Okay before I move onto Hana... Emile. Her name is Emiru. not Emile. I get if you got it from her fake Cure persona, Cure Emile, but that was to just put a stupid little fancy twist on her name in the Cure form. In reality, she is just Emiru and Toei calls her Emiru on merch as well XD I also am not a fan of the whole Emiru and Ruru shipping thing. I find it weird and kinda gross. Their close friends. Why can't you (as in fans) just let them be friends and not draw them in lewd positions or ship them. It's disgusting.

Anyway onto to Hana. One thing I noticed is you seem really nit picky about stuff that shouldn't really matter XD For example the color green. Just because Hana has green on her or Kotori wears a green shirt isn't a bad thing. It's like saying you can't wear green otherwise it's a wasted opportunity. When it isn't. It's just a color. The reason why there is so little green Cures is because green on it own just doesn't sell well. Little girls don't really favour green. Plus, green is considered blue in Japan at times. Especially for the traffic lights. They may be red, orange and green for us but in Japan they call it "Aka (red)", "Kiiro (Orange/Yellow)" and "Ao (Blue)". That could be another why green Cures are so rare. "There's already a blue Cure so no need for a green" is probably what Toei thinks before thinking about toy sales.

Anyway onto Hana herself. It was explained in an interview that the reason why Hana's bangs never changed like the others is because the five girls' Cure personas represent who they want to be as an adult. Back in episode 1, Homare said that Hana's bangs were stylish/unique. If Homare hadn't said this, then Hana's bangs would be a lot different as a Cure. But they didn't change when she became Cure Yell because Homare's words resonated with her. So there's your explanation for Hana's bangs.

Onto her visual gags with her mouth. I don't see an issue. Why must the background not be shown in her mouth? I laugh at the gags no matter what is shown in her mouth. I think Hana is a funny character and still is. My only issue is her lack of screen time because of Emiru and Ruru. They just stole so much screen time that here we are at episode 35, with only 15ish episodes left which is so little time to fit in the main three Cure's development and the season's plot ;-; I worry about HUGtto. I am really afraid that Toei was trying too hard to celebrate the 15th anniversary that they forgot that the story and character development is so much more important than chucking in references to past seasons or the past Cures themselves. I can only hope and pray 2019's season realises the error Toei made with Hugtto. Because Hugtto is by no means a bad season. It just had a lot of potential and failed to live up to it because of the 15th anniversary hype.
