(Star Detective) - my theory about the White Lilies in episodes 21, 22, and 23

White Lilies have been showing up a lot in recent Meitantei episodes.

In episode 21, there are white lilies in the garden that are flower buds that haven't bloomed yet. Jett says that someone else planted them before he arrived in Japan (I'm guessing maybe Luluka and Eclair). I included a real life picture of white lilies so you can see what their flower buds look like.

Anyways, these white lilies from the garden are shown again in episode 23. They are still buds and growing. Then at the end of the episode, they finally bloom and smell nice.

Mikuru comments that her room (which use to be Eclair's room) smells like these white lilies. Adding that maybe the real Eclair will regain her memories if she smells a white lily.

This may have already happened. Eriza entered Mikuru's room in episode 21. In the japanese audio, Eriza uses the word "nanka" (which means "for some reason"). She couldn't explain why, but "for some reason" she felt relaxed by the scent of white lilies in this room.

So yes, Eriza could possibly be Eclair. But she is not the only possibility. At the end of episode 22, Shiruku received a bouquet of white lilies. And throughout episode 23, Kurea was constantly around white lilies.

All I'm saying is that each of the Eclair candidates seem to have a connection with white lily flowers.

And in episode 21, Usonoir's prophecy went like this: "The blue butterfly returns. From four flowers, she searches for the bloom to rest her wings."

So basically the "bloom" is the white lilies that bloomed in the garden. And when the "four flowers" (the 4 girls with a connection to white lilies) all get together in the garden, the blue butterfly (Cure Eclair) will return.

Cure Eclair was shattered along with the Makoto Jewel, so maybe these four flower girls each have a piece of Eclair's soul/memories that need to be reunited.

I still think Kurea is the real Eclair. She is not a regular civilian because she is able to see Cures and monsters fighting. And plus, Luluka seemed devastated when Kurea could not remember her name.

However, Kurea's amnesia won't go away until she and the other flower girls meet up in that garden together.

There are 4 types of fairies in Star Detective. Pandas, cats, foxes, and tanukis, and each race has different powers.

Panda-like fairies (like Pochitan) have space and time powers. They can travel back in time. But if they travel for a long period of time (like 28 years), they will use up all their power and turn into a baby. They can also magically store a few items inside their bodies. However, if they try to store too much, their bodies can't contain it and all the items will spill out. They can also change their appearance a little, like Pochitan having backpack straps or turning into a balloon. Pochitan can also use a powerful energy blast as a last resort (like when it saved Anna and Mikuru in episode 5), but it leaves Pochitan exhausted afterwards. However, if Anna and Mikuru use the Mirror Loupe, they can properly use this energy for their Flying Spectrum attack and Pochitan won't get tired.

Cat-like fairies (like Jett-senpai, and his buddies and old mentor from Europe) have the power to invent magical items. They can decide how these items will work, and also how they will look like. They create these items with spells, like a spell to something look cuter. And so far, Jett-senpai's inventions are very useful. I won't list them all, but they basically give some superpowers to humans like Anna and Mikuru. Magical tools that let people understand foreign/animal languages, or lets them draw and create objects out of light, and many other great inventions. That said, it seems difficult to create these items. Even for a 222 year old genius like Jett-senpai, it still takes him a few days to make them. And sometimes, he doesn't fully understand how they work. He didn't invent the Mirror Loupe because he just recreated it from a blueprint book of inventions that other fairies have already made. So when he gave it to Anna, he was honest and told her he wasn't sure how it worked.

Fox-like fairies (like Mashutan) have fortune telling powers. They are able to predict the future. Mashutan and her ancestors have been doing this for a long time. It seems that they need a fortune telling object (like a crystal ball or a prophecy book) to help them use their powers. But to honest with you, I think Mashutan and the Tomb of Mirages make vague predictions. They are worded so vaguely and they don't specifically tell you what will happen. But despite being vague, these predictions still often come true. However, this power is not absolute, since Anna's time travelling was not predicted in the Tomb of Mirages.

Tanuki-like fairies (like Shushutan) are... a total mystery. No information about them yet.

As for the power to transform into humans or to float in air, I just think those powers are common among all fairies.
