Star Detective Precure: Fool Me Once
Dec. 16th, 2025 11:20 amWell… I was planning on getting back into Precure through Idol Precure, but that didn’t happen. Though with all the complaints this season has received, that may be a good thing. Maybe if I get hyped from the beginning instead of remembering it existed last minute or at the mid-season reveal like the last few seasons, I’ll be able to stick with it until the end. Just ignore the past four Precure seasons I started and didn’t even continue past the first month of episodes…
It seems like the real designs for Star Detective Precure leaked today. There was a keychain leak a week ago, but the person behind it revealed it was fake by showing the layers today. I was fooled, but I have to respect the effort in the age of lazy AI fakes. The new leak is from the gummy wrapper and the cards.
So it’s a 💜🩷🩵🖤 lineup… My opinion on the never-ending color distribution war is “(dog with lolipop and propeller hat) purple is my favorite color so I like when there’s a purple cure :)” so I’m happy. I was actually hoping for a purple lead but her design is just alright and she seems like she’ll be the typical thick protagonist. Though I like the bossy looking pink cure, so maybe it’ll be inverse of the archetypical pink-purple duo and the pink will be the more serious one.
It seems like the third founding cure is the black cure and wow, she’s gorgeous.
The reason I wanted to get into Idol Precure in the first place (despite the trio cures having the most bland designs I’ve seen since I got into Precure in 2019) was because Ave Mujica’s Hatsune gave me an appreciation for blondes and Cure Zukyun fit that perfectly. So this potentially being another season with that kind of design is exciting for me. She’s also really goth! I hope she’s real… I love the contrast of the black jewel headpiece and the giant bow with her blonde hair. The gradient purple veil (?) and cape (???) looks so dainty and mysterious (what I wanted from the purple cure). I’m really happy that she’s also goth in her civilian form, but is her anonymity okay lol.
The teal cure is also pretty and probably would have been my favorite design if they hadn’t completely knocked it out of the park with the black cure. It’s hard to tell with the crunch quality, but the silhouette of her cure form reminds me of historical fashion and seems to be the most detective. She looks mature and elegant. Her civilian form isn’t included yet.
I’ve been holding this in for a while so I want to finally get it out before it becomes more than the 4-5 year grudge it already is. I really hate the Precure community’s attitude towards leaks. There’s so much hypocrisy and grandstanding. I remember a few years ago one of the popular members of the community decided to start shaming people for posting leaks, but then went on to vaguepost about the leaks they would only share with their friends. “Rules for thee (so I look good in front of Japanese fans), but not for me” sums up the common attitude.
I actually thought the community got better about this, but no, the same people who were just reminiscing about their favorite leak reveals were doing the same wink-wink, nudge-nudge style of posting this morning. I don’t see the difference between posting the images outright and posting about how they didn’t or did like the purple cure and also DM them if you want the leaks. They’re still spoiling, but now in an asshole way that makes other people feel left out because they’re not a part of the leak hoarding clique. Hypocrites. Leave it to people to make a children’s show fandom unpleasant.
I’m really looking forward to the season though if these leaks are real. Save me goth girl.
There was more to the leaks that people were gatekeeping. I also missed the rumors that it’s a founding duo with two cures joining later…
I definitely think they’re real now that there’s pictures of not only the box and gummy wrappers, but also what’s inside them. I can’t wait to see the high quality versions. I’m hoping the teal cure will have ringlets.
I like the theory that the cures use their watch to age up in their cure forms.
