Jumping in to point this out! Okay, I just wrote a blog post about it, but I wanna point out what appeared to be homages to Futari wa Pretty Cure.

First, there's the fact that Cure Magical wears black gloves while Cure Miracle wears white gloves. That could only be a nod to the first duo, Cure Black and Cure White.

Then there's the simple fact that when Batty saw that Mirai and Riko had become Pretty Cures, he used Nagisa's "Arienai!" catch phrase.

And let's not forget that after they did their introduction, Mirai and Riko were effectively thinking, "Wait, what did I just say?"
