I would argue that in practice Futari Wa, Splash Star and Maho Girls didn’t really have “leaders” in the strictest sense (and in the case of the former I would actually say Honoka kind of fits the bill more than Nagisa does as she’s usually the one coming up with strategies and the like). I would also say that Yuri feels more like the leader of the HeartCatch team than Tsubomi does (she has seniority and is more familiar with how their enemies operate).

But yeah, while Pink could still take point in battle and serve as the heart of the team it might be nice to put someone else in charge for a change (they’ve done that a few times with the Reds in Sentai after all).
