Wonderful looks so good

[rknchan]

smh i don't see anyone posting leaks of other cures on this image other than cure wonderful

[megamanofnumbers]

"The new Wonderful Precure series looks like it'll be so immature and childish!"

Really? Oh thank god. Maybe there's hope for the franchise after all!

[puppy-pill]

the silhouettes of the Wonderful Precure teams were revealed!

[cure-rosie]

I still can't get over Cure Nyammy.... who thought that was a good idea....

Someone please redeem this name for me. What's the good points

[almond-tofu-chan]

oh hey i should probably actually post the actual cure thumpy render i made lol

since all the cures are vaguely alice in wonderland themed, i decided to theme her after the white rabbit, since she is a rabbit. ik, groundbreaking stuff, toei should hire me

i really leaned heavily into the watch theme and made her red because her eyes are kinda red idk i want a red cure. plus her bow is orange because cure satoru, PLEASE toei i would die

anyway it only managed to fool like one guy but i will forever be proud of that lmao

[1800ruvibing]

okay i feel like i'm alone on this. warning for 2024's pretty cure/precure series leaks! including pictures!!!!!! read at your own risk!!!!!

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO A READ MORE SO DONT READ MORE IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS, ANON.

i cannot find it in me to believe these leaks are real.

1. cure friendy??? friendly maybe. but friendy? (it could be a typo/mistranslation. this is a lesser issue in my mind)

2. cure wonderful and cure lillian (?) look far too much like delicious party. like the resemblance in my eyes is uncanny. they look almost like beta designs. if these are real i personally believe it'll be the worst case of cut-and-paste in precure history

i'm unsure, and i'm taking these leaks with a grain of salt bc of how early they are. but hirogaru is soooo good i'm really excited for next year's season and if this is what it is.... idk guys

we have (supposed) character designs for wonderful precure!!! images below the cut :)

the cures are named cure wonderful (pink), cure friendy (purple), cure nyammy (blue/white), and cure lillian (green/blue)! keep in mind we currently have no confirmation of if these are real.

I don't see anybody talking about this leak? I mean probably it's fake and we've got the (most likely) real one already

[springtime-creations]

Longwinded over-explanation as to why I DON'T think these Wanderful PreCure leaks are real or at the very least not be taken as 100% accurate if they are real.

POTENTIAL SPOILER FOR WANDERFUL PRECURE AHEAD!

As someone who's been into PreCure for almost a decade, and has been studying art in an informal setting (self taught artist go brrr) I've noticed some issues with these leaks.

First is obviously the names. Never in the entire history of PreCure have we had a cure whose name lines up with the title. No Cure Smile in Smile, no Cure Suite in Suite, no Cure Fresh in Fresh- you get my point. Cure Wonderful is a highly suspect name, however could still be real as PreCure is always experimenting. Cure Friendy on the other hand is WAY more egregious. Friendy isn't a word, and PreCure isn't known for making mistakes that bad. But it could have either slipped through the cracks OR as these photos look like prototypes that were meant to be destroyed, it's possible Friendy is a typo and she's meant to be Cure Friend, Cure Friendly, or an idea my phone gave me via autocorrect Cure Trendy. Any of which could fit my theorized theme of dog styling or the latter to with a blanket theme of dogs. But they could also be placeholder names. Fake names used to differentiate the characters before they're ready to start publishing their real names.

Secondly is the design. Although I'm not classically trained (see above for self taught artist go brrr) I have a good grasp on art fundamentals via independent study. I was wondering why the designs looked so off to me, and outside of it looking like it was traced off of Aikatsu, I realized that these silhouettes SUCK. Having a strong silhouette is an important aspect of making an identifiable cartoon character. Case and point, a few previous seasons compared with these leaks:

(Pardon the rough nature of the silhouettes, I had to make my own on my phone) without the details, I have no idea what I'm looking at with these designs. With previous seasons, the silhouettes themselves gave us an idea of the vibes or even themes for the upcoming season. Here though? I mean my crappy silhouette of Cure Wonderful made her pigtails look like a cat sitting on her head when I asked my boyfriend for input. These silhouettes are incredibly weak with their long hair basically ruining their design by hiding their dresses. Fun fact! These are the same issues I had with Colgate-chan- oh sorry Alear from Fire Emblem Engage that made me think those were fake too. The minor details were the only thing that separated them from other characters since their silhouette was awful.

Now weak silhouettes aren't always a crime against art, however for a piece of media that is meant to sell toys, is in animation, and for children? Yeah no you need a strong silhouette for the audience to easily identify. The only reason such a weak silhouette would work in PreCure is because no other Cure has one this bland. You can tell which PreCure is Cure Wonderful because "oh that's the least fun looking one". Since her charm comes from the details you can't see when it's just her silhouette, that means that although they're all still cute, they could have been MUCH cuter, which Toei is typically really good at.

So in conclusion, are these definitely fake? I'm not sure. Given these products were probably taken home without permission from the manufacturer, it's possible these leaks are one of three things.

1. An INCREDIBLY well done fake leak, potentially by Toei themselves since they do that sometimes.

2. Real prototypes made with VERY early drafts of the characters and placeholder names that were intended to be destroyed once the designs/names got updated.

3. This is the real deal and this is going to be a fairly weak season in terms of aesthetic.

I'm personally leaning towards 1 or 2 since PreCure usually has higher standards of production. But hey, this is just my theory regarding these leaks. I know one of my girlfriends loves Cure Friendy, and I'm always here for more green rep in PreCure. I'm still excited for this season even if the aesthetic might be a bit weak. If there's anything I've learnt from PreCure, it's that even the most casual of seasons can get real dark real quick and somehow still work. Didn't Cure Grace literally leave someone to die... idk I haven't been able to watch a full PreCure season since like Go! Princess first came out 😭 fuck I'm getting old-

Wonderful Precure!

I will be honest, I wasn't sure how this season would be. And I didn't like the designs when it first got leaked. Especially because Cure Lilian and Nyammy's colors looked so weird at first glance.

But I'm 3 episodes in and I LOVE IT SO MUCH! Lead cure being a puppy, Komugi and Iroha's strong bond, them being an amazing duo, lots of cute animals aaand...

MID-SEASON BOY CURE(S).

Satoru and Daifuku will most likely appear as a mid-season duo, because this season allows pets to become cures with their owners. Satoru will be orange while Daifuku will be white, black or maybe a combination of both colors. I can easily see him as a silent and cool type.

And I really like how sweet and supportive Satoru is. We need more characters like him in animes.

I will check leaks regularly to see their cure designs. I hope both of them will look amazing!
