The Magical DoReMi Star Detective Precure crossover is officially happening, and fans of both franchises have plenty to celebrate. The official website for Star Detective Precure!, the 23rd main entry in the Precure franchise, announced on Friday that episode 39 will air on October 25 as a special team-up with the Ojamajo Doremi anime. Here is why the collaboration makes sense and what viewers can expect.
What Is the Magical DoReMi Star Detective Precure Crossover?
Alongside the announcement, the site revealed a special collaboration visual and new character artwork. The artwork shows the Star Detectives dressed in witch apprentice outfits inspired by Ojamajo Doremi. The Magical DoReMi Star Detective Precure crossover will be the series’ 39th episode, giving the show a major milestone moment in the middle of its run.
Why 1999 Makes This Crossover a Natural Fit
The strongest reason for the pairing is the timeline. Star Detective Precure! is set in 1999, the same year the original Ojamajo Doremi premiered in Japan. Because the story already takes place in that era, the Magical DoReMi Star Detective Precure crossover feels like a loving nod to the period rather than a random guest appearance. It is also a tribute to a franchise that shaped the magical girl genre long before Precure became a household name.
What to Expect From the Halloween Episode
The episode has a Halloween theme, which fits the witch apprentice costumes. Expect the detective heroines to swap their usual sleuthing outfits for magical looks while still tackling the mystery of the week. The Magical DoReMi Star Detective Precure crossover should mix nostalgia for older fans with a fun seasonal story for newer viewers.
A Quick Look at Both Franchises
Ojamajo Doremi debuted in 1999. A heavily edited English version aired in the United States from 2005 as Magical DoReMi. In 2020, the 20th anniversary film Looking for Magical DoReMi opened after a delay, and it later won Best Animation Film at the 75th Mainichi Film Awards. This legacy explains why the Magical DoReMi Star Detective Precure crossover carries so much weight for long-time fans.
Star Detective Precure! premiered on February 1 on ABC TV, TV Asahi and affiliated channels. It follows Anna Akechi, a second-year middle school student who travels from 2027 back to 1999 after her companion fairy Pochitan appears on her birthday. There she meets Mikuru Kobayashi, a classmate who dreams of becoming a great detective. Together they become Precure detectives and use deductive reasoning to stop the Phantom Thieves, who steal people’s precious belongings.
