Yes! PreCure 5 - Episode 07 Released

Post by Magenta »

Damn it, Precure 5! Stop dragging HeartCatch down with you! It must live! Liiiiiiive!

As must we all, in a weary and turbulent world. So break away with some...
Yes! PreCure 5
Episode 07: The Best Friend, Nuts, Appears!
In which FABULOUS new villains appear, Urara invents the handglasses, and THAT'S A LOT OF NUTS!

I love you, pipes!

Episode Notes:
  • And so, the pair of mascots is united. Obviously their names - Coco & Nuts - are derived from 'Coconuts', but you may not have known that the word Palmier is the French word for a palm tree. And, ya know, that's where coconuts come from. It's... it's very clever, and it works on many levels.

    Yeah okay shut up, there's really nothing good to explain this episode. So instead I'll explain that Nuts' human name, much like Coco's is "Kokoda Kouji", is merely 'Natsu' - which means 'summer'. This confusion is maybe what causes his official name spelling to become 'Natts', but this is really stupid and a case of the person writing it not knowing English and just blindly reading kana. And we cannot have that now, can we?

    A few other things. Bumbee has this bad habit of making really bad puns about Kawarino's name every time he appears. For example, the first time he mentions him by name, he says "Kawarino-san! O kawari no naku..." which becomes "Kawarino-san, you're the same as ever, I see." or... whatever I used. Anyway, Bumbee will split the kana of Kawarino's name in whatever ways he can to create a situationally appropriate pun. Which is nice. Unless you're a translator.

    Also, bonus points to the person who makes the best motivational poster using a sentence that becomes inappropriate due to the appending of "-nuts".
Anyway, as ever, please enjoy the episode.

Wow even Nuts transform's into a incredibly good looking guy, these girls must really like being Precures now. :wink:
Fascinating that they brought up Nuts being the one to that was responsible for the Nightmariens attacking the Palmier Kingdom so early in the series that's usually something you reserve for the middle part, hopefully well get more details on it later in the series. Now that Coco & Nuts are reunited i'm sure they'll make a lovely set of Coconuts.

Together would the be Coco-nuts? or nuts and cocoa?
I also like that the bad guys of the series have that sorta corperation feel to it. Makes this almost feel like an alegory for the dangers of capitalism....Probably not intentional. After all when was the last time a shojo series had that kind of deep underlying message?
Edit- HIM!? Is it sad that the fact that Kawarino is male surprised me?

The second one. No wait, the first one. There's a reason Mag spells it the way he does and not Natts

I think an allegory for capitalism is missing the mark. It's probably more that a large corporation tends to treat employees like faceless fodder after a certain point. The different members are all vying for promotion, the superiors are bossy, etc.

Touche, though two things. One, I don't think the two are incompatible, the things you pointed out are both things that could be seen as 'evil' by someone who was not a capitalist, and two, I think we're both reading WAY too far into this.
And on the subject of Coconuts vs. Nuts and cocoa, I could see either making sense, given that its not too hard for me, at least, to see Chocolate and nuts togehter, so it works either way, though I agree that there's a small amount of humor in the two being a brown, hairy seedpod (At least I *Think* that's what a Coconut is.)

I think it's made blatantly obvious by the "Coconuts mitai na~" line in the ED, which they mistakenly pluralize just to make the reference to their names work XD

Oh, Japan.

I heard that, but I attributed to a pun that I didn't understand.

That is not exactly true. You may or may not know this, but Coconuts come from a Coco(nut) Tree whereas Palm Nuts come from a Palm Tree. It's quite confusing, as the trees look the same, but there are some distinguishing features to tell them appart. I didn't know that at first, but when I went back to my home country for the holidays back in Summer 2007, my Aunt explained that to me, so basically they made a mistake, they should have put "Cocotier" instead of "Palmier", as the former makes more sense for Coco and Nuts.

Yeah Mag, how dare you screw that up!

BTW a coconut tree's full name is coconut palm tree, because palm is the overarching name for those types of trees. Also, one such palm nut is coconut

Yes! PreCure 5 is canceled? But why? I really wanted to watch this series of Pretty Cure and hoped you would have subbed the sequel (Yes! PreCure 5 GoGo!) too... :(
Too bad that Yes! PreCure 5 and Rockman got canceled... especially Rockman.
