Toei Animation announced the Cure Éclair Arc for Detective Pretty Cure!, starting June 21 with four consecutive episodes focusing on candidate characters. The true identity of Cure Éclair will be revealed in episode 25 on July 19. A voting campaign will run alongside the episodes, and the character song title is "I am a Mystery."
The four candidates are Kurusu Eliza (a 17-year-old high school student and rookie mystery novelist, voiced by Akari Akemi), Ieiri Shiruku (a 16-year-old Heisei-era major rookie actor, voiced by Natsumi Murakami), Howa Kurea (a 16-year-old patissier at Pâtisserie Chuchu, voiced by Ikumi Hasegawa), and Kaneda Rei (a 15-year-old student council president of private Makoto Mirai Gakuen, voiced by Lynn). Each gets a spotlight episode from June 21 through July 12, leading to the reveal in episode 25 on July 19.
During those four weeks, fans can vote once a day online via a special site or at physical voting boxes set up at eight locations nationwide, including Pretty Stores. The official hashtag is #WhoIsCureEclair. Purchases at participating stores come with a voting slip and a random "proof of voting" novelty. All four candidate episodes will also be available for free catch-up streaming on the official Pretty Cure YouTube channel from July 12 to July 26.
