ONE BAD BILBERRY - PART ONE

Kirakira Pretty Cure à la Mode
Episode 31 - My Own Review

ONE BAD BILBERRY (SPOILS THE WHOLE BUCKET)
PART ONE

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Supergrover?

No, it's the Glaivemobile!

As you can see, Kirarin (with enough calories under her belt) can change directly into Cure Parfait, without going through a stint as Ciel!

Of course Chocolat gets curbstomped... maybe she was already burned out still after last battle (an exhausting one!)...

...which gives Parfait the chance to counterattack, which we had barely seen.

When was the last time they did Sweets Wonderful à la Mode?

Why is our resident sissy villain looking at her like that?

I hope it's merely gloating... Glailysio is the pairing I prefer, but I wouldn't mind Elysio being bi. What would tick me off would be him being straight to the bone.

Get a little more torn in the maidenhe- I mean, stained in darkness. 

Scream, writhe, until your strength wears off and you surrender completely...

Noir gives Bilberry the power to wager everything she is.

Like Rhiannon in Blindsprings, here we have a dandere/perky female minion who has transcended the border from cute and psycho to utterly psycho. Such sang-froid is unusual in her.

Anyway, that "selfless love" for her guardian, who rescued her from destitution but metaphorically deflowered her, hurts. Bilberry can definitely give Harley Quinn a run for the money in this department (even though Bilberry's love for Noir is ai, while Harley's love for the Joker is koi).

BRACE YOURSELVES, PRECURE, AUDIENCE, BILBERRY AS WELL...

MY OWN HUMBLE OPINION:

Aside from the coda, the only saving Glaive... I mean saving grace of this episode is this universe's counterpart of Brian Blessed (if Kumojaki is in another continuity, does he count as well?).

So I gave this arc/cour finale the title of One Bad Bilberry because... you see. If not, read back above. Once more, like when it came to Lock's character arc, we have an already empowering moment at this point at the start of the finale to raise the stakes... even more when all the McGuffins have come together as one. In the next episode, we will hopefully learn more about the Big Good and maybe Noir's backstory as a few hints -- let us hope that the excitement is as justified as for Hard Lock 

Hallelujah two years ago... 

The next episode will have some time travel into the past and the Kirakiraru Creamer will be made out of all these McGuffins... 

Definitely, the plot thickens.
