Takashi Tanaka of Asahi Brodcasting Corporation said the the theme of "Heroism" was to honor the series' 20th anniversary saying that "However, this time, we dared to choose "Hero" as the theme.This is the 20th installment of the Pretty Cure series, which started with "[[Futari wa Pretty Cure]]." In the history of Pretty Cure, which evolves and expands in various ways, What I have continued to draw in, is the appearance of the girls who have carved out a difficult path with their own hands and stood at the forefront to encourage everyone. I chose this theme with that thought in mind."<ref name="mw" /> He also said that "The main character, Sora, is a girl who yearns to be a hero. With the desire to become a hero, she pushes forward beyond the boundless blue sky. She will grow while discovering a "hero".Through her, I would like to carefully draw a Pretty Cure-like hero image.To dream, to never give up, to forgive others, to believe in friends, to be positive. Working hard, and sharing that moment..."<ref name="mw" /> Series creator Ten Washio also stated in an interview that regarding the series is that "The Pretty Cure series, which started with Futari wa Pretty Cure in 2004, has reached its 20th work! I think it was only thanks to everyone's support that I was able to do it.Thank you very much.Thank you from the bottom of my heart.Now, Pretty Cure has been crowned with many themes and motifs so far, but this work is the theme is a "hero", and "sky" is the motif. The endless "sky", a magnificent world that is clear and blue and full of transparency. The main character of this work is the character that embodies the "sky" that you imagine."<ref name="mw" />
The voice actors for the main characters commented on their roles on the series. Akira Sekine said that "I will cherish this baton that I received from all the seniors who were involved in Pretty Cure, and I will do my best to spread courage and energy to everyone together with Sora! I will!" Ai Kakuma, who voiced Rabirin in ''[[Healin' Good Pretty Cure]]'' said that "I was in charge on voicing Rabirin's for 'Healin' Good Pretty Cure' for a year, but all the time and experience I had with Pretty Cure became my treasure." Aoi Koga, notable for voicing Paimon in ''[[Genshin Impact]]'', said on her role in the series that "Even before I became a voice actor, it was my dream and goal to appear in the Pretty Cure series, so I was incredibly happy. I couldn't calm down, thinking, "Isn't this still a dream?"I was grateful to be able to be involved in the work I longed for, and to be able to live in the world as Elle-chan, and face each episode with care. I think so!"<ref name="mw" />
