So big news.



Julio was revealed to be planned to be a Cure during the production stages. The design he has in the latest episode is actually Julio's Pretty Cure outfit and his name was gonna be Cure Waffles. The magazine scan said this was scrapped but they kept the outfit to symbolise that he is now good, not evil.

The reason why I mention this is, a) listen closely in the next episode; maybe the magazine is lying to us and Julio is gonna introduce himself as "Cure Waffles" and b) if Julio isn't a Cure then, maybe, just maybe, Hugtto might introduce our first male Cure ever.

I hope Cure Waffles does not exist and that this does not mean a male Cure in Hugtto. Because, Precure...it does well with only girls as the heroes. If they make a male Cure, I can see them making the guy stronger while the female Cures are so weak that they need this male Cure to do everything...Mana style.

I don't want Toei to make this male Cure because he'll probably be too similar to Tuxedo Mask while the girl Cures will probably end up like Sailor Moon and the others: weak, can't punch or kick because they rely on their stupid wands or magic powers and need some stupid man to help them out.

So I really hope Hugtto or future seasons do not give us a male Cure. Keep the boys in a role similar to Seiji, Prince Kanata or Julio (if he isn't revealed as a Cure in the next episode) because I love Precure as it makes the girls seem strong and independent and if a male Cure is introduced, I can see the girls becoming and weak and dependent on this male Cure.
