Star Detective PreCure Review Ep5 Review
This episode starts with Jett working in his lab as Mystique starts her new school semester. Nijee is told by Maestro Usonoir that he will not accept another failure. Answer and Pochi notice that it looks like it's about to rain and go to take Mystique an umbrella. Before they leave, Jett gives Answer a new gadget that is supposed to protect the cures when they're in danger.
At the school, Answer is at the school gate when she sees Mystique laughing with 2 of her school mates. She feels jealous and sad about this. Answer goes to walk away and comes across a college student looking for her middle school age sister. Her sister is on exchange in London. But over the past few days, people have been telling her that they have seen her sister around town. She called the school office and was told her sister wasn't there. She called her sister in London that morning, but got no answer.
Meanwhile, Mystique is given a case by the school headmaster to find the "Ghost" that a security guard saw by a statue of two birds during his night patrols. She tries to contact Answer with the memo tool. Answer, however, doesn't answer the device. I like that Mystique attempted to call her. Whereas Answer thought about it, but decided otherwise. I get that Answer really only has Mystique and Jett being in this time. She doesn't want to bother her friend who is currently at school with such things. We learn that Mystique is afraid of ghosts.
When the two meet up at school, they bicker about taking a case without the other. Pochi doesn't like they're bickering. Mystique runs off to ask a girl if she's noticed anything weird. The girl, who is the girl that Answer is looking for, was starting at the statue as the Cures argued. A swallow flies really low and close to Mystique and the girl as they speak. When Mystique leaves, the girl turns away and her eyes are Nijee's eyes.
Pochi then drags Answer towards the statue where a Makoto Jewel is in danger. They run into Mystique along the way and she comes with. The girl jumps down onto the statue. Answer is finally able to fill Mystique in on her case. The Cures bicker amongst themselves before Nijee interrupts them. Nijee explains he chose to disguise as someone on exchange because he wouldn't draw attention at the school. He couldn't figure out how to move the statue for several days though. So he went to the town to look into possible options of moving it. Mystique telling him that swallows fly low when it rains gave him an idea. He turned the statue into two swallows.
After being tossed around by the Monsters of day, Jett's new gadget lands in front of Answer. Answer tries to use it, but it doesn't work. Pochi jumps in front of the cures to make a beam of protective light to keep the monsters from attacking the girls. Nijee decides to leave with the two monsters saying he got 2 Makoto Jewels. Usonoir angrily grips his stage vernaculars as he mutters about a time and space fairy. The two cures are left cradling a now past out Pochi in despair.
I like that we get to see how the two cures deal with friction between them. These fights are needed for personal growth and you can't always have a victory every episode. We're laying some ground work. I also really like Nijee. So I give this episode a B rank.
