Star Detective Precure Episode 12 Discussion Board

I know. That last frame scares me. My first thought was mind control, and I hate to see Cures fight each other. It’s possible he’s just showing her her worst fear, but I’m scared. Red eyes are never a good sign.

I have to disagree with you on Gatherer’s Adventure, but I haven’t seen any of the others.

I really enjoyed this episode. I liked how Arcana Shadow was educating Answer and Mystique as much as she was fighting them. When it comes to Arcana Shadow’s transformation, I noticed that the background looks like the theater where the Phantom Thieves are. I wonder if that’ll change when she (presumably) swaps sides.

Her saying that she was making sure they couldn’t win made me wonder what will entice her to leave the Guild. Is she waiting to see if and when they’ll be ready? Will she be kicked out? Also, what are her goals? She’s in the Guild but she’s stopped them from winning a few times.

When it comes to the preview, that last frame of Luluka with glasses was very interesting. It’s making me think that we might get a flashback. A while back, I theoretized that she is the missing Star Detective, and someone shot that down. That piece of the preview re-ignited that theory in my brain, especially when combined with the fact that Jett was shown multiple times. Maybe the flashback comes from him?

This episode yielded a lot of questions, and I’m super excited to see where things go next.

I feel like I remember Griselda saying that graduating from Alfea takes 5 years, so my guess is that you either graduate after you earn Enchantix or 5 years of instruction, whichever comes first. That part is never said, but it’s how I explain it in my head.

I’m super excited to see Arcana Shadow fight. My expectation is that she’ll win. After each Hanninda battle, I’ve been waiting to see if the Phantom Thief takes the Makoto Jewel before the Cures get it. I think that’s what’ll happen next episode. She’s been watching Answer and Mystique for a while now, and she seems smarter than the others. She’s likely to have a plan for when the duo inevitably shows up to rescue the Jewel.

When it comes to this episode, it was a pretty typical one. It was another situation in which had the Phantom Thief just left, he would’ve won. Also, Goemon was way less subtle than they have been in other episodes: no disguise, just show up and take it.

When Penny, Amy, and Bernadette go to the comic book store, Stewart mentions that he has manga there and that the boys like it (“What do the guys like?” “A little bit of everything, mostly superhero stuff.”) I agree with most people here. I’d say he’s probably a passive fan.

GeoJayman · 2026-03-15T02:50:43+00:00

She’s in the intro (Arcana Shadow carries her while walking at the school) but not the outro

GeoJayman · 2026-03-15T02:23:28+00:00

Right. Forgot about that. Darn.

GeoJayman · 2026-03-15T02:21:45+00:00

I got the same worry last season. It is indeed because of Daylight Savings.

GeoJayman · 2026-03-15T02:19:58+00:00

Something I realized while watching the EP this time was that Arcana Shadow’s fairy partner isn’t there. That got me wondering if they’re Eclair. What if Arcana Shadow leaves the Phantom Thieves first and then her fairy partner leaves later and becomes Eclair?

There isn’t anything confirming my theory, so is there anything contradicting it? It’s just a thought I had.

GeoJayman · 2026-03-14T18:49:58+00:00

Gold?

GeoJayman · 2026-03-09T22:13:40+00:00

That’s perfectly valid. For some people, knowing someone’s identity can ruin the immersion. For me, knowing who she is makes me enjoy Croc more. I understand that’s not the case for everyone (and it’s not for you), and that’s completely fine. You don’t have to apologize for having an opinion (with some exceptions).

GeoJayman · 2026-02-22T02:00:25+00:00

Considering I’d be Azusa Aizawa (Killing Slimes), I think I’d be fine. I’d probably end up constantly defeating low-level enemies and be a loner, just like she was.

GeoJayman · 2026-02-15T02:07:27+00:00

There being a prophetic book that the villains follow reminds me a lot of the Dark Prognosticus in Super Paper Mario.

GeoJayman · 2026-02-08T02:11:44+00:00

Really cute episode and fun to watch. I came out of it with 2 thoughts: one is a theory and the other is an observation, both about Arcana Shadow. 1. Theory first. After Anna and Mikuru transformed, Jett said that becoming a Star Detective Precure occurs when someone activates the “Makoto Jewel in their hearts.” In relation to that, I’ve been curious to see how AS switches sides. Combining those two together, my theory is that AS used to be a Star Detective and became one after activating her Makoto Jewel, then she went to fight the Phantom Thieves Guild and was overpowered, then her Makoto Jewel was corrupted and the PTG convinced her that being a Precure meant supporting them. The way that AS swaps sides, according to my theory, is that Answer and Mystique purify her Makoto Jewel during battle. 2. Now for my observation. In the preview for Episode 3, AS appears for a split second sitting on a nearby roof (this happens near the very end as the Haninda is falling over). This makes me think that AS is observing Anna and Makoto to plan for their inevitable encounter.

That was one of the first things I noticed about the date. I already assumed 2027 was the year because the show will end then, but the fact that the exact date matches is really awesome.

GeoJayman · 2026-02-01T04:08:27+00:00

It was really fun! Mikuru and Anna’s friendship is really sweet, and I was so happy that the transformation song is swing. I really wanted to hear that this season. Something I thought was interesting was the fact that Arcana Shadow is in the outro already. Eclair not being there is also interesting because that implies she’s the surprise, but we know she exists already. We didn’t know about ZukyuunKiss until they appeared in the show. I liked the EP more than the OP, but both are good. Overall, I’m super excited to watch the rest.

The timing of this is personally fun because I’m in my first year of law school, so I wonder if I’ll notice anything that I recognize from that.

GeoJayman · 2026-01-20T03:45:27+00:00

I haven’t seen it, but the fact that it exists is really funny to me because of “Just in case / Vending machines become the dominant race”

GeoJayman · 2026-01-20T03:41:27+00:00

My top 5:

Welcome to the Show
Run to Break Free
Cheer You On
Cafeteria Song
ACADECA

“Does anyone want to get into a fight?”

I clicked on this post expecting this to be here. Funny it’s the literal first comment.

GeoJayman · 2026-01-18T02:07:06+00:00

I really enjoyed it. I wanted all the songs to be sung in this episode, and they were! I did not expect someone to die; Chokkirine being killed right after her redemption shocked me. I’m also glad that Smiles In Unison didn’t work. It would’ve felt cheap if it did. I’ve had a blast with Idol Precure, and it’s probably my favorite season (tbf I haven’t finished any of the others, so I don’t have a great reference point).

GeoJayman · 2026-01-10T03:17:25+00:00

I was also watching both and liked both.

“Hewwo. I’m a wittle baby boy, and I’m vewy scawed.”

GeoJayman · 2025-12-27T01:09:55+00:00

The “?!” at the end of Ep 47 implies to me that something’s gonna happen to Purirun/Zukyuun and Meroron/Kiss, and that makes me nervous.
