PreCure speech moment
If Fantastic Tales PreCure got to be a real series, I’d want to do a Wizard of Oz episode. Something similar to what HUGtto did with The Little Mermaid in that one episode. Calliope, a general serving King Comatose, creates a trap for the Cures, dumping them into the land of Oz. Amai, in the role of Dorothy, heads to the Emerald City with Yumu and finds that her friends have been cast as the other main characters — with no memory of who they really are.
They are pursued by Calliope, who claims that she’s taken away each Cure’s greatest strength — Aislyn believes she has no brain, Miyako claims to have no heart, and Masaru jumps at every little shadow. The spell is strong, and Amai’s claims that they don’t belong in Oz go ignored.
Calliope, who takes the place of the Wicked Witch of the West, explains that her main goal is to keep the Pretty Cure trapped forever, but she also plans to defeat them in their weakened state. Amai attempts to use the silver slippers to get the Cures out of the story, only to find that Calliope made the shoes completely powerless when designing her prison.
Amai and the others head to the Emerald City, hoping that they’ll be safer there, and decides to try her luck asking to see the wizard to see if he has any solutions.
It doesn’t go well, and Amai locates the wizard, a Dreamlander, in his hiding place, exposing him.
Calliope turns the wizard into a Fantasm. This reveals that the entire prison is powered by Dream Core magic, and should dissipate if combatted with the Cures’ purifying magic. Unfortunately, only Cure Reverie able to use her Dream Connect Tact, as the others are still under Calliope’s spell. Yumu is forced to stick close to Aislyn, Masaru, and Miyako, leaving Cure Reverie open to the Fantasm’s attacks. Calliope gloats, convinced she’s won, but Reverie rallies her friends and snaps them out of the enchantment, allowing them to transform.
I really like the Wizard of Oz stock episode, and I think that it would be fun to put my own characters into it in a way where Amai is able to lampshade and react to Oz as someone who’s read the book. Fantastic Tales PreCure being focused on fiction and fantasy as motifs makes it perfect for that kind of plot
