Oh you actually like the villains??? That is rare!! I remember when Maho Girls aired, a lot of people weren't a fan of them. Glad to see someone enjoys them though because I too thought they were pretty good!!

I think the reason why duos are rare is because a) toei doesn't want to give us too many duos in a row. Splash Star to Suite was a 4 year wait, and Suite to Maho Girls was another 4 year wait. b) A duo can make the show rather dull, especially if the duo's personality is a bit bland or if one of them is pretty uninteresting to the point that the other has to try and make the show more interesting (a.k.a Mirai and Riko - Mirai being the bland one and Riko being the one having to push it along), and c) I guess combining both a and b, they don't want the franchise to get too stale with the same formula in terms of how teams are formed and stuff. Granted Toei needs to stop the mid season Cure formula someday because that is getting olllld fast but they still try to do things differently with how how Cures appear which is nice. Plus when Toei does give us a new duo who must transform together at all times, they always have some sort of new twist that is different from the other duos that came before them~
