So based on the title of 38 it looks like Twinkle Imagination is an upgrade that each Cure is going to receive individually.

I’ve really been enjoying Star Twinkle so far and hope they don’t wind up rushing the ending as it seems we’ve still got a fair bit of ground to cover and not much time left to do it in (especially if 38-42 is going to be dedicated to each Cure receiving their own individual Twinkle Imagination). Maybe it might be best to actually start the final arc a bit earlier and have the obligatory Christmas episode directly tie into it somehow, that would give them a bit more breathing room at the very least.

Speaking of the final arc, here are a few things I think are likely to happen:

-The Precure are getting their identities exposed along with the fact that two of them are aliens: There just seems to be too many factors at play here for them to keep it a secret much longer. Not to mention that the worse the situation gets the harder it’s going to be for them to keep covering it up.

-We’re finally going to find out exactly who or what Darknest actually is: His face is a computer screen, his voice is distorted and Toei is still hiding the name of his actor, this seems to imply there’s something bigger going on here that we haven’t been told yet. Also I wouldn’t be surprised if he was behind the black hole that suddenly destroyed the NotRaiders’ home planets (there’s one sitting directly behind their base after all) and if he likely intends to do the same to Earth and the rest of the universe as well.

-There’s going to be one final grudge match between Yuni and Aiwan (and possibly Hikaru and Kappard): I doubt anybody’s going to die as a result but it just seems like the show has been building this up pretty heavily lately. Maybe Yuni decides to leave the team temporarily in order to take matters into her own hands again and winds up running into Aiwan as a result (heck, maybe the fight ends up rekindling the friendship they seemed to have back when Yuni was posing as Bakenyan).

-Madoka is going to stand up to her father at some point: How exactly this goes down depends on what the writers ultimately decide to do with him but I just feel like some sort of confrontation is inevitable at this point.

Also unless something changes in the next few episodes we can probably kiss the idea of Yuni ever going to school goodbye at this point (but you never know), which I’m fine with honestly as it’s at least something unique (come to think of it, have we ever had a core team Cure that didn’t go to school before)?

I’d also like to see Hikaru’s dad come back at least one more time as well.
