The Insights From a Goddess (and Mates) segment of this blog makes a delicious smiled return after almost two years and to commemorate its comeback, I was stumbling to a geek that I just met during ToyCon PH 2022 day 3 and he's actually also a fan of the Pretty Cure series since Star Twinkle! Moreover, he quickly recognized my newly-debuted Cure Macherie cosplay and I got his approval to take some selfies that day.
Introducing Limuel Oco, the dude who is quickly included into the small yet very delighted Cure fan community in the Philippines and wanting to share his own experiences as a fan as well as his impressions about the newest midseason Cure heroine, Amane Kasai aka Cure Finale from Delicious Party.
Yona's Blog: How did you get into the Pretty Cure series?
Limuel Oco: I got into the Pretty Cure series when I saw a clip from Star Twinkle☆PreCure that they are transforming, it finds me more interesting since they are singing while becoming Cures and it looks fun!
YB: What was the first season that you've watched regularly?
LO: The first season that I've watched was Star Twinkle.
YB: Kirayaba (Twincool)~~!!
YB: What is your favorite season and why?
LO: Star Twinkle, likewise.
YB: Do you have a favorite Cure from each season?
LO: Yes.

• Mai Mishou aka Cure Egret and Windy (Splash Star)
• Milk/Kurumi Mimino aka Milky Rose (Yes! 5 and Yes! 5 GoGo!)
• Setsuna Higashi aka Cure Passion (Fresh!)

• Laura Apollodoros Hyginus La Mer aka Cure La Mer (Tropical-Rouge!)
• Amane Kasai aka Cure Finale (Delicious Party)
YB: Wonderful choices! Who are your favorite main fairy mascot from each season?
LO: Kururun (if applicable) from Tropical-Rouge! I find her cute even though that she can't speak, just she said her name.
YB: Napaka-funny talaga si Kururun (Kururun is really funny) eh.
LO: True.
YB: Anyways, who is your favorite villain general (redeemed or not)?
LO: My favorite villain general is Lock from Go! Princess PreCure.
YB: Okay, how about your favorite main villain (redeemed or not)?
LO: The Witch of Delays from Tropical-Rouge!
YB: 'Yung backstory nila (Their backstory) with [the season's ancient heroine Aunete aka Cure] Oasis was so sad.
LO: True ang sad nun, pero it also ended na nakakaiyak (it's so sad, but it also ended tearfully).
YB: I mentioned sa podcast ko (Yona Kuromatoki's Interactive Podcast) that both the Witch and Oasis were similar kina [Manatsu Natsuumi aka Cure] Summer and La Mer yet in different ways (I mentioned in my podcast (Yona Kuromatoki's Interactive Podcast) that both the Witch and Oasis were similar to [Manatsu Natsuumi aka Cure] Summer and La Mer yet in different ways).
LO: Ooohh I see!
YB: Yeah. Tsaka the reason na na-delay n'ya was because gusto n'ya palang makipagkaibigan kay Oasis (And the reason why she delayed it was because she actually wanted to make friends with Oasis). Not knowing the latter had died so many years ago pa (already).
LO: True, almost 100 years n'ya dinelay 'yung battle nila (she (the Witch) delayed their battle for almost 100 years).
YB: Mm, yet at least nag-reunite sila (they're reunited) and nagsama na sila (they've been joined) into the heavens.
LO: True.
YB: That was why, from what I observed, gumawa ng memory wiping machine (the memory wiping machine was made) from a mermaid whose human friend had died due to short life span. So in short yes, semi-immortal ang mermaids/merfolks (mermaids/merfolks are semi-immortals).
LO: True.
YB: Anyways, let's move on sa (to the) next question! Do you collect various Cure merchandises?
LO: Not yet but looking forward to, but right now I have PreCure Juu-Style dolls. The first one is Cure Star, then second is Cure Fontaine that I bought yesterday from ToyCon PH 2022. (BLOGGER'S NOTE: This online conversation was taped on July 11, 2022)
YB: What is your initial impression on Amane Kasai?
LO: I like her, but I expected that she is the midseason Cure.
YB: As a baddie, what did you think of her as Gentle?
LO: What I think her is as Gentle is she is a badass girl with a gentle heart for Recipepes.
YB: We already learned her past about loving parfaits and meeting the Parfait Recipepe since childhood kasi, but after becoming a baddie everything has changed. However, as I did to some past midseason Cures that came before, I know that Amane isn't really bad at all.
LO: True, she is not talaga (she is really not).
YB: Seeing the Recipepe again alongside her made me so happy.
LO: Yaaass!!
YB: 'Yung regrets n'ya (her regrets) about what she has done reminds me of the almost same scenarios dati kina (before to) Passion, Beat and Scarlet.
LO: Yes, me too.
YB: What is your first impression about Amane as Finale?
LO: Amazed because I didn't expect her design was so good.
YB: Ako din (Me too)! Na-overjoy ako (I was overjoyed) that she overcomes 'yung doubts n'ya (her doubts). Well, enough with the overjoying stuff because we're down to the last three questions before I let you go.
LO: Go!
YB: What are the things you looking forward for our dear golden parfait girl and her friends in the coming episodes?
LO: Getting to know more of her story and what she can offer as the new midseason Cure.
YB: How does it feel that Ai Kayano is voicing a Cure?
LO: To be honest I'm not familiar with the seiyuus. But I know that they are bringing our Pretty Cures to life, and giving them emotions and strengths to make more of the characters to be loved by the fans.
YB: Last question before you really go, what are your fan messages to both Kayano and Amane/Finale?
LO: My message will be good luck and you are slaying it from just one episode, and looking forward to see you more until the season finale!
YB: Yay! But also no pun intended, anyways thank you for your time and you're always welcoming back to the blog, and probably we'd love to have you as a guest in Yona Kuromatoki's Interactive Podcast in the future!
LO: Thanks for the info and looking forward to that!
YB: Do you have social media accounts so that everyone can follow you?
LO: I do have socmeds, but it's personal so I don't have any of them with PreCure/anime content. But I have another account that has my hobbies content.
YB: What is your hobby account?
LO: It's @toyluvzz21 on Instagram.
YB: Again, thank you so much for the time in this blog!
LO: You're welcome and thanks for the oppurtunity!
YB: No problem!
