When I saw that Tsuchida was directing today I knew he was gonna do something hilarious, and the episode doesn't disappoint.

I guess Skyland doesn't look so different from Earth in this series but them riding on chocobos gives it away. Looks like things are cranking up towards the ending if their transformation happens so soon in the episode. Them doing the majestic halation right off the bat kinda feels like trying to throw a pokeball right at the start of a Pokemon encounter, of course it isn't gonna work. The cutoff transformation sequences is a fun gag. The cliff the princess/Cure Noble prays at looks an awful like the cliff where the crew meets Empress Undergu HMMM.
