All I will say is, I do not believe Precure needs to be "magical girl".

Although the "genre" has been acknowledged to exist, unlike Powerpuff Girls it is not the show's own name and if it has rules they can be broken. "genre" is a loose mentality. different "genres" can be mixed together, etc.

That being said, I'd be fine with having a male powerpuff girl, too. and for example if I absolutely must choose one term or the other I'd actually prefer to call Henri a "male magical girl" over calling him a "magical boy". Just because, I wanna buck the system and break the rules. though tbh I just call him a "Precure" instead, because that's what he actually is...
