STAR DETECTIVE PRECURE! Episode 32 Impressions

0:00 As we get to know more about Ruduka, I just get to like her more and more. What an amazing character she is. Hello everyone, it's Le and it's time to talk about episode 32 from Star Detective Precure. We got to know more sides to Duduka this time around and I've been really really loving this character. But before we talk about the episode, let us talk about the updated opening that we finally have. Oh my god, I'm very very happy with this. And I also want to talk a little bit about the other uh stock footages that are new that we have in this episode. So, it feels like this is the final thing from the opening. We're probably not going to have it updated anymore unless we have surprises, but even if we do have surprises, I don't

0:46 think it's going to be in the opening nonetheless. We have Kuran Duda added to this scene. We have Duda with a little ice cream. I love it. and also to this scene that comes right after that one. And uh in here we don't have Puchan because Puchan is going to appear right after and move to the next scene. That walking duda scene had Kur right in front of it because we notice that where her shoes and now the camera pans up and we can see Kura's face looking at this to Duduka and Dudika's shining eyes looking at Kura. Yes, girl. I also thought the same. That's very sweet. And then on the lily field scene while Dudika is turning around, we have her seeing or thinking

1:32 about Cure Clair together with Shishutan. Very lovely. Love this shot. And on the next moment, she sees Dei. This time around, Dei is also added to the opening in two scenes. This is the first one, and it culminates in this moment right here. The Phantom Thieves are not updated. It's the same visual that we had but they added Di in this moment and then we had Usenoir appearing and the other update that we have is on the fighting scene that we have enter and mystique are fighting Hanzas and we have Cur Clair fighting Dei again and it's very nice because Dei teleports himself and Cura Clare with the kid time is trying to go against him and we have Arana using Arcanaar Shine

2:18 that is such a beautiful attack and then we have the Finished opening with this beautiful ending shot. I adore this with all of the characters and all of the fairies as well. I mean, not all of the fairies cuz Jet Senpai is not here, but all of the fairies that are partners to the cures. Very beautiful with all the Mak Jewels. Very, very beautiful. Uh, last shot. Another update that we have, which is a new scene, is the group roll call at the end of the transformation. I adore this. We have answer and a clair. And I love the the lightning in this. It's so beautiful. Oh my god. It starts dark like this and then it turns lighter. It's everything. On the other side, we have Mystique and Arcana. And

3:03 then we have all of them coming and posing together as Star Detective Precure. This is very, very lovely. Very beautiful pose. I really like the background and also the framing around. It looks very, very pretty. Very happy with the group pose. Very simple poses, but still very nice. I like how the cures are drawn in this. I just don't love how a Claire and Arana are hidden by the big hairs. But if they're hidden by big hairs, it means it is for a good reasoning cuz I love big hair like this. So, not a complaint. And we also have the stock footage on Arcana Starshine. I was expecting to see Arcana's solo attack in this episode. Not the case. I am still

3:48 very excited over it. I really want to see it. Break your white white arcana. Lily, white lily arcana. Don't remember, but it is going to be her solo attack. I'm very curious. But we got to see the stock footage on our star shine. That looks way better than our star rain. Love this background. Oh my god, I love it. And the way she uses this attack, girl. Look at this shot. Come on. It's so beautiful. the the shin arana rod girl. It's everything. I love it. And then uh we have her throwing of the beam and it is super menacing, super strong, so powerful. I adore this so much. And now

4:34 let us talk about the episode. So uh we start the episode with Duduka eating ice cream on Patic Shushu and Kur's like, "You've been here for so long. What's going on?" And one of the things that we're going to see in this episode is, and we've kind of seen this throughout the show as well, is that Ruda is not able to talk much about how she's actually feeling. And Mashotan is the one to translate that. We're going to see that later in the episode as well. And I love this. This shows the complicity that they have, the the sisterhood that they have, and the bond they have. I really like it. Dudika is here because she has nowhere else to go now that she left the Phantom Thieves. And this raises so many questions to me, which is something that is very present

5:21 in Star Detective, which is where do those girls live? So, Mikuru, before joining the character detective agency, she lived in the dormatory from the school. Now, she's in the detective agency. Anna, we know lived with her mother in an apartment. Kura and Duda, where do they come from? Were they Londoners? Were they from London? Where did they come from? Do they have families? Where do they live? Like, where did they live before? What is the story of those characters? It's such a weird thing to me, especially considering Prior usually deals with those with this kind of thing. They show their families and everything. And with those two, it's a mystery. And it is implied here. At

6:07 least I understood it this way. Share with me if you understood differently that Ruda lived in that theater with the Phantom Thieves. It doesn't seem that she had a home of her own because if she did, she would have a place to go. So, she lived with them. And like before living in the Curto detective agency from London and then moving on to the Curto Detective Agency in Japan, where did she live? It it really feels like they don't have families, both Ruda and Kura. And another thing that makes me question this scene is the fact that Kura does where does she live now? Because I don't remember the girls calling her to live in the curator detective agency. Did this happen and I forgot? Please, if

6:53 it does, please enlighten me because I forgot. Does she live in Paticity Shushu? Where? Because before that, we don't know. It was never really touched upon like does she live in the Paticity? Probably not, right? But if she does like how like what is happening here? Because before she lost her memory, she used to live in the character detective agency together with the Duduka. What about after that? We never know. And right what what about right now? Because it doesn't seem that she live lives in the cur detective agency with the girls. I am a little this makes me a little confused. But nonetheless, uh we have uh the the owner of Patisir Shushu Ary asking if they knew each other and how they they got to know and Kura mentions

7:41 that Duduka is from her neighborhood. That's how they got to meet each other. And I love Duduka's face here in this moment. Girl, it is so good. So good. And then uh we we have Duda noticing that there is a girl outside eating her ice cream as well. This girl is very fashionable. I really like her style. And then we have Shushutan. And this scene was so random. I loved it. It was it was so out of nowhere. And I love that Shushutan brings in a little flavor of surrealism to the show by having the the Shushan quiz and now having those, you know, those ideas that feel very out there. Shushutan is here and she's like, "Oh, Duda, you have nowhere to go. You should live in a castle." Because if you

8:28 lived in a castle, I would have the opportunity to have tea parties together with Kura. And then we have this scene of both [laughter] out of nowhere. And Mashan is super angry like, "Girl, what are you saying? We're we're searching for a place for us to live." That probably means Kura has a place for her to live. And we just don't know where she is living unless she's living in the C detective agency. And I forgot. But this scene was so random and I loved it so much. But while they were talking, Kura was paying attention to the girl that was outside that she already left. I think she ka uh she was paying attention to that girl. The girl was already gone, but still. And then we have the girls on a

9:14 shop. This will culminate at the end of the episode. The girls then arrive in the shu in the in patic city shushu. And Kur Duduka is already eating another ice cream. And girl, this looks delicious. I'm so hungry right now. This looks delicious. Oh, I I need I'm craving sweets. I'm craving ice cream, too. I would love it. And then they uh see Duda and they're like, "Oh, we don't have your number and we wanted to talk to you and we imagined that you would be here together with Kura." And they're like, "We need we have to ask you something." And the phone rings, the scene cuts, and Kura uh takes the phone. And the phone is that girl that we saw earlier. She says she lost something in uh the peticity. But we don't know what that

10:00 something is because she needs to run to work. And I just want to make a very quick parenthesis here because sometimes we are dealing with personal stuff and we have to go to work and we we are feeling that anxiousness over something that is going on in our lives but we still have to stop and go to work. I feel the pain of this girl because this happens to every one of us, right? We we need to, you know, pause that in our minds and get to work. And this is probably what she was feeling at this time. She needed to, you know, the the boss came in like, "Y girl, you need to come." And then she just left and she couldn't even talk finish her conversation with Kura. At

10:46 the same moment, we have Pochita noticing that there was a Makoto jewel in Patic Shushu and she shows the girls where the the Makoto jewel is. It is on the balcony on the on Patic Shushu and they are there. But while they're all on that place searching for this object, Kur is like, "Oh, with my Kamecki abilities, I know what this object is. It's the object that the girl lost while she called me on the phone." And the girls are like, "And what is this object?" is like, "Girl, I forgot to ask or there was no time to ask." So, for the first time, they don't know the

11:32 object they're looking for. And I love the reaction here. I love the rea the reactions in this episode. They were really good. And so, we have a new scenario here. Uh, and the girls don't know the ep the the episode. They don't know the item that they're looking for. And this is a new type of mystery that we haven't had before. And so they look into all of the culprits and we have three c three the culprits the suspects. And we have three suspects this time. We have this guy who is who works at a clothing shop. I think we have the diva and she's finally back. I was so happy she was not the culprit who is a high school student and we have this lady who is a CEO. She's with her little puppy her little dog. And when she's when they

12:20 see the gadu both enem like oh we saw that we saw her already and she was ni oh my god so let's question them and then duda stops them because all three of them are doing what they are enjoying their ice cream. So this is the moment for them to enjoy their ice cream. It's a it's like a religious moment for everyone in Duduka's mind. So she's like don't bother them. I girl she's ever I love [laughter] this was so nice [snorts] and Kura is like oh this is Ruda's policy but obviously it was not only because it was ice cream and that is something Duda loves. There's also the fact that

13:07 two of those three people are innocent and they are just there enjoying a good moment. So why would they disrupt this good moments that they're living? This is what Kura calls Duduka's policy. And that's a very nice thing. That's also something new that we get to discover from Duduka. But among those three, there is one that is a culprit. And then there are kids that come in to play with the little dog from the lady and they're like, "Oh my god, kids are around. They are close to the culprit. So this is dangerous for them. We need to do something. And who is the one to do something? Duduka. As I said, Duduka is oh my god, she is just everything. She's so silly. And it's so nice to get to

13:53 know more about the silly side of her. I love it. So, we first have all of the items that she has. And it's interesting that she does already have a communicator from Jet because I mean, she did not get those items yet from Jet. They came before. And I wonder those items that she has, they probably come from Shinan. And I wonder if Shinan already knowing Jet's ability created a jet communicator in Jet's appearance or if it's just something that they didn't really think of and they created her gadgets just like the other characters. And so she uses the pre-kid gloss to be able to disguise herself as a big dog.

14:39 The dog version of Duka, this was everything. A call back to Kugi, our amazing lead from Wonderful. And so she plays in with the kids and the kids just stray away a little bit from the the culprit, right? Because the culprit was around them. So, you know, the kids were there playing with uh Duda. Ka was all proud of her girly and then the girls were like, "Oh, I'm sorry. This was everything. And then we start the actual investigation here. The first information that we have from Korea is that the item that was lost there was a present from a boyfriend of that girl. And so the first idea that came from Anna's mind was that

15:25 it could be a ring. And the CEO had a ring. But Ruduka quickly dismissed it, saying that the ring that she had was very expensive. It wouldn't be a normal item for a young person to have and it also matched the color of the dog and so it would be very unlikely for it to be the present. And then the sun started coming in very strong. And we have the ghetto girl putting the glasses on. And at this moment, the girls noticed by the actions that the CEO also had her sunglasses on and the guy didn't. And then quickly both

16:12 Duduka and Kura noticed who the culprit was. We could see in Kura's face as well, but uh and Mikuru, they did not notice. And I would have I have to say this again that I I have a problem with this because and Mikuru, they were such good detectives and I know that Duda is supposed to be the best one and I I agree. I also think she is. I also like she's my favorite. So, I'm happy that she is. But like I think that this would be a nice thing if they were also able to notice this, you know? But because like I feel like the biggest thing was uh when Ruda was talking about the fact that it was Niji, she knew it was Niji and the others were confused as to why

16:57 because the explanation on the sunglasses being small. Uh they were already part of the dialogue that she had with the culprit. And so uh we we have this scene. Also, I just want to make a little point about this as well. I feel like uh there were quite a few moments of Vuduka walking in this episode and showing her shoes like this and I think they are kind of relevant because I feel like uh being able to take the first step is something for Duduka that has been part of her journey especially after uh everything that happened with Cur Claire for the first time. She has been taking many first steps in many actions that she had to take. She was brave enough to

17:44 take the first step. Even if the first the steps that she took sometimes would not be the correct ones, she did take first steps. And we see that there was there's another scene in the episode that is going to focus on her feet like this and she's going to turn around. It's like I took steps wrong. But, you know, I feel like I I just wanted to highlight this because it was not the only time that it appeared like this. So, I think it's relevant somehow. And so, she gets close to the culprit and she says that this person has uh stolen an item and she looks at him and says, "You're ni, right?" And then uh first of all, she says she talks about the sunglasses. He's the only one who is not wearing sunglasses unlike the other two.

18:32 and he cannot stray away from that. And she says, "You're Niji." The girls are surprised because they did not notice and they did not know how she could know it that it was Niji. And she mentions that the two members of the Phantom Thieves that are good in uh disguising themselves are Niji and Agisane. But Agisane already has sunglasses. And if it was her, she would know how to use a sunglass correctly and she wouldn't make the mistake that Niji did. And this moment was very nice because she looked back right into Aisain and she said, "Isn't that right, Aisain?" And Agasin was there watching it and she's there with us. And girl, I'm sorry. They dumped

19:18 down us so much. I I really feel like he is not going to be strong again. like he was in the curclair battle. I really don't believe he is going to take part in that last prophecy. We're going to talk about that soon. But uh I feel like he he's probably not going to be the one. I really believe Ditchi is going to try and do something and be like the last boss or something or if it's like a new figure. But like the what they did to son was oh my god. But anyways, it's it was nice that we saw Agis saying like that and the interaction that Uduka had with her. That was a very smart thing. And then uh obviously Niji accepts that he lost and

20:05 he turns into Niji and he explains that he got the sunglasses. the sunglasses were too small for him and while he was there he met a cure and you know he couldn't do anything about this and Duduka's like okay but why are you still after Makoto jewels the prophecy is gone there's no reason for you to get Mak jewels anymore right first of all there is a reason because of us noir even though Usenoir is not part of the prophecy any longer he wanted the power of the Mak jewels so that he could become stronger so that he could envelop the world in lies because he has that power but it doesn't last for long. So that would be a justific but probably maybe Duda Duda knows about this. This is justification

20:52 enough right for him to go after democra jewels but maybe he thinks he's not going to be able to get that power if he's not the great king. But then Niji shares with them the new prophecy that appeared in the tomb of Miragees. The new prophecy uh talks about the year of 1999. At the end of that year and the prophecy says that at the end of 1999 everything will become zero. The holder of the stone of truth is going to write a new history. And I think it's interesting because they don't use the word story they use history which is a different thing. So obviously US Noir is going after the Makul to have the Maktojles so that he can be the one to write history at the

21:38 end of 1999. I believe the one that is going to write rewrite history or write a new history is going to be Anna. I think she is the one that is going to fulfill this prophecy. Like a Claire was the the great king. I think the one to fulfill this prophecy is going to be Anna at the end of the season. And so uh we have okay we we had that prophecy last week which was discovered by the phantom thieves and now we have the cure discovering this prophecy as well and Duda says like will not let you do this. This scene was very nice with the pedals going around flocking around like this uh which was right after Niji created the Haninda. Very cool effect. And then we have them transforming and we have the battle. the battle. Even though it

22:26 was very short and it was not particularly well animated, I think it was nice because it showed us uh QR kind of trying a different technique here. So, we have the Hanita creating this big ray of light onto the sky and the light was dazzling all of them. They couldn't really do much. We had a uh QR kind of telling them like, "Oh, answer myique." And then she called the Clare for them to move and not get hit. Even Niji couldn't see a thing in the battle. And uh we have the the curers here uh trying to do something. And they said like, "Oh, it's so dazzling that we cannot take action." And at this moment,

23:13 Cure Arcana changes the perspective of them a little bit. like if if there is one of the senses that you cannot use, you just have to use the other senses. And we have a very nice scene here. This scene reminded me a little bit of shownen battles because sometimes in shownen shows, shownen battle shows, we have one of the characters trying to like not use one. Maybe they can't use one sense and they have to try and use the others to compensate for that. And girl, I had to pause to take this screenshot because come on. Glasses us Noir with a scene. I'm sorry. This was everything. I loved this. I loved this moment. And then uh while trying to

23:58 enhance the other senses, Kira Arcana was able to notice through sound and the movement of the air as well where the haninga was, and she was able to stop it. And this was such a cool scene. Again, the animation was like nothing incredible, but it was cool nonetheless. And she was able to throw it onto the sky. She jumped and kick it down. And while it was falling, she was like on top of the light. And she was telling like, "I am going to be the light that will dazzle you stronger than any other." And I was so loving it. Oh my god. Kurakana is fierce, baby. She is fierce. I love this. She's very She has

24:43 this angelic look, but girl, don't let it fool you. And then they use the grip attack. I was really expecting the solo attack today. I really want to see it. Maybe next week I'll be like, every week I'll be like, next week, maybe next week, next week, please, next week. I'm excited to see it. Then they defeat the Haninda. They get the Makula D. And then Nish is like, oh, now I'm able to see. and when he sees it, the battle is already over. This was great. Nij's participation in this episode. It was good. And then we finish the episode with a very sweet scene. We have the birthday girl. And did I mention that her style is super cool? I loved it. The birthday girl comes back. She gets her glasses back, her her sunglasses back,

25:28 which were a present for her from her boyfriend. She was very happy that she was able to get it back. and she smiled profusely after getting it back. So this smile is very important. So everything is fine with the girl. The mystery was resolved. And then Duduka asks the girls something that happened right at the start of the episode like what did you want with me because you came to the peticity. And the girls are like, "Oh, that's right. We want to invite you to live together with us in the character detective agency again. That was where you came from. So please come back to it. Let's live together." And then we have that scene that I mentioned before of Duda turning around and saying that she couldn't live there with them because she was part of the Phantom Thieves. She made a mess for them and

26:16 she uh you know she feels guilty over what she did before. So she feels like she's not worthy of being part of the detective agency once more. At this moment we have Kura who's looking very sad over this. But we do have the girls cheering her up and saying that uh being part of the detective uh being part of the Phantom Thieves doesn't change anything. Doesn't change who Duduka is. And we have something that Mikuru said that I think was very nice. Mikuru says that if you think you did something wrong while you were with the detectives, while you were with the Phantom Thieves, make it up by making people happy as a detective. you know, work hard as a detective to make up for

27:01 what you did wrong if you think you did wrong with the Phantom Thieves. And I really like this philosophy because I feel like whenever we make mistakes in life, we need to try and find ways of I'm I'm using this word, but because I really don't know another word in English, but uh it's not in a religious sense. You need to repent for what you did by trying to make correct the mistakes by repenting as as in you're trying to balance out the bad thing that you did by trying to do something good that is going to repair the damage of the bad thing that you did. It's not always easy, but I feel like this is what you can do as a person whenever you make mistakes because we we

27:46 are going to live this life and make lots of mistakes. We are going to live and we are going to exist in this world by making mistakes. It's impossible not to. And I really liked this moment. It it it for me it was very good and I think it was able to connect the fact that for Duduka what she did with the Phantom Thieves she sees it as a wrong thing. You know she did what she had to do and she did what she believed that she had to do but she still feels like she did something wrong and she doesn't know what to do to repent for what she did. I'm sorry. I really don't know what

28:31 another word for this. And she's very sad over everything, but there is someone else here in this conversation. And then she picks, she turns her around. When I saw this scene, I was like, "Oh my god, are they going to kiss?" I loved this scene. But I think turning her around is another uh way of you know putting her feet back in the right direction because Ruda was taking steps in the right direction and then at this moment she turned around and she it was like she's she was giving her back to the right direction and Kura put her in the right direction again. At this moment, it was everything. Ed Kura told her that everything that she did for this the the sunglasses of this girl

29:19 was to protect that girl's smile. She is already in the right path to repent for what she did when she was a phantom thief. She is helping people. She helped this girl regain her smile back and all of the actions that she took when she became a dog. Ascu Arcana battling the Haninda was to protect the item that felt very spe. It was a very simple sunglass but felt very special to that girl to the birthday girl and Rudika did it did this and for her this was something uh like for Kura this showed that Ruda is already in the right path so come back to the right path. Loved it. And then Mikuru tells Anna like,

30:06 "Show her, show her." And she shows her lots of little ice cream scoops that they got. They got one for each of them so that they could all eat ice creams together. And the cur detective agency. And then we have a very funny scene of Shushutan saying like, "Oh, Ky detective agency is nice, but I really wanted to live in a castle." And then [snorts] Mashan is like, "Oh, Shushutan, that means you don't want ice cream." And Shushan's like, "No, I do want ice cream. This was very sweet." And they invite Duduka to an an ice cream party at the Cur Detective Agency. And Duda answers them by saying, "Oh, it's going to get very lively from now

30:51 on. I don't dislike that." And then she keeps on walking. And this was Dudika's way of sharing her feelings. And we have Mashtan saying this means that Duduka is happy. Mashan sometimes is working as the translator to Duduka's emotions because she can't properly say it all out. And I really loved this as I said this sisterhood between both of them and how Shushutan how Mashtan is really able to understand Duduka. I loved it. And uh then we we have Duda turning around like, "Aren't you coming?" And we have the fairies flying

31:37 and we have Shushan getting back to Kura's arm and everyone is happy because now Kura accepted to live together with them in the Ku detective agency. That was very sweet. And I wonder where Kura is going to live. Is Kura going to live with them? There are two bedrooms. So maybe and then Mikuru can stay in one and Duduk and Kur can stay in the other. Right. And next week, girl, I'm so excited for next week. First of all, we have Goyimon. And in the preview, it says that they find it weird because we have one of the one another goon maze. And they find it weird because there's no Maku jewel here. They there's nothing about a Mak jewel. And I feel like this is going to be important because Goon was the closest to Duduka while she was

32:24 a phantom thief. And I I think there's going to be something related to that. I think there's also the Arcana shadow pendant that he is keeping. And we don't know if Duda is going to be able to use the Archon shadow power. Still, maybe she will. And there are some Archana Shadow moments in the movie. We don't know if they're going to be substituted to cure our kind of scenes or if she is going to be able to be Arcana Shadow in the movie. If that's the case, she might need the pendant before the movie date. We have two more episodes before the movie or three I don't know but the movie is coming and apart from that we also have girl I when I saw this in the preview I

33:10 was like no way I cannot believe it we're going to have Pyun and Kugi girl when I saw the preview I screamed I'm very happy for Kugi obviously too I really like her. But Pyun girl, where's my my thing here? Girl, and will she sing? Obviously not. And we don't even know if like if it's like the real Puridun or the real Kugi or if it's just like randomness through all those doors that like they're they might open a door and Putun will appear. They might open another door and Kugi will appear and that's it. There's like those just two short happy moment and you know those uh

33:58 little moments just for us to freak out a little bit. I will already be very happy. If Metadon appears, you're going to hear me scream. You're going to hear my scream from anywhere in the world, girl. But so far it's announced that only Putyun and Kugi will appear. So maybe just the two of them. Okay, I was searching for this one. just like putun has her uh pink kakulite because we are big cure idol fans. I also love cure I idol. Anyways, loved this episode. It was really really a great experience and I feel like we're getting to know more about Duduka. Certain things that we haven't seen before about her we're discovering now. I also really love how she is uh dealing with her feelings and showing her feelings in a very peculiar

34:43 way. And we have Mashtan to help us understand her. Very, very lovely episode. Very, very lovely character. I love Duduka. I'm also really liking Kura's relationship with her and how patient Kura is with her as well because Duduka sometimes like she presents something and Kura is there to help her achieve what she needs to achieve. She's not there to give it to her. She's there to help Duduka find her path. really really love their relationship as well. What a great episode. What a great what great characters. Really really liking those two. Anyways, this is it for today's video. I want to take this little time to thank the members of the Magical Cinema channel here. If you are a member here or on Patreon, thank you
