Summary[]

SmPC37

Reika worried

Aoki Reika, student council vice president, begins the school day by sweeping up leaves, watering the flowers and greeting students as they arrive. When her friends arrive, they suggest she run for student council president in the upcoming election, using the Star Decor to create sparkles and demanding a speech. They are shocked when she announces she has no intention to run for election, due to her lack of certainty about her own path in life.

Meanwhile, Majorina, Wolfrun and Akaoni are watching an anime depicting the popular trope of an all-powerful student council president. Taking it seriously, they disguise as humans and pose as transfer students to run for president themselves.

"Wolf Runtarou" makes his election pledge to get rid of homework, "Majo Rina" offers to let students eat sweets in class, and "Aka Onikichi" promises to let students bring manga and video games to school. The girls are divided, with Nao and Akane rejecting such irresponsible election promises, but manga fan Yayoi is interested in the proposals and Miyuki is excited at the prospect of sweets.

Reika, outraged by this corruption of school values, pledges to run in the election. Her friends support her and Yayoi draws an election poster. However, her election promises to uphold tradition fail to impress the student body, and Reika once again blames her own self-doubt about her path in life. She begins to struggle in other activities at which she normally excels, including archery and studying.

Trivia[]

  • This episode references a manga trope where the student council seems to be the most powerful organization in the entire school, outranking even the principal. TV Tropes refers to this as the Absurdly Powerful Student Council.
  • This is one of several episodes exploring Reika's goal of finding her own "path".
  • This is the third episode where someone other than Miyuki appears at the center at the start of the transformation sequence. In this episode, it is Reika, whose story is central to the episode.
  • This episode notes that the class is still Class 2-2, meaning that they are still in their second year, as they have been since the first episode. However, episode 9 is set on April 1st, and episodes 1-8 clearly take place before that date. This is unusual, since Japanese school year normally begins in April.
  • An advertisement for the Smile Pretty Cure! movie aired alongside this episode. The movie was released on October 27, 2012, one day before this episode aired. The opening sequence to this episode also featured clips from the movie.
