Fandom
Shipping
Like other Precure seasons, yuri ships dominate the fandom. Ships such as Cure Blossom/Cure Marine, which may be seen as opposites attract, due to the shy nature of Cure Blossom and the outgoing personality of Cure Marine at the beginning of the series. Further, they start the series as a duo and as such foster a close relationship with each other when compared to other characters in the show.
