## Differences between the Cheerfulverse and FiH

* In the Cheerfulverse, the Divinity remains alive. But in FiH, She chose Katrina Moonshade as Her successor.
* Marina has a very close friend in Jeremy. This makes sense concerning the fact that he can hear oracles like a pure Miko can, and she said the lines concerning oracles in MPQ.
* Pure Mikos don't necessarily have to have a robe/white outfit and unchanged hair and eyes in their magical warrior form (although some do), to mix it up and not make it boring.
* The magical warriors from Paris in the Quanticverse world of the Multiverse appear as supporting characters making occasional appearances to help out in each season. Alya and Nino are mentioned to be a duo who have to be together to transform, Alix Kubdel is mentioned to be a Messiah (based on her canon counterpart, Bunnyx, having the position as the team's last resort due to messing with time being very dangerous), and Nathaniel Kurtzberg and Rose Lavillant are Mikos.
* There are non-main magical warriors out there who operate in various places and appear as supporting characters, such as Katrina Moonshade (though she works for Queen Vera for most of the series), Irene White, Trip McCoy, and the Parisian warriors. Like *Madoka Magica* and *Happiness Charge Pretty Cure*, it is heavily implied that there are magical warriors besides the mains all over the Multiverse (but especially the Pokéverse).
* While romantic relationships are still present (in addition to the main premise of friendship), such as Nanette and Mikey or Bianca and Cheren, the main type of love that is emphasized is the love between friends, and platonic declarations of love (though often in a group context, such as "we love you, [character's name])," are more frequent than romantic declarations.
* Messiah characters can force themselves to transform with enough willpower. However, this is dangerous - attempting it can cause extreme exhaustion and fainting, there is no garuntee it will even work, and they often don't even stay transformed for long.
* Unlike in the Cheerfulverse where there only seems to be one villain becoming a hero in their own right, several villains defect from the villains' side and become Chosen Ones and magical warriors - examples include Mira, Nicole, Tsukiko, and Honoko (though unlike in other series, the last two are additionally joined by an undecided male servant who also joins them on their infiltrations and also makes the switch to a good guy).
* While Serena Tsukino doesn't exist in FiH, she is "split" between two characters: Nanette partially takes her appearance, while Elizabeth takes her personality and some of her poses and her transformation sequence.
* Jeremy and Jill break the usual tradition of twins having to be together to transform.
* The Cheerfulverse equivalent of "The Royal Guardians" is the second episode of Season 9. The first episode instead focuses on Nicole adjusting to her new life as a human after several weeks and is called "Nicole's New Life." It takes place a week after the warriors become royalty.
* There is a character who thinks outside the box to get the exact powers and transformed appearance she wants instead of it being chosen for her, especially since unlike Madoka Magica, the warriors are told the exact terms of the contract beforehand (soul remains in their body, responsibility to fight evil, possibility of becoming a witch, etc), but don't choose their powers or costume unless it is specifically requested: Esmeralda wishes that when transformed, she becomes a beautiful pink alicorn with a rainbow horn (clause 1) *who also has* love and sun-based powers (clause 2). Ironically, however, the Magic of Friendship decided that she would be a messiah.
* There is no sidestory focusing on the ponies, as the ponies join the full-time cast after "A Maiden's True Heart" (their debut episode, which Nina also debuts in). However, the Young Six/Student Six don't appear until Season 9.
* Occasionally, warriors *cheat* in Gym battles or tournaments by transforming and uses their attacks to help out their Pokémon if they are struggling, or are tempted to do so. However, this results in immediate disqualification, and applies not just to warriors, but ordinary magic users as well.
	+ While Nanette, Mikey and Nina know better, the first one ***SCOLDS*** her older sister Marina when she purposefully cheats after finding out she's fighting against a disguised Jessie, only for *all three of them* to get kicked out. Poor Nina regrets not warning her at the last minute.
	+ This also applies even if the character has the same powers as the Pokémon, as shown in the Alcremie-ful Decoration Tournament episode in S10 with Opal (which, unlike the canon version, has a large amount of civilians also participating) where Lydia decides to use not only Whip's (her Alcremie) whipped cream to decorate the cake, but her own whipped cream powers untransformed as well. When tasting hers, Opal finds her cake the most delicious and declares her the winner of the tournament. When she asks what her secret is, however, she admits she used her magic whipped cream the decorate the cake, and is promptly disqualified for cheating, making Pinkie Pie (who came in second) the winner.
* The more powerful magical warriors get captured more often, mostly by individuals who want their strong power or who would consider them a threat to their plan if they just let them be on the loose (with the latter scenario being more common).
* Whenever a messiah forces themselves to transform from sheer willpower, it resembles this YuYuYu clip, although this is dangerous and carries a risk of extreme exhaustion and fainting.
* Pure Mikos gain Stage 5 like Heroes and Messiahs, though they still only have combat power if they wield their Element of Harmony. Their basic kicks and punches are also stronger, though they otherwise still have no way to damage or purify enemies.
* In Season 10, besides a slice-of-life episode focusing on all the Mikos hanging out, there is also a similar one focusing on all the Messiahs.
* In the *Heroes' Chapter*, besides Lil' Cheese who transitioned prior to her debut, there is a transgender magical warrior introduced who is initially a girl, but then realizes (s)he actually feels better being a boy. After declaring himself a boy and deciding his name will now be Ian rather than Ivory, his magical warrior costume changes from a dress to a tuxedo and his hair only grows slightly longer.

## Trivia

* Like the original Cheerfulverse projects, all villainous teams are recurring antagonists - instead, the Angels of the Apocalypse are the *supposed* true main antagonists, with Event Horizon, her fellow teammates and the Vertex appearing to be the main evil until the truth is revealed in Season 10 by Queen Vera.
* Kendall is the only member of the main group to be too young to own her own Pokémon, as she is 9. As a result, she is only allowed to travel since her two twin cousins Jeremy and Jill assume responsibility for her to allow her to do so.
* Katrina's wish made before she was brainwashed is to remain healthy no matter how much food she eats or what kind of food it is. This even comes up in one scene where the villains are sharing a large plate of fast food from PokéDonalds and Event Horizon is the only one who doesn't feel sluggish and lethargic from all the junk food and coffee, meaning that the effects of her wish do not disappear in her villainous form.
* Demencia's crush on Black Hat is more exaggerated, with her even practicing *proposing* to him several times in the mirror, looking through his phone pictures when he's not looking, and often wearing a Black Hat T-shirt.
* Jeremy Starsapphire is a hero with miko's powers, making him the first (out-of-universe on the writers' part) boy character to be given a miko role.
* Nicole does not make a contract and become a magic warrior in her debut as a human, as she makes the contract offscreen a few weeks after being transformed. It is also confirmed that nothing would happen to her even if she were to have her magic drained or if Elizabeth herself were to lose her life or her magic, since Nicole is kept alive not by magic such as the Light of Hope but by her own body like anyone else. The *effects* of it on her are permanent, but her own body keeps her alive. Their creator describes this as like melted rubber or glass solidifying and remaining in the shape it was when it was liquid even after the heat is gone.
* While there are still somewhat more female warriors than males, there are more male OCs than in other series, where the majority of male heroes tend to be canon-adapted characters.
* Like GoH and MiD, a council is formed by the reborn, now-semi-immortal magic warriors in the *Great Blossom Chapter* finale after the Multiverse is reborn.
* The Starsapphire and Starruby families have a bitter feud with each other and have for generations, though the younger generations don't agree with this and often befriend members of the opposite family in secret (as shown with Christine and Aiden and Kendall, Jeremy, and Jill). In the first episode, however, Christine ends this by wishing for the feud to stop and for the families to get along. In the next generation, a half-Starruby, half-Starsapphire child is even born.
* Despite being twins, Jeremy and Jill can transform independently of each other, while this is not the case for other sets of twins such as Harper and Sarah Aquadream or Samantha and Sam Sewstitch.
* Since the Porters don't exist, they are replaced with two other families: the Aohoshis/Starsapphires who all have dark blue hair and eyes, a sapphire gem key birthmark, sapphire-themed Harmony Marks, and are all Water Elementals with dark blue Harmony Gems if they are a Chosen One, and the Akahoshis/Starrubies, who all have bright or dark red (not orange) hair and eyes, a ruby gem crown birthmark, ruby-themed Harmony Marks, and are all Fire Elementals with bright red Harmony Gems if they are a Chosen One. Both families are also located in Wisteria Town on Potpourri Island south of Kanto.
	+ Jeremy is also the *only* exception to Chosen One Starsapphires having blue as their theme color, as he has a light green raincoat as part of his outfit. However, in his transformed state, he still has blue hair (though it brightens), blue eyes, a blue Harmony Gem and Power Necklace, and a blue magic aura.
* There are noticeably more pure Mikos and Messiahs, as besides the core group of centrals having a token Hero with Miko powers, a token pure Miko, and a token Messiah, there are usually 1-2 (occasionally more) of each in each region, and this is also true for the *Hero's Chapter* and the *Great Blossom Chapter,* which respectively have (undecided) for the former, and Phoebe Stickysnow (also a Hero) and (undecided) (pure) as the Mikos and Tsukiko and Honoko as the Messiahs after redeeming themselves for the latter.
* Like all other Cheerfulverse crossovers, Rainbow Power first appears in Season 10 after a mini-arc when the magical warriors get a mysterious magical chest from the Magic of Friendship, and have to find the keys to open it. It first appears in said season to make sure all the warriors get it and not have to repeat the quest in every season.
* Much like other series, it is shown that Kyubey is physically incapable of making a contract with or granting a wish to somecreature who is not a Chosen One, as shown when Nina Starscout asks for a wish but Kyubey says she cannot grant her one, or when she fails to make a Harmony Gem for Elfreda since she has no Power Necklace to give her one.
* The "saving Katrina" arc incorporates elements from both *YuYuYu* and *Sailor Moon*, not just the latter as was originally planned. Part of the last episode of the arc, "Cracking the Pink Shell", takes elements from this scene during the 5th episode of YuYuYu's *Dai Mankai* chapter, but with the blood and gore toned down, while part of it also takes elements from the final episode of the original *Sailor Moon* anime (although like the former scene, it does not take place in space like the latter does). Everycreature (even Katrina) also ends up in the hospital sanged afterwards, but they recover in the next episode, just in time for the real final battle. However, at the beginning of said episode after the sanges wear off, Katrina is also finally reunited with her parents after 8 years of being missing.
* Shawn is the only magical warrior with a merfolk tail due to the lack of Katy and Sky and thus the existence of a team after Amber, thus meaning Melissa, Chiffon, and Kylie also do not exist.
