A lot of people talk about Super Sentai and Kamen Rider continuities and whether they share the same world as their other seasons. But not a lot of people talk about another Toei mega franchise, PreCure (which has also sorta crossed over with both?) and how all their seasons DO share the same universe.

In hugtto PreCure they have a regular episode where a bunch of previous cures show up such as Cure Echo to set up the events of the then upcoming All Stars movie for that season. This shows that the All Stars crossover films are canonical and all 23 PreCure seasons are set in the same reality. There's also a few smaller bits of cross continuity I know one season mentions Ranko (a side character from the Go! Princess PreCure season) now being a famous idol.

Hoo boy, the PreCure rabbit hole is just...

Wew, I fear for anyone's sanity if they go down it to do a Timeline.

Who's up for the ultimate time waster of making a timeline for the entire Cartoon Network multiverse. I.e. every series represented in the OK K.O. "Crossover Nexus" special. That's basically every show from the channel's entire history as well as all of Hannah Barbera. The only shows not counted I believe are Ninjago, Chima, Mixels, Nexo Knights, Unikitty, Unicorn: Warriors Eternal, Ivandoe and Iyanu, either because they moved to Adult Swim, didn't get made until way after Crossover Nexus or are Lego series. iirc Invincible Fight Girl had some items in a shop that might connect it to the multiverse so even though it got moved to HBO Max that show still counts I think.

Hardest part is deciding which shows are the same universe or not. Dexter, PPG and Samurai Jack are all confirmed separate, both by the creators and the comic crossover showing them as separate earths in the same panel. OK K.O. seems to share the same universe as Hannah Barbera, Captain Planet, Villainous and Victor and Valentino. Also possibly the Trigger anime Little Witch Academia for some reason.

All the Canadian and Japanese imports are more or less connected as well due to the Noods dressing up as the characters and the Noods canonically existing thanks to the OK KO special showing them. So yeah Naruto is in the CN multiverse as well as Total Drama, sure why not
