23 June 2020: Healin' Good ♡ Precure is returning because sometimes a punch to the face is the best medicine
If it doesn't work the first time, punch him again.
Healin' Good ♡ Precure has been on hiatus since episode 12 because of Covid-19 production delays, but will reportedly return 28 June. I'm curious whether this means Healin' Good ♡ Precure will have fewer episodes than its predecessors, or if it will still have the same number of episodes but just shift the turnover date for the next installment to the right.
Maybe the Cures spent their time off vigorously training.
I also wonder if episode 13 will pick up right where episode 12 left off (i.e., unchanged from what was planned when the next-episode preview came out), or if there will be some adjustments to account for the delay. If I had to guess, it'll probably just drive on as originally planned, but I would be interested in seeing a real-world timeskip corresponding with the pandemic. I mean, this is a show for children, and it coincidentally has a health and medical theme. It suggests there may be an opportunity to explain to young viewers what happened by depicting how it affected Pretty Cure as well.
