifice her voice, Minori's words gave Laura some thoughts that you have to sacrifice something in order to get something in return. 

True enough, when the girls are battling the Zenzen Yaranade by Chongire, he set a trap to have hundreds of similar bottles to confuse Laura and trapped her in a net. He then carried her off to see the Witch of Delays! 

The girls later learned from Minori about Laura might secretly wanting to become a human. They then decided to rescue her. Thanks to Laura creating bubble trails in the ocean, the girls transformed and follow the trail to the Witch's lair.

Meanwhile, the Witch of Delays offered Laura the chance to become human if she helps to defeat the Precures...but that's not going to happen in the next episode since we are spoiled in the next episode preview which Laura overcome her conflict and become Cure La-Mer. 

Of course, I might have a twisted idea that the Witch of Delays actually gave Laura her powers and go against Team Tropical Rouge. From the way that it is only episode 16 which is not even half a season, I am suspecting there is more than Laura joining the team which is too early for a sixth ranger to join. (Usually, Sixth rangers characters join officially around the 20s episodes) If there is nothing after Cure La-Mer's entry, this season isn't going to be interesting either unless the status quo change. 

Let's hope I am wrong and something does happen after Cure La-Mer's debut next week. Until then, stay safe and see you in the next post!
