## Differences Between *Glitter Force* *Doki Doki* and *Doki Doki! Pretty Cure*

* Like in *Glitter Force*, some footage is darkened, likely to prevent seizures.
	+ Also, like in *Glitter Force*, the dialogue is often added in scenes that have no dialogue in the original Japanese version.
* The names of the Cures are Americanized. However, Maya and Clara retain their original surnames of Aida and Yotsuba respectively. The Selfish Trio's names are also unchanged for the most part.
* Sharuru is renamed Kippie, Raquel is renamed Rory, Daybi is renamed Davi, and Ai is renamed, Dina.
* When in Glitter Pad form, the mascot's voices become slightly distorted, as if they're coming from a speaker. This effect is not present in the original version.
* The Trump Kingdom is renamed the kingdom of Splendorius.
* The name of the Selfish King is changed to King Mercenare.
* The name Jikochuu is changed to Distain.
* Some dubbed episodes are combinations of two original episodes. For instance, episode one of *Glitter Force Doki Doki* is made up of the first two episodes of *Doki Doki Pretty Cure*.
* The Lovely Commune is called the Glitter Pad and the Cure Loveads are called Glitter Charms.
* Okada Joe is now known as Johnny and Princess Marie Ange is now known as Princess Marie Angelica.
* Thirteen episodes are completely cut from the dub.
	+ The combination of other episodes results in *Glitter Force Doki Doki* having a total of 19 fewer episodes than the original.

## Trivia

* *Glitter Force Doki Doki* has 19 fewer episodes than the Japanese version (Dok iDoki! Pretty Cure), which means the 19 episodes were omitted.
	+ 13 episodes of the original are completely removed, while other episodes are combined.
* It's never explained how the Glitter Force uses their upgrade for **Five of a Kind Glitter Bow**, as the episode where they got it in the Japanese version is removed.
