Detective Pretty Cure! Crosses Over With Ojamajo Doremi In Halloween Episode
The crossover works because both shows share Toei Animation and Sunday morning television, and the 1999 setting of Detective Pretty Cure! is the year Ojamajo Doremi started, so Doremi enters as a fictional television anime rather than as its actual characters.

Toei Animation announced that Detective Pretty Cure!, the 23rd Precure series now airing, will cross over with Ojamajo Doremi in episode 39 on October 25. The four Curette Detective Agency members dress as witch apprentices for a Halloween story. Yoshihiko Umakoshi, who designed Heartcatch Precure! characters, drew the collaboration visual. Doremi appears as an in-show TV anime, since Detective Pretty Cure! is set in 1999, the year Doremi began airing.
Episode 39, titled "Ojamajo na Halloween" according to the released art, puts Akira Anna, Kobayashi Mikuru, Hoba Crea, and Mori Aruruka into costumes modeled on Harukaze Doremi, Fujiwara Hazuki, Senoo Aiko, and Segawa Onpu. The nickname suffixes follow Doremi's witch apprentice transformation roll call. In the story, the four help a lost girl named Hina during a shopping district Halloween event before the villain Agesene, disguised as a witch, steals a broom holding Hina's Makoto Jewel. Because their costumes have already been seen, they change into different disguises.
