Yuri’s life is suffering, yes (at least Makoto got something back at the end of DokiDoki). She initially failed her mission, watched her fairy, “sister”, and father die in front of her, and probably would have been killed herself if Tsubomi hadn’t stopped her from going after Dune alone (it’s kind of a miracle that the poor girl is even still sane by the end of the series). But that’s also kind of what makes her a hero, she’s basically been through utter hell and came out of it stronger than ever.

Having an Otaku for a Precure is kind of weird but you kind of have to love how excitable Yayoi is (she’s literally getting to live her dream after all), also Happy Robo is probably one of the most hilarious Precure episodes ever (even in the dub for that matter).

As for Honoka, I like that she has an actual arc throughout both seasons. She starts off as this awkward smart girl without many friends and ends up growing into a natural leader basically beloved by the whole school. In addition to basically being a genius she’s also really good at thinking on her feet as well (like in that episode during the first season where she’s at the museum with her parents).

While it could be said that Futari, Splash Star and Maho Girls don’t really have “leaders” in the strictest sense I would actually kind of argue that Honoka is a bit more deserving of the position than Nagisa (she’s clearly the brains of the operation at the very least).
